Regardless of one's political preferences, one should be independent enough to recognise that the subject Galaxy polls presented obvious inconsistencies.

If jeer or cheer is your thing then so be it, but it does not say much about your capacity for independent thought. Have you ever considered that there are people who do not align themselves with either 'side' and eschew ad hominem arguments and abuse in favour of discussion?

It’s hard to believe that someone with a penchant for deceiving the Australian people , as evidenced in this piece of hocus pocus , could ever have been allowed to represent Australia in anything at all, let alone as a diplomat!
But then, I seem to remember you were appointed by Whitlam…or by Labor, anyway….I think you’re a failed Labor candidate as well aren’t you? Explains a lot.
Of course Howard was reluctant to interfere in East Timor…he wasn’t silly.
Most of the points you make are so ridiculous , uninformed and garbled that they deserve to be ignored …. you don’t even say where the naval vessels were deployed to…. then you’re into the usual silly old mantras.
Are you telling us that your man Rudd, would hand over the power to decide who can come to Australia, to a Norwegian or any other freighter captain, and/or an Indonesian people-smuggler?
Why don’t you just get Rudd to clear this matter up with the Australian people asap?
The children ended up in the water by the hand of their own parents, who relentlessly sabotaged and scuttled the boat, knowing their children would inevitably end up in shark-infested waters…burning, chopping….it’s all in the Navy signals….end of story.
Arrivals by plane go through customs, who check them out.
Detention camps were a Labor policy….the time spent in them is due to their recourse to the High Court…a Labor policy.
On Iraq, the liar is you…not Howard.
Where is the evidence re your Howard / Wheat Board claim…..it’s another lie, isn’t it?
The Iraq war isn’t over yet…your lust for defeat for our soldiers and surrender to Al Qaeda is palpable….you and Rudd are desperate to pull them out before they have a chance to win, aren’t you?
I guess you, like Rudd, think the people of Afghanistan deserve freedom and democracy…… but the people of Iraq don’t……even though they risked their lives to vote for freedom on three occasions.
It’s another lie that Howard and Brough conveyed the impression that most aboriginal men are paedophiles…lie upon lie.
What an embarrassment you are.
