Onya Frank....I'm beginning to see a strong similarity between my muslim correspondent on youtube who reasons:

AbuBakur 'offered' his 6yr old daughter to Mohammad, by 'accepting' Mohammads proposal...

and you.. who blame the 'opposition' (captured by the religious right) for Labors abysmal performance...

Yep.. convoluted logic if every I saw any.. and quite helpful in assessing the "unusual" (to be kind) understanding of many things coming from "progressive" pens/Keyboards.

In fact..it rather fits even further [Migrants come here and WE must adjust to 'their' ways"] :) thats the general tone of many pro MC/PC posts.

This must be some psychological condition which deserves careful clinical observation and scrutiny. Left is 'right' UP is 'down'

Perhaps your anti religious right/nutter jibe was just one of those throwaway lines of frustration... ok.. maybe. I'll assume that.

Well.. my take is still as it was at the beginning. "People" i.e the human heart.. sin.. is what is destroying Labor in NSW.
Sin has this habit of continually re-inventing itself to circumvent the latest measures aimed at restraining it.

Ever wonder why most laws are "Don't" this or that ? I've yet to see any "Law" which is specifically couched in +ve terminology....

"If a person works at meals on wheels for one week straight, they will get a mention in hansard" Nope.. its allll against our natural inclinations. John the Baptist was right

""You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance!"

Amen 2 that! "fruit" in government befitting repentant people.

If it is Gods wrath that is hurting NSW why has he turned his back on the good people?
If it is the Catholic right then it is the only faction of the Labor party that could ever win an election.
Wrong remains wrong and some who wear my party colors have betrayed it.
In the next hours and days we will see if all good men come to the aid of the party or continue to serve themselves.

Well people are really hurting in NSW and feelings are running high particularly among the Italian community.An Italian business aquaintence who recently met Iemma and called him a piece of excreta in Italian.This lot are shaming their own community.
They have to go!We need street demonstrations now to spur Kevin Rudd into action.It we can sack councils on the recommendation of the ICAC,why not state Govts?Every layer of public administration is a shambles.People and investors are deserting NSW in droves.If you think it is bad now,just imagine another three years of this debaucherous,corrupt mal-administration!

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO STOP THE ROT NOW!THE TIME FOR TALKING IS OVER!

Seriously CJ your second para was rubbish. And just wait till those expat Mexicans from over the Murray make their mark.

FrankGol, you'd delight in rubbishing anybody who posted something as useless as your scribbling here. Car won't start? Give the tyre a kick Frank.

Arjay, how'd it go? 'heading in the right direction, still more to do'or some such piffle. Does the law regarding benefiting from the proceeds of crime apply here?

In the same way as I and everybody I've spoken to does not believe that the AWB scandal was not known about from the top down, nobody will believe that the immorality of the cosy relationship between the NSW ALP and developers {and pubs) is not broadly understood by all in the ALP.

Belly, your hand-wringing is comical. Bring back the bananabender Mike Kaiser- he knows how to FIX things.

palimpsest: "Seriously CJ your second para was rubbish."

Good point, old pal. I did let Labor off far too lightly, didn't I? The NSW ALP government is certainly looking increasingly bad, and I am indeed concerned about Qld's future infrastructural woes. I must've been feeling unusually optimistic when I wrote that comment.

However, the answer's quite simple - vote them out, but it seems to me that the comments about the NSW Opposition being in disarray have some merit, and at any rate I don't imagine they would be any more competent nor less corrupt.

Surely the Opposition has plenty of issues around which they can gather support and a coherent alternative government between now and the next NSW election?

FrankGol: "Could the ALP's dreadful performance in NSW be related to the abysmal standard of the Opposition captured by the religious fanatics?

BOAZ in response: "...I'm beginning to see a strong similarity between my muslim correspondent on youtube who reasons: AbuBakur 'offered' his 6yr old daughter to Mohammad, by 'accepting' Mohammads proposal...and you.. who blame the 'opposition' (captured by the religious right) for Labors abysmal performance..."

"Amen 2 that! "fruit" in government befitting repentant people."

FrankGol (just to be perfectly clear that I'm not still quoting BOAZ): Can someone please tell me how BOAZ got from my question about whether a weak Opposition enables the ALP Government in NSW to get away with incompetence...to BOAZ's muslim correspondent on youtube, Abu Bakur's daughter, migrants, meals on wheels, John the Baptist, a brood of vipers fleeing the coming wrath and fruit in repentance?

I think I lost David's post-modernist plot. Anyone else follow?
