But obviously by your logic, agreeing with you was not smart!
I hope that's coherEnt English.

Ginx,
My apoligies. The comment was supposed to be a complement, but obviously did not turn out that way. Looks like my coherent english is not so good. I could have used far better phrasing and wording, or better still, not made the comment at all. I did note it after posting, but too late.

The only excuse I can give is that I was thinking more about getting close to the 350 word limit. I am sorry and I do appreciate your original comments.

I'm struggling with this whole migrant getting handouts thing. I'm a migrant. I got handed nothing. I couldn't get the dole, or benefits, or handouts or whatever-the-hell some of you are saying I get. I got a job cleaning straight after I got my TFN. Then moved on to other jobs from there.

Maybe you guys are thinking of refugees, or something. But I 'spose, we all look the same to some of you.

Case in point.

Pericles: "If Vanilla and I weren't such great friends, I'd be tempted to reply that simply pointing out that "politicians are a mixed bag of all types""

Did I say that? If so, there's no threat to our friendship, Pericles, as I disown myself. But I don't think I done did say that.

PALE&IF. You didn't answer my question earlier about RSPCA Queensland. Does it endorse your views on this site?

TurnLeftThenRight,
Could not help but notice that you used the term 'populist policies' in your first post. Thats an interesting term. It was used as a derogitory term by jouralists and academics in criicising Paulines policies.

Although the meaning does not state it. It seems to imply that the policies were formulated purely because they were deemed to be popular and Pauline did not believe in them.

I have never seen the term used to discribe other politicians policies. Yet both Howard and Rudd advocated Tax cuts prior to the election. Could that not be termed as populist?

All political parties and politicians formulate policies in a way that will appeal, hopefully, to people. Very few occasions are policies put out that they know will be unpopular or think they cannot sell to the public. Sometimes they get it wrong,like the AWA.

Are not politicians elected to represent the views of their constituents?

So why not use the term to discribe all policies or don't use the term at all?

so I will help you Xenophobiamaniacs who are afraid to do a please explain re Kafkaesque

"26. I would sympathise with the father being caught in this
Kafkaesque situation. It would seem to me that the inability of
the child support authority to advise the applicant of why it
made an assessment of a particular sum in his case would
amount to "special circumstances" sufficient to warrant the
inquiry permitted by s.117 of the CSA Act."

this was G vs G and talking to how Howard govt [and his sheep] allowed the Child Support Agency to try to use the Privacy Act in reverse to protect IT from its victims

Pauline was going, inter alia, to zap CSA, so what I liked was her straight shooting and not the fact she did not understand the PC flavour of the month word xenophobic [hope I spelled it right!] by the PC creeps of that time [that continues right here, but morphed into Kafkaesquephobia]
