I appreciate your sentiments Bronwyn. But I’m supporting Yabby on this one.

The antics that Mr Buswell has admitted to really don’t amount to a serious breach of ethics, morals, parliamentary behaviour or anything else, and should be viewed as trivial, or even positive in light-hearted or humorous manner.

Do you really think it would have been appropriate for him to have lost the leadership or his political career over this?

Whether Buswell is a “lout” who has brought on “assassinations” within the WA Libs, as Dickie suggests, is another thing entirely.

Incidentally Bronwyn, what ever happened to our discussion at http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=7207#111606 which was instigated by yourself and continued for some time, only to die well before its natural end? Too late now to continue with it. It’s closed.

Waxing lyrically, humor it is! But not in the style of Whitlam nor Fraser's fabled missing collection, nether is it a middle class snigger, black humor or snide contempt, not even a snickering knife in the back. It's regrettable boyhood humor now recognised by troy the man who now has manhoods responsibilities. Fair Dinkum Australians will forgive you Troy, but the faithless pretenders with another agenda won't forgive or forget or in fact apologise themselves as they see their own mistakes in you past actions and thereby cant bring themselves to admit their own foolish follies.

Is this the name of a new species of fish?Can it be BBQ'd,fried or just be laid down to rest?

We know that WA has too many white pointers on the beach,that are consumating our carnal flesh.However,can a "Chair Sniffer" stop a "Bra Snapper" from consuming our attention.

"Do you really think it would have been appropriate for him to have lost the leadership or his political career over this?"

Yes I do. I'll turn the question around. Do you think a grown man who can stoop to something as puerile as this has the calibre to make a good political leader? How could anyone entrust leadership to someone who shows such poor judgement and exercises such lack of control?

"Incidentally Bronwyn, what ever happened to our discussion at http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=7207#111606 which was instigated by yourself and continued for some time, only to die well before its natural end? Too late now to continue with it. It’s closed."

Yes, I'm sorry I didn't get back to that thread. You said you were going away so I left it for a few days and then decided it was too late to pick it up again. Besides I wasn't too worried about the discussion being unfinished. I'm sure we'll end up having the same debate again somewhere along the line and find ourselves going around in the same old circles!

*How could anyone entrust leadership to someone who shows such poor judgement and exercises such lack of control?*

Well lets take a look at Bill Clinton. Perhaps not a guy who
made the best decisions when it came to whom he slept with,
he never showed much control either lol. But certainly a
great politician in a global sense.

The American public used your kind of criteria for passing
judgement and landed up choosing George Bush as prez.
Wise decision according to you?

CJ and Ginx are right Julie is having fun , just review her/his post history but gee so am I!
