Yep your stop on. Imo always been a front for ALP- only thing is believe it or not only 'one' of them knows it.


Forrest Gumpp

We’re wondering if OLO should start a collection thread for any fellow OLO users. If it turns out none of our OLO posters were affected (which we all hope, not) were effected, it could be sent to Red Cross.
Perhaps GY would do it. What are your thoughts pls. Plus everybody else on this.

(Now considering you have gone off topic) and while your here .You led us to think you were looking into duel ids
It doesn’t look like GY is going to do anything.
So where does that leave us all in your opinion-

*PALE, no sorry I back out with this*
Belly
Excuse me, ‘you’ raised it
By backing legging it now, it doesn’t leave much room for credibility.

Surely those people you represent, would like to think you would stand up and argue, their position a bit better than that.


The great work done by AMIEU over many years and why we have all supported them for many years I am happy to discuss.
Foxy`s big on ALP perhaps she might help to answer pls.?

Belly, why are your answers always insults made personally when you can’t answer simple questions.

I note that is standard right through this thread by ALP supporters.

BTW the X Federal Leader of a union is a both work and personal friend so I know quite a bit about union concerns.

My question was in such hard times ahead why can’t each man/ woman supply their own plastic gloves pants boots sunscreen.

As individuals we can all cope with a few dollars but load that onto companies by the hundreds and it really adds up.

For that matter even in good times. I just don’t understand why others would someone else to buy their clothes gloves.

Or why ALP supporters feel they should.?

PALE&IF: << it doesn’t leave much room for credibility >>

Unlike PALE&IF's endless rants, that invariably leave voluminous room for some kind of credibility.

I think Wendy Lewthwaite should stand for preselection for the Liberal Party (or the idiotic LNP) in a Gold Coast electorate.

That would be a great test of PALE&IF's credibility.

Dear Belly,

This is the best that I could come
up with, under such short notice, I hope it'll
do:

"Julie Bishop's not real cool,
Julia Gillard's no one's fool,
But of all the sheila's that you'd like to meet,
Jennifer Hawkins is hard to beat!"

Miss Universe at that!

Dear Forrest Gumpp,

The rhyme about Mandy and Christine - memory? (hardly,
before my time), or a link? Nope. It actually came out
of a text book on children's literature - which I thought
was apt for CJ. as he doesn't like Maggie Thatcher.

As for your Monty Python reference - Yes, dear heart,
I always try to look on the Bright Side of Life!
The film is one of my favourites!

Dear PALE&IF,

I'd be happy to answer your question (or questions), if I
knew what it is that you want to know.

Examinator “English pride if nothing else is reactionary and anachronistic.”

Oh that we should all live a life filled with a sense of pride and purpose.

I wonder what sort of small mind, soulless spirit, bereft of character, finds contentment in sneering at the pride other people have in their history?

I suppose, someone who has an ancestry devoid of anything to take pride in, an ancestry which has only managed to issue forth the bilious vomit of envy.

As for the Falklands, surrendering the homeland of 400 or 40 million people to a despot (Argentinean or otherwise) would be the cowardly path of appeasement.

Chamberlain appeased Hitler when he stood back and did nothing about the German invasion of Austria.

And appeasement did Chamberlain no good, nor the people of Poland and nor the other nations of Europe. …

Pontificating on the malignantly contrived errors of someone who has the backbone to stand up to despots (rather than take the appeasers easy course), suggests you have neither the intellectual insight nor knowledge of history to appreciate the nature of real politics.

Such weak willed cowardice might work for you but it does not convince me. Although it probably finds favour with other malcontents as they , grapple with realisation of their own manifest insignificance.

Like Margaret said

“I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.”

Although being gummed by a snail or other inconsequential invertebrate could hardly be described in terms of “an attack is particularly wounding”

Belly it occurs to me when you suggest

“That support for Thatcher has to be a front her own party dumped her.”

After 15 years as leader of UK Conservative Party’

Hawke 1983-1991
Keating 1991-1996
Beazley 1996-2001
Crean 2001-2003
Latham 2003-2005
Krudd 2005 to date


Nothing close to 15 years

that makes her several times the best of any contemporary Aussie Labor party boss

and that speaks volumes for Margaret Thatcher success versus the sub-standard offerings of Australian Labor Party.

Margaret Thatcher - puke.

<< I wonder what sort of small mind, soulless spirit, bereft of character, finds contentment in sneering at the pride other people have in their history? >>

Yes, I've often wondered why Col Rouge loves to sink the boot into the history of his adopted country's Indigenous people.

I guess it's because he has a small mind and is bereft of character.

Why do we import these twats?

Can anyone direct me to where Belly has "insulted" PALE? Or is that PALE's understanding of a difference of opinion?

Belly, it is fortunate that unions have been around to ensure the safe working conditions that we are able to insist on now. The only reason, in my experience, that employers put money into OH&S is to minimise their risk management and workers' compensation expenditure. It is rarely because they care particularly for the welfare of the worker. And the items Belly mentioned (protective equipment), PALE, are really quite minimal in the broader scheme of things, and these days are usually contained in Awards, legislation or other industrial instruments. You really should inform yourself better if you want to argue the toss with someone of Belly's experience.

Yabby, where did I say that I supported rorts in the waterfront? Or militancy in any particular form? I basically said that it was a time in my life that I have good memories about. I also believe that putting armed guards with savage dogs in there was hardly to be recommended as a negotiation/conciliation process; in that context Peter Reith got everything he deserved. But you read what you want into that. Frankly, nothing would make me happier than to see farmers stopped from shipping live animals out of the country; in that context I wish the wharfies still wielded the power they did. In my experience when I worked there, the majority did a fair day's work for a fair day's pay - and that's the same as any workplace. But you probably don't have anything much to do with contemporary workplace practice or industrial relations, do you?
