Banjo still the fact is even those events, got unveiled by trogs in his own party, facts bloke.
At that time the right of his party was in full flight, they kicked the hell out of him.
Now it to me at least is just silly how this thread has developed.
I can not believe the anti male rubbish being shown here, female too for that matter.
And the anti politician stuff is madness.
I am the one here with an extremely poor formal education, but you would not guess it from some posts.
Males by our very nature seek sex, females do too.
We say we will always be faithful to one partner, but often are not.
That is wrong but not evil.
Some who kick Della have an active sex life, including betrayal of partner, yes it is far more common than we will admit.
Yabby, if he is wrong is saying what most men think, me too.
How can we not face facts? being single again, forever this time, I get propositioned, by females, married women who haunt men, it happens hence Payton place very near here.
but is it important in how we work, who we are, why is Della a victim.
My mate Julie can you look me in the eye and say you never knew a woman like that, never knew one who tried to lay her Friends husbands all of them?
See I am not chauvinist not supporting unfaithful behavior but telling it like it is.
people who love only one another stay loyal for life are better for it and happy people, but many have skeletons in the closet.
remember that experiment people thinking they shocked others when pressing a button.
This thread supports the view people hurt people without reason and evidence.

Good point Benk, Thank you for agreeing to a long term relationship and fighting against what you were programmed to do. It must feel like this:

Belly:”My mate Julie can you look me in the eye and say you never knew a woman like that, never knew one who tried to lay her Friends husbands all of them?”

Morning Belly baby, nah I never did – honest. I don’t have many grow up friends doing what I do in life. But of course they are out there along with the bad husbands.

Without facts or personal knowledge of who we are discussing I imagine we always have to concede that there is nothing to base any judgements on.

“And the anti politician stuff is madness.” Belly old chap – look unto thyself for I suspect you’ll find that a lot of these rumours and snide remarks about politicians from the right side of ALP politics are started by the left (and vice versa). Then there are the published media reports and biographies on the political vaudeville which prevails:

1. Highlights of the Latham Diaries include;

- Richard Butler; has not resigned as Governor of Tasmania but was sacked for getting pissed at the Royal wedding in Denmark.

- Kevin Rudd; treacherous, nasty piece of work, addicted to the media and leaking. A junior minister in government, at best.

- Kim Beazley; indecent, dirty dog, stands for nothing and does nothing.

- Bob McMullan; combover.

- Bob Carr; A grade asshole

Take Amanda Vanstone who has been described as "junker guts" in Latham's book, and as "having the hairiest box ever seen on a woman" by Wayne Swan. Hmmmmm!

2. Though Malcolm Fraser managed to make headlines in 1986 by wandering around a Memphis hotel lobby in a dazed state with his trousers missing. He’d met a lady at the bar the night before who had drugged and robbed him. It was not reported whether he actually got lucky before passing out.

3. Bob Hawke managed to combine the positions of Prime Minister of Australia and a place in the Guinness Book of Records for beer drinking. In 1955 he drank 2.5 pints of beer in 11 seconds at University College, Oxford. He is also remembered for crying in public, dumping his missus of 40 years and declaring that by 1990 no Australian child will live in poverty

4. Len Kiely became minister for the environment in the Northern Territory in November 2007, despite protests from the politically correct crowd. He had just spent a year on the back bench for telling a 62 year old female security guard that he had a very long tongue and could make her a very happy woman, while he was pissed on taxpayer funded alcohol. Sixty two? Is nothing sacred?

contd.....

5. At least Billy Snedden (aged 60) died on the “job” in a joint at the Cross but sometime during the 70s, he’d over-indulged slightly in the XXXX, and proceeded thus: "Well, first of all I'd like to thank the good ladies of the branch here for providing such a scrumptious repast, and old Jack here for fixing up the hall, and Fred for getting us the sound system and his lovely wife for the flowers, and well, I'm sure there are other people I've forgotten, but who gives a f&&k." Not all the plum jam north of the Tweed could compensate.

6. In 2004 Paul Keating thought that dinner at a friend's house was a suitable time and place to announce to his wife that she’d passed her use-by-date!

7. And here's the pièce de résistance. Queensland Liberal Peter Slipper slipped out of the parliamentary chamber for a quick visit to the toilet on December 12, 2002 . However, after finishing in there he was unable to open the door to return to the chamber. He unsuccessfully pushed and pulled the door but it would not move!

Fortunately he had his mobile phone on him and he rang fellow Liberal MP Peter Lindsay to organize a rescue party to save him from his entrapment. Four security guards left Australia's government in the parliamentary chamber unprotected and vulnerable to terrorist attack and raced to the toilets to rescue the imprisoned politician.

They did not take long to resolve the situation and calmly slid open the toilet door. He was in the toilet for the disabled which has a sliding door! Speaker Neil Andrew said MPs should sharpen their toilet know-how in time for the Christmas party period.

In 2008 Slipper’s name appeared again in the media when he was alleged to have made a mobile phone call from an Aussie navy ship in the Red Sea that gave away their position and the next mission had to be abandoned. Costly but hilarious!

Married women hitting on you Belly? My you must be a horny looking critter!

Quoting Latham is a bit low, he was a phantom, his persona was a front.
Briefly I followed him on his bus trips, before that I read and re read his web Page.
Looked deeply into his first speech in Parliament.
Yes I had hopes, was a follower of the idea that once was Latham.
Either he conned me and the world, or lost contact with reality the day he took over the party, with the help of Simon Crean, thanks for nothing bloke.
I have knowledge of the people I write about in this thread.
If others did a different slant would be given.
Let s think about our extended famillys, we can find much not to talk about, bad drunks bad behavior.
Not in any way different than Della Bosca.
But we stand on our hill pelting stones in self righteous anger.
I found Sneddons death too did not need to be front page news, just maybe written by journalists who got very drunk most days and visited Lady's of the night on the way home too.

“Quoting Latham is a bit low………but we stand on our hill pelting stones in self righteous anger.”

Belly – That sounds like double standards to me since you pelt stones too and recently you declared: “Bloke this forum is , well I think it is, a place of free speech, a place we can, with respect state our opinions. Now most of us, you and I for sure, do not hide what we think.”

Is free speech only permitted a la Belly style? Latham published a book yet you say quoting the contents of his book is “a bit low?” Come come Belly my boy. It's not about you and my blood line of pollies learnt long before entering parliament that whatever they say, whatever they do will remain on the public record and up for debate.

For what it’s worth Belly, I don't vote Liberal but I certainly will not condone Labor’s ongoing Calabrian style thuggery, corruption and greed while one-eyed Labor Party leaders and their apparatchiks remain in denial.
