False advertising, false statements, false promises, these are against the law for businesses ... why not for politicians? Why should they have a right to deceive people into voting for them? Look at all the promises Rudd made, and Howard before him, and Keating before him, and Hawke before him .... billions of dollars worth of lies. Yet all of these politicians have their snouts in the trough, retire on big pensions. What is the best way to ordinary people can get compensation from politicians personally for this?

'What is the best way to ordinary people can get compensation from politicians personally for this?'

Everyone over 18 gets to vote. How about running yourself? All men and women of all parties have a corruptible nature. Unfortunately many are to self righteous in their own eyes to realize. Jo Bjelke seemed like an angel compared with this lot. The problem is they are to blind to see it.

One way we could clean things up a little is to break all ties with the corrupt UN which would stop some of our current crop of pollies embracing abhorrent policies in order to appease one very corrupt organisation. If we could choose people who want to serve Australia instead of ruling it we would be a lot better off.

Dear runner,

Pray tell me why the UN is to be regarded as more corrupt than Australia and how on earth can you think Jo Bjelke was even worthy to shine this lots shoes as bad as they are? Or are you being facetious?

To quote one of the biggest tellers of untruth Joe like that is a laugh.
The first two posts offer me this advice, some people think that only those who think as they do are right.
Such people never truly understand most things.
A charge could be leveled at any person that what they say is untrue.
But our threads author has given us evidence in his post that his very much making false statements.

Peter van Onselen had a very good piece on Rudd in the Australian this morning, comparing Rudd's weakness and indecision, as well as the massive failures of public administration such as the BER, the "stimulus", the insulation debacle, the ETS farce, even the unfair dismissal backdown to Whitlam's preiod in Government.

Rudd and his bunch of Grimacing Grrrls simply lack sufficient balls between them to manage anything much more complex than a photo shoot, let alone to call a double dissolution election at the failure of the Senate to pass his flagship policy. Rudd is there to be there; power without glory...

Rudd:

The Howard you have when you are not having a Howard.

Quelle surprise!
