Sorry tapp but it must be said.
Having been on the end of your barbed insults against me,Newcastle, refer to your posts here, union, ALP, I highlight it is you who give evidence why your letters are rejected.
Haveing sought to give birth to your own party, standing for the last federal election now so you say this one why no policy's?
At your finger tips surely are your reasons for standing for office?
Can it be you are just away drawing them up?
You have put your self out there in the front line condemning but is that all there is?
I have no intention of forgetting my question and the timing of any answer is interesting to me.

Humor is a big part of my life, I like a grin even a full on giggle.
But I am trying not to be cruel here.
A good look at TAPPS posts, all of them, will confirm it once stood for a party.
Well named it was The Australian Peoples Party.
Early posts pointed to links to a web page and some policy's could be found.
Information tapp posted includes that his father was a trade unionist, I think he said official.
But constantly unions/ALP/me/Newcastle got verbal floggings.
If we asked just about any of us to put policy's on the table that we supported most would be able to.
Having once ran a party or promoted the birth of one tapp appears unable to put his on the table.
But very able to throw stones at others.
Every time Stewart you post I think you should remember policy's surely drove you in to politics?

Belly... I think he's gawn, fled the scene, scarpered, flown the coup, vanished, disappeared, evaporated, given up.... stop kicking the poor man when he's down.

On yers.

Yes I know he has packed his bags and left.
Without answering questions.
I however have learned much, our history gos back some time.
I once champed at the bit to let the Alpha male run free, found I lost more augments than I won that way.
And gave joy to the opponent.
In every post from any poster we can if we wish see bias.
But I try not to let it rule my posts.
I Have great concerns over the direction of my party ,federal party.
Questions that need answers.
But as it looks increasingly true that media will impose Abbott on us, inflict great wounds to our country's unity Abbott frightens me more, and it is charges without substance, without believable answers that may change this government.
Bill Shorten run free mate this country needs you.

It may be I am talking in to a hollow drum.
The thread has run its course but yet it needs this ending.
TAPP Stuart, has signed of his posts with independent for Charlton.
Yet he did not run, in any seat in Newcastle or any place.
Greg Combet the target of much wrath from Stewart was the only Hunter valley, [home of the ALP] Member to increase his majority.
Free speech, I value it as a must for Democracy, honesty , accountability, we must defend every ones freedom to speak.
And in my view that freedom is threatened by unproven slanders.
By letting our need to be heard blind us to the big picture .
Stuart I wish you well , know you are Happy with Labors problems at least it gives you some joy.

Belly... I'm still here mate.

I do hope that the entire ALP machine and parliamentary plonkers alike, learn something from this very shoddy episode in the life of the labour movement.

Your national secretary should be taken out and shot (metaphorically of course)and Arbibb should have his appendages cut off (literally, preferably) and thrown from the Senate at the next opportunity.

I've just listened to a fantastic tirade from Iemma, on Fran Kelly. He is absolutely spot-on.

I have yet another letter from a Gillard minister. It is total crap, and full of 'fibs' if not outright lies.

I am about to write back, since this minister is still in place, and ask her if she might have learned something from the weekend.

One hopes so, because throughout the Rudd era, ministerial letters were complete and total rubbish.

Not just that I did not agree with the response, but they were patently wrong, and contained bare-faced lies.

I do hope the new Windsor team bring some genuine reforms to that hopeless place.

It is, of course, no different when the Coalition is snorting from the ATO trough, and failing the nation.

Your faith in Shorten is totally unfounded Belly. The AWU created much of the problem by thrusting Rudd forward, allowing him to operate like another Adolf within caucus, and then foisting that useless Gillard onto the nation.

Gillard is arguably as bad a minister as you could wish onto your opponents.

She is as bad as Julie Bishop, but in a different way...she certainly sounds more intelligent, but her output was a disaster in education, and within IR.

Only someone blown away with having a 'female PM' would overlook Gillards multi-failures.
