Just another day, just another insult.
Or is it?
What do we want from Australian politics, is it to be the unaware who listen to or take up the ideas such as SM posts.
Is it my said to be bigotry in favor of the ALP.
A change, an earth quake in politics is coming, Abbott will fall, by his own hand over this weeks rubbish.
Gillard too will go, for past sins that do not involve a claim she deliberately lied.
Look deeply at this matter, think clearly, I am no supporter of our PM, NEVER WILL BE.
But see the lie put by a bitter man in the post above mine, I do not care if I am bared SHADOW MINISTER is no person to find openness and facts from.
Truth is this country's Parliament has become worse than awful worse than stupid and we are following here.
I want, truly to walk away from this thread, but my heart demands I do not leave the rubbish undefended.
I need a spell may take a while away from OLO.
But return only to read those posts that avoid even at 32 percent one in three Australians vote Labor first.
I wish the balanced and understanding posters from all sides of politics the very best see you in the future

Belly,

I am surprised that you are such a delicate flower, Considering that the barbs were aimed at the ALP and not yourself personally, and most of them have come from centre left newspapers.

Juliar had the choice of sticking to the principles for which the voters relied upon to vote, or cast her promises to the wind for convenience. Now she is ditching her support for the green bill as soon as the right wing power brokers that installed her raise a finger. In my opinion she completely lacks moral fibre.

As for yourself, you would appear to be the bitter old man, shamed by the party you love behaving in an abysmal fashion. Your unfailing bias against the coalition is without respite, and you cannot claim balance in any of these debates. This is only made worse by your complete inability to mount a reasoned defence of the ALP.

Do you know yourself why you support them, or is it something passed down to you from your parents like a religion?

It was never going to be an easy choice.
I liked OLO.
Have donated what I could to help.
And yes I know my views are not shared by many.
I tried, I really did, to stay away from conflicts.
But I can never bow to harsh, and what I truly think is unfair judgment of one side of politics.
Yes some, who get the blood running in me know very little about politics.
We are served by second rate leadership, on both sides, Abbott no less than Gillard.
After these years calling OLO home I think it is time to go.
I asked a question, got no answer ,the best answer, one day you not me, may find out who shadow minister is, his response to me here is one I doubt others would be allowed.
Tea party politics has this country by the throat.
I want no part of it.
I will find another forum, will not log out for a few days in case someone helps, but this is my last post here.
I leave the Field of verbal tennis to those who seem over whelming to think every thing Labor is evil.
Thank all for you company over the years I wish you all well
Belly, proud forever to stand for what I think is right.
PS
if SM is who I am thinking it would explain much
regards good by.

Something interesting to watch

Belly,

I've just noticed you've picked up stumps.
Sorry, can't allow that.

Whadaya mean letting Shadow Minister get under your skin like that? (You know he's an engineer with an MBA, don't you? - not a real dastardly politician.)

Anyway, he gets his jollies from posting anti-Labor rhetoric and being devastatingly clever by tweaking Julia's name (it keeps him off the streets).

So what do you say?
Well, you can't say anything unless you come back and balance the argument.

SM, I challenge you to give a link to the whole interview, not one line taken out of context.

Just as interesdting site.
