I have good news!
For some.
The remoteness from reality, from what is taking place, is on show here.
Debating with Shadow Minister, Bronwyn? is of no worth.
Rechtub and Runner try but are as confused by the issue as any.
Lexi is quite right,even the toilet wall press gives totally different reports 360 degrees of difference about current state of affairs.
Enjoy SM,or is it, truly is it, Bronny.

Belly,

Firing blanks again?

Yet again Belly simply tries to slag me off without contributing anything. What I have said and referred to is available in the press and news, and instead of attempting to contribute anything, Belly's vacuous attack is evidence of a pitiful lack of ammunition or ideas.

IT's hard to comment on something that has no story, I think SM is just sensationalizing as best he can. Too quick of the mark, best get some reasons or plans first. We do not know the story.

Dear Shadow Minister,

For somebody who one would assume to be intelligent
as a qualified engineer which would require logical
thought by the very nature of the profession - it
should be obvious that the current government being
a coalition of various Independents and the Greens
on the issue of gambling reform are obliged to negotiate
with all the members of its minority government to reach
an outcome acceptable to all members concerned.

Therefore the PM will announce to the media the outcome
of that decision when it has been reached and not before.
Only then will it go to Parliament - for the final vote.

Blaming the PM for something that is as yet undetermined
is not in the best interests of the Opposition Party - and
makes them appear yet again irrational. Your contribution
to their desperate baying does no favours to your credibility
either.

Lexi and 579,

If there is no story, then why is every paper running with it?
Why have all Labor MPs suddenly gone from the pre Slipper position where Labor was absolutely committed to the mandatory commitment to refusing to comment on any commitment?
Why has Wilkie's position been wavering after meeting Juliar?

One does not have to be a rocket scientist to recognize that Juliar is putting huge pressure on Wilkie to change his position now that his vote is not essential to retaining power.

But both of you are as usual spouting the Labor party political line where logic is not required only allegiance.

SM I beg to differ based on nothing but your own words, here and in other threads, my words flatter you.
Show me some evidence any at all, Gillard has even made up her mind what she intends.
Then, be brave, given your stated view, *the idea of mandatory pre notice* is stupid.
Think about this.
You are intensely, abusing her, for maybe, holding views not unlike yours.
Sir are you intent on slander EVEN IF THE ACTIONS ARE ONES YOU SUPPORT
What SM is you point?
