Hey, welcome back mon amie!

Yeah, could add media to that list as well - bloody blinkered.

Anyone else care to add to the list?

Merci beaucoup, mon ami,

Ah yes, the media.....

As the intrepid pack of pollies and minders were cascading down the stairs, it seemed the only real threat was their being photographed into oblivion.

Truth still has apart to play,if we let it.
Abbott said nothing wrong, until he turned this in to a weapon.
The two ALP and Union fools are of no worth.
Those who did this, and the flag burning,are less than idiots.
Australia is unimpressed and damage will remain for a decade because of this.
Police failed, twice at least, first in not knowing the protesters started to come, and in haveing to drag the leaders out.
Truth, unloved but needed, those targeting Abbott, a man of little worth,on this issue, do more harm than good.
Last Gillard was handled badly but she should know, long ago, she lost any chance, even if right, to win Australians over.

Just a thought! I wonder what would have happened had the French settled Australia before the British. Then again if we had not stopped the japanese occupying Australia, there certainly would not be an aboriginal Tent Embassy. Come to think of it there would be no Aborigines (or would be aborigines) Get down on your bended Knees and thank providence that the British were first here.
It is gutless politics that has caused all the problem.
To all the realist aborigines, and there are a lot of them, I love you all.

Lexi,

With all due respect, the NM has been described In the SMH as fabricating its stories, and if you chose to quote them, then expect to be taken as seriously as they are. As for the Lowry institute, you once quoted an opinion piece in a magazine produced by the Lowry institute, which does not represent the opinion of anyone at the institute itself. Articles from SMH or the Age are few and far between.

As for your comment on the police, that was juvenile and lacking in logic. Perhaps you can support your claim that they are not well trained, maybe quoting MAD magazine?

Shadow Minister the NM is as described in the SMH, not far away in its policy's from the greens.
It and most of us, fail to understand this simple truth.
Minority views, party's, are so because few want them.
It never gained Labor a single vote, being Abbott like.
Constructing events and story's to show a different light, other than honesty.
Polling today points to the ALP being in the deepest pit of its life, in part because of perceptions it is too close to greens.
And without doubt GILLARD haveing said that, this unloved Lady, still leads Tony Abbott as preferred PM.
Could it be other than his constructing issues, bending truth, is turning voters away from him personally.
You gloat ,and inform us all on the rare occasion he gets his nose in front, as both charge in the wrong direction, for this country.
Any comment on why he is behind?
