FWA is an independent of govt; body.

? It is ? !

Yeh, your right SM, I'm not even sure I share my own optimism. Sad isn't it?

What happenned to Australians? when did we lose the sense of fair play, optimism, joy of life, fun, skepticism and hey, it's only life?

Now it's all drudge, misery, apocolyptic outcomes,whinging, Australia owes me a living, when are you going to pay for me to do nothing and if you don't agree with me you should be put down?

579, take another tablet, get a life, get an education, learn to read, learn comprehension, love your mother/father, toss out your malignant inhibitions, stop feeding of other peoples opinions, develop your own perspectives and most of all, find yourself.

You are the saddest specimen on OLO, desperate for recognition, desperate for love, acknowledgement, recognition and engagement. What has the world done to you to make you so disengaged? If my generation was in any way responsible I’m truly sorry. Get over it, move on and get with the program.

Well you have a crowd Shadow Minister, and in truth I can find no reason for the exclusion!
How about that!
Seems silly to me defending my side no matter what.
Unlike the Gentle man from Menzies house and your self.
OUG no,did not read the links, so not sure what it is all about.
Rechtub! never hard to find a confrontation with me after a post like that!
I am not defending myself, let your description be for me.
Wearing the bib and brace over alls gum boots and straw hat at the time?
Glass houses champ! ok

Dear Belly, for once, just for once, can you please, please, stick with the issues?

I know for sure that there is a real intellect behind your quasi intellectual posts. You insist in your self deprecating posts that you present as simply “I’m just an old style trade unionist”, a “lollypop man”, a “rusted on Union (but not necessarily ALP) supporter”. But this is a “sitting on the fence” excuse for “I don’t have a clue as to whom or what you are now”, or “I can’t find my way out of this impasse”.

At one stage in your life you knew EXACTLY who and what you were. Where have your dedicated, unconditional and ideological values gone? Everything you post is a compromise of all the things you previously held precious. Where has the real Belly gone?

Stop pretending. You see everything as a form of confrontation, a class war, an ideological conflict. Belly, it is none of these; it is just life’s experiences reflected in attitude and values. Why have you lost these values?

There is nothing I detest more than those who compromise their values in order to maintain self or public image. You are compromising everything you hold dear, every value you have ever promoted and lovingly supported. Why do you do this? You do this because that which you have always supported is shi**ing on you?

I’m sorry to be the one to remind you of your decline, but it needs to be said. The time for reality is NOW. I will always respect, support and endorse your right to be passionate for your beliefs, but you need to get behind your own passion otherwise the support you enjoy from others will dissipate.

Spin doc I am what I am, and unlikely to ever think as much of you, as you do.
A spin Doctor you like Abbott, try as hard as possible to move the target/subject after the dart leaves the hand.
Rest assured I can refrain from shifting truth, and from telling it, to such as you.
Our last verbal confrontation lead to you insulting in a child like way and stamping your feet on the way out.
Do not defame ALP voters with your view we are all MANUAL LABORERS.
If my IQ is not 5 points above yours, I should be wandering the paddock over the road feeding on grass with the other cattle.
SM I can only say no union HSU or any, no judge ,should be free to commit a crime in any court.
So in effect,as my first post said I agree.
