It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in Shadow Minister's Bible
It ain 't necessarily so!

"Rianon, a left of left fool is far from the first to pass wind in the greens Combi van."
Belly. Those that live in glass houses should not throw stones. I would much prefer to ride around in a combi van, than the black merier that so many Labor politicians prefer. You never did answer my question. Is the ALP's largest branch The Long Bay branch. Well when they cart Thomson off to the big house he wont be lonely he'll be so busy shacking hands with old Labor mates. How is Milton Orkopoulos doing these days, him and Thomson should share the same cell.
Labor people want to stop their crying and blaming everyone else for the pathetic state they find their party in and have a look at the 'talent' on show Carr, Shorten, Rudd and Gillard the list goes on. The Labor party couldn't organist a chook raffle (one of them would run off with the prize) let along a government.

SM I'm not sucking up, your party is full of wombats, with the number one wombat being the Mad Monk, gee that's a n insult to wombats. BUT I agree with your post about Windsor and Oakshott, no one who voted for them ever expected they would back Labor. It would be as bad as my party saying they are forming a coalition with the Mad Katter Party. I did like the way Bob was man enough to say his parties homo adds were wrong, good on him.

Obviously your ignoring the fact SM, that the Independents found themselves in a position of having to make a decision for the nations voters whom had voted indecisively. 50/50 in fact. And thankfully they chose a known policy path as opposed to the unknown path of allowing Abbott the Prime Ministership.

Abbott said he would "do anything" to become PM and it was all a bit much for them SM. And that was it from Tony. Perhaps he, (TA) should have tried less too buy their vote, having at the same time not clearly enunciated his policies during the election, except for presenting a set of bodgy election costings audited by sham accountants. Who would you trust SM ?.

Windsor I recall said it was the NBN that swayed his decision. "Do it once, do it right and do it with fibre" he said, or words to that effect. Clearly a policy based decision in the case of Windsor. He'll go down in history as a man of principle, no matter what his fate at the next election SM, and not even you can take that away from him. Same could be said of Wilke, and while I'm at it, even Rob Oakeshot has done a serviceable job. Lets not forget the standout and principled independent senator, Nick Xenophon.

Dear Paul1405,

I recently saw an interview with Rob Oakeshott
on television where Mr Oakeshott was asked why
he ended up supporting Labor instead of the
Opposition. He explained that when he spoke to
Julia Gillard - she took him seriously and tried
her best to persuade him as to why he should give
his support to her party. In contrast when he was
shown into Mr Abbott's office at the time - Mr Abbott
had his feet up on his desk - and he kept them there
the entire time - and all Rob Oakeshott remembers
is the brand name on the soles of Mr Abbott's
shoes. Mr Abbott obviously did not take the entire matter
seriously - until it was too late of course.

Lexi,

It could have been worse for Oakeshott, The Mad Monk could have had his shoes off and wearing just his socks. Give new meaning to the stinking Liberal Party. By the way did Oakeshott say if the Mad Monk was wearing big oversized red shoes, after all he is a clown. I thought I saw TA down at my local McDonald's the other day, but it was only Ronald!

SM you said "Belly,You love putting words in my mouth." You should be thankful to Belly, when he's putting words in your mouth he's doing you a favour, it stops you putting your foot in your mouth.
Sorry SM that's the best I can do tonight. LOL
