My dear Lexi,

I'm sorry to say, but you're proving my point.

I don't care about Abbott - if I did, I would look for a thread about him and get stuck in. But this one isn't it.

What are the issues here ? Please, no more thimble-and-pea tricks.

Love,

Joe

Just guessing, but I think the thread, maybe I its starter am wrong? about the 17 years it took to hurl this at?
Gillard, can she cook? doubt it, been trying to find her a job, soon.
Abbott lets no one talk on any issue he is not controlling.
Now just maybe, unsure, it is not wrong to highlight the 17 year old theme, as Loudmouth has, but no charges no crime yet?
Lexi, how I would like to reference another Black hole.
But Gentleman that I am I must not.
Ignore? good advice consider.

Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

This isn't a question of attitude, but of
perception. And as I've stated in the past
we've seen that people in different walks of
life may interpret the same phenomenon -
whether it is a religious doctrine, a prime
minister's policies, et cetera - in very different
ways. People tend to see things from a viewpoint
of subjectivity, an interpretation based on
personal values and experiences, as well as
political inclinations and of course inevitably,
we're all guilty of some measure of bias - the
tendency, often unconscious, to interpret things
according to one's own values.

When someone repeatedly peddles untrue statements
and ideas as factual and true on this forum - I
feel obliged to respond. As for Mr Abbott? He has
had the longest free kick in postwar Australian
politics, and it is time that the media should
scrutinise his behaviour and utterances.

As for Julia Gillard - of course she needs to give
a full account of her past. But this must apply to
all who cast stones in Parliament. I believe she's
answered all questions that journalists put to her
during her press conference. However, some people
will never be satisfied and perhaps if these people
travel back far enough, they'll find something.
The PM might have got a detention for in high school.

Good on the PM for fighting back. Veteran political
commentator Alan Ramsay was right when he said any
woman will have a very hard road in Canberra -
especially with the calibre of politicians that
dwell there currently.

Cheers.

I am rather pleased with I think is some balance in my contributions to this subject.
My side of politics has received a whack or two from me on the way.
I continue, having in mind reports the more conservative of us, base views on fear, that they too can find no wrong in the side they suport actions.
Lets look again at this subject.
Why has it taken 17 years to re emerge?
Why no convictions, at all?
Clearly my printed view here is that the two blokes at least, should be in prison.
They betrayed every one, but mostly the unionists they claimed the funds existed for.
Do we see that the union bought this matter to police.
Do we understand the fund had nothing to do with the union.
Have many,as I have dealt with union linked solicitors and seen no paper work done? its a day to day event.
Can it just be this re emergence is the result of dirty digging.
With Gillard ASSURED of defeat, why ignore the current things that urge action to swim in the filth yet again.
