Poirot>> Sterling job mate....nothing like repeating Slipper's comments to grab a little leverage in debate. Repeating odium attributed to someone else, makes all the difference, eh?

P, I was responding to the odium of misogyny slung at Abbott. A man who supposedly hates his daughters, his wife and his PA who he spends more time with than any one male in his political life. The truth is the only way to respond to propaganda and all I said was reported and attributed in the media.

Poirot>> happily including his wife in your tale.<<

Just surmising P, and so I should after the Williamsons family HSU larceny. Who else but his wife could get their hands on those items over and over again….then replaces them without Thompson knowing.

OJ Simpson was acquitted in a criminal court but convicted in a civil claim…..Thompson is the same…guilty by the stupidity and incredulity of blaming it on a sinsister sexual boogie man, who comes and goes (no pun intended). Ask his brother in corruption Michael Williamson, in fact ask Williamsons whole family, it looks like they all stole or profited from the money stolen from the long suffering HSU rank and file.

Yes P, Thompson is a gem, a zirconium.

579,

I'm sure Julia has quite good nous for politics...for me though I think that is the reason why I find her government so offensive (save perhaps for the "minimum" effort regards AGW)....I can't see much of what I'd always imagined to be Labor values in the current party.

John Passant referred to Labor as "neo-liberal Labor" (I agree)

That would complement the non-liberal/neo-liberal Liberals.

Aren't we lucky : )

579>> Gillard give pensioners an all time giant rise.<<

Yeah sport, and a Carbon Tax.....no Carbon Tax, no pensioner ALL TIME GIANT sweetener. But will the pension go up as the Carbon Tax sends our BILLIONS to overseas banks. 579 you may be feeble but the old are not, they dispise Gillard because they have never seen a worse self serving PM in their lifetime, simple as that.

Gillard was right....pensioners don't vote for this Labor/ Green/Independant/directionless rabble.

sonofgloin,

You say, ask Williamson...don't forget to ask Kathy Jackson n'all.

579>> A very impressive polatition is Julia. If Abbott was half a man he would recognize his failings, and step aside., before he gets pushed.<<

Very impessive indeed. Gillard was Education minister then PM. We spent $20 BILLION on the BER and hundreds of millions on computers.

Last month an international scorecard for primary students had our kids as literate as the Albanians. We came last out of all the English speaking nations.....LAST.....VERY IMPRESSIVE.

Poirot>> You say, ask Williamson...don't forget to ask Kathy Jackson n'all.<<

Jackson is not my girl, the way Kristina Kerscher Keneally was Obeid's and the other Sussex Street criminals girl.

Jackson shut up until it did not suit her. But criminal allegations have not been proffered to my knowledge.
