Me was think'n. Why doesn't the ALP rope in Eddie Obeid from NSW. A true financial guru, can turn $1M into $100m, that deficit problem would be turned into a surplus in no time with Steady Eddie at the helm, to speed up the process Eddie could bring along Ian Mcdonald, could make him Minister for Every Thing, Macca will cut through red tape, gets thing approved, no problem.

I was wo wondering whether Rob Oakshoot or Peter Slipper might get a run. They are in favour of open and accountable Government.

Thank you. Your civility and good sense always impress.

runner's dry humour (see above) is delightful. It nearly resulted in a keyboard disaster with my hot java.

Runner>> Thank God for that Susie. In actual fact I would call it backward and regressive in choosing Wong. May be if we keep being 'forward thinkers ' we could have a polygamist or some other destructive family role model<<

R, it’s not logical to exclude Wong because she is a dyke. Homosexuals did not make a lifestyle choice, bisexuals did, and there a load of politicians out there masquerading as hetro’s and getting the moral kudos.

Penny Wong is a smart articulate union lawyer who has been cloistered in the university socialist and then the wider union movement from day one. She has little real understanding of what the plebs are about other than what she reads in the papers. Penny is new Labor, educated up to their back teeth and full of the belief that they know what is best for the underlings they rule.

What is best for Penny is what she regurgitates from international agendas such as AGW. Penny is a Fabian like Bob Carr and for that reason alone she is not on our side….she is an internationalist….and we need a nationalist.

Dear SOG,

I've just read your post where you seemed to
infer that being a "Fabian," was a bad thing
for a politician (in the case of Penny Wong).

I wasn't quite sure what a "Fabian" was
and had to look it up. If you think that
being a "Fabian," is somehow a "shadowy"
thing to be, then what about being a "Freemason?"
Is that also a bad thing?

Because many of our
former Prime Ministers, celebrities, sportsmen,
were Freemasons and many pollies and others still are.
From John Howard, Tony Abbot, Malcolm Turnbull, Kim
Beasley, and the list goes on. BTW - Tony Blair,
Vladimir Putin, Mikhail Gorbachev, Ariel Sharon
are also Freemasons - and the list goes on.
Who's an "internationalist" and "who's a nationalist?"
And why do we need one and not the other? Can't a person
be a nationalist as well as seeing the bigger picture
of the necessity of global interaction as well?

thanks for your post. Are you sure that John Howard, Tony Abbot, Malcolm Turnbull, Kim Beasley are/were freemasons? I have not heard that before. I know there are a large number of men in high positions that are freemasons but wonder where you got your info on those you mentioned? Historically catholics and freemasons did not get along. In one Government Department I worked in it helped to be a Catholic but certainly not a freemason.

I was once accused of being a freemason could you believe. While it would not surprise me if some of the men you listed were/are freemasons at one stage a group of men were labelling every second person a freemason. I know many freemasons who are decent men but the beliefs of the freemasons is nothing short of demonic when you look at it closely. They refuse to pray in the name of Jesus and refer to the Great Architect of the Universe.
