G'day again BELLY...

Thanks ol' man, I appreciate both you candour and your shrewd views.

The only thing that must not happen, never ever happen. Is Ms J. Gillard to continue to lead this country ! If that were to happen...
well God help us all.

Thanks again BELLY.

Hi Belly, I am neither labour nor liberal supporter as you know, but I was wondering why you think Julia has been so bad for the party?
Surely a Prime Minister can't make all the decisions in isolation? Doesn't she have to consult the other members of her cabinet?

I am still not totally convinced Labour can't marginally win the next election, given the bumbling leader the Liberals have in Tony.
If that man does end up as the next PM, then I sure hope he doesn't get to make ANY important decisions himself!

I think what has taken place in the NT senate seat is self serving, do not buy that anything is wrong with the great lady hand picked to fill the spot made vacant by the Lady with the Knife.
It says my party can not be trusted to endorse its own choice.
Be careful anti Labor posters, Lib/Nats do it too, and often.
My party needs reform, in this area right now.
And end to power brokers putting fellow scum bags in seats is over due.
Currently Representatives of membership should select the candidate.
Just a thought, why not reform the selection process, AG, after Gillard, my party will face reality, reform or stay out of power for decades.
What if every candidate for every seat, had to front ALL state members telling us why they want the seat and how they think.
We have voted on line once, a reform thing, and should be able to side step this HIJACKING.
A rule exists, it truly does, that you MUST BE A PARTY MEMBER TO STAND.
Gee I hope Gillard is not.
Do not mistake my humor for other than if I do not laugh I may cry.
This move INSULTS every member in the NT.
It too reminds my fellow travelers once in the Parliament you can forget those who put you there knife, others at will.

Faulkner Belly, now that really frightens me. If he is the best you have, I'm afraid Labor is nothing but finished.

This is the Hindmarsh Island man you're talking about isn't it? The bloke who wanted a court of law to accept a sealed envelope as evidence in a court case. The only reason for that was he knew the evidence was shonky, & could never stand being exposed to scrutiny.

I was amazed he was still in parliament after the next election. I reckoned trying to pervert the course of justice should have made him impossible to nominate.

I also thought it a little strange when everyone knew what had been done, that he & those involved in the "evidence" were never charged.

Sorry mate if a known liar, & cheat is your top choice, is it any wonder your lot are shot?

Suseonline I am not a casual observer, while nothing is more ex than an ex I am the same bloke who loved being a Union official, and party stalwart.
But in both tasks I was/am high maintenance, unwilling to miss use the word solidarity to hide my true thoughts.
Harsh but true, the male population of this country, majority of, dislike her as much as me, will unlike me, never vote for her.
Rudd,s removal was a LIE, he needed pulling up, yes, but this woman, by her whole history, wanted the job, and stole it.
Her backers must confront the damage they have inflicted on my party.
Gillard held hands with other total FAILURES, Crean and the THING Latham.
Giving her a roll in dumping big Kim.
I admit to being pleased in the end Rudd took over.
Kevin Rudd gave us hope, promise, Gillard gave us certain defeat.

Alison Nampitjinpa Anderson - Aboriginal politician who left the Labor Party in 2009 and joined the NT Country Liberals in 2011. Tonight she stated on the 7.30 Report "Labor are false friends to the Indigenous people" and expressed her disgust at recruiting Nova. Julia is false - always was and always will be.

Warren Mundine (Indigenous)and ex President of the ALP who left the Labor Party in November 2012 because it is "no longer the party I joined". Many Labor elders are disillusioned with where Labor has gone.
