....she's achieved a great deal legislatively, to be ignored.

Ar Lexi, there you go again, to you, it's all about the passing of legislation that matters most, but to the rest of us, it's about how that legislation is implemented, and this will go down in history as hers, and her parties biggest failure.

If you want proof, I would suggest almost $400 billion in less than six years should be suffice,

Incompitent is now an under statement I am afraid.

In feminist eyes woman can't be incompetent just a victim. That rotton Abbott!

Dear o sung wu, rehctub, shadow minister, runner,

I hope that I haven't left anyone out.

Anyway, -

To all you gentlemen Thank You for your patience
and understanding and listening to my opinion.
I guess I do come across rather strongly at times
as my family keeps telling me. BTW - they're all
Liberal voters (I'm the black sheep).

But I can't help it. I have a few concerns. Putting
it mildly. As Kevin Rudd pointed out on the ABC last
night - Mr Abbott keeps telling us he's going to
"Stop the Boats," by sending them back to Indonesia.
Well, how can he do that when Indonesia has made it
quite clear that this is unacceptable. They won't have
a bar of it. Is it really a good idea to antagonise
a country with such a huge population (eight times the
population of Australia) who's right on our door-step?
Indonesia is a Muslim country.
That's just one concern.
There are so many others.

I don't want to go down the path of privatisation - where
government serves Big Business and ordinary people are
left to fend for themselves. I get the feeling that Mr Abbott
believes that it's a choice between looking after the
economy and looking after the people who make the economy
work. That's not what creates lasting prosperity and it's
not who we are. I don't want to see cuts and austerity.

I won't carry on any further.
I've had my say and I shall leave you to continue
with yours.

Emily's listers are not man-haters. Why do you believe that rubbish? They are women getting together to improve the lot for women, for support and friendship.

You don't seem to have a problem with men doing it over the years, why do you treat women with thinly veiled contempt.

I think the message is if you are a LNP supporter you can ignore the lies of the LNP or the attempt to avoid answering questions on policy or the ridiculousness of 'turn back the boats' even when Indonesia has said it won't support it. The fact that WorkChoices was not even take to an election.

This is such partisan nonsense in this thread. Call out all sides of politics on their lies, obfuscations and dead policies. Otherwise we are all part of the problem.

There can be no end other than "The End" and I fear the end is nigh.
