Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

Aw, shucks!

Dear SM,

Just to get back to your statement that you
felt Tony Abbott will be the best PM that
this country has had in decades.
Here's a link that may clarify things for you:

Evening to you LOUDMOUTH (Joe)...

And I'm whinging about the 'black dog' that keeps interfering with my life - what a feeble excuse and cop-out for my many inadequacies and weaknesses that apparently blot my character ?

By the sound of it you've not exactly enjoyed a cake walk yourself Joe with the loss of your dear wife...? But by all accounts you're honouring her memory by committing to paper her many achievements and other notable academic works she's produced during her too short a lifetime. You say even after a duration of five years you still miss her terribly, and it doesn't get any easier, despite all those many, well meaning reflections, those kind people keep on saying to you ?

The fact that you continue to transcribe those hundreds and hundreds of pages, honours her memory I believe, it's a fair indication of the love and devotion you have for her memory. Moreover it's a testament of her scholarship and immense knowledge of Aboriginal Affairs, that she's so adroitly accumulated over her short lifetime of learning. By her being honoured, by none other than Noel Pearson himself, probably the most influential person and spokesman on all things associated with Aboriginal matters. Actually, I've had the pleasure of meeting this extraordinary gentleman on several occasions over the years !

Sure you would miss her terribly Joe, but you too haven't let the grass grow under your own feet either ? Her passing seems to have motivated you to undertake an immense task of writing every single word and thought on the subject of early 'aboriginality'? In fact you've been steadfastly recording many of the early missionary reports ostensibly for a much larger and wider audience, for future times ?

As the yanks so quaintly put it, 'you're the man' Joe ! Please take real good care of yourself. They say 'time' is a great healer ? I don't really know who 'they' are ? Except 'they're' very frequently quoted eh ?

Thanks Joe.

Thanks to you, O Sung Wu, what you write is so comforting, even if it brings some tears.

I dips me lid to you, mate, keep shining.

Joe

...That is what cost him the leadership, & would stop them winning with him as leader

Yes hasbeen, that did cost him his leadership, however, it was by only ONE VOTE and, the voters as you mentioned had no say, as it was an in house vote.

For the record, I am not in favor of any carbon tax on generators, as they are only providing for us, the users.

So it is the user who should pay a tax, if any.

Lexi, there would not be one person in the country who wouldn't want exactly what you mention, but, the problem is, we have no money left.

More importantly, we did spend the money, hundreds of billions in fact, the trouble is, IT HAS BEEN WASTED.

So now we are trying to implement the likes of the NBN, Gonski and the NDIS all without money.

Now as for us wanting a surplus, I have two suggestions for you.

1. Go back through my posting history and you will see that I was always against a surplus, as I saw what was coming.

In fact, after the 07 election I said that with the uncertain times approaching, the last thing you want to do is attack IR laws, as this would lead to a loss in confidence.

Of cause, my mate Belly laughed at me.

I bet he's not laughing now, although I doubt he would admit it.

2. It was your beloved Mr Swan that wanted a surplus, you remember, AT ANY COST, so perhaps rather than preaching to us, you would be better served preaching to your beloved labor.

While you're there, perhaps you can find out why they wasted so much and achieved so little in return.

As I have said before, the people's experiment to switch to labor has been a very, very costly mistake, as here we are, in worse shape than we were, a bleak outlook and a 400 BILLION DOLLAR debt to boot.

What an appalling record they have achieved in less than six years.

Yet you still offer your unconditional support.

Unbelievable!

The thread has proved currently politics is the subject most want to talk about.
It too, if you look, shows just how many differing views we have, and that in our own biased ways, we do not let truth sway us.
First Anti I got it wrong, Gillard is still under investigation.
Yipee! my bias showing?
We know of this mornings polls.
Rechtub has the financial hick cups! dashing about with the we will all be ruined and broke stuff.
Calm down bloke, Howard knew the way, Abbott will tax us and cut services fill the pot and you will complain about that.
What stuns me, is the thought if Rudd left the house now Gillard could lift her polling.
Are we content to be that wrong?
Rudd actually, is being used by a host of yesterday,s men and women to wipe the blood from their hands and *to silly to think about*
Take the blame after the traumatic event come September instead of them.
They, by their dredging up this junk prove my party needs reforms.
For such an IQ test first step and new chain for their Dogs, if it leaves home the average IQ will drop 10 points in such homes.
Gillard may end in prison? I hear that song what a wonderful world, no early parole please!~

Belly, I doubt she'll go to jail, but I'm positive that the Victoria Police Major Fraud Squad are doing all they can to get her convicted of knowingly aiding the commission of the fraud against the AWU, Thiess, Fluor Daniel etc.

She set up the vehicle for that fraud, she gave the WA corporate affairs Commission fraudulent information to induce them to register that vehicle after they initially refused, she participated in the purchase of a house with the proceeds for her married boyfriend Wilson, she prepared and signed and backdated a power of attorney in Victoria for Blewitt to sign a couple of weeks later which was used to obtain a mortgage from Slater and Gordon to buy that property, she received cash from Wilson and had work done on her own house that was paid for out of AWU funds.

She's a fraudster and a liar who I believe has some serious mental and emotional issues. My guess is psychopathic personality disorder. She really believes she can do anything and get away with it and her only interest in other people is in how to use them. Her "feminism" and "socialism" are simply tools to manipulate others and to make herself appear acceptably socially motivated.

It is often mentioned that she is "charming" in person, which is a common trait of psychopaths. However, when she is speaking in public she is lost because she has no convictions of her own to guide her. Her "charm" is no more than a feeding back of the other person's reactions and when she can't see her audience she cannot do that, so she becomes wooden and emotionally flat.

She has never had a live-in relationship with a man (employees like Mathieson don't count), but has had several affairs with married men. For her the manipulation of people to do things that they wouldn't do otherwise is an end, not a means.

The sooner she is gone, the better. whatever Abbott may be, he has genuine principles and a genuine interest in his social responsibilities. His religion is a sideshow politically.
