Rehctub, thanks for the informative post, but I can't see the part about how you donated all your income to charity.

Does that mean you don't feel connected to the community?

Hasbeen, thanks for your kind comments on the previous page. I haven't been called anything as complimentary as "deluded" in ages.

Lexi, one can only imagine the additional damage Gillard would have cause, had Abbott not stood in her way, as one simply has to look at labor's track record, not of passing legislation, for which you are so so proud of, but of implementing same..

The best part about the past three odd years is that not only has Gillard hung herself, but she has been able to drag those so called independents with her, a move that I am grateful for.

As I've said often, they were simply given enough rope, and they used it.

Just a pitty it cost us $400 BILLION along the way.

Belly, sorry for being il informed mate, but it's a talent il have to live with I guess.

Then you wrote this...
*If I and others feel betrayed are we to remain silent*? to do what our tormentors never did? put party first*
SOLIDARITY IS A LIE, ONE THAT BETRAYS BY IGNORING WRONGS, DOES GREAT DAMAGE TO MY PARTY.

Yet you will still offer your support.

I am afraid old mate that YOUR labor party is dead, so it's time you moved on.

Shame about the tall poppie bit Anti.

Yes, I did do quite well, most of the time.

Along the way I created in excess of 300 jobs, educated two great kids, built an assett base that HOPEFULLY will mean my wife and I won't be a burden on the tax payer and, I donated in excess of a quarter of a million dollars to worthwhile local events over my 23 odd years.

That's not counting the half million or so that WAS STOLEN along the way, as is unfortunately often the case with cash businesses.

Sorry for working hard and taking risks!

Anti yes we both know some men do not want any woman to lead us in politics.
That may well be not nice, but it is true, so we must in polling see it.
My thoughts on Gillard are not about her sex.
I met her twice and she left me cold.
Here in OLO I tripped over my own boots, in saying while I never trusted he, FORGIVE! she would govern well, got that wrong.
Unions? mate they held the knife! they necked Rudd, and the ALP.
They, even now, support the lass.
Tomorrow, at 9am unless my party is totally insane, Rudd will be returned.
Such has Gillard/Dillards inability to sell her message, Rudd will tower above Abbott in just weeks.
Then?
Just maybe Turnbull will roll Abbott.
But we will get a verbal boot in the bottom for our views but it will be a long time before another woman leads this country.

This says it all.

You are a good person the way you work so hard and bring up 2 kids and build Airport Hangers for Airlines Company. As well as making up all those jobs for other people also Rehctub!

You say you had a lot of money stolen from you when you were in business? You did tell the police? Though the police are rotten in Queensland, and you would not have got your money returned to you for sure. I really do admire you though for all those many jobs and opportunities you provided for 300 people amazing really.
