SM,

You're an apologist for the Abbott govt.

Abbott is an apologist for Rajapaksa's regime.

And now an abetter, it seems.

Simple really......

"The Prime Minister's silence on human rights abuses in Sri Lanka was inexcusable complicity, but this is nothing less than collaboration and it is abhorrent," Greens leader Christine Milne said....."

She's right.

Abbotts type of governance has got to be causing talk behind the scenes.

Come on now Shadow Minister, you listen to Poirot, she knows everything.

I'm sure she remembers when those nice Tamils had a plan to bomb the Oz cricket team. Nothing personal of course, they only wanted the publicity.

I'm sure she remembers when they were No2 bombers on the world, much more competent than the IRA, & more prolific.

Of course you realise we need this type of immigrant. How the hell else are we to gain full bombing competence, if we don't have these able teachers here to train us.

So you wake up to yourself, & get on the "bad Abbott" bandwagon, or we might be denied a new influx of these lovely people.

Dear Poirot,

There are people who are known as "stealthies"
according to a recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald.
They're people who obviously place a low priority on
transparency and accountability of government.

We're told that, "Mr Abbott, whose attack-dog politics
created the perfect chaotic conditions for government by stealth
to flourish - now presents himself as Mr Stealthy."

"If he can keep the government process operating silently
he knows he will retain support from the stealthy...
He needs to keep politics off the front page and the TV news
which is where 3 in 4 Australians get their main political
information... He needs new Speaker Bronwyn Bishop to keep a
lid on Question Time to avoid disturbing the peace..."

Have a read of the link. It's very interesting and
explains the new government's behaviour and that of Mr Abbott:

cont'd ...

oops typing error. I should have stated that Mr
Abbott now tries to present himself as "Mr Stability."

Thanks, Foxy.

"There are clear similarities between the stealthy and the so-called ''Howard battlers'' who seem to have morphed into Abbott's ''anyone but Labor'' rump who just want politicians to shut up and get on with it. Certainly it helps explain why most people voted for Abbott on September 7..."

I've mentioned elsewhere our good friends who are staunch Liberal voters. When asked about something pertaining to this govt, our friend said that he wasn't interested in what Abbott was doing - just that the other mob had been voted out.

Seems to fit the above description perfectly.
