So now it's not only "stupid" or "morons" - it's "unfit mentality"
poirot,
I'll make it easy for you, prove me wrong.

Dear Individual,

It's up to you to provide proof for your
sweeping generalisations and statements.
Not anyone else - as any good debater knows.

Hi there POIROT...

You must now realise how intellectually unequipped I am to answer the myriad of broken promises allegedly made by Messrs Abbott and Hockey ?
So I'll not even try ? I will accept he's probably broken some, and before he's done, he'll need to modify or break even more ?

But so have many of the Labour leaders down through time, they ALL break their electoral promises, whether or not they're Labour or the LNP. Something I've learnt over time POIROT, whenever we're told something, we should first look at the motive of the person imparting that information. Secondly, we need to closely examine the character and position of that informant, and then attach their motive to the equation, in order that we my discover the truth ?

Ms Sally McMANUS, who is, the Secretary of the 'Australian Services Union' of NSW and the ACT has or had, produced a picture of the PM Tony ABBOTT on some kind of 'brochure' bearing a distinct similarity to that of the TV Series 'Breaking Bad' with the last word 'Bad' being substituted with the word 'Promises' ? Very amusing and quirky indeed ?

Sadly POIROT, the moral standards and calibre of this sort of posturing, has significantly diminished much of the pivotal gravitas of Ms McMANUS's message.

So in my humble view, far from convincing me of the dreadful deeds of Abbott and ors., I believe Ms McMANUS's motives are inordinately clear. Destroy Tony ABBOTT by any means possible ? That being the case, I fear greatly for the future of our federal Parliament ?

Many thanks POIROT.

Excellent!

Let's all sit here and lament the lying scoundrel - Sheesh that someone may have the temerity to document his lies and misrepresentations,...in that case we must fear for the future of our Federal parliament.

(I take it you didn't bother reading the IPA's wishlist...and comparing it with Abbott's agenda...eerily alike)

The more I think about it, if reasonable people like you are sucked in by this cretinous regime, the more I'll enjoy sitting on the sidelines while they mince our decency, our fortunes and our social democracy - and saying "I told you so".

Good luck (you'll need it)

G'day there ONTHEBEACH...

I think I recall you telling me you do quite a bit of voluntary work, and that's really great ! About a hundred years ago, I did a bit of counselling at the Wayside Chapel at Kings X. I learnt an enormous amount about 'people'. But like all good things it came to an abrupt halt, essentially my return to shift work, and the fact that another volunteer there found out I was with the coppers ? I was stationed at Parramatta, and lived at Maroubra, so travelling became an issue too.

Since those days I've not done any volunteering at all ? I remember you had an extraordinarily good knowledge of Aussie boxing too ONTHEBEACH ? Were you ever a pug yourself by chance ? I did in the Army (cruiserweight or lt.heavy), the annual Inter-Service boxing team.

Strangely (DON'T tell HASBEEN) the Navy always seem to win overall, the two years I was in the squad anyway, the Army second, and the RAAF (naturally) last ! I loved it, absolutely loved it ! Still the professional ranks were much much tougher to navigate through, when men were impoverished or indigent they fought as if it really mattered ! Sparred quite a bit at the Burwood PBC, that's it though.

The lady to whom you refer, Peta CREDLIN, I gather she's on the PM's staff ? As such, why would it prove necessary to verbally castigate and attack her good fame and character ? Similarly Kevin RUDD'S family and associates too ? Hasn't politics got filthy eh ONTHEBEACH, and why ? After all, we're all Australians, sure we have differing views and opinions, we're all still civilised, aren't we ? It's little wonder there's so much violence in the community, when young, impressionable people, see how others, who should no better, behave without any apparent censure ? Though, I do have my theories, but I think it's inappropriate, to espouse my deluded suppositions or assumptions just now, another time perhaps ?

Take care ONTHEBEACH, and your good family too !

Cheers...O Sung Wu.

Hi (again) POIROT...

I not sure I'm reasonable, perhaps I'm just plain stupid, I really don't know ? I'm reminded of a saying a Chinese friend of mine likes repeating; 'there's your side, my side, and the truth' ?

May I ask, do you think for a moment, you might just be wrong ? Not wrong in everything you say, just some of the things perhaps ? I realise you say he's a real 'blockhead'. Yet he's a Rhodes Scholar, surely that must count for something I should think ?

To be perfectly honest with you. I don't place much credibility on anything a professional union leader states, particularly on matters of federal politics ? They all have agendas, above and beyond that of caring for their membership ?

Do you believe me when I say that POIROT ? Obviously, I can't reveal anything about a specific matter ? Other then to remind certain individuals, there are those Union Leader's who couldn't withstand, any sort of close examination, of either their private affairs, or their fiduciary duties as high profile Unionist ? The veracity of this remark may well become apparent, in the fullness of time ?

POIROT, I'm very sorry, that I either confound you, with my rank stupidity, or I annoy you, because of the exact same reason ? However, I can only admit conclusively, that I have nothing but good intentions.
