Poirot,

A little rich coming from you too.

Just a reminder that this thread was initially about the left's hysterical furore over trivial perceptions of sexism against Juliar, and subsequent deafening silence over blatant sexism against someone that is not their darling.

The reality is that the left whingers couldn't care rocks about sexism except to feign outrage against the opposition. Next time they try to play the sexism card, they will be lacking any credibility.

Rather than carry on this useless debate as to which party, Labor or Liberal, has the biggest lying conniving politicians. What we should all realise is, that on the Richter Scale of corrupt political liars they both rate a 10!
Those of you who voted Liberal and Labor last election you were not to know that you were voting for parties of lying scumbags, and that you had terribly misguided in trusting such dishonest dirtballs. Please excuse my French, but there is no other way to describe these scuzzbags, but, to put it mildly, as scunbags and dirtballs. But, and it's a big but... redemption is at hand, and its painless, come next election simply vote for noble people with honesty and integrity, vote Green of course.
I hear you ALL say, "Naturally I want to vote Green. but will there by a local Green candidate for me" Do not despair, there will be a friendly Green candidates in every electorate, and in the Senate in every State as well. I think we are going to do rather well, firstly in New South Wales next March, then in the Federal election after that, can't wait.

paul1405: come next election simply vote for noble people with honesty and integrity, vote Green of course.

Paul, Paul, Paul. Vote Green? You have got to be kidding. You gave the LNP & ALP 10 for lying. That I agree with. But the Greens? I'd give a 10+++++, plus another 10+++++ for being just plain loony.

SM,

Don't pull a Pyne and attempt to foist your faux sensibilities on me...not after the dregs of your last post to Nhoj.

Here you are bleating your moral rectitude about Ms Credlin, while slamming a fellow poster with this:

"You are a shameless troll. Probably stuck in a dead end job alternating between watching porn and trolling. For god's sake get a life."

Simply because you were frustrated in your debate.

Harking back to your first paragraph of this thread.

"....her deeply personal struggle to fall pregnant dragged into the public domain to score cheap parliamentary points."

On this point, my sympathy for Ms Cedlin is tempered by the knowledge that she herself "dragged her fertility battles into the public domain to score cheap political points."

That interview was given willingly - by Credlin - primarily to plug Tony Abbott.

"And then last year, she ended up learning more than she ever expected to about what Tony Abbott really thinks about all of these difficult, complex issues when she endured the personal heartbreak of multiple rounds of IVF treatment and no baby.

That's when Abbott surprised even her - by offering to keep her secrets and help store her fertility drugs in his office bar fridge."

"Credlin kept ticking off her concerns during her conversation with Abbott that day in 2010. "I also heard you are against contraception," she said. Abbott replied this was "ridiculous" as he was the father of teenage girls."

"Abbott insisted this was wrong too: " I am not against IVF, I am passionate for IVF. Anything that helps families is a good thing, it's not a bad thing." Credlin left the conversation surprised that Abbott's position on IVF, abortion and contraception wasn't as black and white as she had assumed. Why did she think otherwise? A big reason is Abbott's own words."

"As the next federal election looms, Team Abbott has wheeled out a succession of women to endorse his female-friendly credentials to assure the voting public he's not the anti-woman ogre they were led to believe."

Yar...well...

Jayb, can I take it from your above comment that you are still wavering a little when come to deciding to VOTE GREEN?
I think I have almost got Shadow on side, just needs a slight push to the left. And me olde' sparing partner OTB, defiantly a closet Green. As for Hassy, Butch and Indy, judging by their Green friendly posts, defiantly on side, probably life members of the party. LOL

Remember a couple of weeks ago the Chinese said they would like the northern parts of au to be a special zone, where they could bring in their own labour for projects.
The coalition has released it’s green paper on plans for the top end.
They said there was constitutional issues involved with the outlining.
Abbott today said China is no threat.
Makes you wonder what Abbott has been talking to the Chinese about, that we don’t know about.
