You mirror my thoughts exactly!
Foxy,
Bull ! You'd never get yourself to vote against the Left, stop trying to fool us, we're not Labor voters.

haha!...individual,

"I was told long ago to never argue with a mug,..."

Upon reading the first part of your sentence, I was already composing my congratulations to G'dayBruce for escaping your favourite epithet.....

However, it was not to be....

As you turned the corner and headed for the straight, still not a "moron" in sight...right up to the finishing post, in fact...and then right at the last minute....

"....well haven't learnt my lesson but do draw the line at arguing with selfish morons."

Oh well...

Quite so, yvonne...and keeping in mind that just under half of the debt bequeathed to the Howard Govt was left over from the Frazer era - when Howard was Treasurer.

(I must say, it's rather uplifting to have another intelligent woman contributing regularly to OLO...we've suffered a dearth these past few years...Welcome!)

Dear Individual,

Actually, I have voted for the Liberals in the past
and come from a Liberal-voting family.
I also have voted Liberal in the state elections.

You should not make assumptions about people
you don't really know. Otherwise we just may have to
use your favourite descriptive word -
on you.

Foxy has got you there, individual. Foxy disputes that "If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it is a duck".

She is correct of course. It is no duck. It is a Fox pretending to be a duck.

All up though, I'm enjoying this forum, even with the diversity of opinions there's precious little of the personal abuse that wrecks so many others, thank you all.
Agreeing to disagree and still being able to conduct an intelligent discussion is the mark of a civilised and rational mind, and there appears to be a majority thereof herein, this very moon-cycle I shall sacrifice a gilded choko to the Great Wombat in gratitude!
