Penny Wong is every bit as self serving as Clive Palmer. Penny Wong is just as arrogant and even more condescending. I can't stand her.

'Typical example of fundy christian misogyny from OLOs resident extremist runner.

I see Mikk only 'progressives ' and Isalmist are allowed an opinion in your warped eyes

'Minister Penny Wong had enough class '

no Susie just cunning enough to know that Labour needs the wrecker. I would call it gutless.

'Penny Wong is every bit as self serving as Clive Palmer'

well said Hippie

All politicians are self serving by nature Runner, but this fact was not what you were alluding to was it?
The fact she is an Asian female politician who supports gay marriage would have to put her in the worst category of politician for someone like you.

Luckily, you are well in the minority with the views on this exchange.
Palmer has been well and truly pilloried re his outburst, and has done himself huge political damage by showing us all his true identity.

I watched that episode of "Q and A," and I
must have missed what others got out of it.

I thought both Penny Wong was her usual intelligent,
well reasoned, self. And Clive Palmer was his usual
theatrical self. Which is what we've come to expect
from him. Like him or loathe him - he is entertaining.
Only time will tell how long Clive remains in politics.

We all interpret the same phenomenon in very different ways,
whether its a government's policies, or a TV program, people
tend to see things from a viewpoint of subjectivity.

It will be interesting to read further comments on how the
posters of this forum (those that watch "Q and A") interpreted
the panel's comments on Monday evening.

There have been many errors made by various politicians in
their speeches over the years - including those recently of
the treasurer and the PM. Clive Palmer is not the first or
the last to make this error.

America kill lots of there own people and innocent of anything people in other countries (drones) I am expecting Clive to point this out bet it won't happen.

Statistically in America now you are more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist.

Where are you now Clive?

Suse and Poirot,
I don't bother watching Q & A as it is hardly balanced. But I have read press articles about what Palmer said.

While his rant was such that you can go at him on any number of things, it could not be termed 'racist' as you both claim.

Now I have little time for the bloke and think him a fool but your criticism should be more accurate. I did not see anything I could term as racist.

To be critical of a persons conduct, a culture or religion is not being racist.

Suse, Pauline Hanson was before tribunals for racism on a number of occasions and in each and every case the charges were found wanting. so again your allegations are false.
