Dear Poirot,

Again - the usual corrosive acids from the mouth
of OTB. He simply can't help himself.
Note also the usual tactics of references to
Totalitarianism (I wonder if he even knows what
that means). Next it will be the usual Fabians,
et cetera. That's all he's got. Same old, same old.
Nothing to knew to see or read. Yawn!

Ye gods, the ignorance of some Labor voters.

Gough Whitlam WAS president of the Fabian Society of Victoria. Of course with his mighty ego he could have supposed that the society was in fact gathered around him.

Australians have always had a suspicion of those who spruik one story up-front, but behind that are secretly sworn to serve another interest.

The leftist womyn's EMILY's Listers (Australia) are the same, they do not advertise their allegiance to the ideology of Emily's List and their undertaking to advance its interests and one another. Among other things that is called favouritism, but there are more harsh words for it.

Secret societies and secret deals - of course the public are right to wonder why they don't come out front and form the International Socialist Party, or the EMILY's Listers Party, or the X, Y, Z Faction Party.

The public can only speculate what interests, what lobbyists and what behind the scenes deals, some ages old, affect the decisions of Labor leaders. Faceless men and faceless womyn.

One thing is for sure though, 'Progressives' sure like to use that 'progressive' word, for them it is the secret handshake, "A nod is as good as a wink, we're all for International Socialism aren't we and behind us are the 'Wolves in Sheep's Clothing' directing our every effort'".

The majority of Australians have placed their bets on "Australia's Best PM", with little Jonny Howard already past the post by several leangths.

Meanwhile the progressive left is running a book on "Australia's Worst PM". Whitlam/Rudd/Gillard seem to qualify on the basis that they never won a second term and we're all flogged by the electorates. I seems that Australian's are not dumb at all.

Can't wait to see which one finally gets cheered as last past the post !

Foxy,

Indeed.....and note he loses points also in his latest offering for dragging out the "womyns" - and even more points for "EMILY's Listers".

Boring, boring, boring.....

Get a load of the dingbattery and total incompetence that reigns supreme with the latest LNP shemozzle:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-10-25/ama-criticises-australias-ebola-response-as-chaotic/5841878

"The Federal Government's response to the Ebola crisis has been chaotic, the Australian Medical Association (AMA) says.

AMA president Professor Brian Owler said the Government was keeping Australians in the dark about their plans and medical professionals wanted a coherent plan to tackle the crisis in West Africa and at home, in case Ebola spreads.

The Federal Health Department this week said that there were about 20 caseworkers trained to care for potential Ebola patients.

But Professor Owler said neither the AMA nor the chief health officer knew who they were or what sort of Ebola training they were being given.

"It's not the AUSMAT (Australian Medical Assistance) teams that you would expect would be trained to do this work," Professor Owler said.

"Who are these people? If anything is going to be irresponsible it would be a last-minute announcement about people who are ill-equipped or ill-trained to go and do this dangerous work".

He has also called on the Government to announce what it is going to do to help tackle the "humanitarian crisis" overseas and what the plans are if a potentially infected person arrives in Australia."

Do Nuttin' Dutton...does nuttin'.

I suppose we should sit back and enjoy the show.....we'd have to go a long way and pay big money to see such incompetence rolled out under the guise of "government".

Dear Poirot,

It will be interesting indeed to see how history
will judge what's currently happening in our political
arena and which labels apply to whom. It's always
sadly been the case in this country that the choices
we've had were between those who couldn't learn from
the past and those who couldn't stop living in it.
And then along came Gough Whitlam.

As for OTB and his usual labelling and ranting
- two words aptly apply:

"So what?"

‘morning Poirot,

I’m sure that any response to this comment will, just like Foxy, be to offer a “thank you” for all that attention, it won’t be meant of course. Then there will be more of the same squawking, ranting, platitudes, feigned kindness, socialized facts, links to progressive media and blogs, all followed by even more rhetoric.

I can say this with confidence because there is nothing left in the locker except more of the same.

There has been an increase in the public exposure of progressives in the last 12 months and I’ve done my fair share of this. One thing progressives hate most is public exposure. Judging by some of the comments here, the number of people who really do understand progressives is now growing.

Just for the record I again define the adopted “benign” term progressives to mean Communists, Marxists, Greens, Deep Greens, Socialists, anarchists, Fabians etc. Basically those who inherently do not feel comfortable with capitalism or democracy.

Democracy is often claimed to be supported of course, but only for the purpose of asserting that those who are actually democratic, don’t know how to apply democracy properly and should leave it to progressives !

Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome is a hallmark. This is because the entire world in which progressives exist is founded upon rhetoric and, in most cases it is borrowed from the “self referential network”. As a direct consequence of this the arts of critical thinking, self examination, logic, reason and rationality have been lost. QED, more and more rhetoric must be obtained from the network, this “more of the same” results in an exponential decline in both relevance and credibility.

This explains progressive frustration, squawking and ranting. Not to mention the propensity for pointing the finger at others over the things for which they are also guilty, that I think is called hypocrisy?

It is truly delightful to see you and your fellow progressives trying to deal with an issue you can’t even see, let alone respond to.

Long may your rhetoric echo in the darkness.
