Foxy,

Thanks for your explanation as to why you usually get details wrong.

Poirot,

A little rich coming from you.

P.S. Abbott's legacy already exceeds both Krudd and Juliar together.

Dear Shadow Minister,

There you go. You've again proven my point.
You've translated what you've read into what you
could understand. Onya!

As for Mr Abbott? - according to an American
think-tank - he has exceeded all of the leaders
in the Western World by a mile. (In incomptetence). ;-)
Ah, the things we do for fame!

Au contraire, SM....I couldn't begin to approach your OLO mantle as King of the Kiddie Names.

"P.S. Abbott's legacy already exceeds both Krudd and Juliar together."

For ineptitude...yes....

SR,

I missed your diatribe on how MM at just over 5' is a giant. Perhaps for Hobbits, but when she leaves the Shire she is short, fat and ugly. However, if you had missed my previous posts you would have seen the definition of poison dwarf which describes her to a T.

(A selfish, untrustworthy, deeply obnoxious or evil person of diminutive size, whose ostensibly non threatening appearance allows them to fulfil their predisposition for causing unprovoked pain and suffering)

"(A selfish, untrustworthy, deeply obnoxious or evil person of diminutive size, whose ostensibly non threatening appearance allows them to fulfil their predisposition for causing unprovoked pain and suffering)"

Great stuff, SM.

On the strength of that, I think we can promote you to Grade 4!

Shadow, a bit rich calling Lee Rhiannon an "arch racist", I clearly recall the days when a young John Howard was an ardent supporter of the all white South African Springboks Rugby tour of Australia. I also recall the contentment of your parties founder 'Pig Iron' Bob Menzies in seeing Aboriginal people denied citizenship and forced to live in rusted humpies on the outskirts of country towns. In my view The Liberal Party has a long tradition of racists in their ranks, I just named two!
