Fox,

The quote was not mine but another posters, as you are fully aware.

Nonetheless it did provide an opportunity to broaden the discussion. If you reckon it all applies to you then so be it I guess. Whatever floats your boat.

BTT

otb,

The quote may not have been yours, however you
chose to use it nevertheless. And then carried on
in your usual style.

As I said - WFYB!

Yep Bill ensured workers received less conditions than they would of under work choices while being pocketing the donations/bribe. Typical Labour hyprocrisy. Friend of teachers/nurses, Yeah!

Shorten had his couple of days before the Abbott inspired anti union RC, and in my opinion has come up short! Never been a Shorten fan and even less of a fan of his right wing union the AWU. I recall a few verbal clashes with that long gone forumite Belly over his beloved AWU. Shorten's $40,000 oversight opens a can of worms, given that the money was "donated" directly from capital who's interests are opposed to the very workers Shorten claims to represent.
A big noise within the Labor Party, Bob Hogg, the former ALP national secretary has called on Shorten to resign. If that was to be the case who within the parliamentary Labor Party could take over and put up a creditable fight against the Abbott government? Given the lackluster bunch in government now that normally should be easy for the Labor Party, but it is not. My vote would go to Penny Wong but I am not a party member.

Meeow

Paul1405, "My vote would go to Penny Wong but I am not a party member"

LOL, sly move.

Remembering Wong as the unqualified, limp Minister for Finance in the Gillard and Rudd Labor governments.

As a Green you would be looking forward to Labor collapsing from within. Heh, heh, how many Grrls did it take to destroy Don's Democrats, or to nobble Labor in the States and federally?

Maybe Penny Wong as the Minister for Spin and Indignation, who always has a set script to follow.
