Parrot,

Thanks for acknowledging that Labor speakers are also extremely biased.

The difference in ratios can be attributed to Labor MPs acting like rabid chimpanzees.

What's the break-up where an Opposition without policies sets out to deliberately disrupt, particularly where they focus on the Speaker?

Calliong them schoolboys is an insult to students, few of whom would ever act up like the fools seen in the federal Parliament. Shame!

The public are not the easily-led 'punters'(sic) with deficient memories that Shorten and others imagine them to be.

The public are very conscious of the handsome remuneration politicians get, irrespective of how they perform in the House.

Let me help you there, SM...

The "extraordinary" difference can be attributed to the shameless bias, lack of scruples and command of the present Speaker.

Here's how she conducts herself when her idea of entitlement is challenged:

"Clayton Long was preparing the business class cabin for take-off when rumour began to spread. Something was wrong; a passenger was causing a stir at the gate.

It was the year 2000, or thereabouts. Long was a Qantas flight attendant for 27 years, so it's not surprising he can't remember the precise date of this particular Perth to Sydney flight. But he's adamant he remembers how it unfolded.

"We were told that the plane was going to be delayed," Long says. "We weren't told the exact reason at the time. It stretched out a little bit. Then we were told it was Bronwyn Bishop causing the problem."

The way Long tells it, the delay stretched on for 10 minutes and then 20. Everyone else was on the plane and wanted to know: what the hell was going on?

"It was because she didn't get the seat that she prefers. She likes the front row of business class," Long says. "But business class was full with the exception of two seats. She was given the seat with no one next to her but she still wasn't happy."

After half an hour or so Bishop was finally coaxed on board, Long says. If she didn't take her assigned seat the plane would leave without her.

"She made her displeasure very clear when she got on to the aircraft," Long says.

Long was the senior attendant and his underlings were visibly scared of this formidable woman. He decided he'd give Bishop, then a Howard government minister, the best personal service he could in an effort to smooth things over.

It didn't go well.

"She wouldn't take anything. She was like a spoilt child," he says. "I just thought it was incredible. She's paid by the Australian taxpayer. To even get into her mind that she's entitled to a particular seat just floors me."

Yes Poirot, the old crow is well known for her dummy spits whenever she does not get her own way. She sees herself as top of the heap in the born to rule class.

Shadow, Lee might go to bed with a blow up Stalin doll, but Bronnie, Johnny and Tony got into bed with a real live Nazi, Lyenko Urbanchich.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/obituaries/ardent-nazi-took-liberal-to-extremes/2006/03/03/1141191845008.html

In 1986, NSW Labor minister Frank Walker informed parliament that (Liberal Party member) Urbanchich was a senior propagandist for the quisling government of Slovenia, during Nazi occupation in World War II. Walker added that Urbanchich was listed by the Yugoslav government as a war criminal.
Lyenko Urbanchich was a member of the Slovenian militia, the Domobrans during WWII, which worked hand-in-glove with the German occupiers. Urbanchich organised its first public procession on October 10. The Domobrans were directly under the command of an SS general and on Hitler's birthday, April 20, 1944, pledged allegiance to the "Führer". The NSW Liberal Party power broker Urbanchich as part of the Domobrans' secret intelligence, The Black Hand, committed cruel atrocities for the occupying Nazi's in the dead of night, leaving a black palm print at the scene of such atrocities.
Shadow you say Lee Rhiannon condoned atrocities, here is a powerful Liberal who actually committed them! What do you say about that?

Beach off into cloud cuckoo land, Did not Tony Abbott describe himself as the political love child of John Howard and Bronlyn Bishop, obviously he failed to mention the Nazi Lyenko Urbanchich was there at the time of conception giving the union his political blessing.
You continually show your ignorance of the Greens and politics in general, I must have hit the hail on the head, you are situated up a tree, somewhere in the back blocks of Queensland, correct! Shadow is simply in denial about the hard right Liberal faction the "Uglies", you sir simply did not know they existed, too concerned with The Greens and Fabians. You would make a great member of the "Uglies" their policies are right up your ally

Parrot,

Thanks for acknowledging the shameless bias of Harry Jenkins.

Paul,

Thanks for acknowledging the atrocities condoned by Lee Rhiannon and the pedogreen Karel Salomon. It is nice to realise that every green has a personal deviance.

SM,

Lol!...we know you're struggling when you resort to your special armoury of kiddie names.

Keep up the good work!
