Na Poirot, I'd never make it with the green left.

I can't spin fast enough, or lie with a straight face.

I'm not much good at ripping off rank & file union members either, so I'm just not suited for it.

LOL, one minute Poirot and SteeleRedux have got Captain Hastie directly above the theatre of war seemingly watching the hands being cut off, and therefore they indicate Capt Hastie is an accessory to the alleged mutilation.

Next Poi and Steel infer helicopters are so high and far away they are safe from ground fire and only crash due to mechanical failure, the latter that is probably claimed by allies to stop the enemy getting credit.

This thread is about Turnbull and I think also about the opposition leader. So why not ask what Turnbull and Shorten would do about the Hastie situation, about the suggestions being bandied about against Hastie here on this thread, dirt about him being selected for the Liberal seat?

With Bin Ladin they took the whole body.

I hope Turnbull gives Hastie a medal for having to cope with all the un-Australian criticism.

I only asked SteeleRedux the question. I did not say it as fact, as you do with your simple mindedness ad hom, Poirot.

Poirot they don't need forensic teams or a lab to take fingerprints. They just need as many fingers as possible, palm prints too, and a clean dry place without being shot at, such as back at their base within a few hours.

Give Mr Hastie a break and respect.
And have a look at the question doog tried to ask, the sentence is cyber-broken up and I don't understand the question.

Anyway back on topic, maybe Turnbull will be the same as Abbott if the extreme right of the Liberal Party is still calling the shots.

What about Julie Bishop as PM? Or Anthony Albanese?

JF Aus,

Please link to any post where Poirot cites:

".....Captain Hastie directly above the theatre of war seemingly watching the hands being cut off..."

"Next Poi and Steel infer helicopters are so high and far away they are safe from ground fire and only crash due to mechanical failure, the latter that is probably claimed by allies to stop the enemy getting credit."

Please link to the post where Poirot infers:

"...helicopters are so high and far away they are safe from ground fire and only crash due to mechanical failure..."

More baloney from a poster who doesn't care what he says, regardless of whether or not it has any veracity.

"Poirot they don't need forensic teams or a lab to take fingerprints. They just need as many fingers as possible, palm prints too, and a clean dry place without being shot at, such as back at their base within a few hours."

Yes they do if they're dealing with dead bodies or body parts - and as I mentioned, goodness knows what condition those body parts would be in once they've been dragged through the turmoil of war in outback Afghanistan.

"Anyway back on topic, maybe Turnbull will be the same as Abbott if the extreme right of the Liberal Party is still calling the shots."

Turnbull will only get up if the "extreme right" lose control...and seeing that Rupert is wining and dining Morrison of late, it doesn't look like they're going to give up without a fight.

Abbott and his inept government continues to take a hiding in the polls. The latest 'Newspoll' of 1700 voters has Labor leading the Coalition 54/46. Given the long term disastrous polls, plus Abbott's continuing personal low popularity rating with voters, a loss in the Canning by-election would be the final nail in the coffin for Abbott and Turnbull would make his move sooner rather than later. The Liberals controlling faction, the extreme right 'Uglies', would have little option other than to let the hated Turnbull take the reins. Turnbull would move quickly to redirect Liberal policy on a number of fronts. Any failure by Turnbull would see the extreme right white anting him in favor of Morrison.

It's amazing how the subject moved from who should be PM to arguing the toss about whether or not a Liberal candidate was involved in the removal of the paws of some Islamic terrorist animals - you know, those people who whip off the heads of men, women and children at the drop of a hat; the same creeps who burn people alive in cages.

He could have minced the creatures up, and fed them to the dogs for all I care. Perhaps if some of the whingers and whiners here had taken part in deadly combat against people of the sort Captain Hastie was up against, they might shut their gobs and show some respect for our brave soldiery.

Dear Hasbeen,

You kind of have a point there, when the Liberals steal it is often off their own, and politely described as 'overspending', that is until it gets just too obscene to ignore.

Quote;

A SENIOR Abbott government senator and Tasmania's future premier knew about Damien Mantach's overspending before he was appointed the Liberals' Victorian state director. MR Mantach had to repay $47,981 to the party's Tasmanian branch after his time as state director, before he went on to steal more than $1.5 million over four years from the Victorian Liberals.

Tasmanian Premier Will Hodgman - who was then opposition leader - said he and Senator Eric Abetz were told in 2008 that Mr Mantach had to repay the money when he left the state. "I was spoken to and briefed ... and appropriately so, as was Senator Abetz as the leader in the federal parliament," Mr Hodgman told the parliament on Tuesday.

"We were briefed by the senior members of the state executive as to Mr Mantach incurring a liability, that liability being repaid and Mr Mantach's employment concluding.

Isn't 'overspending' such a gentrified euphemism.

Dear ttbn,

What of gob full of ignorant jingoistic garbage.

The Taliban are not ISIS and as nasty as they are their body count in Afghanistan is a mere shadow of that inflicted by Western powers.

There have been instances of Taliban beheading prisoners but they are very few and nothing of them beheading “woman and children at a drop of a hat”.

On the rare occasion beheadings do take place the Taliban leadership at least acknowledge them as “contradictory to rules of engagement”.
