Welcome Juca, I hope you enjoy the forum. I like your banana joke!
Poirot "My point being that I can disagree with Labor policies, however, the tsunami of Coalition lies, deceit and right-wing policies are another matter."

Oh please! Labor were the biggest liars on the political planet when they were in power!
How soon you forget. All politicians lie, as you well know.
I don't like far right wing politics any more than you do, but I still prefer
Turnbull to Shorten, as I know the majority of other voters do.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one, as I can't handle OTB pretending he is standing up for Foxy and myself much longer...

Dear Juca,

You don't by any chance happen to be an engineer?

Yes, Hi Juca - hope you enjoy posting here.
Actually this is quite a coincidence. You're posting your first post here - and I'm probably posting my last!

Suse,

"Oh please! Labor were the biggest liars on the political planet when they were in power!
How soon you forget. All politicians lie, as you well know."

Bloody Hell!....that takes the cake.

We've never quite seen the absolute mendacity of an Abbott govt as far as representing one agenda before an election - and then attempting to implement the polar opposite upon being elected.

I'm not just being cliché here...you do remember...don't you?

Suse, Suse....I've never seen such a turn around in a poster here as to attitude, just because someone suave took the top job.
.......

otb,

"BS, you are doing backflips. So superficial...."

Talking of backflips and changes of tune, your standing up for the girls here is a case in point....especially when one recalls all the trouble you've gone to in the past to troll Foxy.

"You are Tinsel - the old leaden type and poisonous."

Au contraire, otb....it's precisely your brand of putrid toxicity which encourages me to avoid this place.

It's all coming back to me why I stayed away - "onthebeach" (aka - sock-puppet extraordinaire)

Poirot "Suse, Suse....I've never seen such a turn around in a poster here as to attitude, just because someone suave took the top job. "

Unfortunately Poirot, I could say the same about you. If you think I prefer Turnbull because he is 'suave', then you don't know me at all.

Dear Juca,

Welcome to the Forum.

I love the name Juca. And I look forward to
inter-acting with you.

Dear Poirot and Suse,

We've shared this Forum for ages and I trust
that we shall continue to do so for many years
to come.

As far as Mr Turnbull is concerned - let's
wait and see what he's got up his sleeve.
Lets give him a chance.

As far as I'm concerned he can't be worse than
his predecessors. I recall how happy I was when
the Liberal Party came to its senses and elected
Mr Turnbull as its Leader. Hopefully the man will
not disappoint.
But we'll have to wait and see.

Hi Foxy,

Yes we have...and I think you can understand why I'm gobsmacked at Suse's apparent bagging of Labor now that the govt has changed leader.

From your point of view, it all seems to rest solely on the notion you have that Turnbull is somehow going to reveal his real moderate self as some unspecified date in the future.

It's all down to "what he's got up his sleeve".

He's got nothing up his sleeve...he hasn't got a broad power base, he hasn't even got an economic policy. He was allowed to usurp Abbott for one reason and one reason only - Abbott was so dastardly hopeless in maintaining polls while implementing ferocious far-right policy.

Mals' much better at it.

Suse says this to me:

"Poirot, Shorten and his gang have no real policies at all that I can recall."

That's straight out of Lib-speak 101.

What's this - chopped liver?

"Independent modelling backs Labor's negative gearing policy"

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/independent-modelling-backs-labors-negative-gearing-policy-20160219-gmyl8o.html

"Independent modelling has dented the Turnbull government's attack on Labor's negative gearing policy, finding it will generate billions for the Commonwealth with the vast bulk of revenue coming from just the top 10 per cent of households who negatively gear their properties.

The report's author says the policy would likely slow the pace of house-price growth and boost new housing construction, making it "potentially the biggest housing affordability policy the country has seen."

It's a brilliant policy...and what's more Labor are actually able to articulate it to the public.

I was just as happy as you and Suse to see the back of Abbott and Credlin. He was painful and ridiculous.

However, I am not about to let up on this toxic right-wing outfit until I note a marked swing to a more moderate regime. If anything, Turnbull's govt has been even more vicious than Abbott's as far as extreme policy is concerned.

Even if Malcolm is faking it, as you seem to surmise, why would you laud a bloke who inflicts such pain to gain the top job? Why would you laud a govt devoid of fiscal policy?
