Poirot,

'Parrot' doesn't suit SM: he doesn't just parrot back someone else's rubbish as you do. If some deadbeat Commo says something, you parrot it back as though it were the gospel truth.

Won't get a response? You call Tuesday's blather a response, do you? More reference to your favourite nutters, that's all it was. Ever thought of finding out things for yourself?

You are definitely a talking bird merely repeating what your masters say. Perhaps not a parrot - more of a little cage-bred budgie. I'll call you Budgie, then.

How about "some facts" from you, showing that the people you mentioned did more harm to the economy than Swann, Rudd and Gillard did? Swann was the only Treasurer in that shower (none of yours were/are Treasurers, but I'll play by your rules and bring leaders in). Swann was a blithering idiot, lead by morons. Gives us facts refuting that.

Looking forward to hearing some first-hand FACTS from you, Budgie. I suppose that handle for someone like you is insulting to other budgies; but useless, twittering little bird seems apt for you.

ttbn,'

I skimmed half your post.

When I referrenced Shadow Minister in regards to "parrot", I was referring to his semi-regular habit of regressing to primary school tactics and calling me "parrot".

I was reflecting that was his kiddie name for me - and perhaps use should use your considerable genius for puerile banter and come up with something original.

I don't know what other garbage was in your post - and nor do I care.

You are one poster here who is hardly worth the effort.

Poirot, when are you going to stop the games and come up with the real numbers.

Using your own figures, net debt from labor went from negative $20B to $175B. Allowing $40B for the GFC, that still leaves $155B that those fools racked up, and for what?

We had a ridiculous NBN that was to take fibre to some 94% of households, with no guarantee they would use it, an unfunded educational mess, unfunded NDIS, policy failure after policy failure like fuel watch/grocery watch, and an insulation debacle costing billions to get wrong, more billions to rectify (the libs problem of cause) and four young lives.

Of cAuse the mother of all mothers was Rudds ultimate 'brain fart', the illegals debacle, where he inherited TWO and left two thousand.

So I will make it as easy as I can Poirot;
$x is where the libs started from
$Y is where they are now, and $Z are the dollars required to service the debts and commitments left behind by labor.

You can save face by providing these REAL NUMBRS, or you can continue the blame game but i'm not buying it.

Of cause you can also throw your hands into the air and take your bat and ball home as you have threatened to, and I must say, I don't blame you.

You started this argument, and unless you provide the REAL NUMBERS, you are admitting guilt.

You can't fool me Poirot.

"You can't fool me Poirot."

Lol!....I wouldn't dare try, rehctub!

How could I fool a hard working butcher who appears to spend half his time on OLO asking the same question...but never has time to come up with the REAL NUMBERS to throw back at me.

(I thought you emailed Stephen Koukoulas for those, anyway)

Btw, let's have a look at the lastest machinations of that very strange character the govt have made Treasurer.

"Scott Morrison takes Coalition scare campaign to the brink of parody"

"Scott Morrison has turned the volume to 11 in the Coalition’s intensifying campaign to scare voters off voting for the Greens or independents.

The treasurer has launched a new Liberal advertisement with a loud rock soundtrack entitled “The Greening of Labor” which, in the fine tradition of the fabulous faux documentary about the fictitious rock band Spinal Tap, stretches the “attack ad” genre to the point of parody."

It's almost surreal that this fella is actually the Treasurer of Australia - and not some second-rate comedy actor having a pull of our leg.

Actually Poirot, I spend about half an hour at around 5am, another hour or so during the day, then sometime a bit more at night. I rather enjoy it and prefer this to watching the box, unless of cause the Broncos are playing. I drive my wife mad.

I should get time today to email that guy, lets see what he comes back with hey!

rehctub, Foxy,

Interesting article...

"Medibank customers hope to get their money back with ACCC's help"

"For 15 years she paid for Medibank's most comprehensive private health insurance policy, giving her peace of mind she wouldn't pay out-of-pocket fees in hospital.

And for 15 years, that was the case, even when her chronic Crohn's disease saw her admitted up to 10 times a year.

But then, following a two-week stay at the Cabrini Hospital in Melbourne's east in April last year, they arrived: a $500 bill for an MRI scan and a $200 bill for tests.

"I thought it had been sent to me in error, so I rang up and said 'what's going on? I've received a bill; I never receive bills'," she said.

The 47-year-old TAFE teacher says the hospital explained that Medibank had changed its policies and limited its cover for in-hospital pathology and radiology results.

"I was furious," Ms Harrison told Fairfax Media on Thursday.

"If I had of been made aware of the change in the policy, I would have gotten coverage from a different provider, because I know that I need those services.

"The reason I have that top-level cover is so I don't get saddled with a massive bill."

Now, the consumer watchdog has accused Medibank and its subsidiary, ahm, of deliberately keeping the policy changes secret.

It did so, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission alleges, to protect its brand and boost its profits ahead of being privatised and listed on the stock exchange in November 2014.

The ACCC launched court action on Wednesday accusing Medibank of misleading and unconscionable conduct, alleging the insurer relied on the high probability customers like Ms Harrison would think in-hopsital free were still covered."
