ttbn, it is well known that those of your political persuasion have a very short attention span. For Turnballs to can some promise, like a lifetime ban on reffo's, remembering Little Johnny Howard made a distinction between core and non core promises. Non core promises you could chuck out the window immediately, core promises, you had to wait five minutes until your supporters, like your good self, had completly forgotten about them. Glad the SMH is doing you fellas a service, jogging your memory, and I would say, that would be no easy task. maybe Turnball's is taking a leaf out of Little Johnnies book.

Shadow, a dour old conservative finds nothing "laughable" it is all pessimistic doom and gloom for you fellas. Remember the famous words of the Kooyoung Kid, aka the show pony of the Liberal Party, Andrew Peakcock; "It is a very serious matter!" and for Andy that included everything, even what he had for breakfast.
Therefore you cannot be a true conservative and find anything laughable.

Shadow, I was wondering where you had got to, thinking you might have been off on your annual sabbatical or something simmilar, possibly visiting The Donald for more words of inspiration.

Of course, we're deliberating over the worst sort of criminals, quite possibly with a string of brutal murders and tortures to their names. So clearly they would have to locked away for life. But where ?

Is it possible to generate a small remote-area economic resurgence by building new maximum-security prisons say, north of Oodnadatta or west of Betoota (check out Google Maps). There's plenty of room out there for a system of scattered single-cell isolation rooms, say fifty metres apart from each other.

Of course, provision of amenities should be extremely limited: no phones of any sort, for instance. Music of course: perhaps Triple-J could be played 24/7. Of course, prisoners should be allowed out for at least a half-hour per day over the 24 hours of a day, preferably midnight to five a.m., and of course with the times staggered so that they never see each other.

Perhaps there wouldn't need to be any fences, prisoners could be trusted on a sort of honour system - but unfortunately, they may be regrettably shot while trying to escape across the desert.

Prisoners should be provided with minimal materials for leisure, for example ropes for knot-tying exercises: hours of fascinating fun.

We need to be constructive in matters like these.

Paul,

Sometimes when you left whingers indulge in manic ranting and mutual back slapping, especially when you are so far off the topic I chose to leave you wallowing in your delusion. If you and Foxy continue like this you will get an award from Liberty Victoria. Probably for mathematics or other subjects for which they are equally incompetent.

As for attention span, the greens and labor have the attention span of a goldfish especially considering the recent night of the long knives within the greens, and the battles amongst the labor factions for pre selection.

Dear Paul,

Isn't this fun?

Trying to argue intelligently with some people.

Worst 5 minutes of my life.

Best to simply ignore or walk away.

Oh god, isn't it painful when you get one of these lefties so impressed with their own literary abilities, brilliance & sense of humour that they can actually write & show publicly the sort of cr*p that we see above.

Tell us Paul, is it uncomfortable wearing your pants sideways, so you can pee in your own pocket?

Turnbulls budget was very election like, Abbott said not something the Conservatives would do.
If they make a party who would they give their preferences to, If they give it to Hanson they would cut their own throat.
Learn from the past and give the idea away, or make a fool of themselves.
I have not seen anything from the former disgraced PM since pre budget. Hard right is politically biased and does not rate.
