Dear foxy and o sung wu,

I will admit to being a little surprised myself but I'm finding Turnbull has risen a modicum in my estimation. This is at the expense of Shorten and the Green's, primarily due to their reprehensible Gonski politicking.

Up until this point I could have tossed a coin between Shorten and Albo but the former has lost me. Albo's position that Labour should have supported the government and touted the fact they had at least come someway toward Labour's position on education funding reform.

The Greens' are really starting to get a record of less than honest brokers, of being hyper-partisan at the expense of half way decent policy. I am thoroughly disgusted by their efforts during the latest Gonski debate. They are a minor party and so the kickem' at any cost should not apply. They really need a good look at themselves.

And I really did think we needed saving from Abbott. While not deposed in an election the people certainly had a hand in turfing him out by returning poll after poll of massive dissatisfaction with his performance.

That being said I did hanker over a chance to vote him out. Perhaps that will come to pass if he manages to do a Rudd. However I do recognise this is a selfish position to take, and one that does nothing for the country.

Foxy,

You must be too posh too to have any consideration for the great majority of ordinary Australian women, salt of the Earth, who are constantly being forgotten by the educated middle class elite of self-titled 'Progressives' who are doing very well for themselves and 'never you mind'.

There was Greens Princess Larissa, making a big show in the Senate, while out of that rarified atmosphere most women (&parents) were at the same time confronting the conditions (mainly lack of same) described by OLO contributor CHERFUL, Saturday, 22 July 2017 10:58:19 PM

Then Princess Larissa passed 'The Child' to her waiting retinue. A reverent hush descends, as the curtains gently drop for the next scene...

'Where is that tiara?' 'No! Not that one, the other one!'
So hard to get good help these days.

Voice from behind, 'Er, I might be able to supply names of some nannies. Going cheap, a bit over-used though'......

leoj,

What on earth are you on about now.

Still the same anti-Greens tirade I see.

Give it a rest, it is becoming embarrassing.

So you think that I'm posh?
I'm not quite sure of what you mean by that?

Therefore I don't quite know
how to respond.

I'm someone
who's always had to work hard for what I
wanted and what I have I well and truly
earned. Yes, I am fortunate to have had a
good education - but again, nobody gave that
to me. I had to study hard to get that. It
wasn't easy.

I imagine that the same can be said for Larissa
Waters - who you seem to think has had it easy.
Do you know how hard it is to study and earn a
degree? And Senator Waters has several degrees.
Therefore inferring that she's some kind of
"Princess" is really ignorant. And life for a
female Senator in Parliament is not easy either.

Dear SteeleRedux,

It will be interesting to see what happens prior
to the next election. There's so much talk at present.
I'm mainly interested in the policies. Still,
I also have to admit that I am leaning more towards
Malcolm Turnbull currently. Mr Shorten does not
appeal to me at all. As for Mr Abbott? Mr Turnbull
needs to take that man aside and have a serious heart-to-
heart with him. Things can't keep on going as they
currently are.

Foxy,

There is a gap, a chasm, between the elitist Greens and the ordinary public. Women provide a perfect example of that.

Here, from page 11, since you feign ignorance, and you will need to duck again,

<To repeat the bleeding obvious,

Yet there are longstanding issues affecting almost all women, but fat lot the always-entitled Larissa, or Greens, might care. Foxy, you obviously need a reminder too. See here,

Larissa's stunts in the Senate chamber and elsewhere were about Larissa. She and other strutting, self-entitled celebrities who are as fortunate as she is, but some not as well placed as she was to do anything about it, are riding on the backs of millions of women. Women they are constantly letting down.

Got to wonder if Larissa or any of those other women celebrities who claim to represent women, the womyns commentariat on The Box for instance, have ever graced shopping centre infants change rooms in their Gucci pumps and designer essentials. Yet the planet could be saved from global warming if only their endless gassing about women could be directed into electricity generation.

leoj,

I stopped reading your post when I saw
that you were on your usual rants.
Then I just lost interest.

Hi there FOXY & STEELEREDUX...

I'm so fed up with all but a very few of our LNP federal politicians, I'd lock 'em all up given half a chance! All the backstabbing, the factions, and quislings all doing their own thing, is utterly disheartening to the average voter. If one were a true conservative, as am I, you'd never cast a vote, to favour the LNP with Mr TURNBULL at the helm. I see myself casting a vote for Mr Cory BERNADI and his team provided Mr BERNADI even has a team, and they are all bona fide Australian citizens.
