Foxy,

As you have often said, everyone is entitled to form their opinions but not their own facts. I like everyone else have my own opinion, based on my interpretation of the facts available that many on OLO disagree with.

However, when someone smart like AL cherry picks some facts and misrepresents others to make a politically partisan point, then I call BS.

Labor is the party of government regulation and control, high taxes, high spending, and protectionism which is everything that is anathema to anyone that considers themselves "liberal" in the original sense. The coalition government actively tries to reduce regulation and taxes and has passed every single FTA this century.

Since I started this thread about the bad behaviour of SSM supporters, more and more examples have emerged.

In the past a joke used to be.

That Labor come into power give the voters everything and stuff up the economy so the Liberals then had to come into power and take everything away from the people and fix the economy.

With the two jokers we have now Shorten and Turnbull they both seem to want to stuff up the economy.

Dear Shadow Minister,

I wouldn't be defending the Coalition Government
and blaming Labor so easily if I were you. Neither
side is perfect and most voters are getting sick
and tired of all the outrageous things politicians
and their supporters say and do and are not held
accountable. Voters are sick and tired of double-
standards, inappropirate behaviour, of the lies,
the division and disruption, the misinformation.
What politicians don't say themselves they have
surrogates say for them. And so it goes.

Can we bring back honour and truthfullness, leadership
and governing.

I wonder. Pointing fingers at the other side is an
outmoded tactic that no longer works nowadays.

' Oh... Hi runner.

Sorry, I had this lengthy and considered response typed up for Philip S, thinking it was him who had posted that last comment of yours. Then I saw it was you.'

yeah not nice when people see straight through your deceit is it AJ?

Yes, runner. Yes. That was totally it.

<<yeah not nice when people see straight through your deceit is it AJ?>>

I remind you, runner, that you are yet to point to a single example of deceit from me.

I won't hold my breath.

Shadow Minister, who is AL?
