Dear O Sung Wu,

The media has a lot to answer. Once the mud's been slung
even if the person's been totally cleared - as she
was - many people
still believed the original accusations due to their own
prejudices and fears. And our former PM was an easy
target - with quite a few having their own reasons to
attack her. The "seek and destroy" attitude and the gross
disrespect for the office of PM and for her personally
was unheralded in the history of this country.

I admired her for taking it all in her stride - as she did.
Nobody deserved that sort of treatment.

Hi FOXY...

She was not cleared as you assert, they didn't believe it was worth the time or money to pursue her, especially without the co-operation of Slater & Gordon who were her employer's at the time - she was however asked to leave the Company. I believe she was naive to think, you can lay down with dogs and get up without being infested fleas (her boyfriend at the time). Had police been given carte blanche to pursue any criminality associated with Ms GILLARD - well, who knows where it would lead?

Unfortunately FOXY to cast a vote for Labour, is a vote for the criminal elements of the trade Unions. All my life I've belonged to a union and I fully support them. It's the criminal element at the top of some, eg the CFMEU, who unfortunately sully the reputations of the many good ones.

Dear mhaze,

I'm not sure how you do it but combining childishness with pig ignorance is not a good look.

Do you understand the difference between a standing force of military personnel and a force deployed for so called war games?

When at the end of last year Trump sent 12,000 troops to the peninsular it escalated tensions considerably. “North Korea crisis: 12,000 US troops sent to peninsula amid NUCLEAR WAR fears”

Most of them remained because of those tensions, Kim wanted them gone and the provocation of the war games to cease. That is what it looks like he got.

Now you off talking about the US entire military presence in South Korea. Who was correct in their numbers? You at 28,500 or your Commander in Chief who put them at 32,000?

Next you had no idea of upcoming war games planned for the peninsular. You were wrong yet again. Yet there was no concession about being incorrect just more bloody waffle.

But Trump has done even more than that. He also talked about the flights from Guam of nuclear capable bombers. Remember last time we discussed this you were so derisive that I included them in a 'nuclear free peninsular' now here they are at the behest of your Commander in Chief.

Look mate when something is so much out of your league normal people go and appraise themselves of the facts rather than digging themselves deeper. How about you give it a try.

Steely, "I'm not sure how you do it but combining childishness with pig ignorance, [along with your stupidity & arrogance], is not a good look".

Well it is clear we have not lost the art of insulting each other to the point of defamation in my absence, is it not clear it never works?as outrageous thoughts about Trump are here on both sides let me add mine,see America in my view bought back from ww2 many things, including the art of the lie, its people, some at least, can no longer tell truth from lie, Trump, Tramp of man that he is,wants only money and is using his position to get even richer,and his victims love him for it!

o sung wo you once pulled me up for what you saw and I failed to, see, as insulting some one, gee your post about Labor while you have every right to an opinion was, well not supported by those who vote for it and give it the largest number of votes FOR ANY SINGLE PARTY in our country. that Sir, remembering the Libs and Nats are separate party's is the fact/truth
