Yes if we both look back at the world as it was at our birth and see it as it is now, we will see what great changes will come, in time in my view wireless will be far better and used much more than the hard wire NBN we have now.

Dear Belly,

The greatest rage amongst my grandchildren is -
iPads. Looks like I'm know what they're getting for
Christmas.

Think it may be time I lurched back on subject,This weekend my party has its annual weekend in Sydney, went there myself in my last years at work,a lesson can be learned about the last week and the subject of this thread, if we are BRAVE see Bill got it wrong! solidarity, keeping your mouth shut and saying it is not so? blind stupidity!as in my view my party gets closer to becoming the government, I would ask some to note,hiding the truth only convinces others you can not be trusted, it defames Joe and Jane average, screams at them we do not think you know! I want from our next PM a promise a lesson has been learned and to remind others sweeping the dust under the carpet never works

Dear Belly,

I thought that Bill Shorten handled himself rather well.
However, of course his opposition is going to try to
politicise everything. That's the name of the game.
Look at what they're doing to Pauline Hanson's flip flops
as they call them. And how many times have both parties
had a change of heart as new information came to light?

cont'd...

Dear Belly,

Bill Shorten has actually gone up in my estimation because
of his latest decision. To me, it proves that he's not just
able to lead, but he listens as well which is an important
quality in a leader. And as Chris Bowen pointed out -
the decision " struck the right balance. It respects tax
cuts which have been legislated and implemented."

Mr Shorten accepted that stopping at 10 million would have
created more confusion and uncertainty. It now means that
Labor will not go into the next election promising to increase
company tax that has already fallen.

Yet a clear distinction will remain between Labor and the
Coalition, because Labor will not back the further round of
cuts that would see the corporate rate eventually fall to 25%.

Labor remains committed to scrapping tax to the "big end of
town."

Foxy as you know I knew Bill Shorten, he was the head of my union both while I served it in the workplace, and after as an official.
The Bill I know/knew had a Gough like BRILLIANCE I watched and hoped for much, if that man still exists he best make it known, see he over rides his own party machine in Capts calls, he got it wrong,*he had no choice but to back down* still waters run deep, I and those like me, would follow him to hell,it is not us he must speak to, but that middle Australia that has not yet seen him as he was and can be again,
Only they can increase his personal standing in the polls.
Question, do I best serve my party by seeing wrong and saying nothing? or is that the cowards way? constant improvement comes after we see our mistakes never by ignoring them
