yep claiming bullying because you don't get your own way is very demeaning to men and women who have really been bullied. I suspect that's the case with the Turnbull followers. We have a generation of snowflakes who see it as bullying everytime they are denied something they have been taught they are 'entitled' to. How anyone thought Bishop was 'entitled' to the PM's job amazes me. Someone will realise one day that being Foreign Affairs Minister giving away money left right and centre is certainly a lot easier than leading a party or country. Admittingly she did a good job butn any one of 100 people could float around the world and being careful to be pc.

speaking of 'bullying'. A 51 year old woman (teachers aide) has escaped gaol after grooming and having sex with a 15 year old boy. What more needs to be said. Many men in gaol for same crime.

runner this thread is not an anti woman one is it? can a woman in this country,s governing party announce she is to reveal some acts she thinks are out of order ,? things we have not even heard yet? is that a crime? you point out a truth, one that has nothing to do with this thread, but remains true, a woman had sex with a 15 year old, forced? not sure, should she have walked away after being found guilty? NO WAY! not because she is a woman, but because that is why justice is said to be blind, it should see no sex ,or any thing other than the crime, goggle bad women, sure you can find much more to muddy the waters on this thread

the point is Belly that we have clear evidence of a 51 year old woman grooming a young man. With these Turnbull backers we have no names, no description of how they were bullied and much much news about it. Maybe we should stick to real bullying not tantrum throwing when one does not get their own way.

That's right runner. And a couple of weeks ago, an African 'refugee' had her life sentence reduced because a very weak appeal judge thought that the trial judge had been too tough after she she was convicted of driving several of her own children into a lake and killing them. We won't hear anything from the man-haters and girly-men here about that. Not just African women - all types of women - kill more children than men do.

Many Members of Parliament have referred to politics as a
"blood sport," especially during the past few weeks.
So, as we've seen politics is intensely personal. It is
personal for all of us because the laws passed by Parliament
shape our lives in ways big and small and the stakes are
too high for us to ignore. So politics whether we like it
or not, does matter.

It will be politics that will determine whether electricity
bills will keep going up along with our emissions, whether coal
mines can dump waste into wetlands beside The Great Barrier
Reef without penalty, whether our parents, relatives,
friends and neighbours can stay in their own homes as they
age, whether they'll be able to afford decent health care,
whether they can educate their children, whether they'll
be able to work, whether they'll get a decent pension, whether
children will keep setting themselves alight on Nauru. Whether
we'll continue to crack down on banks, whether we'll
continue to protect kids from sexual abuse,
the list goes on.

We really cannot give up on this
"blood sport" of politics because of our frustration with
the revolving door of leadership and the bullying that
apparently has gone on in our Parliament. Because we need to
remind ourselves that the government works for us.

Those that may want us to simply walk away from politics
may prefer a dictatorship - but in a democracy people speak
their minds - and make their vote count - where it does
matter.
