yep and she did not know the difference between revenue and profit. Sackable offense in the real world but not among lefties or cheer and protect each other.

Foxy gems do not come easy in a world that ignores truth, puts every woman in a lower basket and holds facts to be offensive
Small L Liberalism if not dead is in a bad way
When progressive and Liberal become swear words for some

Dear Belly,

Prejudice is a great time saver.
People like some that we have on this forum
can form opinions without having to get the facts.

runner,

The ABC and the "Lefties" did not stab Abbott in the
back. Abbott got voted out by the ruling Liberal
Party following months of speculation and crumbling
support from voters.

The popularity of the government and Abbott in particular
had suffered from a series of perceived policy missteps,
destabilizing, infighting, and leaks.
Typical behaviour in politics. As we've seen recently.

But hey, who needs facts - its the opinion that counts
for some!

The Left is a synonym for Progressive- In the Liberal Party everyone is Economically Conservative (Right) but not everyone is Socially Progressive (Left)- Tony Abbott is perceived as being Socially Conservative (Right) by many Turnbull is Socially Progressive (Left).

The ABC and the rest of the media are very important for public opinion which waxes and wains- this is one of the reasons for the repealed cross and foreign media ownership laws.

So the comment "the ABC and the Lefties stabbed Abbott in the back" could be an accurate representation of what happened when Socially Left Turnbull deposed Socially Right Abbott.

'But hey, who needs facts - its the opinion that counts

certainly has proven to be the case with the Russian lie made up against Trump. Still no evidence? Thought not.
