I know what I posted wombleoz.
 Your a self confessed socialist. And thats fine - and North Korea is a socialist society. You have suggested comparing the "scary" Right with the Left. I simply say, if you want to take a good look at the Left (not so scary according to you)....look no further than North Korea. |

LOL enjoy the beers Jez, you've obviously had a few
the extremes on either side are always a worry |

Ouch, we've hit a nerve.
Again. YOU have suggested comparing the "scary" Right with the Left. I simply say, if you want to take a good look at the Left (not so scary according to you)....look no further than North Korea. |

So your not a Socialist anymore wombleoz?
You've given up reading the spoils of the Green Left Weekly? Proud supporters of the Socialist Alliance? |
|
By:
I would hold America up as an example of the what happens when the right gets too much control - massive debt, HUGE divides between the rich and poor, dog eat dog - but obviously I'd rather live there then in the dictatorship that is North Korea
I am, to a degree, a socialist Jez although I am an economic realist as well - there is a balance. So I am not an extreme left winger, just like you aren't an an extreme right winger |

Come on wombleoz.
Your telling me the GFC was brewed up wholly by the Republicans? I've said before I disagree with a great deal of the Republicans - I put there right wing position in a different bag to the Liberal Party of Australia. The Republicans are TRUE conservatives, to the letter. We support Medicare, for example. [;)] The Republicans detest it. The Liberals here, are not - we are a genuine centre-right party formed by Sir Robert Menzies on the values of families, individual freedom, aspirationalism, small business, less red tape/less tax and respecting/defending the institutions and values that have stood the test of time. Thats obviously just a small sample of Australian Liberalism. But of course there are moderates even Green-leaning Liberal people. I'm a big believer in a "broad church" within the party - as John Howard used to say. |

John Howard led the highest taxing government in Australia's history

Of my entire post, thats your observation.
However, I will say the implementation of the GST, I disagreed with - as I've stated before. But, lets look at the present, not the past. What has Labor repealed, in terms of taxes? And whats planned for this year? Flood Tax, Mining Tax and a Carbon Tax. Mmmmmmm  [smiley:crazy][:p] |
|
By:
i thought talking about north korea and the us was pretty irrelevant
they delivered the promised tax cuts and had henry do his work, i'm hoping, with some pushing from the independents, we see some genuine tax reforms in the next year or two flood tax is only for 12 months - although should become permanent mining tax makes sense - did you see rio tintos profit figure today??? carbon tax - bring it on  |

You remind me of that bloke who was spruiking (during a media conference) the solidarity of the Hussein Regime in Iraq, as US tanks rolled in behind.
Pathetic. |

Your all for more corruption, scandals, political dog acts (power assets fire-sale) and another rewind of 20 years for NSW aren't you wombleoz?
Shame on you and others who support the re-election of this rotting, pathetic excuse for a government - nothing to suggest a vote for Labor, just a weak chant of "the right will takeover NSW". Fair dinkum pathetic. I repeat, pathetic. |
|
By:
Looking from afar, I feel the NSW government have done a stellar job. What have they done wrong?
|
|
By:
From afar? Where the FKN hell do you live Joel? You'd have to be a fair distance for this corrupt mob to look good. |
|
By:
I'm in Melbourne, home to the worst government in the country.

By:
 Your in safe hands my friend. |

By:
probably not the worst YET Joel but it won't take long

Keep talking em down wombleoz, talking em down.
LOL I doubt Baillieu will meet you standards..... No corruption, scandals or political dogs act to be found within the Baillieu government - thats a Green/Labor speciality. |

Surprised your scared of Ted, wombleoz.
His a moderate, small l-Liberal. |
|
By:
He leads the Liberals though Jez, that's why I'm worried
Big test will come for him next week with the Myki decision - will be a disgrace if he scraps it after all the money that has been spent Notice what all these pictures you post have in common Jez, white anglo saxon males probably all with boarding school backgrounds - i.e. the Liberal Party in a nutshell - where is the DIVERSITY!!! |
|
By:
Your pathetic wombleoz. You lose credibility and respect with these sort of posts.
You show yourself for what you really are - I start to wonder why I even have these discussions with you. I mean I can handle the hypocracy you bleet about, in relation to Myki. Alright for Labor, not alright for the Liberals. It's cheap and typical of you. But I'm not going to entertain your farcical suggestion that the men and women that encompass the Liberal Party are all of "boarding school backgrounds" - without diversity. Would have to be the most obnoxious, rude and uneducated comment I've read on this place for some time. Your knowledge of politics and specifically the ACTUAL backgrounds of the men and women of the Liberal Party is clearly lacking greatly - you rather make baseless, inaccurate and actually, offensive asumptions. If I'm going to have a crack at Labor, its generally a political argument and if I'm going to stoop to make a personal comment - I at least do my homework and base it on FACT. This is clearly more ideological tripe you've sourced from The Greens. If its not boarding school trash talk - its an attack on the presence of "white anglo saxon males". So the Greens screen members and potential candidates to level out the races, do they? FFS! I'd say the newly elected Aboriginal Liberal member for one of the Western Australian electorates would be pretty offended by your baseless insinuations about a lack of diversity. Read his story, have you? Of course you fkn haven't. Suppose if your leaders not Gay, you don't have Left wing extremists breeding amongst you, no Leftie Elitists, or former Communists in your party - your not diverse enough. Do me favour. Actually look up the backgrounds of Tony Abbott, Ted Baillieu, Barry O'Farrell or Warren Truss - of course you won't - you'd prefer to perpetuate this fanciful ideological drivel. Wake up clown. |

By:
Didn't realise a party that goes so hard on the count of equality could be so extraordinarily judgmental and smug.
True colours. |
|
By:
Myki has been a massive waste of money Jez BUT we're pot committed, i.e. too far in to can it now
I should've probably said private school instead of boarding school but same difference really. Other parties, especially the Greens, attract a wider variety of members who are drawn together because of what they believe in not because of which suburb they were born in or what school they went to - and naturally, drawing from that more diverse base, they have a bigger more reflective range of leaders |
|
By:
Sure wombleoz.
You've had the same gay leader for how long now? Such diversity. Wow. Think long and hard about that last paragraph wombleoz and maybe look at the bio's of Liberals across Australia - you clearly know nothing of what you speak - your casting judgement based on a pathetic ideological assumptions. Your the sort of small mind who has festered on these ideological thoughts for years and years - but never bothered to do some reading and learn for themselves what the truth or read about the actual diversity that is present within the Liberal Party. You can't be told though. No No. Based on your comments here today, YOU are an elitist. Nobody else. You. A left wing socialist-leaning elitist by the sounds of things. Thank god they're in short supply. Your comments are grubby, inaccurate and again, uneducated drivel. On values and principles I'd give Ted Baillieu the tick over you any day with that attitude. And is not because of his families wealth, mate. I grew up in a working class suburb, my beliefs and values in the Liberal Party have nothing to do with wealth, my childhood, my school (my childrens school) or which suburb I was born in. It's the likes of you in The Greens that is ensuring Labor and the Liberals work together to ensure your minority views aren't pushed apon the majority. |

Keneally 'giving up': NSW opposition
February 13, 2011 - 11:19AM AAP NSW Premier Kristina Keneally has indicated a deal is being done to make Transport Minister John Robertson the next Labor leader, the opposition says. In an interview with Sky on Sunday, Ms Keneally sidestepped questions about whether she would retain the leadership after the March 26 election. Ms Keneally also praised Mr Robertson during the interview - something the opposition says is a sure sign of the premier's intentions. "The failure by Kristina Keneally to commit to standing for the Labor leadership after the election is a tacit admission that John Robertson will have a clear run at the leadership if Labor wins or loses the election," Liberal Party campaign spokeswoman Gladys Berejiklian said in a statement. "Premier Keneally's strong praise of John Robertson in his attempt to move to the lower house seat of Blacktown looks very much like she is already giving up and handing over the leadership." |

Not a bad range of backgrounds and sexes there Why would I want to read bios of Liberals Jez, other than the know your enemy thing, I would (as a Liberal voting mate of mine says) rather dust my stamp collection There's nothing wrong with aspiration, everyone - no matter their background, should aspire to improve their lot in life, if that's what they want The class wars have never and will never die Us vs them will always be there as well It's always easier to say everything is ok if you have more p.s. you shouldn't take what i say personally, it's not about you!!! |
|
By:
I don't take it personally, but I'm making a point.
How can you cast judgment on people you know nothing about. ie. Liberal members of Parliament And your not willing to correct yourself by learning the facts, for exmaple reading biographies. I'm assuming you've listened to the dirty Labor campaign against Baillieu and have run with it. Educate yourself a little better before making these flippant remarks. |
|
By:
Baillieu went to school with Brumby so they are both private school boys, he is white and a male - 3 outta 4 covered without the need to do any additional research

By:
Looks like the Greens NSW have rejected any preference deal with a "toxic" Labor Party in NSW.
Looks like your on your own wombleoz (not surprising). Not even your own party can bring themselves to back Labor. |
|
By:
Sounds like the Greens would prefer a Coalition controlled upper house than Labor doing dirty deals with the Christian Democrats or the Shooters Party, as they did this term.
Thats right. Labor doing deals with the CHRISTIAN democrats and the SHOOTERS party.  Well I never......What excuses you got in the bag for those dirty deals wombleoz? I congratulate the Greens for taking a stand against a government that is certainly "toxic", out of touch and has left the great state of NSW in disarray. |
|
By:
take what u will out of it Jez, this election will be like no other
|
|
By:
The Greens say NSW Labor are "toxic".
The Greens would prefer a Coalition majority in both houses than Labor. Wowsers. Thats a big statement. And Labor, wheeling and dealing with those that you SUGGEST the Coalition WOULD deal with in your pathetic scare campaign - the SHOOTERS Party and CHRISTIAN Democrats. |
|
By:
i wish the election would hurry up and get here, this is getting painful
|
|
By:
Finally realising the inevitable wombleoz.
This will be an election of unseen proportions. Antony Green crunched the numbers yesterday and he could only find 13 seats for NSW Labor in the lower house. Bring on 26 March. BRING IT ON. |
