I couldn't care less who you voted for. You're human scum.
Yes you refer to it throughout the thread, not just me, every poster that challenges you. If it isn't written like a Labor love child you go defcon4 hate bile.
Keep the hate coming.
The fact how purple angry you get just gives me a massive laugh every time you post, keep it up bro :lol:

Absolutely not how the interview went. Your post highlights your political bias.
They repeatedly made mention that "both sides" have problems and they repeatedly praised how respectful and supportive Liberal men have been to them. You're full of shit, as usual.
You are a teacher unionist dick
You took what you wanted from that interview but then you think the very media outlet that conducted the interview is a Murdoch stooge. :lol:
Your lack of self awareness is breathtaking. You are just as biased as I am, but your loyalty is of course to the Coalition. The big difference between you and I is that I am open and honest about being an ALP member whereas you've always been very secretive about your allegiances.
So who do you think I voted for last election?
One Nation? :nod:

Open question right :thumbup:

The Prime Minister for Women tag got me.

I know that AC rates Micheala Cash but I’m not a fan.

And Dutton - as Defence - I actually like (he’s better there than Home Office).

Overall - cluster fcuk.

I liked Albo out on the trial this morning saying Lamming should go now - he’s right, he should. He’s not fit to be an MP.

The Prime Minister also announced a new taskforce, which Marise Payne, the Minister for Women and Foreign Affairs, was to lead.

He said it would oversee the government's policies on women's equality, safety, economic security, health and wellbeing.

Senator Payne said: "Bringing a gender equality lens, if you like, to the whole-of-ministry approach enables us to really focus in on those issues right across government in a way that I have never seen before.

"I think it's very powerful."

And sorry - that should have been Trail (not trial).

Anyway - there’s a lot of good reason to go after Morrison on Lamming (especially with no imminent election announced). Albo should be pushing this button - hard - for lots of reasons, not least because it’s morally the right thing.

How can I troll you when it’s what you said? Or catch you out (really??) when it’s what you said?

The Cash reference is my mistake - I mistook your appreciation of Kristina Kenneally (sp) with an appreciation of MIchaelia Cash. My mistake - my apologies. You’ve never expressed appreciation of Ms Cash to my knowledge.

Lock down south of the border apparently means you can go do shopping for food, attend medical appointments, oh and go to work.

It means what it’s always meant, that you can only leave home for essential reasons.

Three Senior Liberal women have accused the Liberal Party’s federal vice-president, Teena McQueen, of saying “I would kill to be sexually harassed at the moment”. I'm keen to hear from the Liberal voters on this thread about their thoughts on McQueen's views, and inference that older women would appreciate unwanted attention.

We supposedly model ourselves on the mother of parliaments: Westminster. The Poms put us to shame.

Politics in Australia is a combat sport, politicians are mostly born and bred to the "career of politics".

We have brought it on ourselves. As an ALP supporter I am often reminded of Frank Crean's remark: "The ALP used to be made up of the cream of the working-class; now it is the dregs of the middle class". That was true many years ago. Now it is even truer. :(

Nope. Treat people as individuals.

Would you ban a kid from school because his father was a murderer or rapist? Thats on the father, not the kid.

Just because your parent was a MP, why should that bar you from also being an MP?

If your mother was a doctor, you can't be a doctor? Bizarre logic.
