Not at all. I was just pointing out that these kids weren't paying attention when their class was being indoctrinated to love Gillard and Milne. "Green and Labor values" is of course, an oxymoron.

Puns and jokes aside you really need to have your head read if you think our current Prime Minister deserves respect. Respect is something you need to earn. Better still if you want to receive respect try giving it first.
Did Gillard show respect to the Australian people when she lied about the carbon tax.?
Did Gillard show respect to Kevin Rudd when she knifed him in the back?
Did Gillard show respect to Tony Abbott when she blasted him with her misogyny tirade in Parliament?
Please feel free to add to this list.

Bintang, feel free to show your disrespect at the polling booth.
If you think childish sandwich throwing is acceptable then you are just condoning a race to the bottom of anti-social behaviour.

Rest assured I most certainly will along with the majority of voters. But for someone who doesn't have the luxury of being able to vote (such as the sandwich thrower) its understandable that they might choose to vent their frustration in a different way.
No it was not acceptable. The sandwich was a very poor choice. It should have been a tomato or an egg.

I don't have respect for the current PM, but I do respect the office. I would like to think that our children are taught to respect the office of PM as well.
Pitching anything is a dumb way to go about it. Asking a few hard hitting questions or writing an article in the school paper expressing you disappointment in the current government are two more reasonable ways to vent your frustration. Let's face it, these kids throwing the sandwiches are most likely not even that interested in politics, they are just doing it for a dare or notoriety or something like that. They all know Gillard is on the nose so they think it's funny to throw something at her. It's not, it's disrespectful.

Well said Miss Hale. I totally agree with you. They are two completely different things. But the student threw the sandwich at the PrimeMinister not at the Office of the Prime Minister so I don't think it is fair for you to assume that the student has no respect for the Prime Minister's Office.

Pitching something gets far more media attention.
+1 and it should have been a rotten egg at that.

I think we are talking at cross purposes. If you respect the office you don't throw sandwiches at the person occupying the office (I assume you realise I am not talking about a physical office as in a building).

I know I certainly have. Haven't watched a news bulletin or current affairs/political programme of any kind for months now.

She went down to Geelong today to tell the Ford workers how much she cared, no one could throw a sandwich because they need them to eat.
The carbon tax added $400 to the cost of a Ford and Holden.

Yet, the GM Holden chairman and Managing Director agreed that his company supported carbon tax in Australia.
You can't have it both ways I am afraid.

Miss Hale, you take me too seriously. I was taking the mickey. Maybe I need to use emoticons.
You've got to be diplomatic to the end when the government has been propping up your industry in this country.

Yes I saw on t.v where she was taking credit for the lighting towers around the footy ground.
Thought the commentators comment of, "at least we will be able to see who is stealing our car" was apt.
Geelong is going to be hit hard.

They also claimed the cost was between $112 and $150/car. Not $400, which was a PwC estimate.

Either way if $400 on a $30k product makes it uneconomic then it wasn't economic to begin with.
