Anyone who disagrees with Calliope is a "lefty".

Very simplistic approach.

What does that make you, apart from the obvious?

Where did he say that?

Your posts indicate that you support this bizarre labor government - why wouldn't you be a leftie?

You are guilty of the same simplistic "branding" of anyone who has a different opinion to yours.

"you support this bizarre labor government - why wouldn't you be a leftie?". What a ridiculous statement.
 
Insiders last week wasn't too bad. At least there was a balance of views from the panel.

I feel though that it will generally continue to be a Labor wake until the day the last rites are finally read to this decaying government by the electorate.

They are now only preaching to the faithful.

Well Mr MacQuack, if you look like a duck, quack like a duck and walk like a duck, then you probably are a duck.:D

There are two sides to this coin. I have been branded as a rightie because I don't like this bizarre labor government. So you agree that is ridiculous?...:D
 
Anyone watch Leigh Sales with Bob Brown last night? No one could have accused her of being soft!
Poor old Bob looked a bit stunned.:)

Had to turn off Insiders this morning; compere, guest and panel 100% to the left. Perhaps Insiders is part of the Labor's dirt unit, "Get Abbott" campaign.

Must say that since the Bolt report started the Insiders seem determinded to lean even further to the left.

My wife said the same thing as soon as she saw him, could that be the reason he has retired???.

I thought that even before he retired, he seemed to be getting a bit muddled at times in this answers (I mean more so than Greens pollies usually are ;) ) and looked a lot older all of a sudden. Wasn't at all surprised when he announced his retirement.
 
Cassidy: It hinges on this approach to journalism these days, which seems to be that, 'I'm not making an allegation, I'm asking a question'. Well I ask you, Jon Faine, did you cheat in Year 12? Did you cheat when you put your CV into the ABC to get a job? I don't know. I have no evidence to suggest you did. I'm just asking the question, Jon.


How shallow is Barry Cassidy??


Pooh-poohing continues as the ABC's Dream Team ponders why journalists ask questions

Our unbiased ABC in fine form. :frown:

Listen to the audio of John Faine interviewing Michael Smith.

I didn't have time to listen to the interview, but a quick scan on the comments show many are not happy with Faine's handling of it. When will the ABC get it that they are paid by ALL taxpayers to provide an unbiased and balanced viewpoint.

This is one of the comments taken down and found on Michael Smith's website:

"Very disappointed John by your blatant journalistic bias on the AWU story. This story has gone way beyond the point where a serious investigative reporter can reasonably dismiss the case as ranting 'birthers' or right wing trogs. I'm an ardent Labour and union supporter. I believe passionately in the light on the hill. But I think the issues in the AWU case go right to the heart of what's wrong institutionally with the Australian Labor Party.

Judging from your comments this morning, I don't expect this comment to get a public airing but I do urge you (as a listener who has had nothing but respect for you for so many years) to consider the veracity of the categorical denial by Julia Gillard that she knew about the mortgage obtained by Wilson (in Blewitt's name) on the Kerr St property. She flatly denied last night in her statement that she had any recollection of her having any role in organising the mortgage for Wilson's blatantly fraudulent purchase. OK...consider this:

If Ms Gillard truly had no role in the mortgage then how is it that other documents in the publicly available conveyancing file clearly show what she has said cannot possibly be true - sourced to those documents. Not only is there the document referred to on last night's Seven Thirty Report (which records her involvement - albeit denied by her), there is also a file note on the file recording how Julia also asked for a memo on what higher interest rates would be charged on that mortgage if the mortgagee breached certain clauses. Ms Gillard asked for it in writing..and obtained the detail from her then PA.

This is significant because it proves - definitively - that Ms Gillard is not telling the truth about her supposed lack of knowledge of the mortgage at the time. She clearly knew about the mortgage and she directed the letter not to the registered owner (Blewitt) but to the real beneficiary, Bruce Wilson.

Your disgraceful attempt to use a character attack on Blewitt to discredit his evidence to Police does you no service. What you don't seem to understand is that Blewitt admits he's a crook - his sister's allegation is not something he disputes. He admits it. Now he's decided to make a clean breast of it.

You are a disgrace to your profession.
I will not be listening to you again."​

Expect some furious circling of the wagons on ALP Insiders this morning. It will go something like this: "such a bothersome, trivial, 20 year old issue. Far more important things to think about."

The ALP is on the horns of a dilemma, the parrots in the pet shops are chirping that Rudd has a better chance of winning the election.

In denial, they are standing over the grave hoping their beloved will show some signs of life.

In their defence of Labor, even Craig Thomson got praise in the talking pictures segment.

I think the ABC should find as many shonky crims as possible with allegations funded by politic enemy's of the government and repeat them continuously that way they could really lift their credibility...................with...........you!
