Has Clive Palmer gone loco?

[Julia]

I don't like to use the Hate word but if I was to hate anyone it would be that Lambie woman.
I wish she would shut up and fade away. What an assault on the senses she is.

I used to think Paul Keating was dead right when he described the Senate as "unrepresentative swill". But Lambie has successfully rendered that colourful phrase totally inappropriate. It's much too complimentary for her. She is far, far worse than unrepresentative swill.

+100. She's an embarrassment of the worst order. Even the feminazis are unlikely to offer support to this awful woman. Yuk!

This comment following one of the above links, makes an excellent point:

Imagine the outcry if a male politician made comments equivalent to Jacqui Lambie's on his wish-list for a partner.

So right. Just imagine if Tony Abbott had made such a remark!!!! (were he single, of course.)

There is a certain moral judiciary operating on ASF atm. I am distraught. By it.

It is Topless Tuesday here at the hotel, and for the benefit of investors, I am moved to portray a more liberal view of the 11 years past Virginal, fair Jacqui Lambie's ejections on talk back radio this morning.

She is a member of the PUP.

This sets a warning tone.

Does she breed tigers, dinosaurs, AK47's, or Gypsies?

Who knows.

However it is quite within the realms of reasonableness for her to seek a partner, temporarily or forever, who is rich and well endowed in testes and penis.

Particularly after an 11 year hiatus from the joys of conjugation.

It is what goyles do.

Leave her be to pursue her wants.

It makes the world go round.

It's also good to be wanted, hey GG?

I'm personally just finding enjoyment in it all. The thought police don't like her but so what.

Re Jacquie Lambie

If we want Parliament to represent a cross section of society, we have to take the bad with the good.
,
Look at Toronto and the Mayor, Boris Yeltsin etc. Every Parliament in the world probably has a Lambie equivalent somewhere.

 

[Bintang]

After 11 years on the shelf, Jacqui Lambie's looking for a man.

Well hung and lots of money are minimum requirements.

Knowing when not to speak (which is all the time) is also up there.

Must also be a keen gardener.

For a fleeting moment I thought that big Clive himself might be her perfect match. After all, he has lots of money, he is well hung girth-wise and the two of them are already in bed together. As for his gardening habits I'm not so sure but his recent mixing with the green fairies must count for something. However, he fails miserably on the third criterion. Big Clive never knows when to stop talking.

That would come down to Clive's abilities with the powered garden implements. We know what the Greens views are on slashing the natural environment.

In Jacqui's comments yesterday there's an opening for Essential Beauty. She could be their new Mary Huff. Definitely a better marketing opportunity there than for Jim's Mowing.

However, he fails miserably on the third criterion. Big Clive never knows when to stop talking.

And that's where the political relationship between those two will ultimately come to grief.

The bust up when it comes I'd suggest will be nuclear.

Having heard what Lambie said on air, I laughed coz she sounded so typically Aussie. Who've known you could mix serious politics with sleazy comedy. Oh, hang on, I mean...

I hope you continue to find enjoyment when the collective decisions of the PUP, given that they hold the balance of power in the Senate, mean you will be faced with a budget ten years down the track which is one hell of a lot worse than that to which you are so objecting now.

Perhaps we may get a government who takes from those who can afford to pay and doesn't splash money out on silly parental leave schemes and doesn't throw away revenue like the carbon tax.

Jacquie Lambie,

If a male Senator or MP said similar things about a woman, it would be a passport to electoral defeat, and you would hear the sreams of protest from the Sisterhood on the other side of the planet..


On behalf of the Brotherhood, I say how dare this person denigrate the male anatomy in such a disrespectful manner. Men are not here for the pleasure of women, we have a brain , and what's more men's brains are bigger than women's, and we deserve respect for the humble way we go about doing our jobs while living in a female dominated society.


Now excuse me, I have to go and finish the ironing. Anyone know a woman who can help me with that ?

Lets hope we don't get any more hare brain schemes like pink bats and over priced school halls.

And we don't need anymore $900 loans from that same government who splashed money around like drunken sailors.....nothing is free......we now have to pay it back over the next ten years.

Socialism is good until they run out of other peoples money.

Those were GFC minimisation schemes. If there is no GFC threat no government would contemplate such things in times of fiscal deficits.

Sooner or later Palmer is going to come unstuck and I don't think he will be any match for the Chinese and furthermore I cannot ever see him being able to do any further deals with any Chinese companies in the future.

He has blotted his copy book well and truly.

From writer Lauren Rosewarne

When Senator Jacqui Lambie - in all her unwaxed, 43-year-old glory - dared speak publicly about her own sexual interests, she was painted as a foul-mouthed hick.
The Victorian era force fed us all kinds of hokum. One of the lingering dictums is that good girls don't. Good girls, "classy" girls, well-bred and refined girls keep their knees together.

While the God-botherers, conservatives and some of those faux-feminist wowsers are still advocating such dreck, today the sane amongst us dismiss such notions as laughably repressive and egregiously controlling.

One Victorian era tenet that has stood the test of time, however, is the burden about being "ladylike" about sex. Apparently in 2014 we womenfolk can bonk with great and enthusiastic vigour but we shouldn't talk about it. We can do it, sure, but we shouldn't offer up too much detail, shouldn't harbour yearnings, shouldn't unapologetically divulge our cravings.

Not only did Jacqui Lambie break the unspoken rules of failing to shut up, but she did so on the wrong side of 30 and without sufficient levels of mainstream attractiveness needed to grant her a pass.

I am sure if they had used their common sense, the Labor Party should have been able to do twice as much with half the amount of money instead of wasting it like they did.

But of course we all know there is very little talent in the Green/Labor socialist left wing party which is principally made of ex union hacks and Green Fabians with little between the ears.

I don't know a single person who supports Mr Abbott's PPL, but remember that it's paid for not by the ordinary taxpayer but a specific tax on some big businesses.

The carbon tax was an unreasonable impost on business and households, making Australia uncompetitive in the global environment. You know that. You also know that it was forced on Gillard in order to secure the Greens' support. Had she not needed the Greens there indeed would have no carbon tax under the government she led.

All that's completely aside, however. This is about PUP. All the people who are finding them so amusing might be much less amused when the results of some of their capricious ignorance comes home to roost.

Not quite true, as I believe I have pointed out before, but will do so again

The scheme, which has been fully costed by the independent Parliamentary Budget Office, will involve a net additional cost to taxpayers of $6.1 billion over the forward estimates. That's after Mr Abbott hits 3000 of Australia's largest companies with a 1.5 per cent tax levy to pay for the scheme.

The rate went too high too fast, but the general idea was good imo.

Really?
From the very article to which you linked:

According the Parliamentary Budget Office the scheme will cost over $5 billion a year when it is fully up and running. But that cost will be offset by abolishing Labor's existing paid parental leave scheme that pays women 18 weeks leave at the minimum wage. There's also some savings around Family Tax Benefit A and B payments that would not occur if women were on baby leave.

There would be no double dipping by public servants who already have access to existing schemes and that would save money too. So once those savings are made the scheme would cost around $3.5 billion a year. That cost would be fully accounted for according to Mr Abbott by a levy on big business to pay for the scheme.

 

[SirRumpole]

Really?
From the very article to which you linked:

Oh, I'm sorry . I obviously misread the statement "NET additional cost to the taxpayer AFTER the levy on business".

The Telegraph seems confused , and who can blame them ?

But anyway, when Mr Abbott was moaning about costs to business under Labor, and then piles this on them, his credibility can only go downwards.

Julia, typical of the Fabians......they cherry pick what they want you see....never let the truth get in the way of a bit of propaganda to discredit Abbott and his Government.
