Probably he had a better day than the Lib SA Opposition leader who urged people to vote for the Labor party

The next day for him I'd suggest was worse.

That one-word slip I'd suspect cost his party a majority seat result as at the conclusion of counting last night.

I watched Bill Shorten on Sky News today and I could not believe what he said and I quote,

"I BELIEVE IN GOD". unquote.

This bloke is a Fabian (communist) just like Gillard.........All Fabians are atheists........this Shorten wants two bob each way just to attract votes.

Outrageous slander!
Are you on medication Noco?
Are you the same contributor that believed that Greenland was named because it was green?

Absolutely agree. Noco is Christopher Pine in my view. A very nascistic piece of work. Unfortunately it is some time till the next election when they will be cast to the sewer.

Shorten is a sensitive lateral thinker who is endevouring to bring consensis and justice to as many people overall as possible.

However to counter the cold line of supporting the policies of business expansionism over a fair go Shorten seems lost. Big business is no longer productive to rank and file people. It is about making money by skinning the labour (worker content) to the bone. Karl Marx was correct in his take but out in timing. However that time has arrived and my heart feels sorrow for the younger generation who are increasingly having to beg, borrow or steal to survive. Or hit the ice of course.

Tony Bourke is one who seems to have the fire and the required sense of fair play.

On matters of beg, borrow or steal to survive.

Illegal drug use is not an essential for survival or for that matter, a healthy and rewarding life.

Bill Shorten is trying to be everything to everyone. He has lots of questions but no answers himself. It's a trait of opposition that is (unfortunately) typical at this stage of the electoral cycle but he and his party have taken it to a new level.

+1.
And, given the mention of Christopher Pyne above, at least he is making an attempt to improve the basic literacy and numeracy in our schools.
explod, what does 'nascistic' mean?

drsmith · 26 October 2014

Could the following be Labor's greatest backflip since Bill Shorten briefly resurrected Kevin Rudd from the political grave after first handing Julia Gillard the weapon to slaughter his prime-mininstership in the first place ?

He is not PM material. Mathias Cormann hit the nail on the head.

Hi Julia

It means i cannot spell nor check it when writing from a small phone on the train. Just hoped to paint the vibe.

I could not but have a chuckle about you branding me "NASCISTIC".....upon looking up the Oxford dictionary, I could not find any such word so I do not know what you think I am....I have also heard of a Christopher Pyne but not a Christopher Pine.

But whatever it may mean, i would only take it as some slur on my Character and as I pointed out on another thread when the lefties don't like to hear the truth, they resort the cheap tactics of Character assassination.

I emphasis again, a true Fabian cannot be a believer in God....All Fabians and Communists have only one religion and that is Socialism....all other religions do not exist.

Fabians are, according to their own symbolism, wolves in sheep’s clothing, and that explains why their style is more effective in countries where parliamentary traditions are well established and where people expect to have a voice in their own political destiny.

Leninists, on the other hand, tend to be wolves in wolf’s clothing, and their style is more
effective in countries where parliamentary traditions are weak and where people are used to dictatorships anyway.

In countries where parliamentary traditions are strong, the primary tactic for both of these groups is to send their agents into the power centers of society to capture control from the inside. Power centers are those organizations and institutions that represent all the politically influential segments of society. These include labor unions, political parties, church organizations, segments of the media, educational institutions, civic organizations, financial institutions, and industrial corporations, to name just a few. In a moment, I am going to read a partial list of members of an organization called the Council on Foreign Relations, and you will recognize that the power centers these people control are classic examples of this strategy.

Chiff is there any need for you to be facetious?

Although well off the theme of this thread, I thought I would attempt to educate you on the history of Greenland.

Once upon a time, Greenland grazed sheep and cattle and grew crops and traded there produce until a mini ice age set in around the 17th and 18th century, hence the name Greenland.

Some thousands of years ago the Earth was 5 degrees C warmer than it is today and according to scientist very little ice existed on Greenland.

I hope I have been of some help to you.

A lot of people didn't think Abbott was PM material.

They were right.

The polls will be different shortly when voters learn how this nut case Shorten is going to open the smuggler trade again.

I mean the man must have rocks in his head......he will be committing political suicide if he brings back the Rudd open border policy.

Now Bill, the Chinese are putting a tariff on coal ....not iron ore.

You should do some more home work or did the dog eat it?

And this bloke wants to be Prime Minister.

And you can bet your boots the ABC will remain silent......If it had been Abbott, the ABC would have been all over it.

It will be interesting to see if Shorten and the Labor Party, back the Coalition push to cut back 'perks'.

The superannuation and other 'perks' to ex politicians are unbelivably generous, when compared to what average Australians get.

It seems fair and reasonable that they are toned down, to at least be understandable, free flights around the country "why".

Hopefully Bill can practice what he preaches and helps push through the cuts.
