The topic is about ALP lack of humour. The leftie posters on this thread are so devoid of humour that they try to compensate by slinging dirt. You continually breach the Code of Conduct. You have a charmed life.

Federal Member for the Sunshine Coast, Peter Slipper isn't it?

Now that is funny, who says the left supporters don't have a sense of humour?

As I said, your contributions lack humour but have plenty of dirt and bile;

Personally I think it was unfair to compare Tony Abbott to a turd...a huge insult to a turd if ever there was one

Tony Abbott is being lambasted for an off the cuff remark this morning on 3AW, about the Italian cruise ship disaster.

Yes there is nothing like the Labor party talking all the political correct crap. While they knife each other in the back, reminds me of the old union meetings. Where we were all brothers untill someone disagreed, then they were told ' it is funny how a bag of bolts can fall on people at any time' :D

Actually eager, further to Julias comments, I would say that a lot of share posters are only posting on the "General Chat" thread due to no obvious direction on the share market.
Most of this lack of confidence in the Aust share market is due to the add hock government and it's illogical decision making process.
You may find it funny but I certainly don't, how our market is underperforming most others, when we have the 'Worlds' greatest treasurer and the most robust economy.
All it can come down to is most Australians don't believe, or don't have confidence in them.
You can try and put any spin you like on it, but generally Australians don't like the government.
Also if Julia believed her own spin she would put it to the test with an election. Rather than flying all over the country to grovel to Wilkie, what a joke, it's a lot more reportable than Abbotts of the cuff remark.
It really is about time that Julia put her credentials on the line and asked for the Australian publics support. Just blindly forging on with her motley crew and everyone having to 'suck it up' is wearing thin.

I think your spin outdoes mine 10 to 1! :eek:

At least you admit that the economy is robust - are you telling me that as soon as Abbott is elected you will hock yourself to the hilt to re-enter the market? Global matters aside, it is obviously the Chicken Littles of the world that are holding the sharemarket back. There are plenty of good quality, cheap companies out there at the moment with good prospects, but negative people can't see the wood for the trees. I'm making plenty out of the market at the moment (on paper at least I am easily outperforming the all ords), so why aren't you?

This is the "General Chat" thread. The "General Chat" thread includes a number of political threads.
There are thousands of other posts in hundreds of other threads. The comment is not worthy of you, Eager.

When Libs are elected I am sure it will have a positive effect on market and consumer confidence, but I don't need to hock myself to enter the market. By the way I still have 20% in. As for easily outperforming the market a 6% term deposit would have easily outperformed the market since Labor got in.LOL

Even the notoriously left wing Guardian doesn't find Costa Concordia jokes inappropriate.

Abbott's remark wasn't inappropriate. His apology was a mistake.

Thanks Calliope,

A quote from the Guardian article, illustrating that metaphor and comment is considered fine, unless you are a wussy Green/ALP basketweaver, by people of passion and thought.

The nomenclatura now rule the ALP. All thought and comment comes through a politically correct colander, strained like cabbage to give a weak-hued insipid soup.


He was talking about Scottish independence. Another columnist in the same paper applied the image back to Italy: "Why the cruise ship tragedy reminds me of Berlusconi". And so it goes: across Europe, the wrecking of a cruise ship has instantly come to be an image of everything from the floundering European economy, to troubled Italy, to the tides and eddies of British politics.

As far as I know, none of this commandeering of a human tragedy for metaphorical purposes has been condemned as inappropriate or offensive. In 1987 a Conservative minister, Nicholas Ridley, had to apologise after he made a reference in parliament to his bow doors not being open, soon after the Herald of Free Enterprise capsized and killed 193 people. In retrospect, his remark was perhaps as inevitable as the symbolic transformations of the Costa Concordia. Ships have been among humanity's most powerful images for thousands of years and it is as if we are hardwired by collective memory to find meaning in everything that concerns them. When a French naval ship, the Medusa, ran aground in 1816 and many of those aboard drifted helplessly on a raft, most of them dying, it was seen as a symbol of political malaise and recorded as an event of profound tragic significance in Gericault's painting The Raft of the Medusa.

(to sptrawler) Well, I'M flying.

I feel sorry for you; you must dread getting up every morning, only to face the prospect of another bleak day in this horrible, horrible country.

Please tell me where you would prefer to live.

In the meantime, because I am such a compassionate person, here is a link that you, and all the other conservatives with no nurries, might find handy: http://www.lifeline.org.au/

Exactly. Or better still, more than 6% at call online. Ubank are still offering 6.11%.
