The very worst of SHY

Proudly brought to us by the legacy of the previous government's border security ideology.

Episode 1: Shock and horror. Drama series on TV are not real.

Sarah Hanson "WATER MELON" Young is so desperate to discredit the OSB in trying to relate it to the TV show 'BORDER CNTROL"........She is one very mixed up young lady.

Minister Morrison should ask her "is she not happy that we have stopped the boats and perhaps saved many lives in doing so".....Is she not happy that 4 detention centres have already been closed with a saving of $88 million to the tax payers.......what on earth is she trying to prove?

 

[drsmith]

what on earth is she trying to prove?

She's trying to prove OSB is dead. That after all was her proclamation after the Indonesian spying accusations surfaced.

Even though it's more alive than ever, she through her ideology can't resist prodding it. The more she does, the harder it will kick her in return.

Yep. Should put it to her like this. ' We saw you sobbing in parliament over people drowning at sea trying to get to Australia. Why aren't you now openly celebrating the lack of recent drownings. Why are you not supporting the policies that have stopped the drownings.'

 

[drsmith]

Why are you not supporting the policies that have stopped the drownings.'

If video exists and can be posted, that will be Episode 2: Accidents happen.

Greens to move motion to remove Lord's Prayer in favour of 'silent reflection'

The Lord's Prayer will be put on the parliamentary chopping block on Thursday and replaced with silent reflection, if the Greens have their way.

Greens spokesman on multiculturalism, Richard Di Natale, will move a motion in the upper house on Thursday morning to refer the prayer to the Senate's Procedure Committee.

Senator Di Natale's motion will ask the committee to consider amending section 50 of the Senate's standing orders to replace the prayer with the following:

''Senators, let us in silence pray or reflect upon our responsibilities to the people of Australia, to the States and Territories which we represent, and to all future generations.''

This text is based on what the ACT legislative assembly says at the start of its sitting days.

Federal parliament has been reciting prayers at the start of each sitting day since 1901 – a practice that Senator Di Natale argues is an ''anachronism'' in today's multicultural Australia and a breach of church-state separation.
Senator Di Natale first announced his plan to get rid of the Lord's Prayer last month, while Christine Milne was on leave and he was acting Greens leader.

With all that has been going on with Abbott and his broken promises, Shorten and his trying to break away from the union hold and Clive Palmer out poaching LNP members of parliament, the Greens are sitting back thankful they are not in the lime light.

However, they may regret speaking out about how cruel Abbott is in taxing the rich when in recent times Christine Milne and Adam Brandt have been advocating a bigger hit on the rich.......What pair of hypocrites.

Yes poor old Christine is starting to send mixed messages.
First she wants higher taxes on the wealthy, why didn't she introduce them when in power with Labor?

Now Abbott wants a levy on the wealthy, she is going to oppose it, because it should be a permanent tax increase. She is looking stupid.IMO

Greens to move motion to remove Lord's Prayer in favour of 'silent reflection'

One of the few good ideas the Greens have put forward of late. Compelling parliamentarians to listen to such a recital is a useless religious ritual that does not seem to improve their behaviour in parliament and of course it never will.

The passage of the deficit levy is being hand-balled by the Greens to Bill Shorten and Labor. It's their constituency from which the Greens attract most of their votes.

The Australian is now firmly has the deficit levy commencing at an annual income of $180k.

Listening to Chris Bowen on ABC, Labor will let this one through.

The GP visit co-payment of $7 and fuel levy indexation is a different story. With the latter, I can see the government pounding them over the carbon tax.

Yes, with the carbon tax, it was going to be applied to fuel this year, from memory.

Surely with the revelation this evening that the $7 fee for previously bulk billed consultations will partly fund a medical research fund, the opposition to this should be at least partly resolved.
I think it's a great idea.

IMO, Abbott and Hockey have set a bit of a trap for Labor, they will look like the children in opposition. Just being able to poke their tonques out and say, you broke a promise, isn't going to cut it, they will look foolish.

Clever budget,IMO

Ha, sounds familiar.

It must be very galling for the Green's to watch Palmer and his PUPS getting so much media publicity these days.
Even when it's bad publicity for Palmer it still keeps the Greens out of the 'limelight'. Collectively the Greens must be experiencing a version of ADD - Attention Deprivation Disorder. That might explain how they finally managed to get themselves onto the front page of The Australian with this:

Where are the Greens?

Why aren't they out there protesting about the loss of bird life to these useless ugly win farms?

You can bet your boots if the Government considered a dam in the area, the Greens would be out there protesting about the rare green frogs Rf the furry red nosed wombats will be lost.

OMG....WHAT A MOB OF HYPOCRITES..
