I love Julias response "honest I knew nothing about it ,also Tony's negative and takes things too far".
Tony's not negative, Tony's positive your camp caused the riot and if anyone went too far it would be your sacked P.R man.
There is nothing wrong with the thickness of her hide.LOL

 

[sptrawler]

I think this riot issue will have a lot further to run.
The more time passes, the more Tony will see leverage.
The problem with ideas blowing up in your face, is the cover up has to be quickly concieved. Then statements are made that can be tested, it should all be fun to watch.

Can someone remind me when we suggested( I think it was a Shorten quote) that this was going to be the way to sort out Australian wages. Also the guy that was dropped from the reserve bank board, eluded to it. I can't find the posts.
Anyway this is the go.

The only good thing is the retirees can relax a bit, wages aren't going to keep cranking up and devaluing your savings. hallelujah IMO

I would chase through and find them but my 2gig download cap is running out. LOL

Are you thinking of Warwick McKibbin? He was dumped because he spoke out where appropriate against the government. Big loss to the RB board imo.

Yes Julia, he is the guy, when he was interviewed not long after his dumping he suggested there was a push to import cheap labour for the mine jobs.
Well in my opinion this smacks of paving the way, "you can't say it is o.k to bring in workers for $hit jobs. But then say it is not o.k to bring in workers for high payed jobs we can't fill"
Bit of labor rope the dope happening, but that's o.k, because if Tony tried to do it the $hit would hit the fan.
The unions would shut the country down, maybe us retirees should say nothing and let nature take its course.
Sounds like a winner to me.

... maybe us retirees should say nothing and let nature take its course

It would be a mistake to assume that anything we retirees, or our detractors, say on these pages could in any way influence the body politic. We just preach to the converted.

Whose the liar...Gillard or Sattler?

But Ms Sattler, a staunch Labor Party supporter and secretary of Unions ACT, said she was "the messenger who is being shot" and that she had only repeated information given to her by Ms Gillard's then press secretary, Tony Hodges.
"I spoke to Tony Hodges on the phone," Ms Sattler told the Sunday Herald Sun.
"He mentioned that Tony Abbott had made a statement about the embassy, that it shouldn't exist at all."
Sattler said: "He (Hodges) said, 'You might want to get someone to respond to that'. He said, 'By the way, he is next door at the Lobby at the function'."
Ms Gillard yesterday insisted Mr Hodges had not passed on false rumours Mr Abbott wanted the Aboriginal tent embassy torn down.

Will we have the truth revealed or will there be another cover up by this cheating lying Prime Minister.

She cannot be trusted to tell the truth.

An important question that must be asked about the Gillard Government, must be
" Is it fit to lead Australia? "

This last few days peek-a-boo into the inner workings of the Prime Minister's Office would have to beg an answer in the negative.

Would you trust this government with the Defence of Australia?

Would you trust this government with the Education of our Children and youth?

Would you trust this government with the Health of the Nation?

Would you trust this government with ensuring the integrity of our Borders?

Would you trust this government with Taxation and Spending?

Would you trust this government with Infrastructure and Communications?

Would you trust this government with Agriculture, Mining and Development?

Would you trust this government with Caring for the Needy and the Aged?

The answer for me is a resounding NO.

Good heavens GG,

They can't even manage their own mischief out of the PM's office.

Well it looks as though it is on the move.

The staffers are always going to try it on, it isn't the exclusive preserve of any one party.

The real story is how the militant wing of the Aboriginal lobby was so easily manipulated, and it confirmed many of my suspicions. Fortunately, there are good people, Noel Pearson and Bess Price to name two, who are starting to look past the dogma of the inner city luvvies, to a better, non-victimized future for Aboriginal people.

This is an interesting article, wonder where super is going. Wonder what gem labor is going to come up with here. They have upped the pension age to 67, dropped what you can put in. I suppose all that's left is force you to spend it all before you get any pension. Priceless

Julia and Tony together yesterday.

THE Australian Federal Police say there is no evidence a criminal offence occurred in the disclosure of Tony Abbott's whereabouts by one of the Prime Minister's staffers ahead of the Australia Day tent embassy riot.

The AFP ruling today is a rebuff to the opposition, which has called for a police investigation into the role of Julia Gillard's office in sparking the ugly scenes involving Aboriginal protesters.

Tony Hodges was only doing his job. He was the darling of the press gallery, who depended on him to keep them up-to-date on the "Blame Tony Abbott" dirt file.

They were so dependent on him that they lapped up with relish his story that Abbott wanted to tear down the black embassy.

 

[drsmith]

If that image is indeed from yesterday, he doesn't look too unhappy about losing his job.

The original caption in the SMH said it was yesterday. This has now been changed. Hodges future with the ALP has now been assured. He will go on to bigger and better jobs at taxpayers' expense.

Yes Calliope, that is exactly what I stated on my post 2262.

He is the scape goat and will not be forgotten by dear Juliar.

Just as Harry Jenkins was the sacrificial lamb to save her hide before dumping Andrew Wilkie. She and Albanese planned the whole thing back as far as August 2011.
