The Gillard Government

This is an excellent way to launder money.

We vote in 101 days. The favourite is paying $1.01

If you have, say, $100,000 of black economy $100 bills under your mattress, this is a surefire way to launder it. Take the bundle to Sportingbet and put the lot on The Coalition. On Sept 15 they will give you a cheque for $101,000, which you can then safely deposit in your bank account.:cautious:
 
Labor are in the poo big time and deservedly so.

What can they do?

Rudd - a waste of space only interested in himself. A delusional peacock.

Shorten - bombastic union thug. A narcissist through and through.

Crean and Ferguson - old wise heads that may be able to pull the shattered pieces of whats left.

Problem is that Ferguson is leaving parliament! Says it all really.

My 2c - think they will bring Bowen in to stem the bleeding. Vic goons brought the ALP Gillard so not sure how Shorten can extricate himself.

This thread needs to be changes - there is no way you could call this irrelevant rabble a 'government'. The worst PM ever and these independents must be wishing they had never broken bread with her.

Yawn, 3 months to go ...

This sentence epitomises why they are so out of touch: "What the Australian public want from us is us to get on with the job."

WRONG: What the Australian public wants is an election sooner rather than later so we can get rid of the goons once and for all.:banghead:

Yes I saw that, she's been getting on with the job for years, what job I'm not sure of, burning money and stuffing things up I guess. I don't think we want any more of her understanding of "getting on with the job" any more we want her to get on with the job of vacating the Lodge.

Also Kevin sent a message, "how's that getting the Labor party back on track thing going Julia ?"
 
The Libs should erect a bronze of Gillard outside Parliament house inscribed.

"With thanks to Julia Gillard for ensuring Lib rule for the next 10 years at least"

Ha ha, yes a gift from the gods for the Libs and for those running Union slush funds.
 
Be ready for a barrage of boss-bashing ACTU ads starting tonight on The Origin broadcast.

Andrew Bolt asks;

Why are there still bastard bosses after years of the most pro-union Labor Government in decades? What more does the ACTU want from this lot?

I suppose they have to waste their members' money and slush funds on something.:rolleyes:
 
I can believe what Pickering has reported today

SOMEONE'S ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
Larry Pickering

someones asleeep at the wheel.jpg

As illegal immigration becomes the major election issue, a culture of indifference by authorities as to who enters our borders has slowly emerged. Here’s just one reason why... explained by one of many exasperated AFP whistle-blowers.

“Giving them phones was an expensive way to discover who they are but if they arrived by boat without any form of ID it was really the only way we had”, according to the AFP officer. “But now it’s all gone wrong!”

Millions of dollars spent on supplying phones and paying for calls (up to $20,000 a quarter for a single male detainee) has allowed ASIO to track their contacts via conversations and texts back to family members.

“ ...they got smart, they used coded messages, but by using interpreters we could mostly figure out what they were saying... well, that’s when we could trust the interpreters.

“Some of them spent 8 hours every day on the phone and we needed a full-time person plus an interpreter for each detainee to try to unscramble it all”, said the officer who spent 18 months at a major detention centre.

He asked that I not name the centre.

There was frustration and hopelessness in his demeanour as he explained the process in past tense:

“Sometimes we knew they were up to no good but if we knocked them back they just used the appeals process to have our security rulings overturned.

"It was almost impossible to legally prove intent when they talked in coded stuff and in different dialects. Now it’s just one big mess. Everyone’s given up.

"These guys are too smart and we have made it easier for them.”

Was frustration the reason he asked for a transfer?
“Yeah, it’s a crazy system. These guys threw any ID they had overboard knowing it would take us months, even years, to discover who they were and in the meantime they were allowed to live in our suburbs on bridging visas with 89% of the Newstart allowance and all sorts of other ****.

“The worst part is when we know there’s something dodgy about a detainee but we can’t legally prove it. We have to ignore it or we get tied up with one guy in an appeals tribunal instead of rushing to try to process the thousands of waiting arrivals before they get released on these damned bridging visas.

“It’s reached a stage now that, unless you were Osama bin Laden’s Imam, they will wave you through. There’s just too many of them.”

It appears from many other sources of information, the processing of illegal immigrants has become nigh impossible and those responsible for border control have all but given up.

It’s another classic case of throwing voluminous amounts money at a problem and simply walking away from it.

Deceiving our security protocols has become an Islamic art form.

Cell phones might have been a bright idea initially but with tens of thousands used for free calls to each other, and back to their countries of origin, they now know more about us than we do about them.

Immigration has built Australia, we need it and welcome it but we must know who our immigrants are.

The moneyed Islamists have discovered a way to reside here, unidentified, while destitute, legitimate refugees sit rotting and starving in cages in Malaysia.

You can forget Labor’s museum of other disasters, unless this one is fixed soon we better start looking for another island.
 
Labor MPs Alan Griffin and Daryl Melham pack up their offices ahead of election

Two former Labor frontbenchers have packed up their Parliament House offices, but deny it is a sign they have given up all hope of retaining their seats at the next federal election.

Alan Griffin and Daryl Melham have told the ABC they have not given up, but have confirmed they have packed up their offices in case they lose their seats on September 14.

Makes me think of the theme from Rawhide............

Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope and throw and grab 'em,
Soon we'll be living high and wide.


Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!
