The Gillard Government

[wayneL]

WOW what a rant.

He seemed to be more aggrieved by the SA gu'mint though?

I thought SA was La Dolce Vita.

I see Parliament is back.

The mute button destined for another workout. Especially on the rouge Usurper and Gregory Ivan.

Roll on the 22nd and the 'carban' rally (no spell checker on that computer).

A fine rant from a bloke called Gary on 5AA the other day.

Thank you for posting this. It's well worth a listen.

He's not entitled to whinge. He voted Labor.

Ha Doc, this Green/Labor socialist left wing government are sure desperate to stay in power. Apart from the fact Thompson used his credit card for escort services, he has accepted union money paid for out of union members fees. I wonder how the members feel about this misappropriation of funds to pay for his legal costs for a defamation case of which he did not proceed.

I was about to post a similar link fron the Australian.

Can Gillard save his skin? Just have to wait for the court results in October

Here is a bit more on Labor's bail out of Thompson to stop him going bankrupt. Who really did paid for it?

Snug in the luvvies cocoon, they seem to think they can get away with anything.

.."Is the prime minister satisfied that it is proper for the Australian Labor Party to contribute some $90,000 towards the member's private defamation action against Fairfax," he told the chamber.

Senator Brandis said Mr Thomson abandoned the court action shortly after the court compelled the disclosure of his credit card and telephone records.

How can she possibly continue to assert that he is doing, in her words, "a fine job"?..

 

[dutchie]

If nothing else this government brings comic relief.

Nearly every day I am kept amused by the utterances and deeds of this joke of a government.

(pity the entry fee to this comedy act is so high and still climbing)

How many more ways can Abbott come up with to make himself look foolish?

TONY Abbott says Labor MP Craig Thomson is being protected by a "desperate" Julia Gillard, but has refused to say if he would sack one of his own MPs in similar circumstances.

I don't understand why he does not focus his response to such questions on the fact that it's currently Labor in the hot seat on this.

 

[noco]

Here is a good reason why Thompson withdrew his defamation case. He feared the truth would expose him. No wonder Gillard was keen to bail him out.

[finnsk]

I can`t believe that anybody with commonwealth credit card, can get away with, using it on personal use.

 

[sptrawler]

It must depend on how important you are?

Well noco, he is going to have trouble saying someone else rang the brothel, that is unless it was the same person who forged his name and stole his card.LOL

I think Thompson is going to find himself up the proverbial creek without a paddle,

Maybe an election before Xmas and the end of the carbon (dioxide)tax.

Hopefully the truth will be revealed in the Thompson saga!

To change the subject slightly ...5 great sentences.

1 You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2 What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3 The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4 When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care for them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of a nation.

and one from Maggie Thatcher.

Socialism fails when it runs out of other people's money....!!!!!!!!

Well I say Julia Gillard your time is up.
