The Gillard Government

[Logique]

4.25pm: First costume change of the day. Quentin Bryce sported a bright yellow outfit at the airport, but is now decked out in bright orange with white polka dots for the official welcome. That puts here on a par with Dolly Parton during last night's concert for costume changes.
It is the same jacket outfit she wore for the Queen and Prince Philip during their recent tour. But she has mixed it up with a different skirt, just to keep things fresh.
Was it planned or did she spill some coffee on the way back from the airport? Let the theories begin...

I think Obama's decision to visit Australia and to rotate 2,500 Marines through Darwin, was something we could do without.

In his speech to the parliament, he referred to ''our new posture here in Australia'' as something that would bring the two countries' militaries closer together and allow the two nations to ''respond faster to the full range of challenges.''

And did Obama tell Gillarrd what this "full range of challenges" is?.

The way they couldn't keep their hands off each other was sickening.

Hi.
I thought the biggest betrayal in Australian politics was the removal of Kevin Rudd.
Following this the Australian voter put Gillard close enough to power, she was dragged over the line.

In the last few months the Labor party has implemented new tactics.
e.g. 1 Gillard is speaking differently.
2 Her gestures when she speaks is different.
3 On her announcement of the Uranium to India, the two Labor power brokers supported her in different media presentations.(within 24 hrs.)
4 She is taking Coalition policy"s and implementing them.

Well "hello", I do not think the voter is going to miss this.

It has been explained, "and quite clearly" that her promise was broken because of pressure from the Greens. Now we have the Bob Katter issue.

So if I was looking at the "forest and not the trees", I would say the biggest obstacle to removing Labor from power, is Tony Abbott.
Labors policy's and handling of the "mini-budget" has to be countered by Abbott "and then some".
If the Australian voter were to create history it should have removed Labor after one term. If they want to create history, then they can elect Abbott and his party.
The history would be electing a PM more unpopular than the sitting one.

The Australian voter could always change its mind on Abbott. Is that likely to happen.?

I see mention of the Labor left. If anybody thinks that the Labor left is going to take a pay cut after the next election because of "fickle" beliefs, then think again.

One thing that can be agreed is, the Qld. election will give a better outlook of the future Federal situation. And how Labor reacts to Bob Brown in the next 12 months.

Just remember the last time I went to Woolworth's I had to pay with with money.
Integrity purchased me nothing.
joea

If the Coalition was to slip to a point where it was behind Labor on 2PP for any sustained period of time, Tony Abbott as opposition leader would simply be replaced.

While you can't physically buy anything with integrity, money and integrity are not mutually exclusive as it is our political leaders that tax us and spend that money.

 

[sails]

Looks like Obama doesn't quite know what to do here - he's not putting his arm around her...

Tony Abbott can "simply" be replaced by whom?
If its simple, then there must be an obvious successor. Please enlighten us.

Turnbull is a pushover.
Hockey has no guts(political, plenty of the other).
Bishop. I do not think so.

You mention we are taxed by the political leaders. EXACTLY. And the Australian voter will be compensated by the Labor government as she has promised.
MY point is, she is over taxing us, then buying (or will), back votes by the way of compensation. Will the people see through this. She has explained it as taking it from the big miners, so the people will accept that.

Gillard has implemented two major taxes. But already there exist the legislation to do exactly that. However she is doing it in a way to bypass the states.
I still see the Qld. election as the make or break for Labor.

Maybe Abbott has a box of tricks that he is going to open. I hope so, and soon.
I get this strong feeling the Abbott camp have decided to give her a little rope to see if Labor implodes.
On a lighter note if Katter campaigns on flying fox solutions, then he should go well.

This Presidential visit was final proof of two things:

• our leftist media
• the hypocisy of the Left

Democrat President, no problem, Bob Brown as quiet as a lamb. US Marines in Darwin, how many would you like sir. US forces give the nod. Oh well, when Kristina Keneally is the Member for Kingsford Smith, she may adopt a more consistent line.

Quavering voice and sycophantic pawing, let's not highlight that.

Contrast with the visit of President Bush to PM Howard, where we saw Bob Brown using the Australian Parliament like a petulant schoolboy.

 

[Calliope]

While Gillard gazed at Obama with rapturous eyes she probably didn't enjoy his espousal of the freedoms.

"Certain rights are universal, among them freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and the freedom of citizens to choose their own leaders," the US President told our legislators.

"These are not American rights or Australian rights or Western rights. They are human rights. They stir in every soul."

Julia is a bit iffy on some of those freedoms...especially freedom of the press and freedom of speech. And of course we didn't chose our own leader. Brown, Oakeshott and Windsor did that for us.

She knows he doesn't really mean it.

Once again the facts overwhelm Leftist propaganda, but don't hold your breath waiting for an apology, and certainly not from Helen Caldicott, described in the article as an "anti-nuke hysteric", who must have been beside herself at such a serendipitous opportunity, or so she thought.

http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/
After all that irresponsible and despicable fear-mongering, the New Scientist reports the comforting facts:
The fallout from the radiation leak at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor in Japan may be less severe than predicted.
Radiology researcher Ikuo Kashiwakura of Hirosaki University, Japan, and colleagues responded immediately to the disaster, travelling south to Fukushima prefecture to measure radiation levels in more than 5000 people there between 15 March and 20 June.

They found just 10 people with unusually high levels of radiation, but those levels were still below the threshold at which acute radiation syndrome sets in and destroys the gastrointestinal tract.

Geiger-counter readings categorised all others in the area at a “no contamination level”.

 

[Knobby22]

Logique, You are reading Andrew Bolt and he is practising his normal distortion skills.
I am not anti-nuclear but to suggest the incident is minor and not worth worrying about is pure bunkum. I feel sorry for the Japanese.

Only 5000 were tested and 1 on 500 had high radiation levels. Wouldn't you consider that bad!!

I would also suggest that the ones that did get their gastrointestinal tract damaged were in hospital getting treated, not walking around waiting to be random tested.

Also radiation builds up over time as you ingest it. Do you think they would get the same results now? Do you think cancer rates might increase due to the disaster?

Don't let the facts overwhelm rightist propaganda either. I wouldn't eat any food produced anywhere near that area and I take my food seriously!

 

[demiser]

Also radiation builds up over time as you ingest it.

Radiation does not build up over time, however both the damage radiation causes, as well as the radioactive material itself can be accumulative. This of course varies greatly with the type of radioactive material, as some material the body might keep, other material will just be expelled in the usual fashion. This also does not take into consideration any of the radioactive material that humans need as part of a healthy diet (iodine, potassium, radon, etc), or the different properties (half life, strength, type of ionising radiation) that the material might have.

Now by no means am I saying it is healthy to be nuked, and I'm not advocating that we all start eating radioactive material by the hand full, HOWEVER, a lot of the radiation we have been seeing (if the reports can be believed) are not dangerous, and you would get a higher exposure from having an x-ray taken. All of the above then further pales into comparison when comparing against something like a CT scan.

I wouldn't eat any food produced anywhere near that area and I take my food seriously!

As stated above, a lot of healthy fruit and veg should be radioactive to some extent, it's when it's not, that I'd start to worry, and question how good it actually is for you.

Don't let the facts overwhelm rightist propaganda either.

As you read these posts, I hope for your sake that you don't have a laptop sitting on your lap. If you do, I can pm you a link to a guy that sells lead under pants and foil hats.

In all serious though, although radiation can be hazardous, for a member of the general public, there are a lot of other things I'd want to be worried about first.

.

the Left Vs Right paradigm is pre-fabricated rubbish! the reality should be citizen Vs authority

the rothschilds banking dynasty funded the bolshevic revolution (communist Left) in order to plunder the romanov royal fortune that was convieiently invested in their banks

the rothschild banking system funded hitlers national socialist party (nazi Right) through one of their minions, the warburg banking family, at the same time they funded the allies. max warburg was also the cheif of the german secret police!

as a side note the rockefeller family also supported hitler through standard oil funding & sharing technology (oil from coal) to fuel the nazi war machine.

off topic i know but its good to know your real enemy! left Vs Right is just a myth to keep the people divided so as to keep their attention from the true villians who have been causing global chaos through-out history.

No wonder Timmy walked back to the lodge after watching Obama and Gillard kissing and cuddling every time they met. He was either disgusted or a little jealous maybe.

Geez, I hope Timmy went to Bali. Michelle is back in Washington.

 

[bandicoot76]

a follow on from my earlier LvR post..... i'm just sayin!


1848: Karl Marx, an Ashkenazi Jew, publishes, "The Communist Manifesto." Interestingly at the same time as he is working on this, Karl Ritter of Frankfurt University was writing the antithesis which would form the basis for Freidrich Wilhelm Nietzsche's, "Nietzscheanism." This Nietzecheanism was later developed into Fascism and then into Nazism and was used to forment the first and second world wars.

Marx, Ritter, and Nietzsche were all funded and under the instruction of the Rothschilds. The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences in those two so-called ideologies to enable them to divide larger and larger factions of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other, and particularly, to destroy all political and religious institutions. The same plan put forward by Weishaupt in 1776.

No coalitition leader has to be perfect as Labor is far from perfect.

You mention we are taxed by the political leaders. EXACTLY. And the Australian voter will be compensated by the Labor government as she has promised.
MY point is, she is over taxing us, then buying (or will), back votes by the way of compensation. Will the people see through this. She has explained it as taking it from the big miners, so the people will accept that.

Will voters trust the compensation on a carbon tax that she said she would not introduce before the election ?

Rember too that for many, the compensation is partial or not at all and with the intention of the carbon tax to rise, it's real value reduced over time.

Gillard has implemented two major taxes. But already there exist the legislation to do exactly that. However she is doing it in a way to bypass the states.

The mining tax in its present form was a quick political fix.

There are question marks over what it will raise (in the media) and the states can erode its base by increasing royalties.

I still see the Qld. election as the make or break for Labor.

Maybe Abbott has a box of tricks that he is going to open. I hope so, and soon.

I did dee a media report late last week about Julia Gillard calling a snap poll for Feb next year.

I can't find it as Google will no longer search news articles (at least on my PC).

Well it is better that they do it through banking, than the old fashioned way, which was sword, rifle, artillery, tank, or missile.... take your pick.

I'd rather bankers...

Timmy to do Michelle's hair like the movie "There's something about Mary"
