The ScoMo Government

Jump to new

Fan of Julie Bishops ? I think she did a very good job as Foreign Minister. Overall I believed she was a good politician for the Liberal party and for Parliament as a whole.

I am aware of her role as Managing Director of Clayton Utz. I agree that was an ugly situation. Perhaps I take the view that the perfect is the enemy of the good.
 
Julie was great, just not a quick enough thinker to take the top job.
But she is one who can walk away with her head held high, not all can do that.
 
I'm sure she will get a job as ambassador to somewhere. She'll probably replace either Hockey or Downer.

Yes, he seemed like the quiet under the radar type, seems he came up to periscope depth.lol
However it is nice to know, you had respect for him, I'm sure he will feel a lot better knowing that.
There isn't many in politics I have respect for, only the ones that say what they believe, and not many do that.
 
Alan Jones said that Julie Bishop only rang him to announce her intention to stand for Leader at 11.55pm the night before the vote. Jones said he told Bishop "sorry Julie, all the votes are now taken" (it's too late). That why she only got 11 votes.

Still, her past is a great concern.
 
Alan Jones was rooting for Dutto - personally I think Jones should just run for a seat himself.
 
From what I have seen of Alan Jones, he couldn't win a kick in a street fight.
These opinionated journos, just feed the chooks. IMO

He's Australia's most respected Broadcaster!!!

Well, that's the spiel 2GB spew.

How can a member of a Political party, and sounds like number cruncher for the Party be allowed to be a Broadcaster.
 
See that is what I don't like about journalists, and I haven't read the Guardian, but what ifocus posted tells me all about the Guardian.
I am no more a fan of Abbott, than any other politician, but I can't stand the abuse he cops.
I am yet to see anyone post any footage of media outburst, that shows Abbott to be what the media have portrayed.
I remember reading once a behind the scenes media assistant said, if you like Kevin Rudd don't meet him, you will hate him.
If you hate Tony Abbott, don't meet him, you will like him.
Well just from what I've seen on the tv I can understand that.
But most wont agree, and I respect that, everyone to their own.
 
Like I said, I didn't hear him being abusive, rude or a mysoginist.
I didn't say he wasn't a goose, or that he was articulate, but I haven't heard him being accused of that.
Like I said, the public are chooks, they believe anything the moronic press put out.
 

What are you on about......do you ever read what people post
It goes on about Abbott being full of $hit from what I saw
 
I suppose that is the difference between us Bas, I don't have to read the paper to know what it's bias will be, I just had to look at the heading.
As I said I have watched Abbott on the t.v and am yet to see him be anything other than thoughtfully and very measured.
Yet the journalists have a pent up hate for him, are you going to tell me, there was anything flattering, curtious or in anyway respectful in the article?
The World has been taken over by passive aggressive, people hiding behind keyboards. IMO
That is why I'm thrilled some are being taken to task.
 
The most obvious sign are the pictures usually attached to the article.not smiling or standard picture, just horrible snapshot taken out of context, any rictus is a winner
And for the ones you favour, wisdom family portrait...
Pathetic..
