Useless Labor Party

But in all fairness, I do believe the coalition in opposition at the time had good reason to oppose some of Green/Labor's outlandish proposals where money was wasted.......it was done in the nations best interest, however, it made no difference because Rudd/Gillard/Rudd had a majority in the senate.

The Green/Labor opposition today are opposing measure to bring the budget under control which in my mind is not in the best interest of the nation.

No doubt the LNP have some good strategies, but their tactics in implementing those strategies is rather poor it seems. The LNP did support many Rudd/Gillard bills, but as usual the press were only interested in the conflict side of things as they probably continue to be.

My guess is that if the LNP politicians, who really want to get things done, manage to coerce there senior members into dropping the blame game and negotiating as mature adults with the ALP, things might just turn around and the public might actually start to get behind the plan....whatever that is?

Some people ask, when are we going to stop blaming Labor for the fiscal situation we find ourselves in?

I guess it will be, when the reperocussions of their poor knee jerk policies, stop rolling in.:D

What else could we expect from a party run by ex union hacks with only a half a brain between the lot of them.

We will be paying for their mistakes for years to come........6 years of disgraceful socialist economic mismanagement will be another 10 years of hard labour for the taxpayers to pay back the credit card.
 
Yes, I saw that too, Knobby, and was going to mention it in the election thread.

This is the problem that people keep forgetting, that they spend, and by the time the Libs get there, they have no money.

Labor are hopeless, and with Greens on their heels.

Senator Nova Peris sought taxpayers’ money to help her to carry out a ‘freaky’ extra-marital sexual tryst with Olympic medallist Ato Boldon

Julia's pathetic reign continues to cost us money.

Great Captains Pick!

And Shorten would not comment....if it had been a female Liberal Senator, Shorten would have been calling for her scalp....... What a weakling he is......a coward would perhaps be more fitting.
 
I didn't support Julia Gillard's dumping of Trish Crossin to make way for Peris as her "captain's pick", but I question the publishing of her emails.

I'm not clear as to what she has actually done wrong (other than behave in an embarrassing manner).
From a brief reading of the article, her paramour did actually fulfil the function he was paid for.

Politics is a very dirty business, but shouldn't there be a point where such personal expression is allowed to remain private? She is hardly the first person to engage in an extra-marital liaison and won't be the last.

I have no idea how good at her job Ms Peris is, but that is what should interest the public, not the salacious details of some tawdry affair.

The LNP are hardly the paragons of virtue when it comes to their pinky bits. One would have to go a long way to outdo cramming testicles in a wine glass and publishing the pic. :D

I guess it is a fact of life when you are in eye of the public, you have to keep your nose clean........the question on the table is did she have an ulterior motive in bringing that guy out to Australia at taxpayers expense?

Yes you are right regarding politicians engaging in extra-marital affairs......It is a matter as to whether it can be keep under the hat or not?

His comment was;

“She’s rejected any wrongdoing. I take Senator Peris at her word,” Mr Shorten told Fairfax Radio today.

“I’ve found Senator Peris in my dealings with her to be an honest person.”

Bill doesn't see any problems in how taxpayer's money is used, and of course Nova Peris Kneebone did contribute her share to the enticement of Mr Boldon to come here. She told him;

"You should be compensated for your long haul travels across the pacific. sexually of course …"

Nova Peris was not even a politician at the time.

Tony Abbott and others have “ulterior motive/s” in undertaking personal activities at "taxpayers expense” all the time.

For example, Abbott made a trip to Port Macquarie to compete in the “Ironman” event and billed it all up to the taxpayer. No questions asked?

What a beat up.

Absolutely right, and the even more insidious aspect to this saga is how these allegedly private emails got into the public domain. I doubt if either the sender or the recipient would have released them, so this falls into the black hole of electronic intelligence gathering, not in the cause of national security, but to embarrass one's political adversaries.

Maybe people who had no doubts about the integrity of the security services in regard to protecting personal privacy should think again.
 
Like the emails of Professor Barry Spurr that the Left have trawled through, those of Labor Senator Nova Peris are private.

Like the emails of Spurr, the emails of Peris could be seen to express private racist thoughts.

But unlike the emails of Spurr, those of Peris reveal a matter of great public interest - the apparent use of public money for a private purpose. So let’s see if the ABC and Fairfax go to town on Peris as they have with the conservative Spurr:

Peris is a credit to the Labor party. Gillard obviously knew she was a smart cookie when she used her "Captain's Choice" to preselect her for the Senate, and now she has been endorsed by Bill Shorten and Penny Wong. These guys know talent, for screwing the taxpayer, when they see it.
