Sure. Why should I object? I am pleased you have come out of the closet. Good luck with it.
I'm not a confirmed voter for either side, unlike some who will always vote the same way regardless of the talent, behaviour and/or policies of their chosen party.
...Similarly if Rumpole or any other Labor voter makes a point with which I agree, I don't intend to feel constrained about saying so.
If it's all right with you, of course.
Not as big a fool or hypocrite as you for siding with Craig Thomson and Craig Emerson. You are on the losing side.
Mr Thomson promised earlier this month to use the address to parliament to give "a bit more detail" about the former colleague he blames for rorting at the HSU when he was its national secretary.
But Mr Thomson's lawyers have told him not to level new claims, given the danger that any statement he makes could be used against him if he faces court over the misuse of nearly $500,000 in union funds.
It is understood that today's speech will focus on the danger to parliament if the House of Representatives seeks to supplant the courts and rule on its own members before they have been given a fair trial.
Mr Thomson is expected to stay away from line-by-line responses to the 1100-page report from Fair Work Australia on its three-year investigation into the HSU and its former leader.
.
And by the way, personal attacks by you on other members of the forum who express honest opinions, but who you appear to think are "letting the side down" are despicable and simply reveal the type of person you really are.
Well I had fully intended to watch the Thompson speech to Parliament.

"Mr Thomson should also report what financial and other assistance he has received from the Labor Party, including the cost of his legal bills."
Why should he ? It's a matter between him and the Labor party.
I guess it would be nice to know how far Labor will go to protect sleezy cheats and crims.
About as far as the Libs I suspect
Ours have far more class than yours and should be supported.
I'd be glad to send a donation if it's tax deductible
Just read some of my other posts please, once again I say I HOPE THOMSON GETS WHAT HE DESERVES.
However the Thomson debacle has bought out the hypocrisy of the Opposition and SOME of the posters here, as well as the bad handling of the whole issue by the government.
1. The hypocrisy issue and getting rid of the government are two separate issues.Strangely enough you only had one supporter for your "hypocrisy" nonsense. The vast majority of Australians see the Opposition which you denigrate repeatedly, as being the only hope we have to rid us of this illegitimate government
Your idea of "GETS WHAT HE DESERVES" probably means exoneration.
.
2. When someone you perceive as 'on your side' disagrees with you on an issue, you feel obliged to subject that person to a personal attack.
3. I'm sick of it. If you could give consideration to more civilised responses I, for one, would really appreciate it.
You and Rumpole are obviously colluding in personal attacks on me. From experience I know that I will be the loser. So I will concede the high moral ground to you and your new friend and withdraw from the debate.
Someone who is completely legless will be standing (or is that propped up) to say something in the house in about 20 minutes.
He's been deathly silent since his Laurie Oakes interview last weekend.
