China, Russia Saudi Arabia, others, Israel are all playing a game of ''hold my beer'' with him, seeing who can extract the most from the power vacuum he is creating.

Australia isn't beyond being unfeeling toward the poor .
Hundreds of thousands homeless , living in Parks or out of old cars .
Pensioners being told , to avoid using A/C .      Sewerage charges increased $200 a year this week.     Electricity dearest in the World and rising .   Supermarkets secret deal with Unions today to cut new staff wages up to $3000 a year .
Pensioner discounts in QLD cut to half what NSW present rate.
Xmas hamper handouts from charity requires highest ever. etc etc .
   Median rents in Capital Cities exceed pension payments.

    We are feeding Labors illegal boat people with borrowed money.

Sad to say Isaac .    We are well on the way to having a South African style apartheid .      The haves & the have not's .

Try & get some legal help if you haven't got millions .
I'm on sausages and instant oats.     I haven't seen a T bone since my exhaust fan failed and my glasses fog up when showering twice a month.

Tourists who buy up the Prime properties and land, farms , industry, Ports etc.

They don't have to invade , which is good , They just buy us and then rent to their own.
I was amused at the complaints from the media that poling was difficult in Benelong as too many, only spoke Chinese.

We fear white ants in many areas ...    with 200,000 breeding stock migrating per year,   How many generations before we don't own Australia.
I'm aware of the populate or perish facts but surely we can be more selective .

Liberal maths:

2013 govt debt                     $273b
2020 forecast(May budget)    $606b
2020 forecast MYEFO            $583b

They are going to try to tell us today that because the debt wont rise by as much as previously forecast, that it is $23b drop in debt

Poor old Tony Abbott made a life out of "hating" the deficit, which was relatively small, when he was opposition leader. But, once in power, got used to it, and learned to live with it, as it grew.

John Alexander's "joke" about a disability sticker, which a doctor told him his bad back made him eligible for, and how he had too much pride to countenance use thereof, still has me confused. He said what he meant was, he would not use it for parking privileges, because his condition was not bad enough to need it, and it would be a kind of fraud to do so, if I understand his explanation. But where does his "pride" fit into that ? I took the meaning of his quip to be that he did not want to be among the ranks of the "officially" handicapped, and his pride would resist him accepting that he was. Storm in a tea-cup, but strange stuff to be talking about in a victory speech. Almost a record for an early gaffe from an elected candidate.

Agree PT .      A bluddy retard with a 0 for presentation.

    The LNP have to grasp an important fact.   Politics is now all about

sex appeal with a gift of the gab . ( not oral but , ahhh well )

The former opposition Leader in Qld didn't excite my dog.   Useless and so obvious long before the election.
Shorten presents as a handicapped death adder and Turnbull most certainly needs a Melanie to help him get off the viewing stool.    Lucy ain't it.
Brandis is to migrate , a get square for what the UK has been saddling us with for years.
The Greens have the next PM if she's ready to front up topless =   YES

Is it the right thing to call someone a retard, insulting to retards and the object of the post.

Someone who supposedly worked in the health care system for decades should know better.

So my comment was quite relevant

You asked a question, I gave you a simple answer, make of it as you will

At the moment there are 7 Chinese search engines reading posts here. That is a pretty average number at any given time.

I could have a disability sticker for the same type of injury. But I choose not too for the same reasons as John Alexander.

If I were to use one when I can usually get through the day without using one then that leaves one for someone who may need it more. Someone with a wheel chair perhaps.

PT's got you by the short and curlies max.

He's slowly turned you into a Labor fan boy who'll look for any excuse to attack the Libs.

Shame..Shame...Shame..

Maybe you should vote the majors last. That'll fix 'em.

I'd say his conscience was shot when he decided to switch parties.

As far as being fully developed, he is about a year behind Whale and closing quickly. Shocked

In reality, I fear JA was indeed too proud to think of himself as "handicapped", scamanda, I am not convinced he was that worried he'd be displacing the more worthy. Storm in a tea-cup, but JA has form in making such gaffes.

I think the problem was that he was too far left and his problem was with the far right in his own party.
