hey guys just want to know that i'm a big fan of where this thread is going. i've seen nothing to suggest you guys would not be well versed political observers with ethics and opinions formed by personal values and life experiences

 

[The Speaker]

Menzies, Howard, Rudd, Hawke, Keating, Gillard, Whitlam, Barton, Deakin, Hughes, Scullin, Curtin, Holt, McEwin

So just over half all up.

So how can you rank him against the half you don't know?

Watson, Reid, Fisher, Cook, Bruce, Lyons, Page, Fadden, Forde, Chifley, Gorton, McMahon, Fraser.

(Also keep in mind that in a Westminster system, the head of government role is not as important and all-encompassing as, say, the US President).

Not true. McEwen, for one, was a caretaker, so it was basically impossible for him to not get it right.

****, can't believe I forgot those two... Fraser is one of my favourite former PM's. Very entertaining.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Reid's Free Trade nonsense is just like the worst.

We have a politics thread?

 

[Doss]

We have a politics thread?

We do. Although its birth came about after a slight over derailing of the ASADA thread earlier this year- discussion was split off here.

Tony Abbott accuses other people of sexism. I've heard it all now.

Yes, its just a bit ironic though.

Rita is simply an attention seeking farkwit writing for a farkwit paper. Bolt, Devine, Rebecca Wilson....my goodness, not fit to wipe your arse with......I mean I wouldn't anyway because of the news print...you'd get it all over your fingers as well as your arse.....the print I mean, not the....um....anyway...carry on.

Gee you spout a lot of crap, honestly and I don't want to bite my lip any longer. The Herald Sun wipes ITS arse with the opposition by some distance and will be around for a damn sight longer than The Lefty Rage, whose days are surely numbered. You have every right to hate Andrew Bolt, but let me tell you one thing for a fact - and for free - he IS Australia's most read political journalist - for good reason. And as for the portfolio of Minister for Immigration being some sort of poisoned chalice as you've suggested - like him or loathe him - Morrison has become a hero and the best performed government minister through it.

You're delusional, it's an absolute farking rag of the highest order. Morrison is so good he got the arse. Got help welfare recipients.

p.s when did I mention Morrison anyway?? Are you on the right thread
