All Activity

Yeah - a success by Trump's measure, not by anyone else's. Min you Trump would claim he's the most successful (insert category here) against all evidence to the contrary.

I generally support Albo and still give him 7/10 for his leadership overall. That said, I agree that going on that interview and acting like a dill were unforced errors. By doing the melon thing he alienated a lot of women and young people in general, who don't accept sexist behaviour. I would say that it seemed out of character, or at least out of character for his public persona and history. Personally I'm happy to write it off as a silly mistake, which we all do on occasion, until or unless he does something similar. However I'd also point out the truly horrific shit that Pauline posts and defends. If Albo farted in the cathedral, Pauline blew the place up. As for the other leader of the opposition, he hasn't got an original idea and seems to think being a one nation copy will work for the LNP, which leaves Labor as the only party anywhere near the centre, which like it or not is where most voters sit.

I don't think that is correct based on which code has bigger reach globally but i know very little of either sport

If you define success by batting away consequences of being quite active in the Epstein files, it was quite successful

Here is one of my favoured commentators. I think his personal political preferences lean towards Labor, but he seems to give an even handed assessment. This the assessment of the LNP pitch. I will post the ALP an others when he does those.

I contest number 1. "Cunth" rhymes perfectly with "month". It's what you call a couple of thugs that have just knocked your teeth out.

I would ask it every time Brendan, because it Matters.. There's a big variation of reliability and it depends on the question that was asked.. The REAL poll is on Election day. IF I ever Post Poll results I WILL state the source. Nev

A "success" is it? . I doubt it. It's stirred up the entire ME and put oil Prices through the roof. Urged on by Netanyahu. A WAR he promised not to get involved in and diesel price hikes with no end in sight. .Terrific. Nev

The naming difference between the two forms of football came from what might be classed as social class sources. The Rugby Football Union was established in London in 1871, uniting 21 clubs and officially standardizing the laws of the sport. So it was a joining together of a group of clubs, no doubt to enable a competition to be run. In 1895, the sport split into two separate codes—rugby union and rugby league—over a dispute regarding "broken-time payments" (compensating working-class players for missing work to play). There's your social class factor. Very much a similar thing happened with cricket, with the non-paid players called The Gentlemen, and the professionals.

A question you would not ask if Labor were in the lead.

I see Ben carrol has launched new TV ad. He says he is the new premier and skites about launching a royal commission into the construction industry, he failed to mention he tried to put a clause in that prevented Jacinta and dan Andrews from being questioned over their involvement in the big build corruption.

WHICH Poll? Nev

Trump Lives in a World entirely of his own Making, where HE MUST be the Centre of Attention at all times.. ALL the World can see He's Pathetic.. For Putin, He is the Gift that Keeps on Giving. Nev

Just trying to balance the BS here. . I'm not welded on. It's just that all the Others are dysfunctional or truly scary and they haven't stopped sooking since Dutton went. They want to do a deal with Hanson. What signal does that send to the Voters?

Has Trump realised she is not blonde nor white? Granted she is dumb, so thats a start.

I must say that I don't find Bush Barbie's style of comedy comes anywhere near the standard our earlier comics (non-gender term used deliberately). From the videos I've seen of her, she uses her physical appearance to attract ateention, which it sure does. However, having grown up enjoying the witty use of language and irony, both in the English and Australian styles, I think she just doesn't come up to standard.

I see the latest poll has Coalition at 33$, Labor at 24% and ON at 20%. Two party preferred has the Coalition with a lead over Labor of 55-45.

Nev, you are as welded on as Maggots are to Trump.

BS. That is for the PARTY to decide . That's how it works. Nev

Yeah, the Scottish, My ancestors. Need Sub titles to understand them. Nev

I played Union at Teachers College and Hated it. The Scrums were ridiculous. It's the Minor game in Australia but the Roughest.. The International game is RUGBY League. Nev

That is an accent from oop narth

I haven't watched the Albo/Bush Barbie episode right through. I don't see how anybody could unless you were a rusted on Albo lover, but I scrolled through it to see what all the fuss was about. It wasn't just the couple of controversial questions and answers that were cringeworthy, the whole twenty minute episode is one of the most cringeworthy things you'll ever watch if you're masochistic enough to watch it in full. It wasn't only Albo; the Bush Barbie character who describes herself as a comedian is about as funny as a broken arm. Add to that, twenty minutes of Albo desperately trying to be witty and funny, and pretending to be a knock-about ordinary Aussie bogan. No coincidence that's the demographic Labor is losing in the polls, so I can see what he was aiming at by appearing on her awful show. He delivered the whole twenty minute debacle with that same tightly clenched teeth way of speaking he uses when he's either lying or trying to pretend he's something he's not (or both). He's well known for his lack of political judgement on a personal level but volunteering to rush headlong into that mess is right up there with his stumbles. And no, he wasn't set up. The comedian had been trying to book him for an interview for a long time and got nowhere through proper channels. Then she noticed Albo was a follower on her social media so she DM'd him direct and got an immedate response agreeing and saying it sounds like a lot of fun. From there he invited her to the Lodge and the rest is history. That thing with the Japanese Prime Minister's melons was terrible. Not just the clumsy mammary inferences, the whole thing was disrespectful to the Japanese PM. He was asked 'what's the worst present you've ever been given?' and without batting an eyelid he said not the worst, but the oddest present was the melons and then it just went downhill from there. A visiting PM in good faith gave him a gift which has deep cultural significance in Japan and the fool made a mockery of it just to try to score some brownie points with voters. Whataboutism and the argument the other side is worse just doesn't cut the mustard to excuse what is essentially an embarrassing fool of a prime minister.

Well, I call the recent war in Iran a success. The news has stopped talking about the unreleased Epstein Files. And still no 'lawfare' is happening to any of the accused (in USA anyway)

There's the clue Peter. Union has 15 players each side, league has 13. If it was League the quote would be 26 men constantly crashing into each other.
