Do we really want a PM that makes these sort of mistakes/errors of judgment.


Sometimes what we want and what we get are 2 different things

Because we don't always get what we want

It's called life  :thumbsup

  :cheers

Labor seems to think we do.  They have given us the last 3 that match that criteria perfectly.   ;D

Don't be misleading.

The last 3 Labor PMs did not make " these sort of mistakes/errors of judgment"

They made mistakes that were completely different.

 :cheers

 :lol   :thumbsup

seriously who gives a toss.
I have no time at all for abbot. None, zero, zilch, but this is just so petty.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Ah politics and the veneer of democracy:

    “The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy” (Georgetown University Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966.)


Read the book it explains the 'elites' methodology.

This is a difficult one....a battle of two extremes imo...the Muslim Brotherhood vs Military Dictatorship....both being 'played' by the 'West' and Israhell. I feel sorry for moderate secularists caught in the middle. 

And a little further along the 'fertile crescent' the agent provocateurs are backing Al Qaeda/CIAda.

The ABC has launched a website called fact check.

Despite what some think about the ABC, this is an unbiased look at the claims made by the liars AKA Politicians, and who is closer to the truth.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/factcheck/

check it out, if you are a member of the radical right you may be pleasantly surprised at what this loopy left organisation has to say about recent claims made by the major party leaders  ;D

and onto a more serious matter how was Lathans response on 3AW to what Abbot said about his hand maiden the other day?
Quote
"It showed very bad judgment and it shows he has low standards,"

"I had a good look at Fiona Scott on page eight of The Australian today and she doesn't have sex appeal at all.

"She's not that good of a sort."

"She's a rather plain ordinary-looking woman and Abbott has exaggerated massively to try and win her vote among the blokes ..." he said.

"Tony had the beer goggles on and in politics they say it's showbiz for ugly people and I don't think she'll be out of place."

LMFAO

what a shame he's not still still in the game.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

There's only one politician that's had real sex appeal!

Funny how it starts July, 2015. Why not July 2014?

Fair chance it won't see the light of day and not it should.

On the odd chance it does il be having a third child and making the most of this stupid scheme
