Not quit, and unless you want to join the line in court for defamation then I suggest you delete or modify your comments.

Can anyone confirm if the sun will still rise tomorrow ?

Those Cottrel screenshots are hilarious. Is he an Aussie? If so, get him into parliament

It's 5:08am and no sign of the sun yet.


 

[Assange Tiger 😎]

5.25am now and still no sun

[1965]

6:36am and the sun is starting to rise.


Well it's getting light outside at least.

Applying we wont put this site at legal risk under any circumstances especially when we hit a "grey area" I've edited a recent post

Couple of points though

Everything that was in the original post can be found on the internet; whether that be via social media eg Facebook, Twitter, news services or other web pages.

However, at a court appearance for his appeal against a conviction earlier this year (april 18) Cottrell when asking for his case to be delayed said he was planning on suing certain agencies & organisations for defamation***.

Based on that alone, the post has been edited so we don't get dragged into an legal bun fight


***NB unable to find any record of there being a case pending***

So now back to the topic of this thread

The horrendous state of politics in this country

[1965]

The Coalition is heading for a massive split.

Speaking just before Friday's Liberal party room meeting, Terry Barnes had little hope that whoever triumphed in the leadership contest - Malcolm Turnbull, Peter Dutton, Scott Morrison or Julie Bishop - could rescue the party.
"Today is not going to fix anything," the former senior advisor to Liberal health ministers Tony Abbott and Michael Wooldridge told Fairfax Media.
"We are going to lose the next election. In opposition we are going to have a cataclysmic and existential fight and I'm not sure the Liberal Party as we know it will survive.

The failed challenge seems to have backfired. Latest Newspoll has Dutton on track to lose his own seat.

#Newspoll (22-23 August) Federal Seat of Dickson Primary Votes: Dutton L/NP 37 (-7.6 since election) ALP 37 (+2.1) ON 10 (+10) GRN 9 (-0.9) #auspol

#Newspoll (22-23 August) Federal Seat of Dickson 2 Party Preferred: Dutton L/NP 48 (-3.6 since election) ALP 52 (+3.6) #auspol

The Sun doesn't rise. The Earth rotates on its axis as it orbits around the Sun #relativereferenceframe   .

Well the change of PM was worst it. Latest Newspoll has LNP 44 (-5) ALP 56 (+5) with Shorten now preferred PM. And they wonder why the public think modern day politicians are idiots.

I'm surprised the penguins in Antarctica don't fall off the edge  .

It's embarrassing and cringeworthy that our pollies in 2018 still swear allegiance to a foreign head of state and monarch .

[1965]

The silence from the Liberal/Right leaning posters on this thread is indicative of what is happening in Australia.


The voters have made up their mind and have stopped listening to the Coalition.


Expect a landslide victory and some much needed time on the opposition's benches for the Liberals.


We need a strong opposition to make our Westminster political system work.


Pity we won't get it until the Coalition goes through a whole lot of pain.
