"Died of shame" was a classic. You have to admit that it was bloody funny.

Love Alan Jones. He's a national treasure

No, "died of shame" was not a classic and it was not funny. It was pathetic, degrading and morally bankrupt.

But you may applaud it but doubt you'd think it was so fantastic if he said it about Trump, Assange or even ScoMO

He is a vile human being.

Poor taste but hilariously funny.

Given that this is behind a pay wall makes me think that you subscribe to the Australian.


And doesn't that say a lot just in itself.


 :lol
One of the better papers going around. I guess you only watch the ABC whose vitriol on Sunday was absolutely disgraceful.

'65's a typical entitled leftist who thinks everything should be free....having said that there are plenty of free programs out there that enable you to circumvent paywalls... :shh

Anyway, not holding my breath waiting for our resident old socialist spammer to post a link to this all too rare sensible article from The Age that spells out a few home truths for Labor...so I'll do it myself:

Your deflection & arrogant, dismissive reply only proves the articles point just as I knew it reliably would..... :shh

Well I'm flattered but to be honest one doesn't need to be all that clever to work you out or predict your replies..... :shh

I see Melissa Price (the environment minister in hiding) is unlikely to retain her position even though ScoMo said she would.


Not sure if this was a broken promise or an outright lie.


A broken promise maybe because we all know ScoMo doesn't lie. (does he)


 :lol
Name me a politician who does not lie on either side of politics.
