In the interest of WP's sanity, no more articles and links from me.


Hopefully the gang of 4 will stop the endless "Albo must go" posts.

We cop your nonsense for YEARS

We do it for a few months and the toys get thrown out the cot

You ask us to stop , why should we? You never did.

It’s clear as day that the airbus should be grounded ..

Your opinion on how people should behave in this thread carries as much weight as a soggy flamonge

Be like Stuart Broad complaining about the “spirit of cricket”

Serious question
This one will see if people can put aside party bias and respond without rose coloured glasses

Surely you all agree that the way Albanese handled the Aussie diver being injured by the Chinese warship was weak as pee?

What a gutless leader we have
China would LOVE us having him at the helm

China loves a Labor(sic) government  - all Australia's enemies do.... :shh

Exceptionally poor IMHO

Even if you apply the "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" philosophy his inability to answer relatively straight forward questions on the issue was terrible. There are certain things you have to stand up for and the safety of all Aussies is the most important without any form of compromise

I get why it's important to have China on side (the keep your friends close and your enemies closer philosophy applies) for the purposes of trade and getting those tariffs lifted that have almost crippled certain industries. That needed to happen but not at the expense of not taking a stand with regard to our national security

Can I add one thing I think it was a bit rich of Mr Dutton to go on national TV this morning and say the PM needs to just say he made a msitake and tell people the truth. I don't remember Mr Dutton telling all of us why he wouldn't tell us the truth as to why he kicked out Dusty's Dad and wouldn't let him back into Aust  ;D

There is a fair difference between this issue and Dutton deporting someone who wasn't an Australian citizen + had committed crimes here in the past and also had major involvement in the Rebels, WP. He also wasn't the only person deported for the exact same reason. He simply had a very famous footballer as a son that everyone on this site loves

I get that AT

But my point was I always find it a bit rich when pollies call one another demanding they tell the truth when the ones doing the calling out haven't exactly been truthful themselves on various issues. The majority of them aren't exactly honest which is the sad reflection of where our political landscape sits these days.
