With a bit of luck we will have a "knob" running the country before the end of the year.

Seems to be a regular occurrence actually.

Perhaps we need a "knob-o-meter" to grade these drop kicks who pretend to run the country.

great idea, lets get the CSIRO onto it. Any ideas of where to test the prototype?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Test it on the "grog monster".

[Roxy the Rat Girl]

A quick test run at the Hahndorf Cricket Club should show if it was working or not.

Gee, no-ones allowed to comment anymore
Must have been the 90% responses telling the Advertiser they are full of it

Sports bet odds out today have Labor getting smashed by the Liberals at the next election, Libs are $1.35, the ALP $3.30.

Interestingly they brought up the ICAC situation in NSW alone is enough to win the election for the Libs. The ALP in NSW have been terminating the memberships of people for a while now but not much has been reported about it in the media in S.A. It relates to open corruption and it being covered over and so on. Along with the whole Craig Thomson and AWU situation the ALP reek in NSW and its showing up in the federal polling.

When Greens Senators start standing aside after being found guilty of tax evasion, maybe people might pay some attention to what their senators have to say when they call for the heads of other Senators?

Heartland Institute Reply to Sydney Morning Herald
January 28, 2013 Joseph Bast

'Bizarre, inaccurate, and plainly intended to defame The Heartland Institute'

The following statement is from Joseph Bast, president of The Heartland Institute:

“Ms. Jessica Wright, a ‘political correspondent’ for Australia’s The Sunday Age and the Sun-Herald, mentions The Heartland Institute several times in a piece titled “Abbott’s man under fire over extreme right lobbying“ in the January 27 edition of the Sydney Morning Herald.

“The article mostly attacks Australian Senator Cory Bernardi for being a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which Ms. Wright mischaracterizes as a ‘right-wing, pro-tobacco group.’ ALEC is in fact a bipartisan and highly respected organization of state elected officials in the U.S. Ms. Wright’s criticism simply parrots attacks on the group by left-liberal groups in the U.S. and has no validity.

“Ms. Wright refers to The Heartland Institute as ‘a sister pro-tobacco lobbying organisation and corporate member of ALEC.’ We are not ‘pro-tobacco,’ though Heartland spokespersons frequently question whether sound science and economics justify sky-high taxes and punitive smoking bans. For accurate information about The Heartland Institute’s work on tobacco control policy, please visit our Web site page about ’Smoker’s Rights.’

“The Heartland Institute also is not a lobbying organization, but rather an independent nonprofit research organization or ‘think tank.’ We address a wide range of issues and, like ALEC, focus on being a resource for state elected officials in the U.S. We are a nonprofit member of ALEC and our staff serves on several ALEC task forces.

“Ms. Wright reports that we paid for Senator Bernardi’s ‘accommodation and travel to the US on four separate occasions in 2010 and 2011.’ Our records show Sen. Bernardi attended two of our International Conferences on Climate Change, one in the U.S. and one in Sydney, and spoke at both of them. The Heartland Institute routinely reimburses travel expenses for elected officials and speakers at its conferences.

“Ms. Wright claims The Heartland Institute ‘recently ran a two-day conference in the US entitled “Can Tobacco Make You Healthier?” ‘ This is bizarre, inaccurate, and plainly intended to defame The Heartland Institute. The event she apparently is referring to was a 75-minute workshop titled ‘Can Tobacco Cure Smoking?’ which Heartland helped organize at ALEC’s annual meeting in Salt Lake City last year.

“The speaker, Prof. Brad Rodu, is one of the country’s (indeed, the world’s) leading authorities on the use of smokeless tobacco products to encourage smokers to smoke less or stop altogether. Given that message, it would be more accurate to say that Heartland sponsored a seminar on ‘how to stop smoking.’

“There are many important issues that would benefit from lively and informed debate. It’s regrettable that Ms. Wright chose instead to devote an article to muddying the water with false and misleading claims.”

Lol. So these groups are claiming to be bipartisan? 5 seconds research suggests they are a fair way to the right.

[Jimmy_041]

But there's nothing wrong with being a member of a far left organisation because the bleeding hearts are OK with that.
The point is: it was not declarable no matter what the reporter, Labor or the Greens say (most of whom have NFI anyway)

its tony abbotts fault about the comments made about prostate cancer

Didn't say there was a problem with a member of any political group, but don't claim it's bipartisan when it obviously isn't. Be proud of your extreme right wing views. ;-)

The Queensland floods are clearly Tony Abbott's fault.

[The Sleeping Giant]

If you say so.

[Bully]

You replying with "If you say so", is clearly Tony abbotts fault..........
