This. Attack her political credibility. Far more relevant. This merely confirms the status of the Telegraph as toilet paper.

Who really knows. It would seem to suggest Bligh will be returned. The likelihood of hung parliament is increasing.

Shouldn't the law reflect community standards not matter how 'bunk' they may be? Who are the 'guardians' of justice, and what connection should there be between the law and morality? I guess these are questions for a different thread. I agree that often the public is not aware of the aspects of...

Without the specific facts is hard to pass comment. However, on what was presented in the footage, the officer was completely justified in utilising the TASER (i.e. violent resistance or confrontation occurring). Most of the time I find that those who generalise in relation to the police...

At the time, Latham was the 'messiah', and I'm assuming what you've read about the matter attempts to claim the opposite. That he offered nothing, and was destined to be a political failure. In fact I even recall that Alan Ramsay, who we all know passionately despised John Howard, stated, along...

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

That's a fairly bold claim. The mere fact such ideas weren't carried policies throughout a campaign does not mean they were not ideological platforms. Howard eventually learned that in order to succeed politically, he needed to ensure there was a perceived distance between ideology and policy...

Re: Should Australia break from the British Empire? Hear hear. A solid system of government which is far superior to most. Why change it? We should embrace our history. Edit: Note the term 'British Empire' is redundant.

Labor's attacks on Turnbull over Rein taunts are a bit rich | The Australian

Economic Left/Right: 0.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.31 It's unusual. I would consider myself to be more centre right. http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=0.00&soc=0.31

Oi.. you're talking to a St George fan.. 2009 is our year. And 2011 will be a Coalition victory..:rolleyes:

I never denied being a hack :rolleyes: But I do criticise where necessary. I agree to a point with what you've said. It did undermine the authority of the speaker to a degree. I lament the fact that he was unable to sustain the outlook of that speech, particularly in relation to the past...

Whiny schminy. I can just imagine the reaction in the media if it was Turnbulll. Abbott got slaughtered during the campaign for his 'It's bullshit' comment to Roxon. The man is Prime Minister. Standards should be high.

I still don't see your fascination with Steven Smith. He has to the most boring personality in the parliament. I wouldn't call them tantrums. That was Howard at his passionate best. And he still didn't have to resort to poor language to come across as passionate. Rudd has his own subtle forms...

The thing that gets me is that no matter what Rudd does, in part due to the support provided by the media, it has little or no reflection in the popularity stakes. Trying to dent Rudd's armour, with the likes of Oakes and Bongiorno providing stories to the masses, is like trying to wrestle a...

Yessir, it sure is.

Police prosecutors operate in a local court. They are police and have undertaken specific legal and advocacy training within the organisation. There is some current debate over the police relinquishing these powers to the DPP. This however would be extremely difficult, particularly in attracting...

Interesting read. PM's cheap money shot | The Australian

Really? I struggled to find anything on the television or in the newspapers about the whole thing.

Yeah I agree in that regard. I don't think he wasn't moved. Most people would be. He just has this exterior which prevents his true emotions from being seen. I guess its part and parcel of being in the world of politics.
