Re: If someone votes for labor at the next state election, are they retards? srsly. Astute observation. The Greens will never be in a position to govern. Like most minority party successes, they will have some achievements in times of dissastifaction with the majors. However, like the...

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread Manne is another academic who tries to portray 'material gain or progress' as having no moral attachment. He isolates the 'populist' issues as being of a moral nature without recognising actual achievements. He professes to make a judgement of the...

And that's completely reliable ..:o

Because you know exactly what's in it everytime..

A living made by not observing responsible service of alcohol laws. I agree with your comment about more drinking in a shorter period of time. Earlier closing times will merely promote faster binge drinking. However that is only possible in a context where RSA is not adhered to. Address the...

Common sense would surely prevail. I'm quite sure you would only have to prove on the balance of probabilities that you took all reasonable steps to get rid of it. I mean, if you have 10 or even 200 images from an attachment, the court is likely to take that into account. In most...

I would assume that if you viewed the material (i.e. downloaded it), then immediately clicked on back etc, it could fall into that category.

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread I take a trip on the wildside everyday sunshine. Deal with these people, day in, day out. If you think life in the mountains is where the troubles lie, you're surely deluding yourself.

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread HSC 2008? Have you seen the real world yet? Have you dealt with the dregs of society in the mountains? Do you have issues with your indigenous neighbours? Do you take a stroll down the druitt, Blackett or Doonside at 1am in the morning? Take a...

Someone has pent up resentment.. I love socialists.

He went to Grammar, assisted by a scholarship, where he repeatedly topped his class. As the same article mentions, he also set up a scholarship in memory of his dad in the late 80's at Grammar for bright students who were unable to meet the costs. I don't even understand why his wealth is an...

Great news. Nelson is a terrific guy, you could not meet a nicer bloke. Therein lay his biggest weakness. Turnbull is tenacious, experienced and charismatic. All the characteristics of a potential PM.

Interesting. I assume, based on the reports, we'll see a Turnbull led team by tomorrow afternoon.

Re: Australian Politics Chatter Thread By no choice of his own. Surely he wasn't obliged to follow the continual western redistribution of his seat?

O'Farrell made a good point yesterday. Rees was an advisor to both Iemma and Refshauge prior to entering parliament. It's the same old guard under a different face..
