I don't think I've particularly disagreed with any of this, as opposed to the grand exaggerations of Sylvester

Whatever man you crazy.

I wasn't mucking around that time, it's true. When Whitlam tried to call a half senate election in 1975 he said if Labor won a majority in the senate they'd get rid of it. The Labor Legislative Councillor s who voted to abolish the upper house in QLD were nicknamed the suicide squad.

Mate most people don't even know about the incident, let lone a majority have an opinion on it. I entreat myself I'm generally more newsread than Joe Sixpack and I hadn't even heard of it till this thread These facts are commonly reported, you try and represent them as some sinister little...

Have a small minority of people embellished in favour of the victim? Yes, but you know something, he's dead, when someone is shot dead for those more closely affected by the issue, getting swept up in a tide of emotion is not uncommon. But the way you skewed the story absolutely dwarfs anything...

It is Labor party policy that if they ever seize both houses of parliament they blow up the upper one because they believe it is unrepresentative.

Right so for you political heroism and good political judgement are just things that occasionally have passing correlations and nothing more.

Here is something for your puny brain to mull over. You keep drumming up your opposition to immigration, it seems to be the political issue that most concerns you to be honest. You're political hero you say is Kevin Rudd, he is the man you'd most like to be Prime Minister. Certainly since Fraser...

Oh come on with all the selective fact mentioning and your conspiracy mongering to call you a hack is frankly generous.

My god you are stupid.

The author of that article is a convicted racist you idiot.

Convicted racist

I think my first point was that your joke wasn't funny, I think my main point is that for someone who thinks himself above the fray of the traditional political paradigm you argue with all the hubristic flourishes of a right wing hack.

Whoever becomes leader of the opposition now has the easiest job in the world, just say no for four years than watch a 8%+ swing roll in at the next election. With a caucus this small it shouldn't be hard to keep everyone happy and stave off leadership challenges either.

I'm sure you have a point in there somewhere darling, feel free to clarify what it is at your leisure,

I think Labor would have won if Bruce Hawker was still managing the campaign.

First Bolt now Sylvester, my my your heroes are beacons of impartiality aren't they?

Anyone game to tip Newman for an increased majority in 2016?

At this point I'd like to remind everyone that Sylvester is not right wing or conservative, he is a a libertarian.
