the goose...

Julia Gillard has renewed her debate challenge to Tony Abbott, saying she wants to go head-to-head with the Opposition Leader on economic issues next Monday night.

Both leaders were on the hustings in the battlefield state of Queensland this morning as they touted plans to fast-track baby bonus payments and encourage firms to take on older workers.

Mr Abbott has already knocked back the challenge to hold a second debate with Ms Gillard, but today the Prime Minister, on day three of her 'Real Julia' strategy, threw the gauntlet down again.

"Mr Abbott should step up to a debate on the economy," she said as the election campaign reached the half-way mark.

In return, Mr Abbott reminded Ms Gillard that Labor had already climbed down on a previous promise to hold three debates.

Mr Abbott says the Government has no case to argue for its re-election.

"It can't make a case for it's re-election because it certainly can't run on its record," he said.

------------------------

Abbott is talking bullshit about Labor's economic credentials...

So far in the world's giant economic meltdown, Australia's skin has been saved because Labor introduced a well targeted stimulus into the economy, a stimulus that Tony was opposed to... Result: under Tony's vaporous snake oil, we would far far worse off, like the rest of the western economies, presently struggling to get back on their feet. Australia did not go into recession. Tony is afraid he will be shown as a phoney goose, which he is...

the true goose...

Female reporters blinked.

He [Tony Abbott] kept going. ''She's surely not trying to say to us that 'no doesn't mean no'.''

The NSW government has used the phrase ''no means no'' as shorthand for its toughening of consent definitions under sexual assault law. It is a phrase indelibly associated with sexual assault, or teaching teen sexual abstinence.

Was Mr Abbott's appropriation of the phrase no more than a poor taste joke or, as one Labor source suggested, a campaign ''moment'' akin to that of the then opposition leader, Alexander Downer, who quipped ''the things that batter'' when referring to domestic violence policy. The comment haunted Mr Downer as emblematic of poor judgment. Ms Gillard has said it is up to Mr Abbott to explain himself. ''Mr Abbott's words are a matter for Mr Abbott,'' she said.

The Greens senator, Sarah Hanson-Young, called the comments inappropriate.

Idiot...

I keep repeating to myself

I keep repeating to myself Gus that the media elects and by definition, removes the governments of any US style "democratic" government because - they can.

Hitler and Goebbels raised the pride and determination of the German people by propaganda but, no one told the people that.

The relatives and the power sources of the G.W. Bush campaign conned an entire people to accept an unelected moron as President.  And – the real winner Al Gore was forced to accept his defeat even though he knew that he had been duded.

However, as did Rudd, he refused to divide the nation.  As Rupert Murdoch would probably say, serves him right. Honesty is weakness and unprofitable.

The “powers that be”, who are the elite of course, continue to control the affairs of the majority of western nations and the US/UK/Zionist terrorists continue to play the democracy card which means they have to change them and take over their assets, in the interests of their people.  Fair dinkum.

How many of the NATO dead, especially the US and particularly our own Australian young people, are worth the destruction of ancient civilizations and the freedom of nations that we know nothing about? 

 

Except of course that they have something that the military/corporate want then - I would dearly like to live long enough to see the nations of the world, east or west, when they realize that war is destructive and contrary to the best interests of them all.

 

And while I understand and support the removal of the Burqua in non Muslim countries because of suicide bombings or for whatever reason - I believe that extreme beliefs should be sheltered and protected by the Faith which imposes those principles.

 

Is that an argument for the Zionists of occupied Palestine?  Only time will tell.

 

God Bless Australia and may we snooker the Billionaires garbage coming out of the US.  Fair Dinkum and NE OUBLIE.

 

Reverse psychology? Don't vote for me I am honest?

I am always disgusted at the success of the Murdochracy in taking control of information, true or false, which they decide will be hand fed to the citizens of this once great country.

If I can save the integrity of my country then I am prepared to fight the Murdochracy and the Howard ABC for a fair go for the Australian people.

Once upon a time, I believed just about anything that was written - even in the tabloids because, I thought the opposite was illegal. Or the inference was true and responsible.  How naïve would any young person be these days?

It is a fact of history that, almost all of the increases in the lifestyle of the general Australian public have been enacted by the Labor Party.

Conversely, the Acts which tend to reduce those rights have always been promoted by the conservatives.

While I am in a psychological mood, I cannot remember one major issue that the conservatives have instigated that has served the Australian people without strings attached.  Not the establishment, but the Australian people.

Over the years we Australians have been badly represented by our elected conservatives however, without almost any exception, our history has been that the Liberals (conservatives) have led us into war, while the Australian people have generally been represented by Labor elected governments during those wars.

When will the lies; deceptions; bias and Liberal protectionist policies of the Murdochracy cease?  No matter what the outcome of this Murdoch election is, I will always consider it to be the second most abuse of “freedom” since the Whitlam DISMISSAL.

God Bless our Australia and not Howard’s.  NE OUBLIE.
