Sir Pository has been given the arse.Now he'll have a spare one to sell.

This man supports the green movement so he will probably side with the greens come election time and we all know how idiotic the greens can get with a little power.

At the risk of creating another 78 pages....

As a member of the only party in parliament that bases their policies on actual science and evidence instead if slogans and knee jerk populism, could you point out exactly how the greens get idiotic with a little power?

And by counterexample, point out how the two majors don't get idiotic (with or without power..., up to you).

maybe they will all stab each other to death

Not if they're all stabbing the Turkish Prison way, like in Midnight Express.

Time for a new email account: MalcomTurnbull_TurkishPrisonStabber@...

 

[GalBrew]

Hopefully the change will see the end of slogan chanting morons from both sides and see well thought out views articulated and debated

The other side requires change to enable this

Time for leadership not sound grab politics

Cheers

Surely you jest??

This new wealthy hombre has a fierce reputation for being all for Malcolm Turnbull and f*** the rest of you. This man supports the green movement so he will probably side with the greens come election time and we all know how idiotic the greens can get with a little power.
..... scary ain't it?? </abbrev>

I can't see him siding with the Greens, or vice versa, not unless he needs the numbers, and that's not on the cards at the moment.

Simples - because it is clearly idiotic to base policies on science and evidence and possibly the rather outdated notion that we are custodians of this planet for future generations, rather than schouting 'stop the boats' louder than the other mob

wonder if the same *** marriage will surface in the next few weeks

I'm a Brisbane Bronco's supporter but I'd like to congratulate Jarrad Hayne for achieving his dream of playing in the NFL :icon_cheers: .

Australia's the best place to live on the planet, it's people are creative with fantastic ideas for new technological breakthroughs that would give us outstanding prosperity as a nation. But sadly we have a system in place that allows people to nurture and grow unbelievable ideas and then let other countries harvest them because our system has no way of backing or encouraging them. I hope the young people now coming through the political system steel themselves and make a commitment to change this disgraceful pattern and help build a country where dreams grow to fruition and prosper.

Just in the home brewing scene we've had Craftbrewer Ross give us the quick keg carbonation method, PistolPatch Pat give us BIAB, and more recently we've seen the no-chill wort method. The last two of these were initially heavily criticised then gleefully adopted by many brewer's around the world, what more can you say :lol:

It's doubtful that Malcolm Turnbull, or anyone else for that matter, will side with the Greens any time soon after Julia Gillard's little episode with them.

The Greens have these policies that seem to be all nice and bubbly when they are thrown up from the sidelines, but the more they succeed, the greater focus there is on their policies, some of which are less designed to be implemented than to attract votes.

When it has found itself holding the balance of power, like with Julia's snuggly relationship, the Greens have struggled to reconcile its whacked out principles with the demands of governing.

Their policies turn out to be, you argue scientific, I say purist dribble.

 

[Dave70]

I've long thought they should ditch the folksy 'Greens' moniker in favor of the more grown up 'Environmental socialist alliance party'.

Again I ask... what policies are, as you put it "purist dribble"? What exactly is "whacked out" about them?

I suspect that by "whacked out purist dribble" you really mean - "things I don;t agree with".

Meanwhile back at headquarters.

Make sure you read Bolt suggesting it was a political assassination driven by the ABC against a decent man of integrity.

Well. That was hard work, opening up the Herald scum and reading an Andrew Bolt article all in one day!

Ahhhh... The Australian... for real whacked out purist dribble...

But in response - why not? If the floods are linked to climate change caused by burning coal, why not make them pay for it? if i accidentally light a fire and it burns someones house down, they can quite rightly sue me for damages. At the moment, companies don't pay for a lot of the environmental damage they cause (the economic tern is externalities) and they should.At the moment, companies privatise profits and socialise risk because government s (and by extension taxpayers) pay to clean up after them.

You make a mess, you pay to clean it up. I have no problem with that.
