Goodbye Tony

[wynnum1]

And the latest estimates also indicate that the original FTP model would have blown out to 78-84 billion according to NBN co (queue cries of Bill Morrow is a liberal party stooge.....Bring back Quigley) so either the govt cap would have to dramatically increase or NBN co would have to raise a significantly large amount of cash to complete that existing network (and they already have to find another 5-15 billion) to which would throw all the above figures significantly out of whack. I'm not arguing anywhere that business' don't need FTP, just its a waste trying to connect the majority of homes via FTP.

*And also, it will be interesting to see what the returns will actually be...........could be higher or lower, I'm not trying to say that their ******** but it is a complete unknown until the network is completely finished. We'll find out down here first I suppose. Thank you Julia for those delicious barrels of pork.

Build it and they will come like inproved roads and a few months later back to traffic problems movie streaming is the same increases traffic and even with nbn will slow down they have not got very far with the nbn .

Every time I see this thread headline "Goodbye Tony" I, unfortunately, can't help but think of that fat ******* Clive Palmer and his youtube inanities.

Apparently he could put 'em together pretty well, though. Go down to the taxpayer funded gym and take it out on the bags.

Emissions taxing/trading to begin with. That is a stupid idea. It doesn't achieve anything.....

Whether or not you agree with the ideas or think it's a bad policy is not really the issue. It's the constant descriptions of greens and their policies as lunatic that is questioned. ETS is hardly nutjob material. As much disdain as I have for Abbot, I'd hardly describe him as a lunatic.

Fair enough you disagree with some of their policies or think hanson young is an ***** for conflating fictional tv shows with reality but lunatic is a strong descriptor.
Kim jong-il maybe.

Had a bit of a play around with Caption Generator and did a Abbott as Hitler video.

Drew some inspiration from some of the posts on here and hopefully it's taken in the light-hearted way it's meant.

Tried to post it to YouTube, but I couldn't get it to co-operate, so the video is on the Caption Generator site.

hahaha ****, nicely done, had a good chuckle.

 

[seamad]

good laugh.
found this little animation today
Like the revolving door with r-g-r-a-t

That loud crash you heard from Canberra.... that was Shorton's hopes and dreams being shattered.

He'll have to pull his finger out and actually develop some policies and personality rather than trying to be not tony.

Tony Abbots cringeworthy moments. You gotta laugh

I've got to vote today and once again I wont be giving it to either of the major parties.

I started out as a Labour voter in the seventies and then became a swinging voter in the eighties. Over the years I've tended to favour the Labour vote more than Liberal but the last two elections I've been unable too vote for any of them.

Over the years I've always respected people I may not like but are passionate and stand up for what they believe in as the way forward for Australia. Now however I don't know what any of them stand for besides themselves.

Oh well let's see what unfolds over the next twelve months with Malcolm and what's his name, the Labour leader, but if they go to the next election early I'll once again have to give my vote to another minor party. I really hope the young people getting into politics now have more substance than this lot and bring the best out of Australia as a nation for my grand kids too grow up in.

I usually find out who the candidates are and research them as individuals before making a decision.

I agree with you real_beer, of late we have had too many ego tripping prime ministers, the current one included, I think Abbott thought he was doing the right thing but unfortunately being a buffoon doesn't sit well with voters.
I would suspect Turnbull would have waiting for his moment which he knew would come, even in the first attempted overthrow of Abbott in Feb Turnbull was posturing around like a cat who had got the cream, and when the Bronwyn Bishop fiasco was in full swing he caught a train to Corangamite, making sure the media were in place to record it. Definitely a man one shouldn't trust, Shorten fits that bill too

...and then became a swinging voter in the eighties.

No idea what your *** life has to do with anything

No idea what your *** life has to do with anything

Unfortunately in the eighties my wife had me neutered and my old fella seemed to start slowly shrinking from then on, it definitely wasn't big enough too swing much with sexually speaking anyway :huh:

 

[madpierre06]

Beer did that to mine....and cold water.

 

[Blind Dog]

Way too much information

 

[malt and barley blues]

I always wanted to be a swinger, but looking at my wife, I realised I didn't have much bargaining power. :unsure:

 

[malt and barley blues]

We have had an Abbott, we have had a Bishop, looks like we now have a pope.
