  3. They lied. They all lied. And they’re lying still. Every time they open their mouths to speak they lie with tongues that could uncork wine bottles.

  4. You need to run two vids daily – the first is the Gillard Promise and the second is the little bastards celebrating after it passed.

  6. It has finally dawned on me why I’m so bloody angry about these morons who are interferring in our lives – not one of these fuckwits have ever built something from the ground up! They have been on the public teat all of their lives or as union hacks on the backs of lower paid workers.

    They have no idea what it is like to get to a point & think, yep, we are doing okay – my employees are happy, they have a future, my bills are paid – I can perhaps take a holiday this year (for the first time in fucking well forever!) and then have someone go, nope we want some of what we think you have….

    I mean let’s be honest, most small business people live from pay cheque to pay cheque.

    I’m just so over being told what is good for me & mine – I know what that is, these fuckwits don’t!

    For the first time in my life, it doesn’t matter if I’m at the local club, the hairdresser or talking to suppliers – people talk politics – and we aren’t happy.

    The damage that is being done to our community by these idiots is mind boggling – and it started with the PC crap where we were constantly being badgered as racists, uncaring and denialists….

    I think the slapper & the slime need to understand that we are well past the point of being reasoned with – I want my country back & I want it NOW!

  7. Apology but I can’t make myself watch.

    The recent Combetism which annoys me most is his blaming Mr Abbott for supposedly wolf-crying about the tax (ask a Kurri-Kurri aluminium worker about that) when he is himself being Chicken Little about global warming. Pure 1st rank armour plated hypocrisy.

  8. This link belongs in the Shorten/gst link, as well as here:

    CLIMATE Change Minister Greg Combet has back-pedalled on comments made last week on national radio suggesting farmers can pass on increased costs from the carbon tax back to consumers.

    Mr Gillam said Minister Combet’s comments clearly showed the Labor/Greens/Independent government “has no idea about farming, let alone on how to control the weather through a tax”.

    “One would expect that a Minister of the Crown involved in selling the benefits of the clean green economy would be aware that throughout the history of civilization there has never been an instance where a farmer has been able to set the price for his goods let alone pass down costs to the consumer,” he said.

    Egad. Both Ministers have no idea.

  9. Very funny remix of what the Labor rabble have said/promised on various issues (not just the CO2 tax) interspersed with a few choice words from Kevni.

    Labor, your mate?

  11. Leighton scores $122M Asian power plant build

    LEIGHTON Contractors (Philippines), a part of the Leighton Asia, India and Offshore Group has trumped the field scoring a $122 million contract to construct a 300 megawatt coal-fired power plant project in Davao City and Davao del Sur in the Philippines.

  12. Combet is probably the worst of them; and that’s saying something because the slapper looks like my ex.

  14. My wife works at an alternate health place – all soothing music, incense and calming environment.

    She sent me a message the other day as to how shocked she was that so many of the clients were openly voicing their anger at The Slapper and the hot air tax.

    She’s used to it from me ( eyes rolling ) – but never seen it before in her practice, which is usually a politics-free zone.

    I am starting to wonder if the famed Hawker-Britton focus groups are really that representative and guiding Labor to the promised land of permanent victory in the news cycle ?

    I mean, how often would you volunteer to go back and help Bruce Hawker focus his way to another million ?

    Maybe, just maybe, these groups are about as representative of diverse opinion as a Q&A audience. And hence part of the reason that Labor MPs sit so smugly when in Canberra reading the research, and only reconnect with reality when they get back to their electorates ?

  17. The utter hypocracy of Combet and Labor.

    Labor eagerly crawl into bed with the Greens so they can smugly sit on the Treasury benches, subject us to a Greens inspired CO2 Tax they promised we would not have, force feed us the propaganda Combet spews nightly – THEN when they realise the public are ropable with their lying and deceit Labor turn on their bedfellows. We saw this tactic on display before of course with KRuddies last PM bid.

    And soon, we will be asked to trust these cretins yet again?

    It’s amazing to me that people who reject the idea of “homo oeconomicus” can believe that political manipulation will work all the time, forever. Once people figure out that you think you can game them, they’ll rebel.
