If a man is called a Chinaman, a member of the Labour Party will always be found ready to rise and protest against his employment. I have no sympathy with any such narrow-minded pettifogging views.
Ha,ha! But only when the Conservatives do it!
Not a peep from the leftist media when Labor does it!
Aha! Today’s “Me, too!” thread!
🙂
Will somebody pop down to Albo’s favourite Thai Rub’N’Tug and explain to the girls that according to Albo’s rules, he is stuck with whatever man or woman the head of the business dictates, and can not ask for his favourite.
leftist media
pleonasm or tautology ?
Oh…..poor Mr Albasleazy is upset at treating the Public Service as a plaything……as opposed to him and his moronic party treating the PUBLIC as playthings.
I know he has to say something, but this buffoon wants to be Prime Minister? Turns out, you’re just a politician of no consequence! And your friend Shortarse……well, he’s just another moron who thinks the sun shines out of his arses…..he does have two.
Perhaps he’s just aiming at this stage to impress the Labor membership with his opposition leader type skills.
Nice spoonerism Tomix. You mean “neoplasm” right?
Why is there so much support for Albanese? Even A Bolt seems to like him. The guy’s a looser. Cannot speak peoperly and apparantly in person cannot make a decision.
You mean “neoplasm” right?
Pleonasm is correct. But you do have a point. Nice pickup on the anagram there. 🙂
You mean “neoplasm” right
i do now – neoplasm and tautology
Perturbed – snap
So the “True Thai Rub-And-Tug”‘s most famous “tugee”, Alwaysleazy Albanese (the A.L.P.’s former Deputy Prime Brothel-Crawler), thinks that Tony Abbott is using public servants as “playthings”?
I thought that was what Alwaysleazy’s opponent as A.L.P. leader, Short Willy did – just before he packed them off down to the abortion clinic to be “fixed up” for further duties under his enlightened leadership.
Alwaysleazy of course would never lower himself to such sordid activities – he always uses the 457 Visa girls down the Marrickville “Rub-And-Tug”.
‘Aw Geez, I don’t like ut when me Austrayan public service is picked on .But I don’t mind makin’ up names for the achool workers pwotesting against me and me best mate Lindsay Fox. Those Fu…..ng dumb arsed, bastards from private enterprise like that convoy of incontina……uncoount…….incontine………old bastards with no bwadder contwol, well thats roolly cool and that.’
Look it up, I believe his dad was “uncle Arthur” and his mum was “Mrs Sparkle”
he guy’s a looser. Cannot speak properly and apparently in person cannot make a decision.
Perhaps there’s not a level of ‘sophistication’ there needed for the top job if that’s what A.Albanese is aiming for.
He has already alienated conservatives by his convoy of no consequence and fighting tories remarks, but I doubt the ALP memberhsip minds that, in fact they probably think it is really top stuff.
A level of sophistication ………………………he has none at all.
A small smidgen should even be required by labor, although we don’t expect much.
This bloke is so dumb that as transport minister, in a labor government he was completely controlled by one big business owner, and as his puppet minister made rules only to benefit that particular business. Totally without a clue, and taken out to dinner by big business, the word incompetent is just not strong enough for this dope.
I wonder if comrades albosleazy and shortass coul stand a thorough investigation of All their affairs ,past and present ?Come to think of it could most politicians and members of the “law trade ” withstand such investigations?I strongly suspect few of them dont have Skeletons in the Closet! Raise your right hand if you are in favour of this proposal!
Er,the references to a knock shop might be a bit over the top???
I do hear that Albo has talked to Ray Hadley about a certain picture of him and Ray now won’t hear of anyone condemning that good fellow Anthony Albo as a brothel frequenter.
Pity I can’t tell you why he went to the Thai place or if he claims a “Thompson” defence to the snaps or not!
Ridiculing Anthony Albanese over his visit to a Thai massage parlour is both cruel and unfair.
imho ‘T-Bone Tone’ was likely innocently inquiring after the welfare of the local ladyboys.
For decades the Labor Party, both at Federal and State levels, have made an art form out of putting their own supporters into top jobs in the public service as soon as they get into government. There is very little complaint, or comment, on this from the media because they now accept it is as the norm. Now we have the screaming and yelling from hypocrites like Albanese and Shorten when Abbott gives some of these Labor appointments the flick. The only thing that is special about these now discarded individuals is that they were cheerleaders for Rudd, then Gillard and then Rudd again. Some of them were just not worthy of being retained and I put Steve Bracks and Tim Flannery at the top of that list. Bracks, in particular, has nothing at all to whinge about because he disposed of many public servants in Victoria when he became Premier simply because they had been appointed by the Kennett government and not for exhibiting any right leaning bias. He even sacked the then Governor Jim Gobbo because he had been to a lunch club, which the paranoid Bracks believed was a group of right wing plotters against Labor. Bracks is a dill, he always has been one and he will stay one until he departs this earth.
The Abbott government has not yet ridded itself of the many public servants that remain devotees of Labor first and their job second. They should not ease back on sending that lot packing as quickly as possible. Letting these white ants stay will only endanger the government.
Again I quote
When vacancies were to be filled, a quite new emphasis had by 1975 settled on party loyalty and ideological soundness as necessary criteria for appointment. To head the newly-created Department of the Media, Jim Spigelman stepped straight out of Gough Whitlam’s own office; Peter Wilenski, who had never even served as a Second Division officer, was made Secretary of the Department of Labor and Immigration. But what of the character of Whitlam’s appointments to the very highest offices? Of Senator Vince Gair as Ambassador to Ireland; of Senator Lionel Murphy to the High Court; of New South Wales Chief Justice Sir John Kerr to be Governor-General?
See the rubbish Mungo MacCullum writes?
Yes, sure. In the MacCullum model, Tony Abbott would ask his department to scrap the carbon tax and would get a reply that, no, they will not scrap the carbon tax.
