Yeah, noot on Mcternan though. I thought he was the hired comedy relief for the evening.

Ooooh Lovely, shiny new flamethrower. Thanks Mk. Good for lefty roasting, figuratively speaking, (sure, let’s go with that).

Sinc, Scottish formal dress can be quite appealing to da ladies too.

Surprisingly manly, in fact.

Fascinating.

I haven’t read or watched anything of Pieter van Hi-alan for years.

The real question is why has SamuelJ?

Call me a cynic, but I’d say things have gone exactly to plan on two of those matters above.

I apply the logic that if they crowed the success of a strategies when Obama won (change mining tax to the “fair share” tax increase), only a moron would not believe they are implementing the same strategy for long term electoral domination here.

Comment on Australian Treasury by Geriatric Mayfly

Are Swan’s daily ramblings, in answer to nearly every question in the House, all his own work or that of Treasury? If the latter, then there IS an intellectual deficit in the nation’s most important bureaucracy. The parrot’s lazy, repetitive responses are simply cringeworthy:
Jobs and growth.
We on this side of the House.
Cuts to the bone.
Those on that side of the House.
The black hole and the crater.
The global financial crisis.
The investment pipeline.
The envy of the developed world.
Campbell Newman’s savage cuts ( to the bone)
Dangerous global warming.

In musical notation: Da Capo.

I always thought CL was over-egging it by naming 'Leftism' a mental illness but reports such as this have slowly convinced me of its veracity:

Democrats criticized Republicans for what they see as a new attack on abortion rights. In a recent MSNBC panel discussion on the bill, University of Pennsylvania professor Salamisha Tillet suggested that this is a racial issue. She expressed the possibility that Republicans support abortion bans so that white women will keep having babies, thereby "reproducing whiteness, white supremacy, white privilege."

his understanding of the challenges Australia confronts is on regular display in Senate estimates hearings

Really? In the latest senate estimates, Parkinson said that he didn’t know how to define a recession.
