A thin Joe Hockey

ladydeburg — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:44:05 GMT

Joe has had lap band surgery. He looked great yesterday at the Press Club but I think it will take a bit of getting used to.

He was advised to go that route because he has a very young family & a very stressful job.

polling and focus groups probably told them that he'd be more popular thinner. his time might be better spent getting a grasp on economics where he's sorely deficient.

He doesn't need a grasp on economics, he has plans to take from the poor and give to the rich, it's a simple strategy.

We'll see bitter desperation when Abbott kicks this govt out.

Labor are in deep deep trouble & all Labor MP's know it.

Combet & Shorten were counting the numbers to oust her but she sprung the 7 month election date on them but she's still not safe from the faceless men.

I prefer she stays to see herself defeated by Abbott, people are sick of her & her failed govt. People are sick of the dirty political manoeuvres.

People want an honest govt, not willing to do anything to stay in power. They are sick of the 1st bloke freeloader, the handbag hit squads, the confected gender war, the divisive politics, the spin, the failed policies, the waste, the damage to exports, the Green stranglehold on govt. the desperate machination of the traitors Windsor & Oakshot, the education failures, the billions dollar mad spending spree of Rudd, pink batts deaths policy failure, the looming threats to freedom of speech.

The litany goes on & on

shorten and combet both have faces, i've seen them. the rest is opinion and not factual. oakshott and windsor chose the more competent people to side with based on the facts put before them.. the facts are that abbott and hockey weren't up to the job.

I heard an interview with T Windsor, where he told of a grovelling and begging tabbott (apparently he said "I'll do ANYTHING to be PM") before the decision was made.

What about all the previous OHs? The biggest "freeloader" of them was JH. She did nothing but whisper in her husband's ear all day and night. He was rather ineffective without this prompting. (A bit like Reagan after the 1st two years when he became ill). The PM went for 24 hours ONLY to Washington for a war talk, and she went with him. Why? This is freeloading IMO.

Exactly, no answer has been given when that question has been asked before.

On 24 November 2008 Nicola Roxon, the Minister for Health and Ageing, appointed Mathieson as one of the government's Men's Health Ambassadors, an unpaid role.

Mathieson says he is passionate about his volunteer role.

Mathieson is also an ambassador for Kidney Health Australia and a patron of the Australian Men's Sheds Association.

He is also involved with the Indigenous Diabetes Association in Alice Springs and with mental health group beyondblue.

In December 2010, Tim Mathieson was appointed Patron of the National Portrait Gallery

The previous patrons were Thérèse Rein (wife of then prime minister Kevin Rudd) and Janette Howard (wife of then prime minister John Howard).
