A NASTY MIX OF INCOMPETENCE AND VITRIOL IS TANYA

[nero_bolt]

During the brief absence of Opposition leader Bill Shorten, we had an opportunity to view the true colours of his Deputy, Tanya Plibersek, and they were not pretty.

Apart from appearing to be totally unaware of standing orders and being visibly out of place at the despatch box, she showed just how concerned she was at the Holden workers’ plight.

Holden’s Mike Devereux had informed both major Parties of Detroit’s decision to up anchor by 2017 but had requested the courtesy of allowing him to inform his workers first.

A reasonable request that the Government respected. But not our Tanya.

She couldn’t help herself. The opportunity to one-up Joe Hockey was so irresistible she prematurely blurted out the announcement as part of a question, stupidly sheeting home the blame to Hockey for influencing Detroit’s decision. 

The families of workers watching Question Time, or listening on the radio, were made aware of the decision while Devereux was still in the process of explaining the situation to his workforce.

Holden has been existing on borrowed time, and taxpayer funds, for years and it was an announcement the Government had been expecting, as was the Labor Government expecting Ford’s.

Plibersek then proceeded to a Press conference where she announced 200,000 workers would lose their jobs.

No, Tanya, even your union mates say the figure is 16,000 and those workers have almost 4 years’ notice. In fact there will be hardly a ripple in the employment figures by the time 2017 comes around.

But there will be more than a ripple in union membership figures as workers drift into meaningful, alternative employment in the interim.

Madam Plibersek and Comrade Shorten’s concern is not for workers. They are concerned at an ever-diminishing union support base.

Anyway, why are nasty, ambitious and ideologically-driven women attracted to Labor?

And one ponders what type of bloke is attracted to this type of woman.

What has that got to do with anything, especially an MP?

Well, now we know how Nero feels about interpersonal relationships and the value of women.  What a misogynous comment.

My apologies for shouting in big print.  This is the way it came out in 'reply'.

The OP should be ashamed for reproducing this here.  It reads like one of pickerings rants.   Oh wait .... here it is .... why, yes, it is the old crook himself ....

 If you don't have the bottle to attribute this garbage, what does that say about oyu ?

Must admit, she's disappointed me

I supported her in a political forum, but have since had to repeatedly wear egg on the face to the point I now agree wholeheartedly that we should not have to pay her a cent because honesly, you could pull someone off the street who'd do a far better job than whatever it is she thinks she's there for

Maybe whoever wrote that article has secret fantasies about her and is miffed because he can't have her.

All of these NW threads can only mean one thing .. panic in the conservative camp with good reason too, because you know he's already on his way out.
