Plibervola Outbreak :)

[lightningdance]

Got a good laugh out of this one, he sure nailed her. Poor Bill had to try to cobble up some kind of response that didn't make him look like the empty showbag his comrades know he is.

Rowan Deans nails the posturing of  Plibersek:

Authorities within the Australian Labor Party were scrambling this week to try to contain an outbreak of the deadly Pliberbola virus, with frantic calls for the exposed leadership of Bill Shorten to be immediately quarantined…

The Pliberbola crisis came after Mr Shorten recklessly wandered into the national security debate with no protection against the extreme risk of being infected by a deadly dose of bipartisanship, caused by getting too close to Tony Abbott.

“Pliberbola is the most virulent strain of undergraduate socialism the world has ever seen,” said a spokesman for Mr Shorten…

The virus is believed to have mutated in the 1970s in the Democratic Republic of Marrickville in a freakish contact between batty undergraduates and hard-core Marxist union enforcers, or apes, which in turn infected the gibbering idealists of the Greens.

How the virus crossed the species barrier to infect normal, sane, rational human beings is not known, although the first identifiable case has long been rumoured to be a large man with a booming voice known only as Gough.

And on The Bolt Report, Rowan Dean wrapped it all up by describing Eatock v Bolt as a complaint by “dark-skinned albinos”, at which Bolt gave a chuckle. Thank god that’s not racist, otherwise you’d have to conclude such people were scum. —  Guy Rundle

Would you please explain?  How is calling for Australia to do our bit about controlling Ebola "cheap political mileage"?

Bolt will probably have Rowan Dean on his show this week. After all, he only invites guests that are going to say exactly what he wants them to say.

Exactly. His show remains on TV not because of a large amount of viewers but because he has the support of L. Murdoch and G. Rhinehart..he is a mouthpiece for them.

The topic is Plibersek making cheap political mileage out of a human catastrophe. Derailing much?

As a top World Health Organisation official warned of the "huge" consequences of an Asian outbreak, Labor's foreign affairs spokeswoman Tanya Plibersek continued to press the Abbott government to send Australian medical teams and technical experts to tackle the outbreak at its source in West Afric

There are plenty of articles available online of Tanya Pilbersek giving her views (direct quotes) on the Ebola situation.

Why did you not quote one of those LD if you are SERIOUSLY concerned by what she said? You could have addressed each point she made and given your reasons why you think she was wrong.

That would be a discussion. What you started here is cheap shot for political mileage, which cheapens a human catastrophe.

[debra9275]

so are you saying that her asking for more to be done is a cheap political shot?

OK

[purplecarrot-top]

I think the op would rather not do that because heaven forbid she just might agree with Tanya. Unlikely but miracles can happen.

[cherry*135]

The opening post immediate source is Bolt's blog. There is nothing wrong with commenting on the source of articles in an opening post.

The OP could have written an opening post in their chosen subject in THEIR OWN WORDs, if they had Bolt wouldn't have been mentioned.

What did Tanya Pilbersek say that you disagreed with and what are your reasons for disagreeing with her?. If you genuinely want a discussion about her, then you won't get one until YOU put up a genuine argument in your own words, for discussion.
