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.

You would make any swinging voter and probably even some rusted on LNP supporters vote for Labor!

Perhaps that is what you are seeking here :

The vicious and appalling attacks on me will not garner the response they are designed to. I see the kudos this type of thing gets, cowardly come to mind.

The topic is Plibersek making cheap political mileage out of a human catastrophe and not how to viciously attack the op.

I don't actually spend all my time listening to what every politician says. I usually don't believe them either

Yet, you won't post what she actually said. What she said shows your above comments to be inflammatory, false, misleading and totaly inaccurate. You treated this topic (Ebola) yourself as a laughing matter in the opening posts, no respect at all.

Ebola reaching our region would be 'catastrophic', Tanya Plibersek warns

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 Africa.

"If we see the virus spreading beyond West Africa into the US or Europe or Asia it becomes increasingly difficult to protect Australia because our transport links, our people-to-people links with those regions are very frequent and very close," Ms Plibersek told Fairfax Media.

"The Australian health system is a very strong one, but not every health system in our region is equally strong. It's potentially catastrophic for our neighbourhood if a country in our region with a weaker health system has an outbreak of Ebola."

Labor calls on Abbott government to deploy medical teams to Africa to join Ebola fight

October 15

Labor will increase pressure on the Abbott government to do more to help fight the Ebola outbreak in west Africa by publicly calling for the government to deploy medical assistance teams.

Labor's deputy leader and foreign affairs spokeswoman, Tanya Plibersek, and health spokeswoman Catherine King will write to Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop and Health Minister Peter Dutton on Thursday to request they immediately make arrangements to deploy Australian personnel to the region.

The outbreak has infected almost 9000 people and claimed more than 4000 lives. 

The United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that the number of Ebola cases in Sierra Leone and Liberia is doubling every 20 days, and by January could reach 1.4 million cases on present trends.

In the letter, Ms Plibersek writes of Labor's "grave concern" about the government's response to the rapidly escalating crisis, which she calls "the most serious health emergency of the modern era"

.Australia's contribution to date has been limited to donations totalling $18 million, a contribution that was overtaken on Wednesday by a donation by Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan of $US25 million ($US28.7 million).

Labor supports the government's financial contribution, which has been welcomed by the United Nations, but says money alone is not enough.

It is calling for the government to deploy Australian Medical Assistance Teams, including doctors, nurses, paramedics, pharmacists and logisticians, which were sent to the Philippines last year following typhoon Haiyan. 

It also wants the government to support other specialist Australian personnel such as doctors and nurses to travel to the region to support efforts to combat the outbreak.

The Australian Medical Association, the Public Health Association of Australia and aid organisations such as Medecins Sans Frontieres and Save the Children have criticised Australia for refusing to send personnel to Africa to support international efforts.

If you really believe that the ebola situation is a human catastrophe, you would not have posted a joke about it.

I don't know if you read CS leading up to the last election, but I can assure you that is the exact result that occured.

[lightningdance]

The top level meetings Labor has been privvy to only enforces the cheap political mileage Plibersek and Shorten are running.

They never really come out and tell the truth, just use scare tactics and the catastrophe that is ebola.

You can post all the labor rhetoric you can find, but its an agenda, a political agenda to score cheap political mileage.

[lightningdance]

As I said before. The vicious personal attacks on myself will not garner the responses your attacks are designed to.

[debra9275]

I don't blame her for having what you and bolt etc, call a "po" face

personally I don't really want to be at war

& I don't want ebola infecting Aust.

at any cost

hope that's clear to you

is that the problem, she compared the miltary expenditure to ebola expenditure??

so what did that suppository of wisdom Greg Hunt say to "smack her down"
