even Rudd and the labor party isnt as NASTY, petty or bitter as what I am seeing in this thread

 

 

 

Rudd, Abbott back Lib candidate over gaffe

 

 

 

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, too, was in Mr Diaz's corner.

 

"I understand the Liberal candidate for Greenway had a few challenges yesterday. I'm sure some of ours will at some stage or another," Mr Rudd told reporters in the Queensland seat of Griffith.

 

"That's just life in an electoral campaign. If you've been through as many as I have you've seen anything happen."

Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said although it was the first gaffe of the 2013 campaign, it wouldn't be the last.

 

"I think anyone who's never made a mistake ever is entitled to have a go," he told reporters in Sydney on Tuesday.

Is a gaffe not answering a question?

 

He was asked the same question several times, does he know the answer nero?

 

He will by tomorrow lol

I can't see any nasty posts

Maybe the member for Greenway went to the Tony Abbott school of public speaking:

But he is going to stop the boats Donna. Give him a break.

That was embarrassing to watch. Nero, surely you can't support this man who clearly doesn't have even a basic understanding of the lnp policies? I think it demonstrates two things... That the lnp have no policies (and that their planned austerity cuts to the bone are so harsh the leaders won't even share them with candidates)... And two, that the slogans simply don't make logical sense.

No wonder rabbit won't debate!

If he couldn't remember only six points of a key policy, then he'd be better off quitting politics and going out and getting a real job. However, in his case, I fear it would be employment as unskilled labour.

 

The quality of our politicians on both sides really is abysmal.

 

 

 

 

Vote: None of the above.
