"I contunually find it staggering, how the Australian public love to unmercilessly bag their elected leaders"

"Would you rather live in a country like Laos? Seeing as we don't, we live in Australia, openly criticising any current Govt is perfectly normal and it doesn't result in getting thrown in jail or worse."

 

I think you may be better off addressing this to evil_akuma_2002. After all he wrote the first comment.

I think she did, it's just the forum has a peculiar way of indicating the post is in answer to the most recent poster, which might not have been posted when the person started writing their post.

tezza - I just clicked on reply to the last msg, which happened to be yours. evil-ak figured out it was a reply to him as I quoted part of his post.

Bit of a silly question there,am*3?

Of course I'd rather Australia.

 

If you see it like that. Maybe not you, but several posters get anti when others criticise the current Govt. As I pointed out to you and them in the past, there is nothing wrong with doing that in Australia if people feel the need to. If political posts are still available to read on CS, it means they didn't contravene any posting rules therefore I don't see why anyone needs to complain about them ( especially to say we should not be bagging out a Prime Minister etc).

 

As Gllee pointed out TA was the most aggressive Opposition Leader ever, his followers lapped it up. He lowered the bar. Now the shoe is on the other foot, they can't hack it.

It's all rather funny when you consider the tone of the many threads per day which were started to attack, and defame Gillard.

Re imported frozen food origin labelling.

Abbott says, No:

"But Mr Abbott did not support changes to food labelling laws.

“It’s always got to be a question of getting the balance right because every time we demand more regulation, every time we demand different types of labelling, we add to the costs and the consumer has to pay,” he said.


But wait, there's more - fast forward less than a week later


Abbott says, Yes

"Prime Minister Tony Abbott says changes to country of origin food labelling will be as "business-friendly" as possible.

Mr Abbott today confirmed his government was determined to deliver on changes, which have long been sought by farming and consumer groups."


Joint Labor statement:
"Now that Mr Abbott has finally backflipped on his recklessly carefree attitude and established a process, Labor looks forward to finding a bipartisan solution on an issue that is vitally important to Australian consumers and producers."
