in a neanderthaler sort of way. in a civilised country people would have been disgusted by his behaviour. not here though. aggressive machos are well regarded here. c

Looks like I've stumbled into the kindergarten.

 

An O.P. doesn't "own" a thread - they start a discussion and others respond as they see fit.

You can't have it both ways. 

 

  


Rubbish. Abbott is running the country (even though he and his crew continue to act as if they are in opposition) and must be held to account for his actions. What Shorten does is of secondary importance, until he becomes PM at the next election.


I agree 100%.

That is the tone of the thread.

 

You are all quite happy to tell others what they can't post on threads.

 

And you especially, bossing people around I see on various threads last week.

 

 

 

I would have thought that you had a similar matching photo to go with Glee's on the othert thread,

although they do say no two icebergs are the same ??????? Smiley Wink

Does it still work ? Smiley LOL

Where was (sic) the independent media photos and video ? Then again, if it is unsafe for a few Australian media then it is unsafe for the Opposition leader of Australia, he shouldn't have went(sic) there either.

 

Maybe he just isn't as desperate for macho-man photo oportunities as Abbott. Maybe his visit was more about seeking information than seeking publicity.  It's not as if nobody reported the visit.

And let's face it, if there had been photos and videos all over the news you would have been the first one one jumping up and down and accusing him of trying to upstage the PM.

 

 

 

Shorten usurp the PM in front of troops ?

 

Now that's a laugh.

 

The PM at 50+ can hack it with soldiers half his age and they said so, they said they were impressed.

Shorten would die in 10 minutes, that is if he had the balls to give it a go.

 

 

 

Just a reminder.Bill's not PM.Peta is. 🙂

 

OK jerk, now worries.
