Abbott in Government

[whatmeworry]

Another great BOLT report today - only facts are important opinions are unimportant.

So that means Bolt's opinions are unimportant?

Don't 'worry' about it mate. Just stick with the facts...

Ahh Tony making history disappear!

So the policy is: Repeat 3 word slogans ad nauseum until the lies they contain are believed to be true (by the sheep), then delete all previous mutterings so no-one can see the lies now being stated. Does he think that there are no other records of what he has said in the past? Surely he's not that dumb? Oh hang on .......

Appearing on Channel Ten's The Bolt Report, Mr Abbott was played a clip in which Education Minister Christopher Pyne said: ''You can vote Liberal or Labor and you will get exactly the same amount of funding for your school.''


''I think Christopher said, 'Schools would get the same amount of money'. And schools, plural, will get the same amount of money. The quantum will be the same,'' Mr Abbott said.

Paraphrase " I think Christopher will say what I tell him to say he said" Lie, Lie, Lie

Could waste my beautiful Sunny Monday finding hundreds of false and misleading statements (and LIES) from Rudd the Dudd and Gillard – but I won’t!

Fair enough, much easier to come up with the lies and misleading statements that are currently coming non-stop from Pynocchio and One Term Tony - no need to have to go and find them.

I don't blame you. Coming up with a single alternative example of such breathtaking dishonesty would be hard work, but hundreds of them?

So do you support Crass Pain and Despicable T on this issue specifically, or just the "adults" being in charge in general?

Why? They're history. Irrelevant. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that. Typical distraction when your false gods appear for all to see.

well that got a bite...

Yeah, and it probably wasn't very nice to make you look so silly but you did ask for it. You need to work on your back-pedalling skills though. HTH

Oh so this is your standard of morality and ethics in Australia: Its perfectly fine to lie, as long as you dont tell as many lies as you tell yourself that others did. And of course you can lie about how many times you want to tell yourself that others lied. Got it now, thanks.

But apparently you are expected to lie to Indonesia because if you don't that's just poor diplomacy

Re: Oz Federal Election 2013 - Discussion and Comments

Finally sorted out my Australian tax for last year. Hadn't known about the nasty change to CGT for foreign citizens (backdated to may 2012, legislated in mid 2013.). Very slimey. The paperwork required is a nightmare and it contains some basic mistakes in their logic.
They may be gone but they haunt people like me.

This is what's called a false equivalence fallacy. Always features high on the conservative fallacy list.

There are good reasons not to tell potentially hostile foreign powers what you're doing with military and intelligence assets.

Can you come up with some good reasons not to tell your own citizens how you intend to fund schools ?

What did your MP say when you lobbied him/her about this outrage?

Relax – take a deep breath...

Have another look at the thread title “Playground” “For all non-serious talk!”

So you are saying that an apology would have been a lie? Thats how it works in Phoney Tony's world.

No I'm saying there are those here that suggest he should have made an apology promise not to do it again then continue to spy on Indonesia. Apparently that's accepted diplomatic protocol.

Is it? Only on Planet RWN could that be thought to be correct.

Then again, it's not as if One Term Tony seems to be aware of any sort of protocol for anything. it's a fair bet to say that he'll just continue to blunder along under the inept direction of President Credlin until the next election when we'll have a new Prime Minister.
