Don't you advocate a FREE CAPITALIST, CORPORATISED STOCK MARKET DRIVEN GREED BASED BANKING CARTEL SCAM System?

How is this the states problem?

Why don't you write a letter of complaint to your local bank manager, stock market director or some other multi national corporate scam artists?

Did you enjoy the way the TAX PAYER, all over the world bailed out the corporatized banking cartels? THe very scam artists who caused the economic mess we are in at the moment.

Did you also enjoy the fact that the rich elite don't pay very much tax at all, and have actually become RICHER post Global financial crisis?

Do you support the 40% of Australia's TOP 100 companies who paid ZERO tax last financial year? (the remaining 60% of these top 100 richest Australian companies paid on average 16% tax)

How much tax payers money do you want to hand out to foreign multinational corporations just to employ a few people here?

I suppose you are also very content with the fact that about 83% of our mining and energy resources sectors are foreign owned. And they employ only 3% of Australians. All our TV networks are foreign owned.

You have a clear choice to make.

Either educate yourself thoroughly about what the world is about and who it benefits, or continue embarrassing yourself in public with your un-informed and ridiculous posts you freaked up corporatized putridly stenched out fascist clown puppet!

Quote:

So. at midday, Brough was aware that the menu had been drawn up by a non-party member, who was now deeply apologetic.

But wait … how could Brough have known this, if Richards didn’t contact him until later in the day?

Remember, Richards didn’t write his letter to Brough until after seeing the story on the evening news.

And in his letter, which was subsequently distributed by the LNP, he stated the following:

As you know no one at the dinner was privy to such a menu, and it is so unfortunate that an in-house joke between myself and my son has caused you great problems and embarrassment.

How, then, could Brough have known that Richards ‒ a non-party member ‒ was responsible for the menu when the ABC article was published at midday?

Thoughts?

Mal probably made the statment before he told Richard what had happened.

If Gillard had big tits and a small ass none of this would have happened to that nice honest man, Mr Brough. We all know the integrity of Mr Brough don't we? He who helped that poor young man that Slipper wanted to fornicate with. Disgusting lefties.

I laughed when I read it. Gillard has desecrated the ALP brand enough to prompt that kind of a reaction, at least within the inner Lib sanctum. You do have to ask why she went for the lowest common denominator the day before this was uncovered, by unsheathing the gender scythe. She's at a dead end and this looks like a last ditch resort. The photocopy of the menu was surreptitiously uploaded by an employee onto Facebook three months ago, so they say. Gillard's crew have had it sent to them, kept it as ammo in the gender bank for a rainy day... and now whaddya know, kapoom. There shouldn't be any apologies for this, if it is all a Machiavellian setup. The Liberal Party should act as the better party in all this, and turn the other cheek. I doubt they will though.

Kudos to whoever wrote it; Richards the restaurateur, the man on the moon, Les Patterson. Genuinely witty in comparison to Abbott's repetitive dribble. This kind of thing went on holus-bolus in the old days behind closed doors, and stayed there. What happened to robust debate? Genuine insults? Fisticuffs at dawn? A bygone era, and a sorry state of affairs for Australian politics and general public discourse

The guy is a Liberal sponsor - He had probably sponcered the event (paid for it).

Looking at the responces yesterday morning - the casual matter of fact unconcerned way that Hockey Brough and Abbott responded it looked to me that something was wrong. They just didn't seem to think it was a problem.

Like they knew in advance that a different story was going to come out later that day.

It may have been another ashby - another set up.

Menugate a scam Yes maybe it was another in the series of Liberal scams.

Agreed, Grendel. Internment camps for the leftard criminals will also be required.
