Mr Corbett could of stated he is a member of the Liberal Party and that he was electioneering for Mr Abbott.

There again it would be embarrassing to be a conservative.


Why should he publicly state his political inclinations? If he should be forced to, then why not me or you? Are you going to call the local newspaper tomorrow to put forth your political views? Grow up! Corbett is entitled to have a view AND to express it, regardless of whether you agree with his view or not.


So is Doug Cameron!!!

Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


Wow, you totally miss the point. Cameron is trying to silence Corbett for voicing his opinion, as is his right in our free society. Not just silence, but drive him out of his job. I'm not trying to silence Cameron - no one is. I'm just trying to point out the utter stupidity of Doug's hissy fit. It's apparently okay for a person to make public their views on the ALP and Rudd - as long as it's favourable, it would seem!



Mr Cameron has every right to make a call on the independence of the reserve bank board.....Your whole argument is based on only one side of the political divide being allowed an opinion.....How pathetic!!!

What Doug Cameron said.....

Quote:
The ABC reports that Mr Corbett's office said the businessman had been a member of the Liberal party for "several years", Senator Cameron today said Mr Corbett should resign.

"I just think trading on your position as a reserve bank board member, trading on your position as the chair of Fairfax and not disclosing that you're a paid-up member of the Liberal Party is outrageous," he told ABC News 24.

"I'm calling on Roger Corbett to do the right thing and resign as a member of the Reserve Bank board.

"He should not be there when he's running an agenda for the Liberal party.

"He has been absolutely deceitful and he should resign."


Doug Cameron has called for Roger Corbett to do the right thing and resign as a member of the Reserve Bank board.....He has not called for him to be silenced at all!!!

What part of what he said do the luvvies think is inaccurate?

PS I note Fairfax now is in the sights as well as Murdoch?  Roll Eyes

Will the luvvies not accept that reporting on a shambles of a chaotic government is just that, reporting on a shambolic chaotic government?

Or has it all been good at the Labor helm and everyone rowing in the same direction?

And when it comes to censorship and muzzling the press I present Conroy and Roxon. 

Quote:
ROGER CORBETT: Well, the story is almost bizarre, isn't it? I think it's quite sad that the Labor Government made the decision to go with Kevin so late in the period. I think if they come undone in these elections it would have been much better that they come undone with Julia Gillard leading them than Kevin Rudd. In my view Kevin Rudd is a leader that has been really discredited by his own conduct. His colleagues sacked him because they judged him to be incapable as PM. He, it's alleged, was active against the Government during the elections, maybe true, may not be.

EMMA ALBERICI: In 2010, you mean?

ROGER CORBETT: Yes. The perception was that had a terrible effect upon Labor and probably put them into a position where they needed to enter into coalition with the Greens which was a very limiting factor in their last three years and they were destabilised in that last three years. Again it would be seen by a lot of Kevin's activities. So here's a man that really has done the Labor Party enormous damage, destabilised it and is now wishing to present himself to the Australian people as a PM and as the incoming PM. I don't think the Australian people will cop that, to be quite honest, and I think that's very sad for the Labor Party.

what a goose..



You mean like those who oppose Abbott on here shouldn't have the right to their opinions?

Why the smack do you lot support the Right being able to say anything they like, but the Left being
silenced of any and all opposition or dissent?

That's called totalitarianism, and the Right are past-masters at it.

Neo-Fascist, Nationalistic GRUBS!


Where/when did any righty on here try to deny someone the right to express their opinion?

He's saying that someone shouldn't be in a job, simply because he has a differnt opinion. Do you think he'd be saying this if Corbett had come out all in favour of Labor?

Also, you avoided my question - when has any righty on here tried to prevent someone from expressing a contrary opinion?

No.

Just another example of the way you sit there insisting that black is white, and vice versa.

It's a fair bet that when you say something, the exact opposite is true.

Armchair_Politician

The first point Doug is dead wrong on and many here will agree with me on this, being critical of Rudd1.0/Gillard/Rudd2.0 government does not translate into supporting Abbott ........ the government is losing the election more than Abbott is winning, many voters who are also independently thinking people think exactly the same..

Also the RBA is meant to be separated from the government, this has clearly been demonstrated by these comments, does Doug think he should be accountable to the government say like in a communist regime ?

Also what is wrong with the RBA expressing an opinion about the economic performance of a government ? They usually express this on a monthly basis in a formal report.

The problem for Roger Corbett is that he needs now to play the same hand to whoever governs next ..... which seems to be the LNP.
