Okay, I will give an example - their comments on boat people, for one.

Thats not a clue, thats a position on one issue .... not every rightie agrees with every single thing Abbott does idiot. Grow up!

I don't agree with labors PNG solution, does that make me a rightie too? Grin

No, but it is a clear left-wing position on their behalf. They both also strongly defended the ABC, the reporting of the RUMOURS about boat people injuring their hands due to Australian navy personnel, and said that the government is demonising boat people (paraphrasing here).

Matty's got voices in his head ....

I'm not interested in what they said on certain topics ...not evey liberal voter agrees with of shore processing .... the truth is you have no idea how they vote, and you simply cannot accept that anyone can be critical of Abbott

That is not the case at all, and I myself have been critical of Abbott once or twice.

That’s right, Matty. You once said how useless his wife Margie is and how much better you could do in the position of First Lady.

You’d stop the boats, we know that much. Loose lips sink ships, eh?

The left always outnumber the Right on Q&A and then you have the LW stalwart of a compere.
The Insiders have much the same problem 2L, 1R... and LW Barrie... not to mention the LW cartoonists etc.

Very true. Sometimes they even have three leftists and no conservatives. This sunday just gone was actually okay, they had a conservative, a lefty and I think a centrist on, so very balance. That is very much the exception, however.

Usually because Akerman goes on and makes a fool of all conservatives.

Piers is my favourire one on there. He speaks the truth and is usually the highlight whenever he is on the show.

Impossible, Matty. Q&A would never allow it.

Too biased, you see.

and yet you assume that because anyone who speaks out against the attacks on the ABC or the of shore processing they must be lefties. ... Cheesy

Idiot! You really are full of it.

I watched the show, and you are, quite categorically, wrong.

Again.

I will leave the personal insults to you, Kat. Care to show how I am wrong?

Barnaby Joyce - conservative.
Nick Cater - conservative.
Tanya Plibersek - leftist.
Ray Martin - leftist.
Akmal Saleh - leftist.
Cassandra Goldie - leftist.

Just because people are not loony fringe loonies, like you, does not mean the are lefties. There were two imaginary lefties, as Pliberseck is hardly a true lefty, two extremist loonies from the right, and two centrists. No wonder you're the forum whipping boy. Roll Eyes

Lol, Plibersek is one of the most left-wing people in the Labor party.

Still plastering your bias and ignorance across the 'net for all to see?

Isn't it time the extreme loonies on this forum realised that just because people don't agree wiht the view of the world as told to them by Tony, Baranadi, etc, it does not mean that they aren't right-wing.

Centre-Right is the traditional right in this country. Hence it would be no surprises that the vast majority of the audience in Q&A would still give a crap about the environment, education, health, asylum seekers etc. Because, unlike the loony fringe represented by the matty's of this world, centre-right isn't that far off from centre-left.

Yet again you say that I am an extremist, but not a single shred of evidence to support the claim.

the evidence is in this thread alone. Grin

Loony. "They don't agree with a government position...they MUST BE LEFTIES!!!" "I don't agree with what they are saying. THEY MUST BE LEFT!!"

Grin

You should become left, matty. Get some rationale in you.

I think Piers stopped appearing because he realised his sweaty stuttering nonsense doesn't do him any favours.

The audience in QandA veers toward the "progressives". The audience's reaction to the panellists and the topics involved reflect that. It's odd that 40% supposed Liberal supports would boo their own or remain entirely silent throughout the show. Quantum is right that the topics the Greens are obsessed with get the most cheers, yet are only ever about 10% of the audience. Something doesn't add up.

Once again, your assumption is that a typical liberal supporter will:
1. Not agree with environmental policy, gay rights,assisting asylum seeker etc.

That is not a left ideal. It's a centrist ideal. And the majority of Austrlaia, the vast majority, is centrist.

So your assumption is wrong, as typically the issues discussed on the show have majority support of the public, and it's a shame that we have an extremist PM with an extremist ideology, that simply get supported by the extremists of the liberal party, who happen to make up the majority of liberal party posters on this forum.

Anyone who doesn't believe in open borders for asylum seekers and supports gay marriage is heckled on the show. That's not centrist. Gay marriage concerns hardly anyone; for most people it just doesn't register as an important issue, yet it gets talked about time and time again.

Reply #179 - Feb 6^th, 2014 at 8:43am Perhaps they can talk about other things about gays rather than just their wanted rights. Perhaps the show can talk about faeces and arseholes. But that's not so trendy or sexy is it.
