Ahhh, democracy at work...

She still has a point -

let them live in Iran or Saudi Arabia if they want sharia law.

Give the bloke a go? Why? He sought and strove to become PM, the most public position there is. Along with half a million dollar wage—ridiculously high BTW—and fiddling travel expenses come bouquets—and brickbats. He doesn’t like the brickbats let him retire to private life.

Besides which he is fomenting hate and division, presides over a shambles that 5 months later still hasn’t introduced all the Budget Bills to Parliament so he is well due many, many brickbats! Useless incompetent psychopath!

I watched her on Insiders. Even though she's a bit of a doey I couldn't help but agree with her. That old snozzled  idiot that compares Insiders argument was how can they practice their religion without practicing Sharia Law. Well I'm afraid because  they came here they will have to give up a few of their laws. You know why do-gooders- because we have "our" laws and this is "our" country. They left "theirs" behind.

Thrown in at the deep end is always a bit of a shock to some. I think the PUP mob are starting to realise that with their political success comes political nouse. I think deep down you will find that Ms Lambie is a blond.

I don't know how some of the characters around here would answer questions in front of a camera without the benefit of the powers of googlefu.

Islamic law is fundamentally split amongst seven major schools of thought and is not a contiguous body of legal thought.

That is why there are extremists at one end who advocate the death penalty for anything at all, with Allah the final judge and effectively the handing off of all the work to Allah as a result...... and we have some thinking, considering jurists at the other end who seek to find the middle way between rabid law and the need for some measure of law and enforcement., and who do not consider that Allah should be handed all the work for them.

(Down at the Olde Paradise court)...

Chief Justice Allah:- "Jabriel, I think we'll take a recess.. can you guys take five and sort out the next million or so cases for today?"

Jabriel:-  "Sure.. we'll sort 'em by the kind of case they represent, and you can do them as job lots.  that OK?"

Big Al:-  "Not much choice - damn - I wish I'd made these days longer.. or you guys would do something about those ayatollahs and such down there..."

Jab:-  "We would, but that would only add to the workload up here.  Imagine the arguments those guys would put up to defend some of the things they do!!"

Big Al:-  "OK.. I get your point.  We'll leave the Ayatollahs and such to the will of someone else for a while, maybe that Obama and his mate Abbott if I can get him off his ass... all bloody talk that lot... then until we sort out this mess up here.  Court is recessed for lunch!"
