  • Well, I have proved that it is Ian Barker who is the real moron from his utterly stupid posting here. My views are reflective of the wider, right thinking Australian community Mr Barker! So there you have it!

  • Goodness gracious me, that unbelievable ridiculous stupid idiot, Labor's legendary slagging-hardman, that "theatrical" speechwriter, phony Tony Albanese was spruiking-puiking on 2UE's news this morning: "we have got the economic fundamentals right"! For what? To become a 3rd world country within 10 years with phony Tony Albanese waltzing off with a most undeserved parliamentary pension. This self serving unionized Labor government is economic illiterate. BORROW, BORROW, BORROW, WASTE, WASTE, WASTE POLICY! Just look at Labor's disastrous, fraudulent global warming, carbon dioxide tax which is already badly impacting our falling economy and our daily lives. We need talented patriotic Aussie business people running Australia not these two faced, traitorous Labor socialists. Who are nothing but "wrecking" union dummies, filling their own deep pockets on the way out the door.

  • In relation to the previous posts. Dont think for a second labour is incompetent. They know exactly what they are doing and their masters will praise them for it. The act of bringing western countries down to the third-world level is very much intentional and was planned a long time ago. Look up "New World Order."
