The project didn't look viable even on the company's own figures & assumptions about prices. You also had Guatam Adani as a counterparty (like bushwalking with Ivan Milat). Those on the right just used it as a pretext for a tribal war & the labour party were too craven to stand up to them.<br /><br />With regard to that other great hobby-horse of the reptiles, Australia day, someone just pointed out that the 26th is also the anniversary of the Rum Rebellion (1808). What better example of the majesty of our institutions than a genuine military coup - makes the heart swell with pride!<br /><br /><br />Befuddledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201490489888639207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-91690796466712679512018-02-13T15:13:57.739+11:002018-02-13T15:13:57.739+11:00Ridders has it arse-about regarding Victorian valu...Ridders has it arse-about regarding Victorian values. The disconnect between Barndoor's professed values and actual behaviour would seem to me to be very Victorian in nature. A well connected individual accommodating his mistress out of the public view and at the public expense couldn't be more traditional (perhaps above an umbrella shop in Knightsbridge). The millennials, on the other hand, are not being censorious at all, they are simply tagging a hypocrite for future reference. This seems like a very healthy sign.Befuddledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201490489888639207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-56486241766846485832018-02-13T14:37:52.701+11:002018-02-13T14:37:52.701+11:00Yair, but calling your wife 'Mother' is ju...Yair, but calling your wife 'Mother' is just a British Working Class tradition, and of course Pence is totally loyal the British Working Class traditions as brought to America by Puritan pilgrims.

The only thing Burke really did wrong was to spend a lot of taxpayer money getting Skye to accompany him on verious overseas 'tours of duty'.<br /><br />But none of that would count with a reptile - they'd go for him anyway (and they did just a bit back in 2014/5 already). But nobody seems to have quite taken up Julie Bishop's "glass houses" taunt yet. Maybe they're all hoping it will all just go away.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-17102982686183738552018-02-13T13:22:34.824+11:002018-02-13T13:22:34.824+11:00Interesting juxtaposition - Joyce and Pence.

I don't know what religious beliefs Burke has but I sure as hell know that the bonking beetroot thinks that his Christian moral values make him a better person than the rest of us.

But I do have to wonder how Tony Burke and Skye Laris got away with it so lightly - perhaps because she didn't get blatantly pregnant while Burke was still married to somebody else ... and he was never Deputy PM either.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.com
