He’s an animated masterclass in the art of misdirection.
Only because the suckers think it’s all about money so ignore the fact the guy just waffles.

He may not be as corrupt (yeah, right) but he is not the full quid. The man’s a complete drongo!
They are all on the same page. I am not a conspiracy theorist! They all get together to convince each other something will work then they go off to their Countries and implement. We reap what they sow then Murdoch steps in and dominates the media. It would be funny if we had more than one planet

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Moz,
Moz, I loved my time there. Must admit ,much was a haze but the shit still penetrated. I had Australian girlfriends going out with Maori and would put Aboriginal down openly, loudly. I'd confront it a lot but they couldn't see a connection. Being half Mexican (rest English Irish) people think I'm a bit exotic but on the street I pass for Maori and man do I love that I seem equal with so many different types of people. Not so much in the States or Oz or the NZ Police but luckily I have a family and education that says "fight for your right" and doing so makes my life good. Aboriginals that I knew then were the Artists so slightly accepted but I still saw it as patronising. Having said that I have some Art and I love it. I read a book once about going walkabout. Cant remember the Author but the lessons I remember about survival made me believe the Aboriginal are our Ancestors so due much respec'

Can we now say you have a dry wit?
:) Plus I'll add seeing as others are, Matthew your life is your business and I have no judgement of that but I have to say I was just deeply disappointed to hear a man with such a voice and opinion would let a Party dictate to you how to vote and that you see fit to forgive the National Party that has treated the country ,it's laws and it's people with such little regard, but, your vote is yours and so be it.

I had a great time in oz for 11 years but I left for a couple of reasons and one was the underbelly of prejudice. It was always there just beneath the surface. Even amongst our group of friends. I couldn't believe the total disrespect for Aboriginals. I couldn't live with it in the end. These friends were a mix of ethnicities as well. But every job was the same also

which in reality are looking like being coalition partners, and the Greens might one day be the larger party.
They always have looked like they could work together and I doubt their policies are soo much the same ,it will be perfect because it’s about compromise. The Greens advantage is that they haven’t been in power to make mistakes. Goff when leader of Opposition did say they made mistakes and they believe they have learnt valuable lessons from it. That sort of comment never makes the papers. It’s a shame people get stuck on that. Like Rogernomics ( although completely different ) really . Douglas and Prebble . They went on to become Act. But Labour wears the badge.
