Rudd does nothing to calm Howard's propensity for spending our money

I, too, am confused by Rudd. I am one of those for whom Howard is a cur, a deceitful blob of political chicanery, a liar and, aside from the Liberal rubbish that sent us to Vietnam, the worst example of duplicitous behaviour.
But Kevin ... oh dear! I ask: where is the opposition? Since Rudd's accession to the Labor throne, Howard has gone berserk and Rudd and his motley crew have done nothing to calm the old Liberal and to stop Howard's propensity for electioneering with the nation's wealth.
At least Latham stuck it in Howard, ground his point so that we, the electorate, knew where Labor stood.

The camel certainly did not "laid down" on the woman. The camel lay down on the woman. If the camel laid down on the woman, she would be covered in down. Simple English, fellers!

Israel the Terror of the Middle East

Oh for Pete's sake! Would you expect Rubin to say anything else? Let's look at history ... where was Israel in 1946? Where was Palestine in 1946? Now look again ... this time in 1949. Where was Israel and where was Palestine? Someone decided that the Arabs were not as needy as the Jews. What happened? Well, today continues to add to the history of that region and compiles a litany of land theft and grand colonialism. Work it out for yourselves, Aussies! If you can't then examine our own country's history and see if there is not some parallel.

Palestine belongs to Palestine peoples

The 20th century produced one of the worst examples of colonial arrogance in that Palestinian people were subjected to an unwarranted invasion of their lands by a European-centric population that mysteriously claimed the right to a section of Palestine.
This neo-colonialism continues to smack the Palestinian peoples in the face by backing Israel in whatever mischievous adventure that Zionist state wishes.
It is time that European descended peoples the world ocer recognised this political malady and helped to restore Palestine to the Palestinians.

Chinese drivers

I have returned from three years in China. One hundred thousand kiddies were killed on Chinese roads last year, mostly on their way to and from school. Four hundred thousand all in all died on Chinese roads. But a full quarter of those killed were kids. That says something about road conditions in China. The driving culture is horrific. Drivers use klaxons, horns, sirens even, to propel a sonic boom in front of their cars to clear the road ahead of pedestrians. They don't slow down. They simply drive straight at them.
I was hit by cars three times, twice on a university campus. The other time a car left the road, raced onto the pavement and collided into me. The driver alighted and abused me for bumping his side mirror as he careened into me.

Tenants! The law does not protect a property owner. Simple as that. Knowing John Jarratt I would reckon that he was taking the piss out of himself by injecting his Wolf Creek character into the effort to rid himself of nuisance tenants.

Greatness! One needs to be careful when calling upon superlatives for description. Certainly Howard's government has been the greatest deceivers in Oz political history; they have been the greatest wasters of our national resources; they are the greatest racists; they have the greatest proclivity toward sending Oz troops into endless wars; they are the greatest neo-colonialists of the modern era ...

Ernie Dingo! I named my dog after Ernie. For many years, since the show Heartland which starred Dingo and Cate Blanchett, I have advocated Ernie Dingo to be our first President. I would want the world to know Australia through its President. And then, wouldn't we all begin to breathe a bit more easily as Australians would feel that old Aussie pride seep back into our psyche.

Her Majesty's Australian Ship Sydney. That's what HMAS Sydney stands for. When journalists write or say "the HMAS ... "; they are simply saying: The Her Majesty's Australian Ship ... and this does not make sense. It is correct to say HMAS Sydney and not "the HMAS Sydney".

Howard orders invasion of Aboriginal Australia

Australia's indigenous populations are not a foreign enemy to be invaded and humiliated. Why the army? Is not the army to be used for defence purposes? I don't think the use of our armed forces will serve our internal social harmony to any positive extent. To my mind the 'second invasion' is not representative of my needs and wants; it is purely a political stunt by John Howard a few months out from an election. Since there are no children overboard Howard has used the community of Aboriginal peoples for his nasty political needs.

Similarities between John Howard and Brian Smith

The problem with Brian Smith is that he's terribly boring. He used to be a radio commentator with ABC on a Saturday arvo and by crikey he'd bore the holes in a fishing net. Listen and watch him talk about footy and you end up staring blankly, in that "snap me out of it please I'm in a trance" kind of stare.
He may be a good bloke but he's tiresome. His voice grates. And worst of all he's inclined to squint just a little too much like John Howard for my liking.

John Howard wants to be as tough as Mugabe

Kevin 07 may wish to be Prime Minister, thus he apes John Howard to a certain extent. By extension, does wanting to be someone else require a similar apeing? Or, in reverse, does apeing someone else imply wanting to be that someone else?
My point, Matt, is that John Howard's behaviour certainly apes that of Robert Mugabe. Does this imply our PM wants to be Mugabe; or merely wants to be regarded in the same mould as that lunatic dictator?

Robert Mugabe holds court over a country that somehow has deserted him. Hitler felt much the same as he blamed the Germans for the war's loss. John Howard reminds me of Robert Mugabe. It is everyone else's fault but his. Blame Rudd for agreeing with him. Blame the States for being the States. Blame ... ten cents a shot ... name something else that John Howard can blame for his appalling reputation for deceit, arrogance and denial.

Howard wraps himself in Aussie flag

Our GG has become lost among the flowers of Canberra for we never seem to see him doing his job. No, that part of the GG's job description has been taken over by John Howard. You are so on the spot with your analysis, Phillip. My wife and I have been talking about 'President John' for many years and his presidential 'syle' has become more ostentatious in recent times.
Have you ever seen John in a suit that is not dark- presidential?
Wrapping themselves in the Aussie flag ala Presidents from the USA has become derigeur for our political leaders.
Having Howard clones standing behind and in obeisance as our PM delivers yet another homily to 'his people'.
All the vestiges of the Presidential atmosphere that has cloaked our political system.
Yes, we have a president so why not let us have our President?

Piers, old son, there is no satisfaction in pulling Howard away from the spears of the electorate. No, Piers, we want the satisfaction of letting the dishonest Prime Minister know exactly how we feel. We shall grind his political nose into the raw dust of our poverty. We shall remind him and his cohorts that the reputation of our nation has been tarnished by Howard's clumsy governance of ministers who continually stuff up not only their responsibilities to us, yes, us, but ruin our reputation as comfortable international neighbours.
Yes, Piers, come election day and we, not you, not the pollies, we shall construct our own nation and you will be writing through your tears, Piers.

Isn't it tragically sad that the Prime Minister, historically famous for being a liar, continues his lying by denying that he is a liar. When does this spurious cycle end? At some time Howard's penchant for self-importance has to grind to a stop and allow the truth to be seen. Howard has dug his own political grave with a huge shovel of dishonesty.

At last! The great Australian electorate has displayed its recognition of Howard's and, by extension and by practice, the government's DISHONESTY. I was beginning to despair of my fellow Aussies in that they had not shown distaste for Howard's lies. Now I am relieved, thanks to the Telegraph. There are more of me out there, millions of us I now reckon, who simply hate being lied to.

Piers Ackerman knows a terrorist when he sees one

Oh I agree wholeheartedly, Piers ... Haneef had that look in his eye that told me he was as guilty as hell of being a bloody foreigner. I mean to say, gee, what is the world coming to when our former slaves are allowed to treat white people. You can see the bloke’s a darkie.
Kevin Andrews is a top bloke. You can tell that he’s as perspicacious as anyone else in John Howard’s line up of political superstars. Not a hint of deception; not a thread of dishonesty. His intelligence shines as a beacon for us all to follow in his path toward an Australia where only right-minded people can breathe the fresh Aussie air.
I watch you when you’re on 'Insiders', Piers, and I must admit you handle the ladies well. Your body language is a treat for us all. You have remarkably small and chubby hands for one who likes to meddle in murky waters. But your strength is easy to see in that you never budge from your point of view, irrespective of how heavily you are mocked by they who know you.
