Sunday Night Live!

Abbott supporters should have a mouthful with every ‘er…umm’

They’ll be pissed in 10 minutes.

I bet 100/1 they won’t talk about the hiatus in global temperatures.

At least with Rupert being in the news “lefties” now have another person to demonise. Instead of AbbottAbbottAbbott it is now RupertRupertRupert. However I think publicity is better than no publicity.

“Meanwhile you’ll find piles of The telegraph and The Sun Herald dumped outside cinemas and theatres in Melbourne… They can’t even give the fkn things away!”

That’s odd. Newagents usually return unsold papers for credit.

“Publishers on the other hand simply dump copies in public places to artificially maintain circulation figures…”

Probably a bit of that too

Gee,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ya gotta be tight with phraseology around here when the North of Tweed Grammar Cop comes on stream

‘They are shipped en masse to regional centres’

Not sure they do that anymore.

What the fuck is a cimemas ?

Please explain? 😯

Is it the same as a theatre or is it just an alcove to dump unsold papers in?

Saw so many boat people out & about today. Too scared to leave my house from now on! 😯

I swear one was a white man who’d stolen a brown person’s face; probably so he could pinch an Australian job at Kmart.

“Thanks Walrus I stand corrected.”

You still might be right about shipping to regionals Eg as alot has gone on at News and FJX since December.

But they do still do an earlier edition as you’ll see them in Sydney Petrol Stations early Saturday evenings and the one delivered by the Newsagent will have full coverage of Saturday night sport i.e, AFL, NRL Trots etc

It is hardly credible that the Libs are blathering away and whinging about the no advertising convention, when they’ve broken a the important convention of having policies costed.

Without costings their economic and integrity credibility slides to nil.

“Funny, you usually recognise typos”

I was role playing a grammar nazi, TB.

It’s interesting that the Liberals are already preparing the electorate for a loss by Abbott.

Liberal sources say Mr Abbott is the underdog and they expect a slick performance from Mr Rudd in tonight’s debate.
But they argue the Prime Minister is better at talk than action.

Ability to debate and articulate a position is a sign of intelligence, so now wonder the Libs are preparing for a loss.

Good catch splatter.

I wasn’t coming because I thought there was a two drink maximum.

It’s all about – “family, jobs and the economy!”

Innovative approach by Kev!

“Cost of living pressures”

Slurp!

Stop the boats!

I’m drinking a 2004 bin 28 and think I might have to go back to the basement to resupply shortly

I know I had a view about Julia’s earlobes, but really Tony’s are unsightly

Go Abbott!

Keep using your winning scowl! It makes people feel comfortable about your dishonest evasiveness!

Go Abbott!

Widdling on about pink batts doesn’t look desperate at all!

“Turn back teh boatz*”

*When it’s safe to do so.

Refresh my glass please, Jeeves.

The fat bloke behind Lyndal looks interested!

Go Abbott!

Perpetuate the trickle down misconception!

Yay for giving more to those with the most!

Tony looks quite impressed by Kev’s points

Yes, but Tony needs to grow his hair longer, and shape it into a flap, like Mr Trump. That would complete a make over

Go Abbott-Trump!

Next ask Kevin if he was really born in Kenya! Demand his birth certificate!

Not the middle, reb! The ‘sensible centre’.

I think Kev just inferred he is pro-fracking.

Go Kevette!

‘I wasn’t coming because I thought there was a two drink maximum.’

LOL

Go Abbott!

Talk more about Industrial Relations. People trust your plans to curtail their employment conditions, for their own good.

Tony – We need better aged care!

His grandparents old!

A strong point there

His grandparents still live!

I like nurses too!

It’s a good point Tony makes.

This is the bit where bolt gets sulky with his boy tones.

Tony’s grandparents would be so proud of him. Old people like dumb middle aged men with blue ties

Hartcher is a Klimate Wetter!

Who many bags of potting mix is Tony promising

How many

I would vote for potting mix. If he throws in mulch my vote is assured.

The Barrier Reef is quite safe, as those here well know, thanks to snacty

I think Kev is using sign language or doing a liturgical dance.

Tony gets Bunnings vote with the potting mix promise

It’s a very important issue!

Abbott wins

Go Abbott!

#someofhisbestsistersaregay

-Much to be done.
-A new way
-Puts to bed stuff

Back to the basement for another bottle

Kev is going to forge a new way!!

That sounds nice

“stop the boats!”‘

I’m pissed

“Roadz of the twennyfirstcentury”

Whose shout? A man’s not a camel.

Tony’s left ear is clearly his better one

I have had a good laugh all and I am only on mineral water.

Thanks, though it does involve a little work. I’m getting some new “dancing moves” for Fifi.

ToM’s having a weekend at Menzies’.

Having a rotting corpse beside me on the plane is probably better than some of the company I’ve travelled with

Apparently Kev cheated by taking notes in.

Bolt says Abbott won ‘by the length of the straight’…and that Abbott made himself look Prime Ministerial! (* guffaw)

No monocular bias at work in Bolt’s analysis at all.

Only rusted-on Ruddites would say Kev won.

“Only rusted-on Ruddites would say Kev won.”

As opposed to rusted-on Abbottlickers calling it for Abbott?

Potato/potato.

#someofabbott’sbestsistersaregay

Andrew Bolt~ “Abbott won by the length of the straight (coz I luv him). He didn’t just deny Rudd the win Rudd badly needed (coz I said so)- he actually smashed Rudd (coz I said so) and showed he was more ready for government (by refusing to detail anything).

Abbott came out looking prime ministerial, if anything (coz I luv him). ”

Go Abbott!

#piedpiperofrightwingwetterzwatcher

🙂

#longtermboltwatcherborderingoncompulsivepreoccupation

To be perfectly honest, IPA, I rarely have watched Bolt since he went behind a paywall & ‘legalities’ forced him to censor most of his hilarious vapid/rabid commenters.

But, at pivotal political moments I tend to have a look, usually safe in the knowledge that he is about to dish up precisely what I expect (and what we can all expect to hear, by way of talking points, from his legion of blogging sycophants & deputies). He never fails to disappoint.

I put my observations on here because, let’s face it, there’s no way he’d publish them there.

I was at work and missed all the ‘excitement’. I did record it but have no interest in watching it, you lot have given such a great account of it.
No heady stuff like a political debate for the staff at my workplace, all I saw during my break was the gigantic head of kyle sandilands!
Apparently most journo’s find it too hard to call, everyone united in the opinion that it was the most boring debate ever and nothing new came out of it, same old stuff that we’ve heard for yonks.
So, kevvie’s a cheater, he may as well have written all over his arms. Tony doesn’t need notes, he’s remembered all his slogans well, can parrot them all day every day. No notes needed when you have no new detail to offer anyway and won’t tell anyone how he’ll manage the most important issue of the election, the con-o-me. Sighs of relief from conservatives everywhere, tony has ‘stepped up’ and done himself proud, didn’t look like a menacing thug once, he’s even been declared PM material!

Better go with eleventy’s hockeynomics, he’s been telling voters to add it up themselves!

Thank you all for such an amusing account, I’m lol.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/11/debate-sketch-yawns-galore

…Part of the problem was with the format. Short, tightly scripted answers interacting through the host does not a debate make…

Suits the abbott style though. Why have so many ‘rules’ that you don’t even engage with each other?

…Abbott was smooth, on message, but said little. His was the slicker performance, high on rhetoric, never more so in his closing statement, when he looked straight into the camera and offered his heart to the Australian people like a lovesick teenager…

“I rarely have watched Bolt since he went behind a paywall & ‘legalities’”

He’s not behind a paywall at the Daily Terror. Just go to “Opinion” and all the News Ltd blogs come up

Fcuk the Lot of em. With a cricket bat.

ouch!

Yes, that’s a strange situation, the gay sister who is rock solid behind the man who won’t advocate for her equality and right to marry whom she loves. Bob katter’s gay brother has been quite active against the katter party’s anti gay rhetoric. Rudd’s brother speaks out about rudd’s politics/policies. You can love your relatives and still disagree with them in public. I imagine the whole abbott family is prepared to do whatever it takes to have the parent’s ambitions for their son fulfilled. It is abbott’s destiny to be of greatness, all we have to do is play our part in making that happen.

Rudd should have called an early election after he stabbed jools, within the honeymoon period.

Tony would be great on the world stage, advising leaders to pull their fingers out of their a**es, the fingers are stopping all those suppositories of wisdom from getting out.

So the people’s choice.., the man of the people…….. the people’s PM refuses to debate Tony Abbottaf a People’s Forum.

Oh dear .

When is the next fishing boat leaving for Indonesia?

Ps I am going to get someone to show me how to do links so I can deliver things to your doorstep like the half chewed rodents my cats dragged in when they still lived and delighted me.

My cats are amusing me this morning. They seem to bore around more, running up walls & launching over furniture like acrobats, in the morning.
Not sure what they’ll do when I go to bed in a sec. Probably sit in the sun like freeloaders.

They’re always glad to see me after I’ve been away at work. Pets are good like that.

This will be news to our resident South Oz power-price monitor, I suspect:

“Harper pointed to South Australia as an example of renewable energy investment pushing down the price of power. The state currently has more wind power generators in operation than any other territory in the country, with renewable energy accounting for over 20 per cent of their electricity supply. The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) recently reported that wind generation is moderating wholesale electricity prices in South Australia.

“‘The states with renewable energy benefit from lower energy costs when enough renewables are put onto the system. [In South Australia] we have seen that contributing to a lowering of electricity prices,’ he said.”

The “independent” report was commissioned by World Wildlife Fund. 🙄

A friend was given a course of suppositories by his doctor – one a day for a week. After seven days the doctor enquired whether the suppositories had had the desired effect. “They were completely useless” said my friend, “I might as well have stuck them up my arse for all the good they did!”

By a strange coincidence I’m reading ‘A History of Rome to AD 565’.

chuckle

Even I can laugh at some of the things Abbott says but this article in the SMH just aint exactly funny. In fact its schoolkid humour atybest

And they wonder why no one buys Fairfax anymore ?

http://www.smh.com.au/comment/tony-abbotts-election-victory-screech-revealed-20130813-2rtp8.html

““‘The states with renewable energy benefit from lower energy costs when enough renewables are put onto the system. [In South Australia] we have seen that contributing to a lowering of electricity prices,’ he said.”

Lowering of energy prices, my arse! 😯

For whom? people with solar systems?

Renewables only have benefit when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. I watch the spot market price fluctuate at work everyday. I call bullshit.

That quote needs a lot of qualification.

I’m bound by confidentiality not to discuss aspects of my employment, however…I can say that the second qtr of this year has seen unparalleled highs in electricity prices, directly stemming from ‘no wind’ to drive the nearby wind turbines…& the manipulation of the market by those neck deep in the scam.

‘I call bullshit.’

I second toilet.

“It must shit some that people can look beyond their own self interest in supporting certain politicians or otherwise.”

Miss the point much, snacty?! 😯

* Go Abbott!

“Antagonist.”

I have strong suspicions about that commenter’s identity. As much as it tries to disguise its writing style, it can’t hide its inherent nastiness.

Not sure why Dianne would come under siege though.

I’d have thought her entirely reasonable & honest contributions didn’t deserve the virtual slap.

Who could say when dealing with that piece of work? I think she might have offered some (balanced) criticism of Rudd at one point.

“You think it’s TB?!”

Hah. He can be mildly annoying at times 😉 but he’s not nasty.

I wish I could go into detail.

It is patent bullshit.

“I wish I could go into detail.”

Go on, elaborate. Nobody’s listening.

“As a longtime Hirdhater”

I’m no fan of St James, either, but I am hugely anti-Dimetriou, and would feel a certain sense of quiet satisfaction if Essendon were exonerated in court, and Andrew and Co were left defeated and humiliated.

Not that I’m being vindictive or anything.

*Demetriou

(It’s all Greek to me.)

“Go on, elaborate. Nobody’s listening.”

Sorry, malicious voyeurs who’ve previously identified themselves as taking an interest in personal lives outside of the blog watch for openings.

I value my employment.

You’ll just have to trust me. I am in a position to know.

‘Those of us of a climate/environment/energy-realist bent notice this kind of activism on “their” ABC all the time.’

Yes, they are blatantly pushing the Klimatariat’s musings, along with SBS and Fairfax. The CSIRO and BoM are also an integral part of the state’s propaganda machine.

This is a conspiracy to defraud the Australian taxpayer of $150 billion over the coming decades and I demand justice for this crime against humanity.

Must say I have hired quite a few people in my time and even when I was deep in the corporate world when I introduced a new finance manager or
controller around the office not once did I get the teams together to say to them

“I hired her because Her academic qualifications are great, she has the experience, she can manage large teams, she has a great record of achievements and finally I think all of you would agree she is really fuckable”

I should have known better than to think I knew better than a Wisdom Suppository. 😆

“……..wisdom my arse………..”

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a type of fruit

Whereas wisdom is knowing not to put it in the fruit salad

A novel way to get drunk.

Its strange the way sw turns up and Dianne disappears…. perhaps its a superman thing.

I appreciate your political pragmatism, splatter.

It seems like only yesterday that jools was warning Australians that seas will rise by a meter before the end of the century.

‘JULIA Gillard has turned her back on working-class Altona for a $2 million beachside bungalow in Adelaide.

‘Ms Gillard and partner Tim Mathieson are believed to have snapped up this week the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, complete with an award-winning solar and gas-heated Freedom Pool, with starting block and swim jets.’

Hate machine?? That sounds strange coming from a leftie who are the masters of hate.

And what wrong with helping an Australian company (Manildra)??

Well Manildra should be helped. Its an Australian company making ethanol. Isn’t that want lefties think we should be doing?? Renewable fuels? Why import it from Brazil if we can make it here.

I guess you are saying political favors have been occurring. Could be true. Maybe not.

“In the meantime people will have to postpone their weddings until Abbott evolves.”

The Gay Marriage issue will not get the ALP any seats in Sydney. They already hold the inner city seats like Albanese, Pliberseck and Garretts old seat where it does resonate. The only true “gay” seat is Turnbull’s and he’s pro same sex marriage so he’ll be OK not least because he spans inner city and the eastern suburbs coastal wealth belt.

If we move out to the outer suburbs they are less concerned with the same sex marriage issue and in fact in the Parramatta and general northwest areas you have a strong Hillsong/Christian vote and in the south west you have the Muslim vote.

So who do you think that lot will feel more comfortable with if their vote came down to a choice between a Yes or No on same sex marriage.

But as I said they care more about transport cost of living and job security out that way.

Same sex marriage wont resonate a great deal.

“BTW, where’s 7:30 these days (nudge, nudge, wink, wink … say no more!) ”

In the face of the eroding ALP poll support I’d say he is trying to work out some weird argument as to why he still maintains the LNP is no chance on 9 September.

He’s good at comedy

“Nature, isn’t like that (ie the “attack” on Di) nor Adrian … the rockshifter isn’t that “smart” either … although he’s nasty it’s more of the street-fighter … with hob nail boots …

I agree with, ToSY, though (I think afew of us do), we’ve seen a similar “style” somewhere over the years …”

I agree with all of that.

It is pretty clear that it’s a ‘familiar’ voice. Both semi-recognisable & obviously familiar with contributors here.

Far too articulate & lucid to be dirtman.

Things are looking grim for Kevette:

Business Spectator: ‘Kevin Rudd and the Labor party are facing a landslide defeat in the September 7 election, new polling shows.

‘A new national survey co-ordinated by Torque Data, and based on data compiled by RDA Research and Australia Online Research exclusively for Business Spectator, points to a 3.8 per cent swing to Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, with 90 seats going to the Coalition and 60 seats to Labor.’

Abbott has displayed a tremendous amount of discipline in refraining from committing any extreme gaffes, despite certain sections of the gatekeeping media attempting to exaggerate minor slips such as #sexappealgate. Should he win theelection, however, and subsequently display an obvious unfitness for such high office, we can add his name to Gillard’s and Rudd’s on the PM dishonour board. After all, both were deemed unfit to lead the counrty by their own party.

It is fairly clear that he will win theelection.

I’ve made peace with the idea, much as it raises my hackles.

And Abbott knows that.

Mind u who gives a flying fuck if 20,000 useless c$$ts in Canberra lose their position*?

* insert Position or Job dependent upon whether padding or work is there.

Thanks Tom. I am afraid I find things a bit too amusing. Life is really the theatre of the absurd. Just look at the two Leaders!

A walrus waving a spade would be frightening. Not a matter of right or wrong. Just terror.

And things get worser and worser for poooooooor Kev in another Labor held marginal seat

“KEVIN Rudd is facing more campaign drama after a Labor MP attacked a star Liberal candidate – who served on the frontline in Iraq and Afghanistan – as a defence “bureaucrat” who worked “the last 25 years” in Canberra.”

TB and Walrus-rescuer-of-dolphin-carcasses. I am amused.
