EXCLUSIVE: TONY ABBOTT’S VICTORY SPEECH LEAKED BY LNP INSIDER
The Gutter Trash is in receipt of Tony Abbott’s draft election victory speech which, with thanks to our exclusive sources, we can reveal here…
Fellow Australians
Today I stand before you a humble man and a proud Australian. The Australian people have spoken this weekend and have sent a clear message that they want change.
My team and I are ready and eager to accept the challenges and responsibilities of governing this great nation with enthusiasm and passion, and I personally stand before you ready to accept the responsibility of the Prime Ministership, which I take on with a great sense of humility, seriousness and commitment.
Fellow Australians, as I mentioned earlier in this election campaign – this is the most important election in a generation, and I stand by that claim now.
It is clear, from this election outcome that subjective things like low unemployment, low inflation and low interest rates are no longer sufficient to maintain this country into the future and what we need now is productivity. Improvements in productivity that deliver great gains in business profits employment opportunities.
{pause for applause}
Because, only through increasing productivity can we make this once great nation grate great again.
{pause for applause}
Only a Coalition government can keep interest rates low improve workplace productivity and today the Australian people have spoken and have given us a mandate to create that change.
Accordingly, later today, we will be announcing a series of innovative workplace productivity reforms that will create a resurgence in business profits employment opportunities for all.
“LeisureChoices” is all about creating a relatively secure source of employment for those disadvantaged Australians who suffer from an excess of leisure time and poor mobility.
This Coalition government will alleviate these crippling conditions with a direct action employment plan that offers underemployed Australians the opportunity to travel and explore new employment opportunities in exotic locations.
{pause for applause}
As I have promised you all, this Coalition will scrap the mining tax.
{pause for applause}
This will happen after we establish a Mining Tax Review Committee to identify and review the complex business considerations that may arise from this detailed, in-depth deconstruction because one thing we won’t do, is make idle promises we cannot keep.*
[*This is a good point, say it two or three times to make it sound important]
{pause for standing ovation}
In addition, this Coalition Government WILL review the Carbon Tax and establish a Carbon Tax Review Commission with a clear 3-year mandate to assess the validity of the scheme with a view to completely remove where it is considered sensible and logical to do so.
{pause for applause}
We have also promised to slash company tax, and increase it at the same time to fund our key commitment of a fully-funded paid parental leave scheme. Treasurer Hockey will take on this responsibility and head a comprehensive panel of experts with a dedicated focus on implementing some sort of scheme within the term of this government.
{pause while crowd goes wild}
This Government is serious about addressing the issue of problem gambling that is tearing some families apart. because some people lack the will power to know when to stop throwing their money away. We know that most Australians enjoy a punt, and so one thing we won’t be doing is punishing the majority of Australians who enjoy supporting their local club with a friendly, social punt and a pint.
{pause for applause}
For this reason, James Packer will head up a team of hand-selected experts with specialisation in gaming psychology, to develop appropriate solutions and responses to tackle this crucial social issue. The Gaming Workgroup is committed to developing real solutions to address these concerns and have given me their absolutely commitment to deliver a 10-year plan (or draft discussion paper) by 2025 at the absolute latest.
{pause for applause}
Finally, when it comes to asylum seekers, the Australian people have spoken, and have told us clearly, in no uncertain terms, that they don’t want innocent lives lost at sea, or on land for that matter too. We remain a warm and generous nation, but the reality is that our processing centres are bursting at the seams. We simply cannot take any more asylum seekers.
Earlier this year, we announced that we’d be buying back the boats owned by the smugglers at a decent market price. Today, I am pleased to announce our intention to expand these plans, and can disclose that we have just purchased Indonesia from the Portugese for an as yet, undisclosed sum.
Indonesia, or Australianesia, as it will be known from October 1st, will fall within Australia’s international borders and become a comfortable home to the already thousands of asylum seekers there, and effectively eliminate the need for them to travel to Australia.
New arrivals will be sent to Bali to learn all about “the Australian way of life.”
My government and I stand, proud and ready to serve, and to make this once great nation, great again.
Thank you.
{hold your hands in the air like Rocky, but try not to grin, just nod sagely, like Jesus might’ve, as crowd goes wild}.

“…..Australians who enjoy supporting their local club with a friendly, social punt and a pint.”
A pint ?????????????????????
“I would like to thank John Howard, who really is the suppository of all wisdom, for his guidance and support and his sterling example which I unctuously hope to emulate. I also thank His Eminence Cardinal Pell for hearing my slavering confessions and granting me absolution for my filthy sins. A round of applause please for the next Governor-General of Australia.
I thank my wife and beautiful daughters for their heroic efforts in making me seem at least vaguely human. Without their distractions I would be seen more clearly as I am – a stunted neanderthal cunt muttering nuttery whenever I open my mouth.
Lastly let me give a special shout-out to Australia’s next Treasurer Jokin’ Joe Hockey – every campaign needs a village idiot to take the heat off the leader and you really have left that buffoon Barnaby eating your dust in the Jolly Jester stakes.”
Funny!
“A round of applause please for the next Governor-General of Australia.”
😆
“In addition, this Coalition Government will tomorrow commence scrapping the carbon tax, dismantle the green machine and sack the Klimatariat.”
Let’s see Leigh give Abbott a grilling.
Indeed egg! There is at least that to look forward to.
Well, it’s good to see that you lads have produced some quality journalism at last and have finally recognized true greatness. I’m proud of you!

The epiphany has only hit home about 2 1/2 years late… 🙄
I didn’t read what my Prime Minister Tony said, but I agree with what he said. I’m sure he was right.
More of what we can expect from his fellow travellers over the duration of his reign?
😉
Teh Kafe Krawlerz are pissing their pants with fear over the
certaintypossibility of an Abbottt government. Farkinilarious.It is very amusing!
Much as I loathe Abbott…it’s hardly the end of the world. Expect Rupert (The Magnificent Bastard) to get slated with the lion’s share of the blame.
Imagine being that petrified of a change in government in what is a very moderate democracy. Not too much will likely change. Adherents need to get used to the reality that, generally speaking, at least half of the population sees things a little different to the way they do.
It’s not unreasonable to assume that Abbott, unless he treads remarkably carefully (which would be out of character), will shit in his own nest regularly enough to see him replaced or deposed at a not too distant federal election. It probably won’t even be anything radical…just repetitive feet in mouth.
Watch me squawk whenever he lets his religion influence his governance though. I doubt a majority have much stomach for such things in this country. If he’s shrewd, he won’t do it often, or in a muscular fashion when he does.
Leigh seemed to go very easy on Mr Abbott, she’s obviously after a job with the hate media.
‘Not too much will likely change.’
When he captures the Treasury Benches our PM will shock us with dramatic change… him being a charismatic leader.
‘Watch me squawk whenever he lets his religion influence his governance though.’
Rest assured there will be none of that, his wife and daughters are practicing atheists.
Apocalypse Abbott. Tick off the favour list, ipa. Rienhadt, murdoch… All bets are off minister for the arts, mirrabella on the front bench and bishop foreign minister…. Polar right australia on a wave of lies….
You are taking this far too seriously, Ricky.
Sack Hunt and replace him with someone befitting the position… Barnaby Joyce?? If Abbott comes in with a mandate he won’t have any problem sacking people to get the desired outcome.
(Moreover, beyond a mandate acclaimed and presumptively accorded, the Australian People now have a written contract (albeit, effectively void for uncertainty) to keep Abbott, and a front-bench stacked with LNP legal luminaries, to six very valuable promises.)
A loss by the ALP is likely to be followed by calls for healing and unity, from a new leader.
The ALP doesn’t need healing and unity, that’s just code for – ‘don’t rock the boat, and just continue to leave it all up to the hacks/warlords’
After this defeat the ALP will need some heavy duty reform, but it will yet again lack will.
Much as I loathe Abbott…it’s hardly the end of the world.
My thoughts exactly, Ser Pee, in other places around the globe there’d be riots in the streets, bombs going off and hospitals clogged with blood and gore … and for what … The Robber barons playing with us like they’ve done for centuries … no matter what political or economic system is “invented” they will eventually own it … legally or not … so just roll on yer back back, spread, yer legs and enjoy it …
or learn to build a bomb and fire a rifle … 🙂
… his wife and daughters are practicing atheists.
No-one “practices” atheism, egg, you just is … wille wankers and dog-bothers practice … endlessly …
If Abbott comes in with a mandate
A mandate for what, exactly? Total destruction?
Abbott is in for the long haul and he looks fit enough to go a few rounds, so he must become popular with good policy.
He is a political pragmatist.
“No-one “practices” atheism, egg”
Indeed.
After this defeat the ALP will need some heavy duty reform, but it will yet again lack will.
Yes, ToM, I agree BUTI have a few observations:
► Had Rudd run a full first term he may (or not) have got the second, Aussies are generally generous with a “second suck of the sav” as Kev might say, at the 2010 election he would have introduced so much successful policy (and learned more about politics – as J Howard did) he may have just got another term … however, the ruckus with Julia and her union backers (who, I believe, were always about getting Rudd out “”because”” he wanted to reform the Party and dilute union power) has had such a “just get it over with” effect on this election that Labour has simply lost it … no verve, no vim, no vigour … neither has Abbott’s lot but they haven’t had the in-fighting that the ALP has endured.
► What also struck me is how much Abbott and the LIbNits “”haven’t”” done to simply walk into the Lodge … and how many of the gaffes by the LibNits have been simply ignored, while the slightest misstep by Labour makes the grade … how Abbott gets Aunt Sally questions on TV and will not go on Q&A, how it seems acceptable to media and voters that costings won’t be released until Thursday … the day before the media blackout … astounding stuff … gently questioned but never really pursued by any journo …
► I have not seen a union advert, not one … and Abbott was noisily bleating about being swamped by negativity union ads … and for Abbott to claim the high ground on negative ads is ludicrous … he has spent the last six years being Mr Negative … and the ads from both sides are equally cringeworthy … neither are as bad as Clivey’s though … and I did keep his DVD as a future wonder of politics for my grandchildren …
► Even Turnbull has finally disappointed me in his pushing the falseness of the NBN FTTN as a fitting replacement for FTTN … waek as water …
► In short, the whole hypocritical mess has probably got the majority of voters so pissed off they will just close their eyes on Saturday place a mark anywhere and hope it all goes away till next time …
And when they say RELIGION on the census, how many of us say atheist?
“how it seems acceptable to media and voters that costings won’t be released until Thursday … the day before the media blackout … astounding stuff … gently questioned but never really pursued by any journo … ”
Well Rudd/Swan did not release most of their costings when in Opposition until the Friday before the election ie the day before. I guess Abbott is learning from the masters.
However i think the main point of the costings is to make sure the govt is not lying. I think that is the main reason for the Charter of Budget Honesty. If you recall Beazly said the budget was in surplus before the 1996 election and when Howard got in they found a $10B deficit.
The costings scare campaign has backfired badly on Rudd, mainly because he went way over the top and was called out by Treasury and even Tony Jones. I guess most people have worked out that if Abbott promises a surplus and delivers a $29bn deficit he is still doing better than Labor. God help Australia if this* is the standard of politician we have brought upon ourselves.
*(i.e. both of them)
“if Abbott promises a surplus and delivers a $29bn deficit he is still doing better than Labor.”
Don’t you mean Treasury?? How much influence does a Treasurer have on the forecasts??
I mean that Labor promised a surplus for the last financial year and delivered a $30bn deficit. In view of the statements below, it is no surprise that they have no credibility in economic matters. Here is a sampling of their many, many promises:
Rudd should have stayed away from this issue and focused on Labor’s achievements.
“I mean that Labor promised a surplus for the last financial year and delivered a $30bn deficit. ”
I guess i asked an unanswerable question. I have never been in govt. How much influence does Swan have over Treasury??
It seems when Costello was Treasurer the surplus was always underestimated. With Swan the deficit is always bigger than forecast.
Does the Treasurer get given a set of numbers and then picks the best forecast?? Something is seriously wrong when Treasury is out by such a large number. I do remember reading somewhere that Swan stated that if a worldwide recession occurred he would just let Treasury run the country.
“I have not seen a union advert, not one … and Abbott was noisily bleating about being swamped by negativity union ads … ”
ROFLMAO
You have got to be kidding .
In Sydney we have the Nurses Federation with their Yankeee Nurse advert telling everyone that Abbott is going to sell all the Hospitals plus some Aussie nurse saying she was shocked………….absolutely shocked………………….when she found out her hospital; was going private. Mind you she probably didn’t complain about her pay rise.
The we have the “Lets revisit Workchoices” advert featuring the little “abandoned kid” on the sportsground with no mummy or daddy to take a photo.
Then we have the NSW Teachers Fed with a Gonski advert.
TB…….you must live under a rock
“…and I did keep his DVD as a future wonder of politics for my grandchildren … ”
I heard it has some sort of Titanic doco on it (??????????????????)
“And when they say RELIGION on the census, how many of us say atheist?”
Oh FFS! atheism is NOT a religion!
It astounds me that so many people constantly make that misalignment. Granted, it’s usually a religious apologist trying to smear atheism by claiming it is ‘faith based’. What a lot of bullshit.
They have no issue disbelieving in Zeus, Ra or Odin…just like me…but when I don’t buy into their singularly peculiar bent on divinity all of a sudden I’m religious. [facepalm]
Jocular ol’ Clivey Palmer has his PUP ads on extremely high rotation. One of the radio ones correctly points out that individuals can spend their own money more wisely than governments, and so they should get to keep more of it.
He then goes on to promise to “give” you $2,500 “off your tax bill”. He then points out that when circulated through the economy that money will contribute to government revenue via GST. So far, so good.
Avuncular Clive then makes the totally false statement that (paraphrasing) “that $2500 would only need to be turned over ten times before it will yield the same amount in GST”.
That is
utter crapcompletely incorrect; here’s why: The first time the $2,500 is spent the GST paid is one eleventh of the original amount, or $227.27. The balance is now $2272.73 which, when spent, will yield GST of $206.61. The remaining balance is now $2,066.12, with a GST of $187.83 and so on. Do this 10 times and you get $1,343.36 in GST and a balance remaining of $1,156.64.Clive is either a bullshit artist or an economic ignoramus.
Clive is both.
His gilt edged promising may win him plenty of fans amongst those who don’t know better though.
“Clive is either a bullshit artist or an economic ignoramus”
The two are not mutually exclusive (just sayin’)…. 😉
“The two are not mutually exclusive (just sayin’)”
= Wayne Swan
Rudd should have stayed away from this issue and focused on Labor’s achievements.
Yes, sb, totally agree, the “campaign” has really been a big fizzer … ALP promising to do things people don’t believe they can afford and Abbott not promising anything but people believing him …
Should Abbott be successful I think (as I believe ToM said too) people will think that they misjudged both Rudd and Abbott but in quite different ways …
I was amused at the “selection” of photographs in this article too …
http://www.news.com.au/national-news/federal-election/federal-election-promises-cuts-and-what-they-mean-for-you/story-fnho52qo-1226709750378
Abbott in the workplace and Rudd having fun … how subtle … in fact the header photo reminds me of this …
And yet Mad Mark Latham doesn’t look half as mean spirited as Abbott does …
“people will think that they misjudged both Rudd and Abbott but in quite different ways”
Completely agree!
I heard it has some sort of Titanic doco on it
Yes, and its really quite interesting … rest of its some sort of comedy I think 😉
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Do this 10 times and you get $1,343.36 in GST and a balance remaining of $1,156.64.
ToSY, while I agree that Clivey, sounds a bit like someone who has just discovered Economics 101 (but not really studied it … eg a little knowledge is dangerous) I’m not quite sure that you “demonstration/calculation” is quite correct (laborious though it must have been for you – well, it would have been for me anyway .. 😯 ) …
The Multiplier Effect has been around for some time (as you are obviously aware) however the Effect doesn’t just apply to the original amount but to the spin off trades and services that it affects and/or generates … I’m hopeless at maths (only got a job as a manager ’cause I can work a calculator 🙂 )
But I did study Financial Management and Economics at uni and I vaguely remember we had to do some nifty sums including the Effect for our assessment … (is it really over 20 fkn years ago!!)
Good ol’ Wiki has a bit on the formulae here …

“If we win the election – which is a referendum on the carbon tax – the last thing the Labor party will do is commit political suicide twice by continuing to support this toxic carbon tax,” Abbott told reporters.
“I would expect the parliament to respect our mandate.”
“I would expect the parliament to respect our mandate.”
I think Abbott should expect to receive the same sort of “respect” he’s shown to the parliament since 2007. Nothing less and nothing more…
I think Abbott should expect to receive the same sort of “respect” he’s shown to the parliament since 2007
Completely agree!
Well, if the Coalition fails to win both houses then it will be a Double D and I’ll be cheering from the rafters.
“I think Abbott should expect to receive the same sort of “respect” he’s shown to the parliament since 2007. Nothing less and nothing more…”
Indeed!
Abbott threatens DD … yeah, yeah … we’ll see … is that bullying the electorate and/or the ALP?
Is Abbott running scared?
What does he know we don’t?
Yes I take my nation very seriously and anyone that uses the word mandate in any context hovering below 90% not 50% is a disgraceful fraudulent dictating liar puppet. Those debts are real and will be related.. Mandate that.
‘Abbott threatens DD … ‘
He is saying a Double D probably won’t happen because Kev lacks the balls to try it on.
Ricky
A mandate in this case would be the securing of both houses.
“………….is a disgraceful fraudulent dictating liar puppet”
Yet it’s OK for Gillard to claim she had a mandate to introduce a Carbon Price.
And then Rudd comes along and says Labor had no mandate to introduce a Carbon Tax.
Make up your tiny brains
I see CW is getting all bothered about Abbott’s plan to reduce the public service.
Some time ago I had a job that required me to go to regularly go to Canberra and meet public servants. I found public servants couldn’t meet unless there were at least 4 of them, but usually 6. That’s to meet me, on my own.
Each senior public servant had a side kick to take notes. They liked to meet during lunch and order plenty of sandwiches. 3/4 of them would be uneaten and quickly whisked away to feed the other public servants, better than supplying your own lunch.
If the meeting extended beyond 2.45 someone would bring in coffee and tim tams.
Public servants are process (not outcome) driven.
Their main objectives in attending a meeting are to-
1. Eat
2. Set the time for the next meeting.
Keep trimming.
too much ‘go to’ ….
Thinking about Canberra does that.
I am deeply disturbed that there is no freedom of speech allowed in this country if you express views that are against the corporocracy, the refusal of all TV stations to air the anti-murdoch ad by getup. This is not the first time that the stations have colluded to prevent the free speech of others.
The MSM and free market spruikers call for andrew bolt’s freedom to hate-speak, but will collude to prevent the people, citizens from speaking freely.
l agree with Ricky-Pann on clowns claiming `mandate`, 90% or greater is a mandate, and that means the `team` needs 135-Reps seats, plus Senate to pass. l also say `team` instead of `party` as the teabags are a coalition, Nats being totally unable to rule solo and Libs unlikely to rule solo. *GO*WATERMELON* 😆
Yes AO, during an election (particularly) it seems reasonable that all points of view should be able to purchase air time.
Getup’s money is as good as anyone else’s. Collusion among the broadcasters to decline non defamatory advertising is entirely unsatisfactory.
` ` ` ` ` ` anti-murdoch ad by getup. ` ` ` ` `
there is still clearly a real`fear` among the teabags that another out-break of Watermelon(GO!) could occur, so the networks are protecting their deals with the teabag/rupert syndicate,
“….the refusal of all TV stations to air the anti-murdoch ad by getup.”
I think it’s a move that should be applauded. Whilst our freedom of speech might not be perfect GetUp is nothing but a collection of Leftwing Nutcases who would destroy all freedom of speech given the chance. It’s in their DNA.
Where were they when Conroy and Roxon wanted to pass legislation limiting free speech ?
On a simple commercial basis if I was running the networks I’d be looking after my regular clients like News Limited and Foxtel and not pandering to the opportunistic GetUp scum who might advertise once every 3 years.
“I see CW is getting all bothered about Abbott’s plan to reduce the public service. ”
It certainly fills me with great satisfaction when I hear that the “right type of wasteful” public servants are going to be thrown out of a job.
Puts a real smile on my face actually
And we dont need to cast our eyes too far to find the perfect example of a fat lazy waste of space ex-PS person around these parts.
Perhaps the bleating by some is due to a reliance by some on some part time work in the PS ?
Sex appeal doesn’t disguise a lack of humanity:
http://thehoopla.com.au/refugee-stole-latte/
l agree with Ricky-Pann on clowns claiming `mandate`, 90% or greater is a mandate,
IMO, there cannot be a mandate claimed when the electorate is so ill informed on policy and costings and there has been such biased campaigning by a MSM, even the ABC. The electorate has to be informed and knowledgeable to make educated choices, something we have not had at all. The coalition’s plan to announce costings after a media blackout is a deliberate hoodwinking of the voters, ensuring they are NOT informed on economic policy, supposedly the most important issue for them.
Just because abbott claims that the election is a mandate on CC does not make it so for the voter who makes their choice based on many different reasons eg may not like what rudd did to gillard. There can only be a mandate if he puts all information about his policies to the people, allows for scrutiny/fact checking and offers a referendum.
1/ ‘ ‘ ‘ who would destroy all freedom of speech given the chance. It’s in their DNA.’ ‘ ‘
2/ ‘ ‘ ‘ Conroy and Roxon wanted to pass legislation limiting free speech ?’ ‘ ‘
‘
Bullshit. Prove both.
Where were they when Conroy and Roxon wanted to pass legislation limiting free speech ?
They were asking for some regulation on a powerful media that is presenting biased opinion as news and fact, trying to change public opinion through lies, misrepresentation and distortion. They never opposed free speech at all, just expected that a powerful media should uphold it’s obligations and duty to the public and that journalists practice their own code of professional ethics.
It was never about free speech, that was another crude misrepresentation for the gullible to swallow and be distracted from the real issues – corporate monopoly, power and manipulation.
‘ ‘ ‘ there cannot be a mandate claimed when ‘ ‘ ‘
1/ ‘ ‘ ‘ the electorate is so ill informed on policy and costings and ‘ ‘ ‘
2/ ‘ ‘ ‘ there has been such biased campaigning by a MSM, even the ABC. ‘ ‘ ‘
‘
the `mandate` is usually claimed on `result`,
so l tend to disagree `technically` on (1) coz even if the voter was`nt being screwed-over by both pollies and troll-media, the whole `suite` of issues/topics just wouldn`t be covered
.
while (2) is true, it is wrongly applied to a `mandate` outcome,
but should be applied to the `democracy-is-junk` outcome, that has something like 25% of the 18-25`s not enrolled, not voting etc, not join in anything political/party`s . . .
.
watch now as troll-media bleat that `useless` young people think politics is crap/waste-of-time, while at the same time troll-media and pollies prove the young people correct
“Bullshit.”
Really,
How about the manner in which they forced the Brisbane Broncos Club to cancel a room where Lord Monckton was to give a lecture.
Whatever you think about Monckton he had the right to speak there without GetUp getting involved in forcing the room cancellation.
That is an attack on Free Speech
GetUp can go fuck themselves if they dont like the blowtorch being turned onto them for a change
spooking moncktons weather wanking cranks does NOT prove,
.
1/ ‘ ‘ ‘ who would destroy all freedom of speech given the chance.

but it is another exercise in teabag hypocrisy, ok for teabags to silence others, but much unhingement when the teabags cop the same treatment
“………spooking moncktons weather wanking cranks does NOT prove,”
That’s all the proof I’m going to give you.
Take it or leave it because franky IDGAF.

“franky” = “frankly”
“…but much unhingement when the teabags cop the same treatment”
Hardly call it unhingeing when I applaud the policy of the Networks. I’m quite happy about it.
The unhingeing seems to be in the vacant space piece of real estate between your eardrums
‘As sancty reckons. You are hardly worth engaging with.’
That’s true.
Whatever you think about Monckton he had the right to speak there without GetUp getting involved in forcing the room cancellation.
I don’t know of the incident you describe but wonder if the cancellation was due to a planned protest? which is of course a democratic right and expression of free speech isn’t it? Why are these people who try to manipulate public opinion, so frightened of hearing expressed opinions about themselves?
Are you saying that getup heavied and threatened the club in some way to refuse monkton’s lecture appearance?

We are not talking about Rupert. Simply the Freedom of the Networks (which they pay for in licencing fees) to say “Fuck Off” to a mob quite happy to restrict freedom of speech when it suits them.
And why did you imply that I plagiarised or did not attribute source yesterday when clearly that was not the case ?
During an election campaign (particularly) it is quite unsatisfactory for media organisations to pick and choose between the political issues they prefer to run.
Imagine the outcry if the media declined advertising from unions or mining interests.

“Imagine the outcry if the media declined advertising from unions or mining interests.”
But they dont try and ban freedom of speech in the first place.
Unlike GetUp.
If any organisation actively campaigns to ban freedom of speech like the Nazis or the Commos or GetUp or anyone then they should not cry foul if others ban them.
‘ ‘ ‘ actively campaigns to ban freedom of speech’ ‘ ‘ ‘

again, Bullshit. again, Prove lt.

You haven’t said just how getup was supposedly restricting their free speech, I’m waiting to be enlightened.
The airwaves are state owned, a licence fee does not give permission as a cartel to oppress the free speech of others. If they accept the advertising $ of some to publish political opinion they should accept it from all who are willing to pay. They are using their market power as an anti democratic, anti market cartel.
I’m no legal eagle, but I would think that there is a breach of the licence conditions when they act in collusion of market power to restrict others.

sounds like a good reason for the public interest to be upheld and protected by ensuring no collusion in market power or oppression of other opinions, especially where there is so little diversity of ownership.
the `club` cacked itself and decided not to allow `weather-wanking-promotion` on it`s premises, a commercial decision you may say,
.
how much `pushing` of that decision on the `club` deserves `locals` credit or getups credit may be debatable, but to me `getup` was the smaller player
…THE Brisbane Broncos Leagues Club has withdrawn its venue from the Lord Christopher Monckton speaking tour of Australia after complaints from its members.
The club’s general manager, Geoff Kuehner, confirmed the withdrawal last night.
Tour organiser Andy Semple said Mr Kuehner had told him the decision was because of member complaints and a discussion with the club board.
”He said in 15 years he had never received so many complaints from members about a speaker,” Mr Semple said…

Oh I see, getup are all MEMBERS of the broncos leagues club, or, getup threatened the members in some way. Anyway, it’s all getup’s fault!!
gotta love how the conservative mind works, bit like asylum seekers being responsible for lack of funding and infrastructure.
A refugee stole my latte:

more walrus fabrication 😆
I think conservatives forget that the public is entitled to an opinion and to be active in politics too, especially as their interests and concerns are sidelined and ignored by governments who are supposed to act on their behalf, but are really puppets of corporate power and lobbying.
I think politics should be taught in high school, too many are absolutely ignorant and apathetic about how they are governed [which suits the majors very well, they use it to their advantage].
Just ordinary citizens [voters maybe] wanting their voices to be heard. So scary and soooo threatening, must be commies 😆
But OK for industry to have numerous front organisations, give donations for political favour and influence and open door access to pollies.
Hisham Melhem, Washington bureau chief of al Arabiya television: Arab allies now view Obama as “wobbly, indecisive, not strong enough“.
‘but to me `getup` was the smaller player’
More likely the major player was ‘getup’ because someone had to tell the club that Monckton was a weather contrarian and outside groupthink.
The Saudis are backing the revolutionary opposition under their chosen leader, so naturally they are a little miffed at the west’s reluctance to fight the good fight.
More likely the major player was ‘getup’ because someone had to tell the club that Monckton was a weather contrarian and outside groupthink.
Gina must have forgotten to inform the club when she booked his
propaganda‘lecture’ venues. Fancy the members expressing their own opinions and the club listening to them, unheard of, not how things are supposed to work, must be getup’s fault!The club members are football fans and I blame getups propaganda for embarrassing the club.
Monckton was only talking about weather and climate.
Monckton was only talking about weather and climate.
maybe he should’ve appeared at a science venue then?
the major decision was made by the club, on request from many club members, not to embarress themselves promoting defunct Junk-science and weather-wankers, much, much more a membership decision than `getup` and to to give the credit to getup is over-bloating their importance
“more walrus fabrication”
Not at all.
More evidence is GetUp threatening to organise boycotts of Companies disagreeing with the Carbon Tax. Just plain out blackmail.
That GetUp is now being boycotted themselves is sweet irony.

Wally you seem to be burning a bit … so I’ll try to explain away your hurt …
And why did you imply that I plagiarised or did not attribute source yesterday when clearly that was not the case ?
I did not accuse you of plagiarism** (you thought that up all by yourself) … I’m old enough (as people keep reminding me) to have seen stuff regurgitated over and over again in different ways … bugger, I may do it myself from time to time …
What was funny to me (and that’s all it was) is that you were having ago at Rudd for saying what someone else had said but were quite happy to prove you point by using something that some one else had said … it really is as simple as that …
Lighten up, Sunshine, you’ll end up like that sanctimonious prick, James …
I’m beginning to wonder if you are a closet catlik … they don’t seem to have any sense of humour … especially when it comes to themselves …
BTW, plagiarism IS not attributing source (or permission), what you wrote is a tautology … 🙄 🙄
‘maybe he should’ve appeared at a science venue then?’
The club rents out space for all sorts of functions. Why discriminate against so called ‘weather wankers’?
Ooops … is tautology (ie not “a” tautology …) 😉
Why discriminate against so called ‘weather wankers’?
Because the CLUB MEMBERS complained! FMD … how many times?
How many club members complained?

“Or you lock them up for years at a time, treat them like the criminals they probably are (what are they really running away from, hey?)”

The troof of the matter, most club members are like TB and totally unaware of the CC debate, so it was a concerted effort by GetUp to intimidate the club’s executive and stop Monckton.

That was a screenshot of a suggestion for a getup campaign , any member [or even non-member] can put them up for consideration. It looks like the layout of the website has changed since I last looked at getup, the ideas/suggestions used to be run blog style.
Doesn’t mean it was carried out or that getup acted on it exactly as wished by the suggestee.
Now give us a screenshot of an actual campaign, which looks like this:
https://www.getup.org.au/campaigns
note the separate heading on that page for SUGGESTIONS which then directs people to another page [my bold]
https://www.getup.org.au/community/campaign-suggestions
If you’ve got great ideas, CommunityRun.org is the place to go! CommunityRun is a new online organisation that helps you start, run and win your own campaigns.
GetUp can only take so many campaign ideas at once, which is why we created CommunityRun – a place where you can use your knowledge and passion about an issue and turn it into a great campaign. Your ideas could be big or small, local or national – CommunityRun gives you the tools you need every step of the way to turn issues you’re passionate about into winning campaigns.
It takes less than 10 minutes to set up a campaign and then the rest is in your hands. CommunityRun campaigns are exactly that – run by you. They are not automatically endorsed by GetUp, but when CommunityRun campaigners spot a great campaign that’s particularly timely, strategic, or popular, we’ll get in touch with you to see how we can help.
Sounds like a participatory, collective democratic process for ordinary citizens.

You’d have a different attitude if someone like this came knocking on your door. And there are plenty of other examples.

The Coalition will cut the foreign aid budget in order to boost the foreign aid budget…
Only Joe Hockey could say something like that…
“We still are committed to the millennium goals but we’ve got to fix our budget first,” Mr Hockey said.
He added that he could not put a timetable on when the global target could be reached.
The Coalition emphasised the spending on roads was major part of the budget plan.
“We are going to cut the growth in foreign aid to pay for necessary infrastructure in Australia,” Mr Hockey said.
“We need to do this to grow our economy.”
Only by growing the economy could Australia afford its foreign aid obligations in the future, he added.

The rockshifter has changed its gravatar profile from “I detest lefties because they are pissants…especially the ones at Cafe Delusions”, to some sentence which derides me as a factory floor sweeper.
This happened after the perpetually ailing blog host supposedly banned him for being nasty there…but reinstated the gardener after his banning was gloated about here.
Stupid prick has no idea.
Needless to say, dirtman wouldn’t have a hope in hell of being able to cope with the qualifications or responsibilities which make up my employment. The fact that he spends his time on the internet trying to impress people, who mostly are repelled by his awkward bitterness, by name dropping & fantasising & giving regular updates on his supposed importance…just goes to show how desperately he craves self affirmation & recognition. Doesn’t ever appear to fool anyone though…and gets very cross when his earnest self promotions are dismissed, picked apart or ridiculed.
Only the meanest, most pathetic denizens of the internet have a digital history of making threats & alluding to confronting commenters in real life; and sometimes even becoming completely unhinged enough to actually show up at their targets home address. I’ve not witnessed it from anyone except Walter Mitty, repeatedly.
In fairness, Conroy’s plan to filter the internet was potentially worse. However, it does indicate some intent by the incoming conservatives.
I have no tolerance for wowserism…and social conservatives are the epitome of that.
Our governments should get the fuck out of our heads. Adults can decide for themselves what is or isn’t suitable. The onus is also on parents to pay attention to what their children are consuming.
Censoring the entire population by default is arrogant, paternalist & offensive. I’d have thought liberatrians wouldn’t like it either, no matter which stripe of scum was in control.
“This happened after the perpetually ailing blog host …………..”
ROFLMAO !
🙂
I think that’s a fairly accurate assessment of Walter Mitty, Boss.
His attention-seeking antics online simply smack of someone who’s been a complete failure in “the real world.”
One day it might occur to him that’s just the plaything of Minglo..
But then, who cares? Not I… 😉
“the perpetually ailing blog host”
Isn’t it about time he had another life-threatening illness or suicide attempt?
If I had just married Min I’d probably want to kill myself.
I’ve been quite critical of the inefficiency and profligacy of this government (I blame Swan), and I’m entirely in favour of a very lean public sector, so in this context, the economic policy and announced savings of the Liberals ARE ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS!!!!
Really, when Hockey has been frothing at the mouth about deficits (which is reasonable), you’d expect him to come up with a little more than a billion a year in savings.
THE LIBERALS ARE A PATHETIC DISGRACE, and not offering a sensible alternative in economic policy.
‘ ‘ ‘ Conroy’s plan to filter the internet was ‘ ‘ ‘
equally fcuking dumb,
and shows how stupid politicians refuse to learn from mistakes already made,
.
‘ ‘ ‘ Censoring the entire population by default is arrogant, ‘ ‘ ‘
any of these corporate type, in by default, opt-out harassments are one of the things that antagonize their customers endlessly too, another lesson refusing to be learned
They can pretty much say & do whatever they like at this point, Tom.
They are going to romp it home by default & then enact what they really want…but are yet to divulge.
My only hope is that there are sufficient voters around who recognise how destructive an imbalance too far towards the Coalition may be.
It would be nice if a bit of accountability is left in the Senate, because it certainly appears that the HoR is going to be a bloodbath for the ALP.
I think a large part of internet filtering, by any Party, illuminates their being influenced by US Big Media to strangle piracy & filesharing of all sorts, by stealth.
‘ ‘ ‘ entirely in favour of a very lean public sector ‘ ‘ ‘
what makes it lean or not lean yomm.?
got an example.?
Public servants only meet in packs, I explained my experience a few days ago.
I was doing some work that involved keeping a bit of the public service in the loop. Normally 6 would turn up to a meeting, each senior public servant brought a note taking side kick, they’d order about 3 times as much lunch as necessary, take the mountain of leftovers out for the rest of the ravenous (but fat) bureaucratic bludgers. About 45 mins after lunch coffee and plates of tim tams would arrive.
The important part of the meeting was ensuring the next one was scheduled.
Fat bludgers that wore short sleeved polyester shirts.
They’ll be lean when there is only 1 of them at that type of meeting (and when they wear cotton shirts)
yeah, that`s a bit of a non-answer yomm, we better shut-down department-x coz yomm don`t like tim-tamz, you better go back to `pensioner-watch` yomm
Going anywhere near Mingloidville is a waste of my time.
Kevvie is still banging on about costings. Nobody cares, Kev, because the Libs cannot possibly be worse financial managers than your putrid labor govt of the past six years. The electorate is prepared to give them a go.
Fat, bludging public servants don’t deserve to leech off taxpayers.
The Liberals have gone soft on them, despite all their bluster.
Kev talks about billions like they’re hundreds. It’s not his money, so why not spend it where the votes are?
#porkbarrelscontainpork
“The Liberals have gone soft on them, despite all their bluster.”
It’s a shame. We thought we were voting for an extremist.
“The electorate is prepared to give them a go.”
That seems to be the case…
And who can blame them over the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd leadership fiasco…
It’s all just bollocks anyway……
Hammering public servants and union hacks is in the public interest, it also makes good political sense.
I’ll criticise censorship whoever tries it on. Technology is the censor’s friend, but also its enemy.
Kevette on 7:30: “hypotheticalland”.
“Hammering public servants and union hacks is in the public interest, it also makes good political sense.”

I’d like to immolate the entire StKilda FC though.
Hockey said he would cut back on the water buyback. Doesn’t have the bottle, pathetic.
Bloody Gen Y’s.
In my day we were perfectly satisfied with just throwing the little buggers around.
They always have to take it too far.
Public servants meet and sign off stuff in packs because that means collective responsibility. in case of gigantic fuck up its harder to sack 4 than 1 as in private industry.
True, the public service has no concept of singular accountability, it’s all shared.
There is no sense of output, it’s all co-ordination, interdepartmental meetings, catering and polyester shirts.

She’s quite entertaining and sensible.

and the most important of all
*Always buy into businesses that are so good that even if a fuckwit starts running the joint even they cant ruin it. Because its absolutely inevitable a fuckwit will be in charge one day.

That fuckwit of a rock shifter mentioned moi over at the Café.
I actually put the post about him above up to get confirmation that he still visits every 5 minutes.
I know you are going to be reading this you dickhead.
Guess what………….Seems that your old school buddies remember you as a fuckwit when you went to School in Sydney. Yes I know 3 of them actually and they all knew you as one recalls and I quote ……………
“ A preposterous dope, full of bullshit, all talk no action, not to be trusted, and with not much of a future” even back then.
Just so you know I’m not bullshitting the 30th anniversary a few years ago of your graduation was held upstairs at the Lord Dudley Hotel in Paddington in Sydney. 🙂
Remember ????????
The person I quoted above could not recall if you attended and then said
“ That’s most likely because he was so forgettable”
Nice to know you have not changed.
ROFLMAO
🙂 🙂
The Lord Dudley brings back memories for me, days of gay abandon.
Scaper … what is your projection on Abbott’s Green Army? Leave your answer at the cafe and I’ll wander by later and pick it up.
😆 😆 😆
WTF
What is going on in Kevin Rudd’s head ?
Must watch video
This is just soooooooooooooooooo bizarre

Even better…..and I would have rated this had it been Gillard doing it to Costello.
The mayor of Crapperville certainly is delusional. He fits in well with his mates.
The last word…

As I said, back up the thread, dirtman only impresses himself.
His embellishments don’t stand up to scrutiny & are so poorly articulated to begin with as to be laughable.
When parents send a nasty, exaggerating dickhead to an expensive school…a nasty, exaggerating, namedropping, self promoting dickhead comes out the other end.
Footnote:
Said dickhead has now confirmed over at the other blog that he did not attend said function at the Lord Dudley.
He has apparently “moved on”
Hey Dickhead…………….. 3 of your classmates they being a successful lawyer, banker and property developer don’t fucking miss ya either and one is not surprised at the fantasy world you occupy.
I like this war of words over the back fence, meanwhile, further afield….
‘Russia dismissed Britain as ‘just a small island no one pays any attention to’ last night as a summit of world leaders descended into acrimony over planned military strikes on Syria.
‘In an astonishing attack, Vladimir Putin mocked the UK’s size and influence, and boasted that Soviet oligarchs had ‘bought Chelsea’.

His sly dig at TB was typical.
“‘In an astonishing attack, Vladimir Putin mocked the UK’s size and influence, and boasted that Soviet oligarchs had ‘bought Chelsea’.”

Oh Kneel, when it come to macho-men amongst the world leaders, most of them, like Mr-Rabbit are just pure pretenders, and Vlad is correct to mock them.
We teebagz will be up early in the morning, voting early and often.
We watermelonz will be too
Quick voxpop at stately IPA manor indicates melonz gonna be smashed.
Melonz are doomed and I was wondering if the blogmasta will be putting on a party to celebrate this historical occasion.
Sportingbet market on total seats won by Coalition has 91-100 seats favourite at $1.80, and 101-111 seats second favourite. Not good news for early-voting Kevfollowers.

Today’s Nielsen and Newspolls both have Coalition 54 to 46 2PP. It’s going to be warm tomorrow, with the chance of a Tone-slide.
I’m wearing my circa 1975 Labor for Democracy tee shirt to a party tomorrow night
Landing gear down and locked
Flight path clear
Landing lights on
Final approach
We have our piñata ready for our party
Guess whose face features on it ?
Baseball Bat Ready
Taking final practice swings
A lot of us won’t miss
Knock ….. knock………..
Fucking silence
When do these polling booths open ?
Go Abbott!
Uh oh. Just checked the forecast: there’s high probability of an Abbolanche!
