The Returnification of Tony Abbott!

The news has been well-received amongst Mr Abbott’s political allies

I think his political opponents are just as chuffed.

When people start to see (hopefully) that not only is yabot still there, but that malcayman continues to pursue his policies, malcayman will no longer be “not tony”. Rather (again, hopefully) that tag will fall back onto Bill Shhhhhhorten.

AND

IF

the media ever decide to acknowledge the role malcayman had in the stifling of their information on the NBN (god forbid they ever learn of the wanton destruction malcayman himself has wrought on our infrastructure) we might actually see a turn in the polls.

As was mentioned briefly elsewhere, malcaymans numbers a large, but fragile. Those that leave, won’t be coming back. yabot abused their trust too much, and malcayman has promised them too much that he cannot deliver.

are not interested in what most Aussies or need but their own ideological agenda?

I’d have thought the Affable One (and others this morning saying they would ignore the electorate on a SSM plebiscite pretty much confirmed that TB 😉

Just what does Malcolm Turnbull stand for these days?

• nobbling the abc
• Innovatively destroying innovative infrastructure
• opposing meaningful action on Climate Change
• opposing ssm
• supporting tax havens
• replacing Australian workers with cheaper imports
• opposing a republic (we could see that from his previous work)
• removing penalty rates
• imposing a higher GST
• supporting multinational tax avoidance
• destroying public education
• destroying public health

he’s building quite a list

btw, he’s not “Comprising his principles to keep his job”, he’s following the path he always has, as a neo-con. Emphasis on con. History proves this.

don’t tell me that spelling and grammar skills aren’t disappearing fast!

Well, to be honest TB, to some of us southerners, it’s kinda seems a bit like getting on a boat up that way lately 😉

actually, I’ve got it down to a fine art

modest too 😉

Do you mean the same Julia and Bill who actually implemented a Carbon Price, and who still have that as their policy

Those ones?

Stick to counting coloured cartons you dope

……………..

woof woof

has his account been hacked AO, or is Jerry messing his i-phone?

We need to invest in our hospitals – before it’s too late

Another massive lib fail. And yet, even IF they get the GST through, they don’t want to put that money into hospitals. No, they want to use it to further line the pockets of their mates.

As of next year public hospital funding will become the biggest financial challenge faced by state and territory governments, a report from the peak organisation representing doctors the Australian Medical Association, warns.

the daily blib only exists because apart from counting coloured cartons, you have nothing else?

Chris Uhlmann is another failed priest like abbott.

He’s another failed journalist too, which is probably why he went so well at theirabc

I think Greg Sheridan is forgetting about a certain prime minister named Julia Gillard

I don’t think he forget, I think he saw it more as “putting that fucking woman in her place” rather than vitriol or personal abuse AO

He seems like that kind of tosser

Heydon just can’t hide his hatred. (and bias)

Why did the Royal Commission begin by quoting the author of “The White Man’s Burden”? The only explanation, it seems, is that the commission sees the union movement as Viking raiders. Australian union workers, in the commission’s eyes, are a foreign army threatening the security of the “nation.” And they don’t need to be reformed — they need to be crushed.

why would an aerial ping pong footballer get a medal

Might have something to do with all the work he does to further Indigenous causes?

Who gets to pick them?

You elect the president, (s)he chooses the executive. A bit like when Bob Carr was put in the Senate to be Foreign Minister (I think he did a good job by the way)

You elect the president

So a politician chooses. malcayman made some wonderful choices on the nobn board 😉

Firstly because the NBN and phone are connected i had no land line

I don’t have nobnm, and my internet is connected to the same line as the phone

phunny that 😉

Looks like talcum has done a wunnerful job of destroying the NBN hey nil 😉

Labor’s primary vote in Victoria collapsed by nine percentage points to 28 per cent in October.

so, nothing newsworthy to report, so they go back to polls from October.

If only Labor would do something, you know, like release details of how they will fund Gonski or something [facepalm] They have one story in the politics section on it, which doesn’t even show up on their front page, but the “Bill sux” certainly does.

Why oh why can’t Labor “cut through”? 😯

Meanwhile, the libs continue to kill Australian jobs, and give them away.

That did not happen with ADSL

Heard of Naked DSL dopey?

Didn’t you say you phoned out still. Think on that a bit before sounding even dumber than you are

Didn’t you say you phoned out still.

No, like most people i use my mobile for most things. But there are still people who use their land lines. If the NBN dies, the home phone dies. I think the NBN will be the biggest disaster in Australian history. What people want is mobile.

That did not happen with the previous system

That’s because the previous system only had copper cables.

If the cable went down, so did your phone.

If only your internet went down, that is usually your ISP

If you lost all communications through the NBN, then that means the fiber cable is down, and you were as stranded as you were with only copper cable if that went down.

Except of course, as you mentioned, you had a mobile, which meant you still phoned someone.

Really, your level of stupid is quite amazing.

If the cable went down, so did your phone.

But that never happened under the old system.

Under Labors system if the internet fails so does your home phone

But that never happened under the old system.

So if the telephone cable went down, you didn’t lose your land line?

I almost want to move to your reality now ROFL

this only `proves` blib sux team-cheerer

You mean the ‘team’ that saw off a first term pm in record time? That team?

Did your phone NEVER go out either I wonder 😉

So if the telephone cable went down, you didn’t lose your land line?

But that never happened.

But with the Queensland floods some people lost their NBN connection. With ADSL that would not have happened

With the Queensland floods, power failures meant that people with Labors NBN were knocked out. People with copper wires could still use their phones and internet

I think people might find that the old copper network is supported by UPS – phones still work during a power failure. The fibre network doesn’t run off that.

With the Queensland floods, power failures meant that people with Labors NBN were knocked out.

Except of course, there was no NBN at the time of floods

Yes, in “some” situations, the phone might work when a fibre cable doesn’t, but they would be few and far between. Copper (especially the pits) suffer badly in floods.

Try reading the links in the Nick Ross article, it might open your eyes.

#and what did the telco dude tell you was the `fault`

The grey telecommunicatios boxes you see on the street usually contain a battery bank to keep phones going for a hours during a power failure. Traditional phones aren’t connected to the power grid. It’s low voltage.

If War ever comes to Australia the NBN would be easy to knock out. Without power it does not work.

And i never had to have someone come out and enter the premises when i had ADSL. And the guy was here to almost 2 hours before the NBN was working again. And getting the NBN installed was also a nightmare. It took several months of the technicians coming back 3 times before it was working. The only good thing is that the NBN is wireless so i do not need to stick a cable into my computer.

They`re separate systems ya`silly ol`bunt,

I can remember having internet trouble and ringing up on my landline for help when i had ADSL. That is something you could not do with the NBN. Luckily these days most people have mobile phones

Read the first link nil

Yep your link said this

During a power failure, all services supplied over an optical fibre connection will stop working unless an alternative backup power supply—typically a battery—is installed at the individual’s premises to power the network termination device and a fixed-line telephone.

The NBN will not work during a power failure but the old phone lines will.

in other words, it can.

Yes you need a backup power supply but who wants to pay for that?

Traditional landlines work in a power failure. The fibre network doesn’t have the UPS.

Traditional landlines work in a power failure. The fibre network doesn’t have the UPS.

But, you can provide a backup yourself. And, as I said, try to buy a phone these days that doesn’t require power to operate.

Traditional landlines work in a power failure. The fibre network doesn’t have the UPS.

My opinion of the ALP is that it is the party of the unforeseen stuff up. I cannot think of to many things that could go wrong because the NBN does not have UPS but who knows? Maybe during surgery at a hospital there may be a power failure and the doctor cannot use the phone. Labor just knows how not to think about the consequences of its policies.

PS. I see you lefties are worried about $150M being spent on a plebiscite but do not blink an eyelid at the $15-$20B wasted because Rudd abolished the Pacific Solution. And that is the cost of just one ALP mistake. There are many others.

Beam me ups, beam me downs.
