Yes, the major part of his running is off at the mouth.
PS only joking, I like Andy.
I like Andy too, he's passionate and a v good sports commentator, BUT, he really should sit down and watch Parkinson, or Peach (now that's going back) or even Bert Newton or Andrew Denton... all accomplished interviewers who know how to ask a good question in 10 words or less, then STFU and let the interviewee speak.
Andy's biggest challenge in life in not costing our gals a goal, or pinging a calf, or doing a hammy... it's asking a question with less than 3,000 words!!!
I understand that NE link will please a lot of people and help ease congestion but I've got drill rigs 50 metres from my front gate and we're going to have a vent shaft 150 metres from here. The NE link is ducked for this area, has killed house prices and continues the theme of no government wanting to spend a cent in this area except to offer people fron outlying suburbs easier transit through it.
Consultation, what's that? Any meaningful say in the matter.... You've gotta be joking. Somebody always "pays the rent" and it ain't the people who are going to be using it.
Holy cr@p, PROFESORES, that is just fkn wrong. You must have some recourse.
I worked in the department that included planning when Matthew Guy was planning minister and it would be disrespectful to sh1thouse rats to say that he was as shifty as those creatures.
He was always going to struggle as leader and particularly with Kroger as a millstone around his neck.
It’s a pity that John Pesutto lost his seat. He is positively statesmanlike in comparison.
1. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. When he came out with that comment after the murder of Sisto from Pellegrini's, 'that it wouldn't have happened if his govt was in office'. Such crass and vulgar opportunism told me much about the bloke.
2. Kroger has been a LNP millstone for at least a decade. Well said.
I love the way they stand in front of the camera and claim the Federal situation had little influence.
I said to the missus watching the broadcast, they don't get it, they think regardless of who we vote for they can pick or flip whatever leader they like!
Most people vote for people not parties, and when the Federal Coalition kiboshed Turnbull whether you like him or not they exposed themselves as backstabbers and they'll pay for that in much the same way the ALP paid for it's leadership turmoil.
As for claiming federal politics pay little part in state politics, good luck getting that through to Joe Average.
Spot on. I wonder if you were watching Fryenberg's response to what had happened, as I was with Mrs Baggers? All he did was succeed as coming across as a knob in denial.
When the Stiffs (LP/conservatives) reflected the values of Menzies (moderate) they seemed relevant and competitive but with this drift to the hard right/fundamentalism, they've started stinking the place up (especially with the in-fighting between the moderates and the hard right lunies... Tony and co.).
No secret to Andrews success... he said he was going to do a few things and FMD, he's actually doing what he said
I think I was in at Crown that day too, was it when the treasurer was speaking at a gig? I actually drove past the main entrance just before the marching protesters arrived, the media made it look like a war but it was a handful of protesters(maybe 50 all up) and it was over in minutes, when they were refused entry they left!
I've been OS and had concerned relatives ring me because the local news has reported widespread rioting in the streets of big cities. On one occasion I was in a hotel overlooking the very park / square were it was all supposed to be happening, there was nobody there except people walking their dogs!
btw., I have the inside official word on the US Hurricane season, there is no climate change it's just God punishing Americans for Trump! (Insensitive I know!)
I thought Trump was their punishment
Timing sounds about right, Spotted One. Most of the crowd were onlookers. Amazing what you can create with 'tight shots' of a scuffle (and it wasn't even that). You're right it was dispersed in minutes. You'll see more drama in a kindergarten when Johnny pulls Mary's hair.
There was a big stink last week about some students at a Sydney uni which had their charges dropped. Feds copped a serve over it. Reading between the lines there wasn't enough to get a conviction or it was not deemed serious enough to push.
Yes, I think I saw that. If it's the same one looked like students were being c0ckheads (probably ripped on something). It was an over reaction from the constabulary but just a storm in a tea cup... slow news day!
I recall about 2 years ago walking past Crown Casino and there was a scuffle between a couple of cops on horse back and about half dozen protesters. Bugger all to it. When I saw it on the news... looked like half of Melbourne was at war!
Every time the police apprehend terror suspects before they act the police are labeled racists.
Every time the police arrest terrorists after a terrorist act, the police are labeled negligent!
How can they win?
Do what The Donald does, shoot the critics!
Who the hell labelled the cops racists for apprehending terror suspects? I haven't heard anything other than, 'well done, ripper.' from all sides of the political spectrum.
I don't think anyone with a modicum of intelligence would react badly to the arrest of people planning harm. Maybe the 1% lunatic fringe, but really no-one takes any notice of them... accept the HUN which will splash dramatic headlines, giving voice to the lunies of the far left (or far right, depends on what suits their agenda that day!!!).
Is that why Setanta let him take fifty uncontested marks?
Yep. Lake might have been the odd shaped bulb in the pack, but the bloke could seriously play... possessed superior judgement re ball in flight. Top defender.
I'm pegging it would take Trump at least 18 hours to formulate a tweet in response!
John Clarke would have been another good one to get hold of the Donald!
But alas, I think it would be all wasted on the yanks! Have you ever seen the shock and confusion when an Irish politician explains the PR-STV election system to a US republican? It's like coaching an opera singer in Klingon!
Now ya talkin'. Clarke and Dawe - comedy/political commentary giants. And you're 100% right, the Yanks just wouldn't get it. You're being very generous to The Donald... 18 hours if he was in a switched on mood, and even then he wouldn't get it. Many who know Trump often comment on the fact that the bloke has no sense of humour, pity really because when he looks in the mirror there is so much 'golden' comedy material looking right back at him...
Speaking of Aussie icons... wish we could sneak Norman Gunston into a White House media session with Trump. There must be a way to have Norman interview/question Trump... who wouldn't want to see that!
Someone should send this to Trump and tell him that Sir Les will be talking with him soon about international relations. As the Yanks seem to not understand irony, he just might buy it! As for Stormy, well if she saw this clip or another Sir Les clip, she'd... mmm, no, I don't think I can take this any further without getting into trouble!
