What an enormous pity.

The “Has Beens” is available

The most pertinent question of the day!

Excellent question

I wouldn’t give their footy tips much of a run either.

Does the dissolution of the coalition mean that the Nationals will have the most seats in opposition and so become the official opposition?

You give the nations of the world too much credit.

It’s actually worse than a token gesture. It’s a deliberate insult to anyone opposed to Netanyahu.

Apparently the Nationals have announced they are quitting the coalition. Sounds like a mutual suicide pact.

If one is partisan for one’s own agenda that “should” be enacted ADAP, one’s patience seems to get a little short. Funny how they would all make a better PM than the one we have.

If only someone would invent and market a device for storing energy built up through the day and the releasing it when needed at night. That would seem to solve so many of the objections like “what happens at 6pm”.

I like Penny Wong and I recognise there are ways of doing things diplomatically. But it becomes more and more obvious every day that “requests” and other diplomatic efforts have no effect on Netanyahu and the Knesset at all. Can we not institute sanctions? Even as a gesture?

I’m becoming convinced that the largest single body of workers in the USA is “mobile masseurs”. I reckon I get, on average, 4 or 5 requests to follow from such people every day. And they all promise a “happy ending”.

“I heard” makes it official?

The high of arrogance is to post a message on social media and make it so no one can reply or quote your post. It is indicative of an ego that tolerates no dissenting voices and assumes its pronouncements are brilliantly correct. It is cowardly in the extreme.

Why does it seem that the only companies that cave in to the buffoon are American based? Are your billionaires so cowardly?

If the post as reported is what you actually wrote, it is hardly surprising that you were censured.

I have no problem with those who refused to vote, just with those who did and voted for the buffoon.

The buffoon and “credibility” have never met. How can a so-called journalist write a piece like this!

Tax them

What is the hold that the Zionists have over Labor? What is the quid-pro-quo Labor get for continued refusal to condemn the Zionist state’s actions in Gaza?

If ever there was a situation which was guaranteed to descend into chaos it had to be the legalisation of cannabis. T needed to be carefully done with input by all affected parties. However it appears the social users are disrupting any controls.

When is a “ground operation” actually a bombing campaign from aircraft. Is this the IDF’s definition of “targeting” to avoid civilian casualties.

Use the amazing courage of the Tour de France when considering Lance Armstrong. They stripped him of all awards and he has effectively disappeared from anything to do with the Tour. Once the Supreme Court puts an end to Roberts-Smith’s appeals, he should be equally effectively obliterated.

First truth in political advertising then more generally truth in advertising laws.

If it’s not viable without government support, close it down.

Surely the division of the LNP seats is simple. Which party room do their people sit in when in Canberra.

If religious bodies want to run commercial businesses they should have to pay tax. Not just on their commercial enterprises but on all receipts they receive.

If you want to be political you should have to pay tax.

But isn’t lack of curiosity what ails us? Because they’re not curious, people accept pundits and commentators as accurate portrayers of the world. This leads to “group-think” and stagnation of ideas.

It’s so bloody predictable that losers in a competition want the rules changed so that, if applied in retrospect, they may have won or at least not lost so badly.

The intrusion of the religious into our society has gone past unacceptable to become totally abhorrent.

That education already exists. It’s called reading books.

Why is any pastor called reverend? It implies a level of piety almost never attributable to them.

I suspect they “were never taught much of this in school” was entirely due to a lack of interest and listening abilities. School gets a lot of blame for the deliberate inadequacies of the pupils.

The one rule of consultancy is “tell the client what he wants to know in terms that reflect his most precious biases and prejudices”.

Can we just stop using his name and hopefully he will disappear from view?

The work experience kid at headquarters.

According to who? Other than himself?

That was Tim Smith. A Victorian state Liberal member.

What investigation has been done to see why people are using these drugs and how one reverses the trends currently seen?

This seems to be what those, calling for “something” to be done by the rest of the world, want. OK. Now to be practical. Who commands such a force? Who provides the troops and equipment? How do they get to Gaza? What does the USA do about it? Etc

Why are decisions like this always governed by emotion? The way forward is whatever is best for the country.
