Give you that.
That was an amazing night.
Fox studios opened, the republic referendum came in, and Kennett got dumped out of nowhere.
Opening up some wounds and memories there
Having said that, there is a lesson for the ALP in that.
Kennett said you had to look after the body before you worried about the toenails.
It was an amazing night for me, living in Canberra, no radio or TV reporting on elections ( in any case, thought Jeff was a shoe in) , in depression mode, would not answer phone in case it was from Carlton supporters, late in the night got the news from Vicland.
Flew down to Bracksland to watch Carlton getting beat the next week.

Best things about that election was Felicity Kennett saying she didnāt know a single person who voted Labor.

Kennett ran that campaign like Eddie runs Collingwood - no one else in the Government was allowed to speak, it was all about him. That went well
Thing is, if the ALP are relying on thatā¦
Bracks was a goober.
Albanese isnāt even that.
Albanese is that other kid in Dark.
Not Jonas, obviously, not Bartoshā¦the other one. Says strong things sometimes and then disappears for about six episodes.
Definitely in the show.
And here comes Bacchus to tell me why excellent qualities for a whip make you a party leader.

Well for what it is worth, Bill Shorten is a really great bloke to have a beer with. Down to earth, sincere and very interesting. the only thing I never liked was that he supports Collingfilth.
Call him names if you want, but your description is just wrong, and I hav enever heard anyone but you label him as such. And I have given up giving a fark how people vote, as it seems to me if they base their decision on nonsense like your description of Bill then nothing I do will change anything. And I do not get you; you find it ok to insult Bill Shorten but then get offended when I give it back.

Again,ā¦ the 5 to 10 % that matter and swing an election most certainly do, ā¦ and NO there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, ā¦ it just IS.
No one can, you just have to have someone with charisma and POPULARITY to go WITH the good policy to win an election for Labor when they are so up against the Media concentration.
Either that, or make a deal with the Devil like Kev did, but Bill wouldnāt,ā¦ which won much admiration from me, and others involved with the Party down here.
Also, again, ā¦ Bill would have won despite his lack of that certain quality, if he didnāt shoot himself in the foot in the last few Weeks/Months by announcing Franking Credits, Electric Utes and massive Neg Gearing changes BEFORE gaining Office.
Completely unnecessary and gave the Devil and the Lieberals all they needed to pull it from the fire.

Mate i didnāt insult him. And i reckon heās the probably a lovely bloke too. Why donāt you up your parsing game and try to distinguish between someone expressing a hypothesis and someone attacking a bloke? Hint, you do the latter.
Itās not best equivalence but think of the way footy supporters tend to react to types like Minson, Dawes, even Lumumba, who didnāt speak the right language in the right voice. Instinctive dislike that went beyond the gurnsey. Anyway, i reckon itās constructive to look at the various whys and wherefores but maybe Iāve got too many days off right now
For what itās worth maybe i should have said āeffeteā, or even better āsoftā. Again, not my belief that he is either of those things
Iād have just said āwankerā with a history of back-stabbing.
Thatās the entire establishment
No comments here on the Google situation ???
Has itās own thread.

Once again F. F. S.
I know what far right extremism looks like, seeing it a lot around the world right now, whatās far left extremism? Like extinction rebellion? Antifa I assume, but no one seems to know what they even look like
