Actually batfink, you remind me of my Grandfather. Back in the 70s when my Dad first started growing his beard, my Grandfather disowned him and didn't talk to him for over a year, simply because "only Communists have beards". You're old and set in your ways, someone who believes and can't see past everything they are spoonfed by shoddy politicians. You are an atypical Libertard. -PB

Rather than the rich stealing from the poor it's the other way around.

-PB Well Ballbagz....no i'm not.....at this stage it may appear that way....but over the past 51 years i have been a swing voter, voted for Bob Hawke back in the day & still to this day think he was a great PM.........i have just had enough of this corrupt,incompetent,deceitfull and extremely wastefull government and as far as i am concerned stevie wonder would have better vision than these morons......... and as stated by many commentators, politicians and pundits the budget put forward is a budget to trap the incoming government into certain budgetary corners....... To many people have short memories regarding the waste and comical blunders of the past 5 years of these ALP governments, Gillard has placed Australia on the same path as the 13 years of the corrupt and farcical NSW ALP government. anyway if i an Atypical Libertard, then you would be an Atypical ALPTARD, as soon as someone stumps up opposition to your opinion you attack their credibility.......

These are the people that will be leading our nation come September. http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/political-news/mps-sick-child-furore-abbott-still-doesnt-get-it-says-pm-20130516-2jnme.htmlQuote:The Coalition's initial rejection of a Labor MP's request to go home to be with her sick child made ''an absolute mockery of everything the Leader of the Opposition has ever said about working women'', Prime Minister Julia Gillard has said.
Labor MP Michelle Rowland had earlier on Thursday hit out at the Coalition, saying it knew she had a sick child when they refused her request for a ''pair'' to leave Parliament, contradicting statements from opposition frontbencher Christopher Pyne.
Responding to a question on the Coalition's actions, Ms Gillard said: ''It just shows so clearly that he [Tony Abbott] doesn't get it.''
Federal Labor MP for Greenway in western Sydney, Michelle Rowland, has hit out over initial refusal from the Coalition to grant her a pair so she can take leave to care for her sick child.
The Coalition initially rejected Ms Rowland's application for a ''pair'' to attend to her daughter Octavia, who had a fever and was vomiting. After an outcry from government ministers, the Coalition has on Thursday morning backed down and granted Ms Rowland a pair.
A ''pair'' is a gentlemen's agreement between parties in which a politician excuses themselves from a vote to square the numbers when an opponent cannot attend Parliament for a good reason.
''I put in what I thought was a reasonable request,'' Ms Rowland told Fairfax Media on Thursday morning. ''I expressly stated it was because my child was sick and I would really appreciate the opportunity to be home with her . . . and I got a reply yesterday that that was declined.
Ms Rowland applied for leave on Tuesday to the goverment's chief whip Chris Hayes, who then referred the request to opposition chief whip Warren Entsch in order to secure a pair for Ms Rowland from 6pm on Thursday. Mr Entsch rejected the request on Wednesday.
The controversy over the Coalition rejecting Ms Rowland's application to attend to her sick child comes at a time when Mr Abbott - who has long battled poor polling among women voters - has been campaigning on issues such as paid parental leave saying working women needed to be supported to have families.
''This is my first baby,'' Ms Rowland said. ''She's 14 months old. It's the sickest she's been . . . I simply wanted to be able to get home on Thursday night.''
Mr Pyne, the manager of opposition business, claimed on Thursday morning that Mr Entsch ''was not aware [Ms Rowland] had a sick infant until this morning when he read it in The Daily Telegraph''.
''If we'd known it was Michelle Rowland's child we would've given her a pair and more importantly we would've said, 'Why would you wait until five o'clock on Thursday to go home? You need to go home today','' Mr Pyne said.
''Michelle Rowland's a new mother with a young child, if she had a sick child and she told us on Monday she would've been told by Warren Entsch 'go home today Michelle, what are you doing here?' That's exactly what we would have said.''
However, Ms Rowland has shown Fairfax Media a letter that proved Mr Entsch knew about her daughter's illness when he rejected her application.
''These are lies that are being said this morning. What irked me was seeing Christopher Pyne on doors this morning saying things that were untrue,'' Ms Rowland said.
Ms Rowland later said it was ''disappointing'' to hear Mr Pyne ''turn this into a judgment on my abilities as a mother''.
She said that she had a supportive husband and family who were helping to look after her daughter.
''A lot of parents whose children are sick still have to go to work,'' Ms Rowland said. ''I simply made a reasonable request to go home on Thursday night.''
In the letter dated Wednesday, May 15, Mr Entsch wrote to Labor's whip Chris Hayes: ''I am writing to you in relation to your request to provide a 'pair' for Ms Michelle Rowland, Member for Greenway due to her child being unwell . . . The Opposition will not provide a 'pair' for the Member for Greenway on this occasion.''
Mr Entsch gave no reason in the letter for rejecting the request.
Mr Pyne claimed that Ms Rowland had said ''she had an ill family member'' rather than a sick baby. He said it could have been a cousin or an uncle and that if the Coalition knew it was a baby they would have granted her the leave immediately.
But Ms Rowland's application letter, dated Tuesday, May 14, states: ''My baby is at home and has been unwell. I would be grateful to be home on Thursday night to be with her please.''
Labor ministers rounded on the Coalition over the issue during media interviews on Thursday morning.
Health Minister Tanya Plibersek told ABC radio the Coalition's refusal to grant Ms Rowland leave was the ''best example ever that they don't care about modern families''.
Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury told Sky News that Mr Abbott wanted people to believe he was committed to policies that support women, but that was not the reality.
Mr Entsch released a statement on Thursday morning saying: ''The application for leave for Ms Michelle Rowland came in on Tuesday morning with a series of other back-bencher leave requests.
''I queried the request because it was clear from the wording on the application that there was no sense of urgency and on that basis I refused the pair.''
Mr Entsch said that ''if Ms Rowland's child is sick, then she should leave the parliament immediately and a pair will be granted''. awww c'mon Matt are you on Staff at the herald sun these days?????????????????? there is a word there....INITIAL.... probably when they got the full truth.........](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) What full truth was missed in the initial request? Pyne lied, plain & simple. How can you claim to be against political lies, but are now making excuses for a[size=9] proven liar?[/size] :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

You're the one calling me ballbagz for the past several pages, you started it so there's no need to get upset :lol: And yes I called you a moron because that's what you are, you implied that I am a massive fan of Julia Gillard and implied my political support was of a certain nature (not that it matters). I informed you of how I voted. And yes I "eluded" that they are all career politicians, because they all are. I asked, you said no, but you hardly backed it up with a prime example of someone who isn't. So yeah keep going round in circles, I like wasting time. P.S. You sound mad, politics seems to get you blood pressure up, best to try and avoid that. -PB

I think the political mood and confidence in our leaders pretty low right now. Look at Labor trying to institute all these fantastic policies like Gonski and NDIS and yet they are still hated. They've basically stolen billions from the Australian tax payer to fund unaffordable progrmas and create a false legacy based on lies and fiscal incompetence. Labor is so incredibly hopeless managing the economy, they are basically the political equivalent of Osieck, everything they touch turns to shit but they are convinced they're doing a good job. The next Liberal government will be another 3 term one cleaning up this mess.

How's Gonski a good thing? They're just moving money from universities to schools, resulting in further underfunded tertiary education that will become even more reliant on overseas students for financial support.
Can't comment on NDIS, don't know enough about it. But it's funny how Armidale is getting a shedload of moolah thrown at it right now...chunks of pork flying all over the marginals.

Look at Labor trying to institute all these fantastic policies like Gonski and NDIS and yet they are still hated. They've basically stolen billions from the Australian tax payer to fund unaffordable progrmas and create a false legacy based on lies and fiscal incompetence.
Labor is so incredibly hopeless managing the economy, they are basically the political equivalent of Osieck, everything they touch turns to shit but they are convinced they're doing a good job.
The next Liberal government will be another 3 term one cleaning up this mess.
Can you provide any evidence to support your claims? There is plenty of evidence out there confirming exactly the opposite in regards to the economic credibility of the Gillard Government....it might also be worth remembering it is a minority Government, so if as you alledge they're so bad....doesn't some of the blame lay at Abbotts feet by definition?

Young left with $20,000 less super under Abbott: Labor Date May 17, 2013 A 30-year-old on an average salary will have $20,000 less in their superannuation accounts by the time they retire under Tony Abbott's budget plan, according to Labor's calculation of Treasury figures. Labor ministers have rounded on the Opposition Leader's confirmation in his budget reply speech on Thursday night that he would delay by two years the increase in compulsory superannuation contributions from 9 to 12 per cent. Superannuation Minister Bill Shorten called the two-year delay ''complete stupidity'', saying Mr Abbott was preventing people from having more money for retirement. ''The next generation of Australia workers will be retiring poorer. This is crazy,'' Mr Shorten told Fairfax Media. ''Tony Abbott's policies will cost 30-year-old Australians $20,000 by the time they retire if they delay increasing superannuation. That is just stupid.'' Mr Shorten recalled Mr Abbott once described compulsory superannuation as a ''con job'' and said he did not believe he had changed his view. ''A leopard never changes his spots,'' he said. A spokeswoman for Mr Shorten said a 30-year-old worker on a full-time average wage - who makes no additional contributions and retires at 67 - would see an extra $127,000 by the time they retire under the government's promised boost to superannuation. This would drop by $20,000 if the plan is deferred by two years as proposed by Mr Abbott in his budget reply speech, she said. Former ACTU secretary Bill Kelty, who helped build the super system with former prime minister Paul Keating, said the decision was a ''half measure''. ''It's a sad decision to defer generational change unless there's a strong reason,'' he said. ''Because deferral in the past always meant that you lose it.'' The Financial Services Council, a lobby group for retail super funds and fund managers, which previously threatened an industry campaign against future changes to the industry, called on the Coalition to ''unequivocally re-commit'' to increasing the SG to 12 per cent by 2020, rather than 2022. Finance Minister Penny Wong also attacked the Coalition on their superannuation plan, saying Mr Abbott had made clear would ''take an axe'' to the savings of 8.4 million Australians. ''Let's understand what Tony Abbott is saying: that it's fine for the poorest kids in this country to be left behind,'' Senator Wong said. ''And he confirmed his plans to hike up the taxes of everyone earning under $37,000 a year, mainly women, by $500,'' she added. And the Prime Minister also weighed in on Mr Abbott's budget reply, telling reporters in Hobart on Friday that Mr Abbott had made his choices ''clear''. ''These are just the start of the cuts to the bone that the Leader of the Opposition has planned and it's clear that his targets are working people and their families,'' she said. Shadow assistant treasurer Mathias Cormann said on Friday that the Coalition had stuck to its commitment not to scrap the planned increase in compulsory superannuation. "We are delaying the phase in to the full 12 per cent by just two years so we'll get there by 2021 instead of 2019 under Labor," he said. "In the meantime - to the extent the super increase comes out of people's wages, they'll be able to keep more of their money pre-retirement to help with their cost of living pressures now. "To the extent that it is funded by business, this is a saving for business which helps them keep people in jobs at a time when Labor is predicting a rise in unemployment in their budget." Senator Cormann said the decision to defer the increase would save $1.1 billion a year by 2016/17. In her budget reply speech on Thursday night, Greens leader Christine Milne attacked both Labor and the Coalition. Treasurer Wayne Swan had offered Australians ''a finance plan without a broad vision'', while ''Mr Abbott's alternative is worse''. Mr Abbott's budget reply speech was ''full of rhetoric but devoid of detail – the very magic pudding against which Mr Hockey railed'', Senator Milne said. Labor could not aspire to be both a reforming government and a low taxing government, she said. ''Labor is not doing enough and we know Tony Abbott will make it worse.'' The Greens would move to block Labor's cuts to university funding. ''The challenge for Tony Abbott is whether he will work with the Greens to protect our universities,'' Senator Milne said. Speaking to reporters in Canberra on Friday, Senator Milne said: ''Abbott's budget is irresponsible, sneaky and cruel.'' ''It is sneaky because Tony Abbott is hiding behind an endless mountain of white paper and commissioning a review into spending to disguise his real agenda. ''His budget is all about taking more and more from the poor while giving mining companies, banks and big polluters a free ride.'' with Madeleine Heffernan Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/business/federal-budget/young-left-with-20000-less-super-under-abbott-labor-20130517-2jqhs.html#ixzz2TYjhNdaY

And yes I called you a moron because that's what you are, you implied that I am a massive fan of Julia Gillard and implied my political support was of a certain nature (not that it matters).
I informed you of how I voted.
And yes I "eluded" that they are all career politicians, because they all are.
I asked, you said no, but you hardly backed it up with a prime example of someone who isn't.
So yeah keep going round in circles, I like wasting time.
P.S. You sound mad, politics seems to get you blood pressure up, best to try and avoid that.
-PB you mad bro????=p~ \:d/ \:d/ not me never.......Turnbull isn't a career politician...prime example right there;) ;) ...... didn't think you were so sensitive about the Ballbagz thing so from now on i won't refer to you as such..... i am no more a moron than you are unless that's what you are admitting to....:-" :-" ;) Yes a prime example. [size=7] thank you for finally acknowledging i was right[/size] I'm not sensitive, you're the one who got his knickers in a not when I called you senile/moron. Seeing as you bring nothing other than blind one sided Libertardian views to this thread you're not even worth trying to debate about anything with. -PB i would suggest calling someone a fucking moron is a tad worse then a slight of hand changed to their screen name.....however i do apologise if it offended you.... however you continue a "libertardian" ....seriously.....get a grip....i am just totally over the government, you try and run a business in this enviroment in the construction industry and look at all the cost increases , compliance and red tape that has been lumped on us.....not to mention the increase in entitlements that was dumped on medium size businesses with the stroke of a pen when the new industrial relations bills was introduced...... yes and i am so desperate that i am prepared to trust Scabbott....because no one can rape, maim or plunder a nations wealth as quickly and decisively as this inept government.... who else should we turn to????
