So it's ok to call him a scumbag and maggot but I can't abuse him? Uh...wanna sort out your argument before we continue? He's meant to be the LEADER OF THE COUNTRY, if his decisions and actions have upset people then he should stand up and be accountable for that. Especially after all his talk about the government "taking responsibility" and the "adutls being back in charge". Adults don't run away.

Yeah, you're right, it's not a big deal because they'll only have to pay more for their degrees if they get a job and we all know that the way the country is going that won't be happening.


Well Afro, abuse can take many forms other than petty insults like 'Maggot' and 'scumbag'. Physical abuse is just one example. Mob language abuse should't also be tolerated, that's a bit different from calling him 'maggot' on 442.

Being the leader of the country, it's his job to run the country. Inevitably when running the country you are not going to please everybody, because people are different and have different opinions on things. If you are consistent in your reasoning, given the widespread public opposition and anger to the carbon tax, Labor should "stand up and be accountable for that" right? But they dug their heels in , and was their right, and the country had its say at the 2013 election. In 2016 they will have their say again whether they think Tony should be held accountable but in the meantime his job is to run the country according to their mandate (repealing carbon tax, reducing deficit etc) not tailoring policies to win popularity contests.


He's a Prime Minister, not a President. It's not his job to 'run the country', that onus is on the entire parliament. It's his job to be a leader, a job which he is failing at.

Pay TV also has advertising.

Just less of it. Either way, we're all fucked.

Well done Abbott for pulling out. No point attempting to out-shout a baying mob of unrepresentative, entitlement mentality riddled, socialist swill. They're rusted on lefties for whom Labor isn't left enough.

Abbott and Hockey need to convince working Australia that what they are doing will benefit the country in 3, 5, 10, 20 years. And how it will do so.

These are the people that matter, not a bunch of loud mouthed arts students.

I could turn the same logic around on you and point out that you didn't know sites like Hulu have advertising.

Yep.

I'm left leaning commo, ask ricecrackers, and the student politicians at my uni, both sides, were just wannabe try-hard wankers.

99% of them "studying" for an arts degree and whinging that they were too poor and the government should pay them a higher allowance to live on while at uni. All of this while having a the massive sum of 10 hours a week contact time at uni.

Meanwhile me and my mates who had 30+ contact hours a week studying engineering were working 3 or 4 nights a week in the local pubs and nightclubs and we still found time to drink ourselves silly, study and pass subjects and shag birds away from home for the first time in their lives.

Great times.

Advertising free content is either the ABC, BBC or similar, which you want to scrap. Or illegal streams. Which you just struck down.

Podcasts might be free, but that doesn't mean you want to listen to them. Oh cool, here's a podcast about styrofoam...I'm sure it'll be fascinating.
