@BernardKeane An excellent observation in my experience.

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@SquizzSTK Tanya, I think you should heed the words of Mark twain.."Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". In this case there are two!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@SquizzSTK He really is just "A Hat looking for a Head"!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@RonniSalt @aaronsmith Especially the lines "Phil Coorey and Paul Sakkal..., two men whose analysis has, by careful and prolonged effort, achieved the difficult feat of describing Australian politics without illuminating any of it." and " in less time than it takes Barnaby Joyce to find a footpath".

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@MisinfoFact At least now we can see why they don't release any policies - because they can't agree on them amongst themselves!!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@strangerous10 Can't help thinking that interview should be called "Duelling Braincells"!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@TheNoisyTrunk @Rutzie9 @strangerous10 The arrogance spills out like an expelled breath!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@TheNoisyTrunk @strangerous10 Unsuccessfully, unfortunately!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@aaronsmith 2? What I also perceived was a scornful view of the Parliamentary Press Corps in that their conduct is generally little better than that of those on whom they are reporting. Their decision as to what is or isn’t important demonstrates an overstep of their responsibilities.

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@aaronsmith Aaron, not necessarily an enjoyable read but certainly an interesting and informative one. You have certainly exposed some of the obviously many ‘flaws’ of the ‘system’. Your fairly obvious disdain of the Liberals shows through strongly and in my opinion correctly.

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@RonniSalt Maybe they will "Out-Moron" each other!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@crankyranky @strangerous10 A brilliant summation of Barnaby in three words (bloviating grifting boorish), well done!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@xskinn I wouldn't want her on my skateBOARD, never mind any other board. She is obviously just there to 'parrot' other peoples views/instructions.

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@strangerous10 All this makes me wonder, even more, who thought it was a good idea to give her the job in the first place. Israeli influence much?

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@strangerous10 Its difficult to decide if Sen Henderson is driven by faux outrage, political opportunism, wilful ignorance, downright dumbness or all of the above.

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@SquizzSTK Just a quick question. When these bozos get booted from what is basically their place of work does their remuneration get docked accordingly?
I'm sure I know the answer and the answer to the same question if we were talking about a bricklayer on a building site.

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@twtrrr @strangerous10 I initially read that as "Dangleman" and got all excited, but unfortunately not!!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@JensStuemmler What a pity it didn't get blown into an engine!!

[Paul Thompson @4079Thompson]

@strangerous10 What a moron Kevin Hogan is and proves it every time he opens his mouth!!
