Anthony Albanese - How long? -3-

[Markfs]

john howard on a campaign to take back Libs leadership? Only 86 and in his prime. Embarassingly old but not out of place on the world stage. Trump would love him. The leaders of the empire would embrace him back as a lost friend.

 

[Markfs]

Antony Loewenstein on the list lol

Antony would be in the self-hating chapter....which if it was included would probably indicate that the fix was on...

 

[Bunk Moreland]

As time passes, the scope of Andrews dishonesty, incompetence and corruption becomes more and more obvious. The only reason, he survived so long was due to the pathetic nature of the opposition that essentially did everything it could to lose the elections.

Totally beside the point.

 

[JackOutback]

Pat Rafter, Chris Judd, Sally Pearson and Ian Thorpe are all left wing Labor voters, so this is interesting.

But I believe sport and politics should be unlinked, so I don't agree with this. Interesting to see how it plays out

Judd’s wife went down the covid rabbit hole, wouldn’t bank on a wealthy ex footballer with business interests being a leftie.

 

[NSWCROW]

Comes down to the old " We own you - no you don't " thing.


If he gives in on this, then they'll demand something else and so on.

 

[Markfs]

Maybe because it’s just that important.

What you say in your second paragraph is EXACTLY what should be out there and analysed and EXACTLY why Albo is against it.

It's nice to get your support, doggie. Did you ever wonder whether it's your boys who are the ones who dont want a wide investigation, irrespective of what their local subbranch might want? Having said that, an RC would have legal people in charge and they're pretty much stitched up. It would surprise me if they "discovered" that albo provided the ammo from his secret cache...

Now you're getting silly.

"My boys"? Who would they be? I haven't heard anyone give a coherent reason to deny a RC. "Someone might say something mean" doesn't really cut it.

 

[Donakebab]

because I have been at fund raisers for ALP politicians with 3 out of 4 of them and the 4th is a friend of a friend

Whose sock puppet account is this?

 

[Donakebab]

Nobody from Essendon? Figures.

What exactly figures here?

ex-afl footballer heavily involved in property development seen at political fundraiser for govt of the day

That doesn't tell us how they vote, Eddie is a Labor boy and he hangs around Liberal politicians.

A few years back there was talk of Judd making a run for the Libs at state level. He's very close to Frydenberg. In no universe is Judd a Labor voter.

This is deadset hilarious

Quite a few problematic types here

Not to mention some absolute nobodies

I wonder whose idea this was… very funny stuff

Ross Lyon saw "Defence and How to stop" and just signed ASAP.

 

[Festerz]

Remember that time Ross Lyon, Wayne Carey, Alistair Clarkson, Greg 'Diesel' Williams, Gerard Healey, Leigh Matthews et al got together and put their name to a front page letter demanding a Federal Royal Commission into Church sanctioned Child Abuse; Child Poverty; Homelessness or Racism in the AFL?

Nah, me neither.

 

[Festerz]

Imagine having someone like Wayne Carey as the poster child for a front page campaign lecturing others about 'Australian Values'.

And here was me thinking that the Pro-Israel Lobby and Murdoch Press would be running out of sharks to jump by now.

In tomorrow's edition of the Murdoch papers:

someone mentioned it earlier but for those who require pics .....

Ha! The “sports stars” petition for an Antisemitism Royal Commission was signed by Sam Newman. Yes, this guy, who platformed Nazis.

gerard healy is one of the more obnoxious lnp fanbois going around in afl media - stiff competition because there are a few

angry, entitled ............ unlistenable

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Imagine asking all these people to outline the mechanics of a royal commission and what its purpose is.

Would be like I’d imagine:

 

[The Punter]

I reckon a pretty telling point regarding Andrews

His last reform attempt was taxing elite private schools, it got reversed real quick and he retired soon after.

Dude had a lot of juice and you could argue he was past his peak when he brutally lost that battle but I question how hard he pushed against the system before that regardless of what the HUN would have you believe

That last reform was the brainchild of the Treasurer. The then Education Minister wasn't interested in selling it or defending it, and Andrews probably wasn't that keen either.

And it was amended rather than reversed.

People who whack balls for a living not smart enough to realise they are being used for other people’s interests? Shocked to be sitting here.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

The Israeli Government lobby and their Australian business and media supporters have rolled out the big guns now.

Renowned international terrorism and law experts Luke Beveridge, Alistair Clarkson, Leigh Matthews and Scott Pendlebury have added their considerable expertise to calls demanding that Australian PM Anthony Albanese call a Federal Royal Commission into the Bondi shootings.

Beyond parody now.

I think you underestimate the expertise here. Many of these were also renowned international experts into The Constitution and the working of the Australian Parliament in 2023.

Many of them wouldn’t even know what a Royal Commission is.

Plenty of people across the community wouldn’t.

 

[Markfs]

I remember the RC into Aboriginal deaths in custody in the early 80s. It had a huge impact.

Nobody really knows who is behind all this bullshit but the person doing all the advertising and media statements in Gemma Daley.
