Australia brings back Knighthoods

[Djcjdees]

People are hating on Abbot for the sake of hating on Abbott

This. How the hell does it affect any one of you. I don't like Abbott as much as the next bloke but who. Gives. A. Toss?

Its symptomatic of the fact he governs for British interests, not Australian ones.

 

[Tulip]

Who cares?

Led by a man who's styled himself after our only sacked PM. Get a grip.

 

[Hot Pocket]

That he sells out our country for British interests?

Well, I care. Anyone who pays attention cares.

Are you essentially saying your ignorance is a better argument than other people's knowledge?

What was the flight over from Texas like?

 

[Tulip]

Abbott and his merry band of Nazi party dropouts are pretty shit at everything so far.

This is only a minor stuff up really. Sure its stupid and just serves as a reminder that the Libs are the party only for the English (and billionaires), but its just a distraction from the real stuff like ruining our environment, offshoring our jobs, destroying our economy, torturing refugees etc etc

Reminds me a heck of a lot of our previous few governments.

I don't like Tony Abbott, nor do I like Gillard, Rudd, Shorten, Brown, Milne or any of them.

Why don't people actually address the real issue which is the completely uninspired group of people we have in place in all corners who are 'fighting for our rights'.

If that was what they were doing, I would care. But it's not, just bringing back a piece of somewhat obsolete tradition. Means more than the AC.

 

[Hot Pocket]

That may be true, but acting liek the Liberal Party is somehow "equal" to the ALP or Greens is ludicrous. They are objectively a lot worse and a lot less focused on the furthering of Australia and its people.

Like I said, they have strong historical ties to the Nazi party and other fascist movements. There's no surprises that they seem hell bent on handing as much of our soverignty to Europeans as possible, and gutting the rights of Australians.

And as I said before, this is really a minor distraction from the grand level of theft being undertaken by Abbott and his gangsters.

I pay attention. I just don't think this means anywhere near as much as what you're making out. Not caring does not mean a lack of knowledge. Quite the opposite. There are way more important things to concern yourself with.

Why do we have to keep going backwards to some mythical British Australia that never existed?

Wowee. Godwin's law in full effect. Now they're Nazis. You come across really balanced.

The biggest problem we have are our political parties govern to stay in power. Liberals, Labor, it's all about building the party empire. No one will make potentially unpopular decisions for fear of the polls.

It's less fear of the polls but fear of industry, media, the other party shitting on the decisions... then polls that follow after that.

Old people keep telling me that we are embracing monarchy

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I own three football cards, one is a 1980 Peter Knights one, my first footy hero. I heartily endorse this #KnightKnights.

Richmond supporters would prefer Matthew, what with the reverential manner in which they speak about his abilities as a coach.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Problem is I think most people aren't necessarily pro monarchy, but just don't see it as important enough to care about.

I think people just see it as distraction stunt that's been a wheeled out.

Which is good, that people notice it.

^^So much this, no one bothers to have any real vision. What's the point in Labor building the NBN when the Abbott government just kill it off anyway after coming to power.

Coached his way to a VFL premiership, and did so without even implementing an illegal doping program.

Doesn't affect me it all - just like gay marriage......

....oh wait.

The seppos had the right idea

That might be true bit it's not what people have been saying on this thread. It's just been having on Abbott for the sake of it, which is fun, but has little to do with some random being called Dame instead of Mrs.

Er.. Not sure it has absolutely anything to do with 'gay marriage.' And isn't it 'marriage equality'? I definitely support that too. Just don't think this Dames and whatever means anything. Would rather lobby government for more or better public transport or indeed marriage equality.

If someone could actually explain what was wrong with AO, and why this needed to be done, I could perhaps be less critical.

Right now, it appears that Tony Abbott is stuck in 1983, this is something that not even John Howard bothered with, for him to term it "anachronistic" and would be "unlikely" for him to accept such a title, if it were offered. That's how backwards this guy is - and that, is concerning.

Don't they all?
