The Liberal Party thread

[Multivital]

Verstyle keeps having a go at slurm for being a part-time cleaner/unemployed, which confuses me, because isnt Verstyle a cleaner (on the mines) too?

I'd not refer to verstyle's 'tongueing arseholes' and 'smoking pole' as 'cleaning' but then again your definition may differ.

[dnbfan]

look out for colin b. at the court soon, was mega keen to branch out to gay voters, and also have a few beers in a hip environment.told him lots of straight people go anyeweay

[VERSTYLE]

...because isnt Verstyle a cleaner

we've moved on

but to satisfy your question, no, and one's choice of profession is irrelevant... i did the cleaning gig for 6 months before being offered something else...

Of course i was offered something else after tonguing arseholes, reading news.com.au, watching skynews and writing letters to the editor in "The Australian" etc

[Slurm]

one's choice of profession is irrelevant

Elaborate trap alert

[Multivital]

but to satisfy your question, no, and one's choice of profession is irrelevant...

...as long as they have a profession, amirite?

here's me thinking you were a high flying executive and everything!

[VERSTYLE]

i love public service cock!

well i'll be damned...

all this time i thought you'd dedicated your life to volunteering at a soup kitchen

[c_avdas]

this is really boring

[GrandMaster]

rofl, i assumed verstyle was a rock nerd or something working on the mines
TURNS OUT HE'S A CLEANER HAHA!

Whats wrong with being a cleaner?

[GrandMaster]

[Slurm]

You are what you "do for a living".

This also dictates, apparently, what you may and may not be interested in, study, or comment on.

Well that backfired didn't it?

[frogman]

Can you please stop giving that douchebag the attention he craves, and get back to the point of the thread, which is to point and laugh at the Libs

[fatnick]

well in this case it seemed relevant/significant given his arguments and personal insults often reference job status/title

[GrandMaster]

well in this case it seemed relevant/significant given his arguments and personal insults often reference job status/title

thats exactly the point i'm making here today

[frogman]

I dont give a shit if its relevant or not, its completely pointless and adds fuck all to the thread

[fatnick]

fair enough and true. but traditionally teknoscape as we know it has been built/thrived on the 90% of pointless shit that gets aborted on here

[frogman]

Oh well, if somethings been done before that must mean its a good idea. Lets bring slavery back in, not let women vote and wind back industrial relations 100 years while we are at it.

[Curare]

Yes, lets!

[kranky al]

only if we get to eliminate reality tv

[Curare]

yeah....

[VERSTYLE]

thats exactly the point i'm making here today

Oh the intrigue!

Grandmasty i think you may have got dropped on a rock as a child, you can even go to my profile to see my 'profession'.

I'm an ARO, most of my day is issuing notams or preparing flight documentation.

so you're a junior secretary then?

It's hard to keep up, it's like you're James Bond or something.

Either way, the fact as that essentially an unskilled labourer you decided to scrape the bottom of the barrel and use employment to savage Slurm is just the height of ironic hilarity.

But all the bowing and scraping you do makes more sense now.

[frogman]

only if we get to eliminate reality tv

I would eliminate most forms of tv.

[VERSTYLE]

So you're getting better off managing a remote airport than underwriting insurance?

Sure i understand that

So where are you travelling next?

Ahoy, the penny dropped!

Laos

x

[Multivital]

Ahoy, the penny dropped!

Laos

x

so you were an unskilled secretary in Perth and moved to the mines to do the same thing there?

again, it's so hard to keep track of your career achievements that contribute to the economic freedom of our great nation.

UNLIEK SLURM HEY HURR HURR

hang on, does that mean you're pissing off to a third world nation?

niiiiiice

[VERSTYLE]

blah blah blah

*wisdom from the King of Siam*

[nosaj D:]

I would eliminate most forms of tv.

What about series that are downloaded/available on DVD - like cartoons and such. Is there a problem with this form of entertainment?

Less concerned about the medium, more concerned about the message it conveys.

During a speech in Sydney last night, John Menadue, a former Immigration Department secretary and a former head of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, launched a scathing attack on the Coalition's immigration policies.

He said re-opening the detention centre on Nauru would be too expensive.

"Under the Howard government it didn't work, and will not work again in the future," he said.

"It's just futile in my view to continue ... with one-liners and slogans about Nauru.

"The Opposition has this phobia about boats. Seventy-six per cent of asylum seekers in the last decade came by air."

He also accused the Opposition's Immigration spokesman, Scott Morrison, of generating xenophobia.

Ummmmm um we take in far less.... we closely parallel the oecd ups and downs... it is trending up i guess due to turmoil in some countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq etc)

[kranky al]

is that all of the oecd countries, an average or what?

[frogman]

is that all of the oecd countries, an average or what?

Its based on figures you can find here

http://www.oecd.org/document/41/0,33...tml#STATISTICS

Its not the average, its absolute figures (divided by 20, as it says in the title)

[frogman]

Good work, those are all reasonable answers.

Now, relate it back to Liberal party policies.

If it makes you feel better, I didnt realise that either, till I went and sourced it.

Abbott : In order to reduce waste and the size of the government, im going to set up another government committee. Also, im going to exempt some of my schemes from being audited by the new committee I am setting up

[kranky al]

uhhhm... boats?its boats, isn't it.

chay the chav says theres votes in no boatsfrog the attack dog says fuck off ya bogmultivital has a recital that says that its vitalfor verstyle to listen to his bile thats a different style by a country milei do weddings, bar mitzvahs etc. also im taking my mcing to the street

[Curare]

Ahh austerity and "belt tightening".

Do less with less!

If government really wanted to cut spending and stop fucking around, they could (especially here in WA) stop changing the names of the departments every time there's government change. The amount of money and time AND resources they must blow with a piss-weak letterhead changes makes me rage and rail. Case in point, in the last 6 years:

Department of Transport-->Department of Planning and Infrastructure --> Department of Transport!

I think that it is striking that 18 months out from the election there is simply a six-point gap between the two sides," he said. "I think it is very interesting that Tony Abbott’s support has gone down. Tony Abbott is like a cheapskate hypnotist in a run-down circus.

"He’s saying to the electorate ‘look into my eyes, you are growing weaker, no more boats, end Labor’s big bad tax, debt and deficit.

"It’s a very cheap performance and if you paid five bucks to get into Wirth’s Circus and that’s all you got from the hypnotist you’d ask for your money back.

"The endless repetition of these slogans is like an attempt by a trainee hypnotist to work wonders on a cobra in basket."

Finally, a bit of scrapping

I know, it's about time. vid below.
