Thank G*d he doesn't live in Sydney's Western Suburbs otherwise he'd be accused by ALP acolytes of living in a McMansion leading a shallow life and only concerned with interests rates.

Thank you dear Lord.

I'm not surprised. I believe the Rudd's made their fortune prior to him moving into politics and good on them. They've obviously made some good choices and if they're smart enough to make the money, then so what? This isn't news. Turnbull is in the same boat, being financially well-off.

True, but whatever the method they've used to accrue such an impressive property portfolio, good on them. I'm sure some of Kevin's parliamentary salary has gone toward it, but I doubt it's the main source. Kevin and Therese have nothing to be embarrassed about - good on them.

Yea well to use a capitalist analogy Rudd is a success and phoney tony a real plodder,at best. Phoney tony is late fifties still has a huge mortgage that he had to increase when he lost government last time because he couldn't " afford to live on his salary as an opposition member" against Rudd who has been successful for a man around the same age. Who would you want in charge of your finances A success or a plodder that battles to get by?

Good grief, you are a nasty piece of work aren't you? Different circumstances, different lifestyles, different choices. Ask both men if they're happy with the way their families are provided for and I bet they'll both say "yes" and rightly so. As long as their families are happy, who gives a stuff what you think, loser?

To be fair, a Grade 3 kid could do at least a little better than that...

I can see why pointing out grammar and punctuation errors gets you worked up; you have a similar issue yourself.


Gramma is spelt grammar.
An apostrophe is used in the possessive case, and not in the descriptive case. Hence, it is "Nazis" and not "Nazi's".
You also need to use a semi-colon to join clauses together when there is no conjunction. The sentence "This is a political forum not a gramma, punctuation or spelling contest, take your crap elsewhere" needs either a conjunction after "contest" or a semi-colon. It is a similar case with this sentence: "You do know what can be done to internet bullies these days, it might for pay you to find out and I'm sure next time you'll have second thoughts before imposing your self thought superiority". A semi-colon is required after "days", or use a full stop and begin a new sentence with "it".

Even though "get a life" is a fragment and not a sentence, you still need to use a capital letter and a full stop.

Naughty. You're still missing the rule of a semi-colon when a conjunction is absent.

Riddled with fallacies and unproven assertions. "Common sense", hey? Some mass murdering leaders were pretty popular too; does that make them attuned to "common sense"?

"Embracing change" is a vague term and can mean and justify anything. How about we "embrace change" on locking up all progressives? 

Additionally, you're confusing evolutionary theory with progressive morality and value judgements. Evolutionary theory is about passing on genes; nothing more.

Misty, you know its rude changing your nick when you get banned for insulting others.  Shame.

Anyway, I'd suggest you do some extra reading on evolutionary theories and how they impact our social structures, and perhaps then you'll understand how any person who still believes in superiority of one human race over another cannot possibly be superior themselves.  ;)

Well I suggest you read up on social evolutionary theory, which is often used to explain how social structures change,and it has nothing to do with progressive morality.

So you should take pleasure in your job, if it makes you happy to show the kiddies how smart you are, go for it, someone has to do it ....  it is not, however, your job to try and correct everyone's grammar on a internet forum .... if I want your opinion on my grammar I'll ask for it, otherwise stick to the topic being discussed and as far as somebody having an 'intellectual superiority complex', I'd say that would describe you to a T.  After all, I'm not the one commenting on  anyone else's intellectual abilities Unless the moderators deem otherwise, I'll say what I want, thank you. And yes, I do consider myself superior to you and the other "progressives" here. I have no hesitation in thinking and saying that. you do understand what a hypocrite is don't you? you accuse others of thinking they are intellectually superior, even though you think you are ... I'll tell you what I think, I think you are an insecure little toad who likes to bully the kids at school with your big red biro, and now you've discovered that you can do it on the internet too  ...  you relish in it, all to make up for the fact that you are dysfunctional in all the other aspects of your life. I've also got another theory, you aren't as intellectually superior as you like to think you are, if you were you would be able to make a valid argument on the topic being discussed WITHOUT having to resort to correcting everyone's grammar. Correcting grammar is your default position, when you don't know what to say, lets try correct grammar .... it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic like I've said repeatedly, get a life Thank you for your abuse and emotional outburst. I can see I've got you on the ropes now. really? what ropes? There's no hypocrisy in my position. I am not saying people can't claim they are intellectually superior; I am pointing out "progressives" are not as superior as think they are. See the difference? actually your position is the very definition of hypocrisy .. by the way, show me one post where a 'progressive' has ever claimed intellectual superiority against anybody apart from you and Andrei, I don't recall anyone ever making any such claims . That makes you a LIAR too.

Yea well to use a capitalist analogy Rudd is a success and phoney tony a real plodder,at best. Phoney tony is late fifties still has a huge mortgage that he had to increase when he lost government last time because he couldn't " afford to live on his salary as an opposition member" against Rudd who has been successful for a man around the same age. Who would you want in charge of your finances A success or a plodder that battles to get by?

Roosh1te, don't you mean his wife is a success and he merely rides on her back. I also understand that she was in fact in partnership with another women who was in fact a former nun and who was the mainstay of the recruitment business. She unfortunately passed away and left her share of the business to her family. The KRudds went to Court and managed to take over all of the business including her late partner's share, therefore everything isn't really as it seems, is it?

Thank you dear Lord. So what?

Don't stop there, keep it going. The whole point of this topic has something to do with a political party lashing anyone who has done well in life. Keep expanding on that theme and see where it takes you. A rough analogy would be a person who detests large savage dogs but turns around and buys an alsatian.

1. class warfare exists on both sides of politics.
2. I don't see Rudd whining like a rabid swine about losing middle class wealthfare and at the same time owning his numerous number of properties.   Perhaps he should be used as an example for the rest who pretend that they are on struggle street themselves, earning 2-3 times the average Australian's wage?

Stop using class warfare - typical LNP supporters who are jealous of another persons success.

So he has millions and a few properties - it shows he doesn't have to be in politics.

If we compare his position to Tony's - Tony has a big mortgage - why this would mean he was in deficit by about 300%.

He can't run a country if he can't manage his won finances! :)

Wealthy people should always be in the Coalition so its a tad confusing for the neo cons when a wealthy person believes in social justice.
