Title: If its so important then take it to an election! Post by Maqqa on May 15th, 2012 at 9:32am
This gay marriage issue is just another small target politics the Greens wants to focus on.
In an interview with Joe Hockey yesterday Penny Wong interesting said http://au.news.yahoo.com/latest/a/-/latest/13683810/kids-need-a-mum-and-dad-hockey/ "When you say those things Joe, what you are saying not just to me but people like me is the most important thing in our lives, which is the people we love, is less good, less valued. "people like me"??? If you are going to use those words on yourself Penny then don't expect others to respect your message. If the ALP are so gung-ho about it then take it to the next election. If Penny believes in it so much then join the Greens and fight the cause. She won't because her political career is more important than her conviction for gay marriages. If the Greens think the majority of Australians are all for it then force the ALP's hands. Facts are the ALP are not going to do it. Neither will the LIBs. This is where I support Gillard's and Abbott's opinion on it. Over to you Ms Wong! |

Greens are more than a one policy party.
Sure Libs are, doesn't mean the rest of us should follow the economic illiterate libs down the financial drain. |

The Greens would increase the cost of living for millions of families. The Greens would remove tax benefits used by millions of families. The Greens would increase the tax rate for millions of families. The Greens would threaten industries which employ millions of families. The Greens are extremists. They cannot get anywhere close the vote of the mainstream and unless they change their policies to become more mainstream - they will never, ever threaten to govern in their own right. |

Penny Wong owned the show once again last night.
Calm, respectful, intelligent in fact everything you wish politicians were, Joe wasn't too bad either. Maqqa as usual saw Penny cutting last remark to Joe saw it could be interpreted badly for the libs so has decided a'la Bill Shorten on the preemptive strike against Wong. Nice Maqqa earnt your cheque this week. Verge I thought you understood things a little deeper than this "She opposed Gay Marriage" She ran the party line, as all politicians do, Abbott would ban abortion yet he follows party lines of a womens choice, is he a liar like your accusing Wong of being? You want to go back to Q&A last year where Richo(of all people) put a sterling defense of Wong and Gay issues up. To paraphrase, How is ostracizing yourself out of the decision making process smart? Why not work quietly from within & achieve change? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9hM--P_9BQ start watching from 4.50 mark |

Smithy you know Penny Wong will not appeal to the mainstream of Australia for several reasons.
No need to go massively into them here and now, but she will not ever be PM for those reasons. |

And Joe Hockey supported WorkChoices ( ... he "fessed up" in a candid interview on the ABC's "The Howard Years") Think, also, Malcolm Turnbull's appointed - but less than heartfelt - job of "trashing" the NBN It's known as "toeing the party line" |
Title: Re: If its so important then take it to an election! Post by MOTR on May 17th, 2012 at 2:14am Andrei.Hicks wrote on May 15th, 2012 at 10:38am:
I disagree. Penny Wong has enough talent that given time she would win people onside. You wouldn't sacrifice her at the next election, but she could conceivably win people over as leader of the opposition. The exposure that comes with that position would give her the opportunity to show case her talents. I think that with where we are as a society the risk is perhaps on par with the Tories putting up Margaret Thatcher. To pander to the petty prejudices of the ignorant is to become part of the problem. I'm going to back Penny Wong and say she is my preferred leader. |
Title: Re: If its so important then take it to an election! Post by GoddyofOz on May 17th, 2012 at 3:36am The very fact that Wong had to use those words at all is something this country should be very ashamed of. |

Its good practice for Turnball. If he wants to progress thru the party he is going to have to learn about 'toeing the party line'. So far, he has been an ill-disciplined and narcisistic MP. |

What talent? She has been a very very ordinary minister, her public performances are lame and she has the charisma of John Howard in a coma. And as sexist as it may be, she is also dog-ugly. None of this amounts to anything even approximating good leadership. |

so you are saying those other attributes I mentioned are true? At least Bishop is identifiably a woman. Wong could easily be misidentified as a man - which was my point. Because she looks and acts like a butch lesbian she will never be PM |

There it is, again. Calling me Matty is not fair to me, nor is it fair to him/her, whoever they are. The funny thing is, that I have been called that by four people on here, and all of them have had no proof or basis on which to say that. Yet, in other threads, they say that Thomson is entitled to the presumption of innocence. Funny, that. |

Carbon Tax, which Abbott used to support. It was very different: the Abbnott cvarbon tax was a tax that everyone was going to pay in the form of tax which was going to the Australian taxation office. In Abbotts plan the money was going to be paid by all of us and given to the poluters in what would have been a huge incentive plan to produce more carbon dioxide emissions in order to gain a greater share of the government pay out. Abbnott clearly stated that you would pay tax at the bowser and in your electricity bills and that you may be able to claim some back at the end of the year on your tax return. This was going to be a genuine tax. Labors fixed price is a cost where the Australian Tax office will never collect one single cent from anyone, a tax where nobody will ever pay any tax - never ever. |
