I see you abandonded the tax debate with me, nemesis! probably the best result for you!

LOL...notwithstanding that it is all-but pointless debating in circles with dogmatists like you - on matters of socio-economic equity and long-term environmental and fiscal responsibility - you are not on Eastern Standard Time and (as you are aware) the National Leadership Debate is on here...

well when you maintain that 47<30 there is never any scope for RATIONAL debate! Just remember to 'maintain the rage'! it's all you've got!

Some interesting reading for those looking for some serious political opinion during this sleep inducing run in to master chef

It's an excellent article. Maybe Latham has actually found a job he is good at! interesting notion for those silly posters who seem to think labor are centre and liberal are extreme right. Latham cant tell them apart. on policies, neither can I

I also noticed, the longer gillard spoke for, the more her worm declined. The more Abbott spoke for, the more his worm turned up. No wonder she only wants one debate.

Aw! We're doomed, one of these people will be running the country. I think I'll catch one of those boats to Nauru. It was all about fair dinkum, boats and fair dinkum moving forward. Lots of spin from both sides, I give it nil all.
Vote 1 Bob Brown, and on that subject, it was nice of Julia to take the credit for some of the greens policies.

Surely, what is more relevant, is the fact that a wannabe PM saw fit to make such an immature and petty statement!? In the first instance - and at the risk of cementing the negative impression in the minds of the majority of females who already thought he was unfit to govern!?

I don't think even you believe that. Yo only have to look at commentary on the ABC Drum and the like for female commentators saying they were raising their fist in the air for women everywhere as well as comments on Australia having their first female PM (unelected). If you think that it has no influence (or 0.05%) then I say you are either sadly mistaken or ignorant

No passion. No verve. Very lack luster. Indeed the commentary has more life than did those two leaders. This thread has more life than those two leaders.

I am left feeling that neither of them really want to be leaders of vision... that they... like a process worker... are just doing the time until retirement.

Heck, corporate meetings that I attend have more passion and verve that that public exercise in the art of being boring.

I'll type slowly and try to explain it one more time: he was having an immature and petty dig at a significant portion of the e-l-e-c-t-o-r-a-t-e!
