and so people
we hear today he has been cleared of most of the allegations about mis-use of union funds..... with around $17,000 still to be explained.
Sorry?/ do I hear any second thoughts?? that might remove the hysteria from your quite irrational discussions..... everybody knows the facts..!!! OH YEAH??
Morons. Such venom, based on the lies we're told, EVERYDAY.

Just to say, as a person who has been subject to media misrepresentation, I don't believe
any
slanderous crap printed in newspapers, and reported on TV or on-line.
If you are so inclined, be prepared for disappointment and despair, if it happens to you one day.
Hope you got lots of dough.!!!
The case is far from over. There are still the travel findings, prostitutes and dining. I keenly await his speech on Monday.
You are really fooling yourself if you think that he is innocent and/or in the clear. He is neither, and if he were, do you really think that he would have been disendorsed?
This is true. The case is not over.
I don't BELIEVE either of your options.
I
don't know the facts. Therefore I have formed NO CONCLUSION.!!!
So you base your opinion on the fact he was disendorsed? Was He? Didn't notice... and the PM was basically forced to do so, by all the hysteria. She would have preferred to wait until the 'case' had been fully examined in Law.
And rightly so.
If every slanderous accusation, or allegations of malfeasance , were to have the effect of the 'accused' being dumped, we'd hear nothing else
but such allegations. ( IE. be prepared for more crap)..... no way to run a Country.
BUT - in this case, the media , and other interested parties, have made it THE media circus of the yr so far. Or, have we just forgotten all the other disruptive efforts undertaken? because they were basically a pile of steaming f----y?
As I said - Abbott knows all the nasty bits to hit in the Aus psyche, and he's pushing those buttons everytime he opens his mouth.
I forgive you all your weakness and vulnerability to manipulation,
peace and harmony
