So was this your attempt to show the online world that you are a dual degreed educated intelligent person? If it was, it was an EPIC FAIL.

And surprise, surprise, I dont read the SMH or telegraph. That would require that I live in Sydney - which I dont.

Ah.. a complete lack of comprehension from you. No surprises there. Read it through slowly, sound out the words. It'll come to you sometime in the next decade I'm sure.

How are you going with your high school problem? Do you need to find a primary school kid to act as translator?

The time to do media regulation changes is not when youare a govt being hammered by all and sundry. You look petulant, sound mean-spirited and act like you are bad-losers. And that would be pretty hard to deny.

Australian media has its problems but by world standards we are pretty good. The enquiry sounds like an attempt by a woefully unpopular govt to minimise the exposure of its failings. The time to do things like that propose was under Rudd when he was mega popular, but funny enough... there were no problems with the media then.

Gillard sounds like a petulant child complaining about 'people talking about her'. WEll perhaps she could try doing something right, something popular or something competent. Then the media might actually have something nice to say about her. laurie Oakes is deserate for a good new story about her. As usual, Labor is shooting the messenger rather than improving the message.

As will Abbott when & if he becomes PM & they turn on him.
You of course will support the Ministry of Truth that Abbott proposes because untruths,misleading articles & headlines are not in Australia's interest.

"if"?

Have you seen how far in front the lead is??

This is like Australia limbering up to take on the Jamaica 4x100m team....

They'll have a go, but everyone knows the result.

Its *if* alright. Aussies are stupid enough to vote for abbott. There is a year until another election - plenty of time. Polls are just of ppl that do polls. Prolly 500 ppl in his electorate or something.

Gotta love Bess Price...SBS Tuesday....

"Why don't you acknowledge the other heritage that you have and be proud of it and just not go one way?" asked Price.

"I can stand up and say I'm a blackfella and I've got one blood and that's it.

"But my daughter, whose (white) father is sitting next to me, she acknowledges the father and the other heritage that she has and she doesn't just say she's just a blackfella.

"And that has to happen in Australia so that we can all be honest and equal with each other and understanding because it creates that division ...

"Look, I didn't know you were a blackfella as well because I'm sitting here and you look totally like a whitefella to me."
