Something that really gets me is that Gillard Labor and supoorters of the ALP whinge about the 'right wing that is out to get them. When you look at it it's pretty hard to still consider the ALP left wing they're almost aas right as the Coalition. Anyone else find this irony really strange?
And I still believe she's done wrong anyway her word means nothing to me now after the carbon tax lie.
How do you feel about Abbott's litany of lies & half truths?
Don't bother I know you fail to see anything of the sort so will come back with
"what Lies"
yawn.
As for the rest quite a few posters here have been saying exactly that for over 2 years now.
I don't like anyone lying but so far
Abbott hasn't had the chance to lie as PM. Glad. i'm not the only one to think it but I haven't seen anyone else say it understandably as I've been on this site for about a month only. Labor still considers itself a left-wing party, don't and can't see why.
The lie that has apparently brought the country to it knees.
Was not uttered by the PM
Gillard was not PM when stating those words, she was the leader of a party contesting the election.
Parliament is dissolved & in caretaker mode from when the PM leaves the GG.
It's the reason they go there, to ask the GG to dissolve parliament.
Quote:In summary, the Governor-General has many important constitutional, ceremonial and community duties to perform. For example, the Governor-General:
dissolves the Parliament and issues writs for new elections;
commissions the Prime Minister and appoints other Ministers after elections;
gives assent to laws when they have been passed by the two Houses of Parliament the Senate and the House of Representatives**;
acts on the advice of Ministers through the Executive Council to issue regulations and proclamations under existing laws; to appoint Federal Judges; to appoint Ambassadors and High Commissioners to overseas countries, to appoint other senior Government officials; to issue Royal Commissions of Inquiry; and other matters, as required by particular legislation;
authorises many other executive decisions by Ministers such as approving treaties with foreign governments.
