Just watched this kid, Claire Falls, on Teev.

Even at 12yo, she is far more articulate than Abbott will ever be,

but she wont ever be PM will she? nor you or any of the 'tards on here.

May I borrow your crystal ball, longy??

She is still more articulate than Abbott though.

Why not?

statistics.

and being articulate is hardly the top quality for a leader. other than Whitlam and perhaps keating, our PMs have been pretty ordinary public speakers. the best public speaking president in decades is Obama, but in times of crisis and in dealing with Russia he is weak as.

so every letter deserves a positive outcome?

but naturally this is far more important than defending the dead of MH17. hypocrites.

I think a genuine 12 year old deserves better then a condescending form letter which ignores the topic.

It would have been preferable to have ignored her instead of insulting her.

I was going to ask, but longy, like Abbott, never answers a question without....(What was the word the young lass used?).... oh yes....without 'waffling' on.

In the context of this thread your comments are a poor reflection on you Longy.....According to Abbott's letter to this young person he disagrees with you!!!

Why not?

statistics.

Statistics said we "won't ever" get a dimwitted, narcissistic woman-bashing, sociopathic, pathological liar for a PM who would use the deaths of innocent people, both foreign and local, to further his career and feed his sick ego.

Statistics were wrong though, weren't they?

Quote:

The Australian Sports Commission has stripped elite disabled football team the Pararoos of its entire $175,000 in Commonwealth funding, a move the Football Federation of Australia has described as "disappointing".
The decision, announced on June 23, prompted Pararoos coach Paul Brown to launch an online petition and "go public" with his plea for funding, which he believes could cost him his job.

------------
The ASC cut all $175,000 from Paralympic football because the sport was deemed to have come up short against targets set by the commission's "Winning Edge" policy. The Football Federation of Australia's pitch for Pararoos funding was also "under-developed", according to Matthew Favier, an ASC executive and director of the Australian Institute of Sport.

Now here's what Dutton says about the ASC....

Quote:

Mr Dutton said the government provided $13 million for Paralympic sports in 2014-15 but the allocation decisions were a matter for the independent sports commission.

Independent????
