Media Legislation

[Aussie]

Your drink driving doesn't affect me one little bit Aussie.

But.....it does. Or so the Government tells me. It is to keep you safe (and that affects you and me) from me driving while my blood alcohol content is more than 0.05.....a totally arbitrary figure as to whether it keeps you (or me) safe or not. The Government has drawn an arbitrary line in the sand about my social driving behaviour. If Government is going to regulate how pissed or not I can drive publicly, why ought they not regulate what I say publicly.....pissed or not.

But.....it does.

No it doesn't. I don't drink.

No it doesn't. I don't drink.

Ya know, Rochy Poachy Puddin and Pie.....I had hoped your return heralded greater clarity. It seems not. You might as well declare 'Strike Three' now.

Your dd example is pure fucking garbage, you treasonous cocksucker

This is a bit different. The above laws are essential to our physical well being, but being kept in the dark about the activities of our government and ministers isn't for our benefit. These reforms are not about ensuring journalists are polite and courteous when they write about political parties, they are going to ensure that information we are entitled to know about is hidden from us.

You got....

So you bluster and run away...

Your example fell down... you were wrong... nice to see you surrender though.

You really aren't very good at this... are you?

It spells political suicide, and smacks of knee-jerk alarmism and media decoy...what we should be doing is asking the new Labor leadership candidates what they think of the new media package, (Shorten, Crean, et al) because by all accounts, they are being rather silent on the issue.

And why is this I wonder?

Because they know Gillard and Conroy are tittering on the edge of self implosion, are on their way out ...and have not a hope in hell of getting this thing passed, least not in it's entirety anyway.

Doesn't matter if they get it through.... in 6 months Malcolm says the Libs will repeal it.

Is Malcolm the leader of the Liberal Party?

But i'm sure he means well.

[Rorschach]

F.......g idiot....

No he's the guy in charge of the relevant portfolio moron!
If they get in he'll be the Minister.
Hence and let me type this slowly for you.... it is his right to speak on it and announce what they will do about it.

FFS...

you're so dumb you should go back to supporting labor.
