For the arse-wipe known as Aussie...
Let’s deal with your strawman Arsie. The one you came to because you couldn't follow the debate and just decided to jump in and have a snipe.
The issue wasn’t directly about Malcolm being recognised as a Shadow Minister by Mel. It involved her dislike of Turnbull and belief he shouldn’t have a say because he’s not Party leader. She doesn’t want him as party leader and she doesn’t want him in the party. (Neither do I, but unlike Mel I understand why he could and did say what he said in parliament.)
I said… Doesn't matter if they get it through.... in 6 months Malcolm says the Libs will repeal it.
Her retort…
Is Malcolm the leader of the Liberal Party?
But I'm sure he means well.
It is clear she denies Malcolm the right to comment as he is not leader of the party.
I merely corrected her error.
Malcolm as Shadow Minister had the right to comment on his portfolio.
He had the right as Shadow Minister to present the party position.
In fact just today, Abbott complemented him on his comments and handling of the issue.
I stated… 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.
Her retort…
Really?
Obviously she didn’t have a clue.
Then went off issue and tried to avoid admitting she’d got it wrong.
Abbott has already stated, that he will keep the same cabinet in government as he currently has in opposition.
I then introduced the terms Shadow and Minister, to the argument.
Mel like yourself tried ignoring the issue.
She then showed her further ignorance by stating…
Thats rather presumptuous of you don't you think Roach.
Who's to say Malcolm will be handed his current portfolio back after Abbott wins the election?
When as I said anyone who knows anything knows Abbott has stated his intention to keep everyone in their current positions after the election.
Shortly after she stated…
I am tired of talking about Malcolm in the middle... there are more pressing things worthy of discussion than this grubs dismal future to ponder.
Well she’d been trying to avoid it. She always get’s tired when she’s been shown to be wrong. Let’s move on… nothing to see here. I note she shows her disdain for Turnbull which is the motivation for her first statement here about him to me. Not going too fast for you am I Arsie?
When questioned about her avoidance, she tries to deflect with…
I thought I was on topic, take a look at the threads title and see for yourself.
You dunce.
Followed by more deflection and lots more avoidance.
Next there’s a comment from
mantra that proves both she and mel are not up to date about the issue.
If Turnbull is talking about reversing it - then that indicates he believes it will get through.
I did not correct mantra.
Mel said…
If Abbott said it, re- reversing the reforms, then I might be tempted to consider it, but we are talking about Mr Turncoat here, not even Abbott trusts him.
Again the ignorance re the original issue re Turnbull and his right to speak is being evidenced. Turnbull is Shadow Minister. Abbott is party leader and Turnbull espoused the party policy. Which I mentioned originally that is to repeal the legislation. Do you supposed the everyone should be aware that a shadow minister is the person who has a right to speak on his/her portfolio? Why would someone not recognise that? Ignorance?
I point out yet again why Turnbull has the right to speak and the issue being debated.
I state… What was the actual point being debated? Oh yes... what right had Turnbull to comment on the topic?
MALCOLM TURNBULL... OPPOSITION SHADOW MINISTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS ect.
Mel lies…
My point was and still is, Malcolm isn't the Minister for Communications just yet.
Irrelevant to the issue being debated. Just another attempt to wriggle out of it, without having to admit she was wrong.
Mel lies…
I know Malcolm is Shadow minister, but like I said, he's not quite our Minister for Communications just yet, so he should probably hold off promising his Point Piper mates privy.
More wriggling... and for someone who knows suddenly what he is, she still doesn’t know his responsibilities as a Shadow Minister… hard to believe eh. Impossible actually.
Then ad hom crap from mantra, crap from you arsie… crap, crap, crap. Sorry but you were wrong.
Mel tries to use Aussie's moronic excuse as a way out…
Thanks Aussie, and it appears our resident Roach has jumped the gun, yet again, ho-hum..sigh, I was merely stating a fact, the fact being that just because Turncoat is shadow communications minister pre-election, isn't to say he's guaranteed the communications portfolio should the coalition win the election.
Unfortunately anyone with a brain will know the truth.
Liar liar pants on fire mel....
Using Arsie as an ally is fraught with stupidity, kinda like a Gillard decision.
