Good analagy!

Other than Howard and Abbott, who in living memory would have been a bigger fail than Frydenberg IF he loses his seat? The last 10 years or so of his life has been aimed at being PM - just like Porter, Taylor, Dutton and a few others.

You're a hard marker! She won a G3 at her sixth start, beaten a lip in a G2, then won a G3, then won a Listed Race, then 2nd in the Winterbottom G1, then finally beaten a lip in a G3 at the end of her career! What a mare! Sorry, should have done this by PM instead of cluttering up the politics...

Hey Jedi, Fuhryk was a great mare - plenty of black type on her page. Has she thrown any decent progeny? I've got a small share in a 2yo Pierro colt (being gelded this week) with Joe Pride and another Ribchester filly rising 2yo. Neither will probably run as a 2yo - so patience and $$$ lol.

TT. if I am lucky enough to have a share in a racehorse again I'll campaign to have he or her called Bong Bong. And if we can win the Bong Bong Cup all the better lol

Lol, socialists? The old stereotype - doesn't work these days lol. So Hugh, serious question - where have they been the last 10 years? lmao

Oops, Mindanoa

TT? You know that the vice president to Bong Bong (still makes me laugh to type that) is Sara Duterte? I was in Mindanoa in the early 80's and it was bad. I think it will get worse.

On the night of the "last bash" my mate said to Abbo? "Isn't politics like a game of snakes and ladders?" Next morning some young journo grabs Abbott in the Manly surf after he'd been given the arse (and after his last hurrah at Kirribilli) and he said to the journo = "Aaahhhh, life is like a...

Maybe with two bb"s

Funniest thing about Tony Abbott? His nickname at school was "Abo"

Yep lol. Abbott was only about him despite his Jesuit upbringing lol. My best mate went to Iggies with him and was invited to the "last bash" at Kirribillil when he got the arse. All Abbott wanted to do was drink the PM's cellar dry of Penfolds 389? Wish I was there. A couple of other...

I must be pissed. Agree with both of these statements lol

Jedi? It's like trying to choose between the devil and satan lol. Morrisson or Dutton? Morrisson can't win from here. That means he will have been sacked from his last (insert no ) jobs in a row. If Dutton then takes the mantle as leader of the coalition? God help them. They will be in...

OK Jedi I'm back lol. Kerryn Phelps had/has more reason to be proud of her career in politics than many. After Turnbull resigned she won (Wentworth?) and was as good a local member as you good get. My opinion obviously lol

OK, about to walk the dogs at the golf course (tiny town - sand greens), have one while I walk and I might come back. Then I might go all in. In iso and running out of Coopers Red lol. Might have to look in the spirits cupboard? :) Much more civilised political discussion here than the other...

And here in one post is the reason that Australian politics is down the toilet lol

You could write a novel on the corruption a well set up ICAC could uncover. I lean to the centre right but I was rapt that Obeid went down. The only people resiling from a good ICAC are ? who? those arguing against it lol. And who do you think they are? Yes, every now and then they get ahead...

And that's my point Earl. He had to be smart enough to get through on merit - not money. Where the cards fall after that is always a mystery.

Earl? It meant he was the smartest in his cohort. He wasn't the richest? Couldn't pay for his degree? The fact others dropped out means nothing. He earned his academic spot - didn't buy it?
