Dodgy bros from the old Fast Forward comedy program (I think)

Well before Fast Forward - early to mid 80s ABC. 'Australia You're Standing in it' is the first show I remember them in. I think they did a few ABC shows around that era. Great fun :slight_smile:

Comedy company? Bout the same time as con the fruiterer and col?

Yeah the other comedian around that time that stood out for me was Fred Dagg (John Clarke )

Just love John Clarke's style of comedy and his take off of many Aussie politicians over the last 30 years is hilarious

If you get a chance , check out the Gumboot song
 
Well given that Barry O'Farrell has just re-signed due to a $3000 'gift' from Di Girolamo, i think its safe to say that both of them are crooks and will be in deep crap for some time!
 
They will walk away without a single charge.

Neville Wran would have been executed if corruption was taken seriously
 
He won't be charged with anything.

Nevertheless he has been proven a liar and his political career is over.

I hope it was a nice bottle.

'Labor are crooks' lol
 
Question: Do you trust this Government, the State Government, which is proving to be corrupt, to deliver your major infrastructure?

Abbott: That, if I may say so, is an entirely unjustified smear. Let me not mince my words, an entirely unjustified smear and frankly, I think you should withdraw that and apologise. There is no evidence whatsoever for that. Can you please tell me what your evidence for that is?

Question: He specifically said yesterday if he was delivered a bottle of that nature, he would remember it. Today a thank you note has uncovered and he resigned. I think voters would be sceptical about the way this has unfolded.

Abbott: Without wanting to get into an argument with the media, what you have just said is very different from the accusation, the statement that you earlier made and we need to have decent standards in this country. **We need to have decent standards from the media, if I may say so, as well as decent standards from politicians**.

Hard to see what I'm typing through tears of laughter here.

Wran?

I think you are thinking of Askin.

The accusations labelled at Wran were nothing. Ultimately it was guilt by association because of his friendship with Kevin Humphreys. They was never any evidence of wrongdoing by Wran.

Never any evidence that would make a court case.

Enough to send him up the river at a ICAC hearing though

Not really. Humphreys himself said Wran told him he couldnt talk to him about it and that it was a matter for the police.

The Libs don't lie, Winnipeg, they have memory lapses! :laughing:
 
Maybe I've just been around too long.

Honest politicians can't exist in any political party in a senior role. You have to play the political game to advance and that de-sensitises all honest people. Many years ago I supported independents. Not anymore. They now come at a price - they can be bought by the major parties.

Am I cynical? Yes.

But I still don't lodge donkey votes. That's inexcusable. I vote now for whoever I believe will do the least amount of damage to the country.
