hey you're online! how's it going?

nice one champas, making me laugh out loud in a uni computer lab! i should throw you overboard for that kind of inconsiderate...ness...

Excellent work my friend.

Very funny but my issue with whole situation is that peopel are caring so much. A politician was found to be lying (possibly), what's new? I reckon we'd have alomst forgotten abou tit if Latham wasn't in hospital and that was all the media had to chew on.

What they could have been chewing on was the fact that Latham chose to go public instead if private, taking up a spot a less fortunate tax paying Australian could have had. Any person as rich as Latham who has health insurance would've gone private, but that wouldn't have been the left way would it?

So sorry we couldn't only focus on the issues that suit you FishHead. Talk about being able to twist any political issue to suit your argument. That point about Latham going public, that was an excellent piece of twisting things about. If I had half a brain I might just find it convincing.
As to caring, I think we should bloody well care. I mean heaven forbid we give a toss about our Governments being honest. The reason there is such a huge fuss is because although Governments always lie, Howard has far outstripped any previous Australian PM... and he's proud of it.

Lol, re twisting the issue, it's still a valid point. And the polls are showing that people aren't caring anyway. Politicians lie. Even Latham (recent example, Q: "when does a levy become a tax?" A by Latham: "Uh, I dunno").

As for a bit more indepth look at the overboard saga if you recall just before the last election Howard released the available footage to the public so they could make up their own mind. If he was confident he was lying he would've hidden it away so no one saw it. then you've got the fact the people now making these allegations have waited until this election to tell their "truth" which is different to the "truth" they gave to the original inquiry. Seems like the timing is a little fortuitous for Labour don't you think?

Your thoughts on phone records disproving Mike Scrafton’s version of events? How the heck did he say all he said he said in less then a minute? And does him saying he may have got the sequence of calls wrong mean he got the number of calls wrong? He has maintained and been very forceful on the fact he rang him three times. But that would be facts and facts don’t sit well with the left wing do they?

Well who's saying one side of politics is wrong because I say so now?
As one letter to the editor pointed out it only takes a matter of seconds to say "It appears that the photographs of children being thrown overboard were fabricated Mr Prime Minister.".
I've said before I'm not really interested in Scrafton's account. I didn't believe Howard in the first place, and nor do I think this is the main issue in the children overboard affair.
