Putting partisan views aside a reasonable person with analytical skills would understand Gillard was supporting the principle of "due legal process" and not defending Slipper the person as suggested. It would be very dangerous to set a parliamentary 'kangaroo court' precedent that may in some future government enable some shocking injustice to a innocent politician simply for political expediency.<br />Rosa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934629780116612252.post-39616187493413023772012-09-09T09:33:15.459+10:002012-09-09T09:33:15.459+10:00It has to be said that in that same short time per...It has to be said that in that same short time period (after election results were declared) it has been alleged in the media as late as 2004 that Abbott kicked in a glass panel door on univesity premises - something he hasn't denied.<br />So this present allegation co-incides with other reports of Abbott's extreme anger on the night.clarencegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12644378636575711261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934629780116612252.post-80784426442062283532012-05-13T10:08:00.683+10:002012-05-13T10:08:00.683+10:00Blofeld and SPECTRE strike again!Blofeld and SPECTRE strike again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934629780116612252.post-23528933386284678062012-05-12T17:40:39.477+10:002012-05-12T17:40:39.477+10:00surely these kids should be able to sue for false ...surely these kids should be able to sue for false imprisonment, eventually.http://www.thesocialshuttle.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/08385625594884495221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934629780116612252.post-64010533411646818512012-02-08T08:14:19.686+11:002012-02-08T08:14:19.686+11:00Well richard, i don't agree.

I am afraid I stopped listening after the first sentence, which reads:-<br />"That the House express its deep regret at the death on 8 December 2011 of the Right Honourable Sir Zelman Cowen AK, GCMG, GCVO, QC, a former Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia from 1977to 1982".<br /><br />The words "a former" are redundant. If the drafting of the opening sentence is so sloppy, I'm scarcely going to waste my time reading on. <br /><br />shaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934629780116612252.post-87349453947729407402011-07-17T02:09:46.865+10:002011-07-17T02:09:46.865+10:00Waste of space commentary!
