      Are they serious??? We have had nearly half an hour of rubbish, all of these orders/divisions/what-have-you to ensure people aren’t heard or don’t answer a question!!  When do they actually perform their roles? Imagine if the real workplace operated like this. I have only just started watching QTIME since being on mat leave and I am stunned.

      How does K Rudd think he is going to negotiate with heads of mining companies when he bags them personally in Parliament?

      Ain’t Parliamentary Privilege grand!

      I am sure he is far less cocky when facing them in person - all cowards usually are when face to face with those they abuse.

      The classic comment this afternoon from Bronny Bishop - “the member for David Jones” on a point of order re Julia Gillard in her David Jones bag jacket.  I guffawed my coffee everywhere.  It was the classic moment of the year.

      Coward rudd will not even debate his own mining policy in the parliament, let alone face the mining companies. Talk about being intimidated. Unbelieveable !!!

      Labor, with their usual gutter-politics approach, have singled out Palmer as their ‘poster boy’ for coldly malicious reasns. Despite there being hundreds of mining operations in Australia, Palmer alone is mentioned every day, in person, by Rudd as he tries to cast this appalling policy as a class war (he is very fond of wars).

      His objective is clear. Palmer personifies the image that Rudd would want us all to believe is the typical greedy ‘mineral baron’. Apart from his open support for the Libs, he has eaten far too many pies (sorry Clive) and isn’t shy about his wealth. Wow, fat AND visibly rich - what a coup! If Rudd can draw Clive out to defend himself, Rudd will eagerly seize on the opportunity to suggest to his sheep that all mining execs are the same, while avoiding a man o man stoush with the other mining execs (including his mate). Labor will undoubtedly find some excuse for tabling photos of Palmer aboard a yacht in parliament….......

      Me? Well I’d rather have a few minutes chat with Clive than Kevin, for he has created far more wealth and employment than Rudd ever will.

      Steve,

      We all love Clive because he is big, fat and cuddly. Any thing he wants he buys, even a seat for his son in parliament, the job you do when you can’t do a job.

      The man’s wealth is built on luck and public money, just ask him, how much did you put up?

      Sadly Steve, once a serf always a serf, just try thinking, I know it hurts but it is worth the effort.

      Hello John A Neve old chap! I see that,  once again, you resort to immature personal jibes, presumably because you’ve got nothing else - or you’re just plain angry wink

      So, personal insults instead of rational debate - that ould make you a Labor voter!

      Steve_of_Cornubia   :  Oh yes Steve , you are so right , when these rusted on Labor supporters have no facts to present they invariably resort to personal insults instead of rational debate.
      The RSPT will take a huge bite out of Rudd’s arse and an even larger bite from the Labor primary vote in the coming federal election.

      Steve,
      That was not a personal jibe, it was a statement of fact, look in the mirror and tell us what you see?

      As to Clive’s input into his company, blieve me, it was very little.

    • Steve_of_Cornubia says:

      04:53pm | 05/06/10

      John, I’m sure you actually know very little about Clive Palmer, except what you read in Comrades Weekly.

      He, on the other hand, doesn’t even know you exist. Which is another thing I envy him for wink

@nigelmcbain I don't see the nexus between gay marriage and gay sex education in schools. ACL does. Health issues should be taught whatever

@jennijenni a few companies are known to do that - ask for story ideas from job applicants so they can steal them later
