That part is cut off from the donor base and swinging voters - except swingers in Central-Western Sydney, which is the same votes the ALP needs. Oh crap we're hosed. So eager were you to jump on the initial clause of the sentence (you know, the bit where I state what seems to be happening before the next bit, which is called a secondary clause without which the initial clause makes no sense), you forgot the part where I said the same thing. And even funnier, you ignored the bit where i said They aren't even examining why it isn't working, just copying it. which perfectly describes your brand of stupidity. quote:+1 for Separation of Church and State please. Next thing they'll be teaching "Of Pandas and People". What does this even mean. Let's all hear your explanation of this hilarious non-sequitur.

It's like ordering a car with no wheels and complaining when you can't drive it anywhere: quote:Lots of things — major weapons, for one — have been left off the LCS in order to keep the price down. The list of deleted items includes something called a “Cathodic Protection System,” which is designed to prevent electrolysis. ....and really not that much of a big deal apparently: quote:"I don't think it's a serious problem," said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst with the Arlington, Va.-based Lexington Institute. "It's typical of what happens when radical concepts are introduced for the first time. Some simple fixes should allow the Austal version to go forward."

You would think Shaw would have more to gain in his final months just quietly trying to get a few concessions through parliament by him guaranteeing his stablity. Hell maybe all this playing out at the moment is following on from quiet negotations and someone is trying to call someones bluff.

You said: ewe2 posted:There's a bit on how Bolt is apparently setting the Libs agenda, I think we can just chalk that up to our conservatives aping whatever commentariat/policy structure the US teapartiers set up, with predictable results. They aren't even examining why it isn't working, just copying it. In reading your first clause I take away the fact that Crikey wrote an article alleging Bolt is setting the Libs agenda. "apparently setting the Libs agenda" read by me to mean allegation by Crikey that Bolt is setting the Lib's agenda. The second clause seemed to me to be an explanation of why/how 'Bolt is apparently setting the Libs agenda'. I took it to mean that you allege the Liberal Party and media (I know how you love the Liberal Party Murdoch conspiracy theories) are copying the US commentariat/policy structure to have right wing media drive/frame a policy debate for the benefit of the conservative party. The second sentence "They aren't even examining why it isn't working, just copying it." seems to be to me you saying that their plan is stupid. As far as your second clause goes - I read it that way because it is basically true. Alan Jones, Andrew Bolt etc do frame the debate and the right fills the empty frame and issues selected / created by the commentariat with their right wing responses. My response to your post was therefore - no one who matters gives a gently caress about Bolt ... except for Western Sydney and that as a result of that the ALP and Liberals are both addressing policy within the right wing media framework. I may have completely misread your post???? ewe2 posted:What does this even mean. Let's all hear your explanation of this hilarious non-sequitur. It means they should keep religion out of schools. If they think that a chaplain program is a good idea then it is possible they might want to extend religious 'education' further. One extreme form of that is by corrupting the science curriculum with special creationist crap.

Yeah 24 will have it. Sky probably will as well but they'll cut to a Liberal talking head explaining how this is good for Denis immediately thereafter so there's a very short vomit trigger window.

MiniSune posted:A bit late, but when we do compete on service or quality or experience we still get shafted. I actually have to disagree with you. The engineering company I work for gets a lot of work in South East Asia despite being multiple times more expensive than the fly by night local contractors. This is because our stuff doesn't break in 5 years and then they end up having to pay us anyway to come fix it. They just pay us a good amount in the first place and it works. That's mostly because it's run by oligarchs who want to make as much long term profit as possible, not CEO's who make a huge amount over 5 years then parachute out with their massive bonuses when everything goes to poo poo. EDIT: That said though we've busted our humps for years building that track record, and last year our CEO tried to tell us when we're working in Asia to work to Asian standards. Literally every engineer walked out of the meeting saying gently caress that, we're working to our loving standards he can't tell us others. About 6 months later our Norwegian owners stepped in and fired him. Yes CEO, you tell professional engineers who take pride in their work to slip their quality and safety standards and endanger our colleagues  EDIT2: All our project managers said "nope gently caress that" as well. It was great. hooman fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Jun 3, 2014 |

There is no way Naptime will step aside, considering he was the person that Shaw said he could do business with. Shaw has gone off the deep again, and he doesn't care about the damage he does to either the parliament or State Libs.
