    Thanks for your contribution.

    Who would have thought Linda Martin would wade into this debate as well...

    I do kind of agree though, he ain't a great leader, a bit like a Fence Post Turtle...

    It's not like Ireland's track record is exactly fcuking super either.

    I'd love to know exactly what your $400k/year position was where you could get away with not being able to spell children 25% of the time and not knowing the difference between upping the ante against refugees and upping the and anti against refugees.

    I don't mean to be pedantic, I'm just upping the Aunty.

    What was the $400k/year job anyhow ?
    I'd tolerate a lot of racism for $400k/year

    I apologise for the spelling , I should proof read before I post,

    The job was a hospital specialist , hence having to deal with the refugee children.

    This was my experience of Australia, a democracy that locks up refugees in the middle of the desert and lies to up the anti against refugees. and locks up political opponents.

    Can I ask what you did for a living?
    Also, what political opponent did Australia lock up?
    Where are these camps in the desert?

    I smell a fish in your story.

    See above post

    Pauline Hanson, I dont agree with her politics but Abbott did a hatchet job on her and then lied about it on TV.

    Woomera ( there was another in port hedland) I believe that are both closed now.

    Are you accusing the Jury at the Brisbane District Court off being corrupt as well? They obviously had evidence in a Court and it was strong enough for a conviction.
    Hanson, 49, and Ettridge, 58, had pleaded not guilty to fraudulently registering One Nation in Queensland on December 4, 1997.

    Hanson had also pleaded not guilty to dishonestly obtaining almost $500,000 in electoral reimbursements after the 1998 state election.

    But a Brisbane District Court jury found the pair guilty on all counts after more than nine hours of deliberations.

    That's a fair claim to make, does not surprise me though, I used the word Fairytale a few pages ago and it's still first thing to come to mind.

    BTW, I used the same source as yours to make it easier, I'm off for a while, I will answer any more of your Fairytales when I get back

    No never said the jury were corrupt.

    In fact the conviction was overturned after a few months or so in the clink.
    But politically she was gone.
    Interesting to see what some of the liberal politicians thought of the conviction
    :

    Desired effect was to destroy her and for the liberals to pick up the votes that ensured they were reelected following the hugely unpopular introduction of GST.

    They claim "mistrust" with police had led to the real rate of anti-Islamic episodes going unreported and the threat of segregation for women wearing the niqab into Parliament had licensed a new wave of people willing to vent against Muslim women in public in recent days.

    So you are a surgeon then?

    Also that camp in the desert has been closed for 12 years now...

    Pauline Hanson was a setup, did they bribe the Jury members?

    OK, I am going to report this post, because all it is is a fly by link to an article and gives no opinion based on it. This is not allowed in AH or Politics so this thread or board should not be a spring board for people to post quotes from an article and then leave and not respond to follow up questions.

    It's typical troll ambush bait, see it for what it is.... simple.

    Of course not, there are hundreds of miscarriages of justice where a jury finds the defendant guilty.

    BAxter was closed in 2007 and the detention was moved to offshore islands -very handy to stop media and protests by anti detention activists.

    So how did Tony Abbott lock up a political opponent? There is no proof of a Judaical conspiracy here.

    No there was no judicial conspiracy, it was a political conspiracy.

    The same people tried to smear a high court judge into resigning possible because he was gay.

    People, if we can't discuss something like grown-ups, the discussion will be stopped.

    The rule is: attack the post, not the poster. Live by this, or lose your posting privileges because of it.

    However, this is not your initial assertion. The judiciary puts people into jail, not the legislature or politicians like you originally claimed.

    Please read my initial assertion again ( post 68)


    Judiciary interprets the evidence, makes a judgment.

    Abbott, who this thread is about, established a slush fund to ruin Hanson through the courts.
