Channel 7 - Gay bashing homophobes?

I'm no fan of his performance as a Minister either, but I think the journo went too far with this.

From what I remember, the journo in question was once employed as a senior adviser by one of our previous Premiers in NSW parliament, and got the boot when the Premier got rolled. Could it be that he has some scores to settle?

The sooner the election comes the better. I think this governement is a national embarrassment. Radio news this morning is reporting that our current Premier was blocked from appointing her choice to the transport ministry by the back-room boys. This will only strengthen the "puppet Premier" tag she's been labelled with.

ajw

Yes i think it is outrageous - the way we allow the media to run this country and most things in our lives - Laury Oaks changes governments & policy yet not one of us ever voted for him or any of his cronies.

NOTE - who voted to change my signature by the way

BLOODY LAURY OAKS again??:((:((:?:?

cheers :D:D:D

Its amazing a Politician is outed and has to resign,. Why because he's been lying to his family, freinds :? Yyet how many performing artists actors, muso's sports men and women gain from outing themsleves.

Kenneally can't discriminate against him its Government Policy and the court action would be his win an early pension for life on top of his parlimentry pension. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The hands of the Puppater/s should be cut off especially the ones operating Obed and Tripodi.:((:((:((

Wonders what people would think if this guy was married to one of your daughters?

The deception and misuse of tax payers' funds aside for a moment, why has the media gone down this path? Because the public, on the whole, lap it up. It makes for good coffee break discussion.

I don't buy newspapers, but if I did, I would boycot any paper that published such tripe on the following day (and the same for any TV channel) as a protest. If everyone who resents the way the media has headed were to subscribe to this course of action, maybe we could turn the standards about and get some pride and decency back.

Well as a matter of fact my daughters boyfriend (NOW EX BOYFRIEND) was found to be having it off with one of his female workmates - my advice was to pi$$ him off, which she did

- we didn't ask or expect him to be sacked from his job and be publicly exposed and ridiculed for his actions/preferences - yep he is a school teacher so do you think that his morals are below a suitable standard to teach your kids??


so in answer to your question i still think it was uncalled for and unjust.- its a private family matter

cheers david

So despite her family problems she would have to put up with the scum from the media wanting her comments or even wanting to buy the story of her life in the bedroom - and don't forget the kids.

AND NIETHER DID SHE, BUT LOOK WHAT HE HAS BROUHT ON THIS FAMILY!
Highly profiled figure in society and he got busted, he put them in the position they are in now and he new the consequences and he still did it.

Oh damn, we just lost the battle of Trafalgar. Channel Seven found out that Nelson was playing away from home with Lady Hamilton and he got sacked by the Admiralty.:D

Feathering his nest beautifully wasn't he, 2 home units in Potts Point,home in Woonona,nice work if you can get it.Bit like his companion in Parliament from the same area who was sacked for drunken behaviour at an office party,he has fourteen houses ,yes thats right FOURTEEN HOUSES all in different parts of Australia.We're in the wrong game us mugs arent we? :((

Some would say, we get the media we deserve, just like we get the politicians we deserve. (if you don't like it, tune out, or run for parliament yourself, if you think you have the answers)

Great point. An old adage for those who work in local politics "you campaign for a friend but you end up with a politician" I think Peter Garrett is the perfect example of being crushed by the machine.

I don't think I'll comment any more in this thread as the above is too far from the original theme.

You and Calm talk about loyalty in an eterosexual relationship, which does not seem to be the case here. Did Lady Hamilton know about the cabin boys? :D

(Just to entice you to continue this profound, thoughtful interaction of great minds. :D)

WRONG - i don't talk about that at all - what i say is the press has no right to get involved in private family stuff and ruin a blokes life/career because he chooses to go to a gay bar - we have no confirmation of his sexuality - and that is not important either

cheers.
