Howard insists no leadership deal done Costello bombshell on PM 'deal' No contradiction in Costello claim: PM Interesting. Edit: From what I have read, Mr Howard's words (as recounted by Mr Costello) were deliberately ambiguous and as such he's not exactly lying when he says that there...

If something on this forum offends you, then you would be best to either report it to a mod or step back and actually think about the issue at hand and ask yourself whether is it truly offensive or whether you are just being childish. Responding to something or other with an abusive remark is...

*bump* Government lied to US senate: Labor

Battle resumes as sackings confirmed legal

Ah, this may just be me, but I think that it has something to do with the fact that such debates are to be expected (and welcomed, by and large) within a sub-forum dedicated to discussions concerned with current affairs and politics.

Maybe it has something to do with neo_o's sense of humour? I know that I laughed.

So I take it that you are one of those who is of the opinion that every instance of advocacy on behalf of a student must involve a sign, a sit in or a rampage through the city? You're quite the ideologue, Jonathan. David Clarke and Tony Abbott would be proud. It isn't just a matter of a...

1. As robo-andie said, there is absolutely no need for personal attacks (from anyone). 2. If you are allowed to post your opinion (within reason), then why can't others question what you have to say? Do you think that you are posting in a vacuum?

No need for you to be sorry, I was the one who couldn't help but think that your intent may have been to annoy. For that, I am sorry.

Captain, given that I cannot tell whether you are trolling for a response or posting a piece of political satire, this thread has been moved to this part of the NCAP forum. However, if, by some chance, it happens to be a serious thread, please let me know.

Ah, no, Captain. Infanticide is the practice of killing newborn babies.

Employees rush to sign AWAs Workplace Minister tries to offset horror stories One minute the Government supports its reforms by referring to the AWAs of old, and the next it actually admits (well, openly implies) that people under AWAs need not be better off than those currently covered by...

So a democratically elected President who operates within a system of numerous checks and balances is just as bad as those who effectively act at their own discretion? No matter how questionable the US President's global programme may be, surely you can't be suggesting that he is just as...

You're thinking of the swinging voters who actually have some money, a mortgage and kids.

Legal, academic and welfare services provided by the student organisations are stupid, are they? I know that a number of people consider the value of such services to be marginal, but I think that it's taking it to an extreme to say that they are stupid.

Yes, lala, it's only fair that China, and to a lesser extent Russia, be given the exclusive right to influence North Korean policy!

Personally, I'm willing to excuse Henry's 'dive' - he did go down quite easily, but he was impeded by defender and, unlike Ronaldo and Postiga, his fall was designed to milk an actual challenge for all that it was worth. Still, it's a shame that the match could not be won, by either side, by...

They're at it again - Democrats facing another political problem. Though he isn't exactly a well known figure (name one Senator, excluding Barnaby Joyce, who is, though), Senator Murray has long been one of the more reasonable and effective Senators. It's a shame that he will not be standing...

The trolling stops now. You have all been warned. If you're going to discuss the issue, then please do so in a constructive manner.

Bloody hell, now we'll have to be a tad more presentable than normal when we rock up to finalise our enrolment. Still, this development is long overdue.
