No intelligent politicians? (4 Viewers)

[omnipotent]

I've just been looking at the qualifications of some of our ministers and none of them seem to be that intelligent.
Julia Gillard has an Arts/Law degree
Swanny Lectured studied and lectured in Public administration
Ruddy (ex-minister now) has just an Arts Degree

Ken Henry (secretary to treasury) is probably the most qualified person in our parliamentary system with a Ph.D. in economics

Why do none of our leaders seem to be properly qualified. If there's going to be someone running the country, you'd hope they had at least have a bachelors in economics.

What are your views on this? Are there any other people with qualifications like Henry?

i would be more concerned about the intelligence of the general public

the degree you have is not an indication of intelligence mr hsc guy

??
Doing an arts degree doesn't make you unintelligent
to assume so would make YOU unintelligent

Tony Abbott was a Rhodes Scholar, motherfucker

What kind of scholarship do you have?
FUCK YOU, NOBODY CARES

LOOK AT THIS SHIT
Rhodes Scholarship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it basically requires you to be Einstein, da Vinci and fucking Mike Tyson all in one

What do you do? Study for the fucking HSC? Look what this shit takes:
* literary and fucking scholastic attainments;
* energy to use one's talents to the full, as exemplified by fondness for and success in sports;

how many of those things have YOU got? Think you're smart and good at sports? THINK AGAIN ASSHOLE. You also need this shit:

* truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship;
* moral force of character and instincts to lead, and to take an interest in one's fellow beings.

like holy fuck Tony Abbott could fucking beat superman in an arm wrestle while proving the fucking Riemann hypothesis, I don't know.

It's pretty ironic really. Tony Abbott gets bagged for being this dumbarse idiot when he's probably one of the most intelligent politicians kicking around.

 

[zombie omie jay]

I dont think anyone with half a brain has said that Abbott is unintelligent. Just backwards and socially conservative

 

[Chemical Ali]

he never shows much sign of intelligence compared to someone like a Bob Brown or even a Rudd though

my theory is he's spent over 20 years spewing out bogan-aimed howard style propaganda and forgot how to be teh smrt

 

[zombie omie jay]

ugh bob brown ugh

 

[Chemical Ali]

vote for Brown

 

[zombie omie jay]

never

Replace intelligence with education. The two are not necessarily correlated

Keating had no degree and abbott was a rhodes scholar.

So people think that Ken Henry is in our parliamentry system? Confusing a public servant with a politician.... says a lot about Ken Henry's role of late...

 

[omnipotent]

Well I thought that he was secretary to the Treasury, which I assume is a part of parliament.
Either way. We should get some engineers into parliament, they'll fix shit up!

Before suggesting that engineers take over parliament it might be worth noting what parliament is.... just saying.....

 

[Lukybear]

Yes all the ministers sit at home at night writing up bills word for word, and thinking about ideas that will fix up the country.

Bob Brown, MB BS.
