Ot- qantas

[Quigs]

Joycey sorted out Qantas. He got a pay rise. Stock value will increase. Qantas will be able to compete.
Everything passes the common sense test.
Rupert is still worth a fortune. New paper strarting up. Confidence returning to his empire & the 4 people Quigs is mentioning were actually handed over to the Authorities by News Corp.
Agaibn, the common sense test is passed.

Ohhh Really.

 

[Frenzy.]

It's a room for independent think tankers to discuss things other than a boring offseason.

And friends of the IPA, The istitute of Public Affairs can express their ongoing support for the reforms of Prime Minister Gillard.

Independent huh?

LOL LOL

I declare the whole thread and everyone in it a mass infraction!

Every poster is sentenced to go to the filthy Stains forum and post a tribute to Da Soup!

Seriously

 

[Quigs]

the power has gone to your head. I openly reject your sentence within this thread.

I am now a member of the syrian free army.

Wow Reefy where did you hear that....

Let me guess, the Papers and the Bimboes on TV.

If you believe the Polls then maybe you might like to do a little study of them..

Hope you are enjoying your high interest rates... remember floppy Joe Hockey said they would never be lower then when a Lib Gov is in office.

Another great day in depressed Australia.
The countdowns are well under way.
Countdown 1 the end of Juliar
Countdown 2 Wall to wall coalition across Australia.

Good times.

I'm still laughing at her rolling over on Wilkie

[Quigs]

I've just been informed by unnamed sources, and a few insiders, growing number of unnamed lab backbenchers, unnamed caucus members, unnamed ministerial staffers and three unnamed ministers that .......

all is well and its steady as she goes.

Record low interest rates, (remember interest rates will never be lower than what the Noalition can deliver ... KFC Hockey promised us that) and another rate drop next month or so.

Pensioners to get their payrise soon ($250 bonus)

Yep but what about the Polls, what about the Polls. 18months out +5 goodguys and -5 Noalition over the past three months.

Its a melbourne cup race ... not 1000mt sprint. Crikey we haven't even looked for the whip yet.

Spide, you're not Michelle Gratten are you ?

 

[spider]

No mate, I'm not - you can vouch for that.

But your stance on interest rates is swiss cheese captain. Even those with no economic back ground understand our rates are not low as a result of australian federal fiscal management.

Rates were high under a coalition govt due to growth.

 

[Quigs]

Ohhhhhhhh

OI!!

I'm the only capt' in here buddy.

 

[Quigs]

Did Spides info come from an unnamed source?

Its alright Capt' the tory mob can spin anything around to suit their needs.

I'll probably read it in the Telecrap next... so it might be true.
