Anyway, Wayne Swan posted the photo of himself with Tanya Plibersek and Julia Gillard, but unlike the Environment Minster, he first scrubbed out the background.

That statement sums up the whole sorry event. Wayne was the world's worst treasurer, because in his portfolio he made so many silly and wrong mistakes he had to scrub it all out and start again....still got it wrong!

I was once platinum qantas and virgin. Who cares. I never checked in on Facebook or anything like that. These Labor, Teals and Greens pollies who preach about the environment yet sit in the pointy end and flaunt their freebies in a cost of living crisis.

It wouldnt be so bad if they paid for it themselves and not bludging on the over loaded tax payer .

Brilliant. More of the same behaviour from the do as I say not as I do crowd.

But seriously, with the power of AI digital technology at his disposal it looks like Mr Swann had a preschooler clearcut that photo with a pair of safety scissors.

He used the same preschooler when he was treasurer to do the sums.

Bloody hypocrites all of them . By the way did anyone see the afternoon nine news where the courts have awarded big pay rises for low paid child care and nurses . The actu spokesperson blathered about how good labor are and how if there is a change of government were to threaten this and how elections could change it all . Just a blatant bloody election add for this ramshackle shower that think they are doing a good job , besides which I always thought that the courts made the decision and not the government .

Were you just smirking, John, or was that a great guffaw from you?

A Great Guffaw indeed. Wonderful alliteration - makes it sound very magisterial - The Great Guffaw!

Oops hit reply to early…

Woohoo to Hannah Wootton for the pick-up!!

Labor is duplicitous, but I fear they will govern for another 3 years despite all their ills.

Dutton is like a rabbit caught in the headlights. The Libs have had 3 years to prepare for this but they seem to be shocked that the election is now upon them. Truly unbelievable…

Maybe if we all get behind Dutton and turn the spotlights on Albo, we might change the outcome?

Sadly I think your right. That's because of the feeble right. Call themselves conservatives.
