ReplyRooster, you are a sook! Janet Albrechtsen says Gillard has only managed to turn the PM's office from "that of pm to that of female pm". Feminists lose it for me when they say "women and men are the same" then in the next breath they say " they bring something different to the table". At the risk of sound misogynistic about misandrists, that's illogical, you can't have it both ways
4 RepliesWhat a shame the Government won't initiate an investigation into western infidelity. Divorce rates would increase from the present disgusting rate of fifty percent well into the nervous nineties. Kindest regards Areel
ReplyA HUGE congratulations to team Labor for initiating this mass clean up of cheats and liars throughout the country. Ms Gillad has already swept through the lies of Mr Abbott with infinite ease , now for the rest of the sporting cheats ! Ms Gillards focus is clearly about cleanliness and purity not only with this investigation but as evidenced by our amazing atmosphere post July 1st 2012. Kindest regards Areel
