Thought for Today

So with Gough W was he sacked by the GG ? Can Scomo's side vote of no confidence get him out?

Gough W was sacked as the prime minister, not as a politician, the Liberal/country party took office and immediately change the law so it couldn't happen to them .......

But that was the 70's. Who can really remember what was going on back then. Times were a bit different then.
As T1 said- everyone was a bit more laid back then, for various reasons.

What was his words in church.....DON'T TRUST GOVERNMENTS Just another untrusted politician on the long list.(scumbag)

and, wasn't he the government?

[2foot6]

Yes he was but I'm starting to think he is/was in the same camp as Puton and Trump.

[supersparky]

Peter, I think that is sad, but very true. The worst part is, they are supposed to be an elected representative of the people.

What ever happened to the honest polly like the people here on this forum? Someone you can trust and who has other peoples interest at heart and under control. ...Just in case you haven't noticed I don't like pollies.

Just remember that 63 members of the sitting Liberal party are members of the Hillsong Church.

I'm with you Lesley .....................

Gee, that's a bit of a cop out Bruce.
I thought that some of the rusted on Liberal voters may have had something to say in his defence. But the silence has been deafening.
I have been a swinging voter all my life, but there isn't really much you could say in Scomo's defence.
I'm surprised really, if those stats about Hillsong are correct, that so many of our pollies are members of that church.

But.... he did definitely say that it wasn't his job to put out fires. I guess there wasn't a Ministry of Fires.

He also said "I don't hold a hose'" so he won't be holding the hose to put out the current fire surrounding him.
