It may have been hiper-bowle, but I've forgotten. Wayne K Prawn would know.
Lets start with purjury. As in swearing an oath of office. (or can't we believe Athiests taking an alternative affirmation). Yes, by golly gee, Athiests are good people when it comes to telling the truth.
Maybe you could elaborate on this criminal behaviour

well hell,Frank one didn't realise that it was mandatory to be Christian to tell the truth. I'll have a bet you won't come back and argue with me because you're not that bright and the Racing Prawn has you on the money.Then again ,I could be guilty of 'Hyperbowl'.Actually Frank ,when I think of it,we could engage in real discussion but,as I suspect you, have no real interest in that .

It's not about Christianity, Islam, or any other religion, but an oath of office. If you elect to be an Athiest, then I understand an affirmation carries the eqivalent value. Either way I expect that elected Minister to tell the truth and not lie in spite of the sworn statement.
And yes, you're correct, I couldn't be bothered arguing with you.
The Raw Prawn and yourself have a vote each, exercise that right and lets see how you go next time. In the interim cop the flak that's due to the present incumbants over a multitude of cock-up's, lies and dippy reforms.

Your imaginary invisible friend makes sure you always tell the truth Frank? 
Bewdy, it's always heartning when you hear religous folks talk about how decent they are, gotta love those wacky invisible friends

On the ABC this morning, the presenter was asking people to call/text/email in with birfdaay (sorry... birthday) wishes for Jools, as today is her big 5-oh.
He said he was unable to read out most, and a (vast) majority were anything but complimentary. (One of the more presentable was "Enjoy this birthday in the Lodge, Julia. It'll be your last.")
I thought something along the lines of (in my best Amanda Bishop/Julia voice):
"There will be no birfdaay presents at any party eye holde."

It would appear you dont have to be an Athiest to support the humble 'fib'.

If it became "uncool" (or the government hand out gravy train came to the buffers) to be aboriginal I wonder how many white aboriginals would ditch their claims quick smart.

I've often wondered why we have a separate (and vastly more generous!) welfare system for indigenous types than others, i.e. Australians.
Sounds a bit.....ooooh......what's that word: racist?

Cap'n - that was just an observation leading on from the provocative "convicted racist" comment from the duck above. From Pickiwedia
'Twas merely a reflection on what, I suspect, most non-indigenous Aussies think. Bolt's problem was that he published his thoughts.
Donald's most famous personality trait is his easily provoked and explosive temper. The Duck gets a big kick out of imposing on other people or annoying them, but he immediately loses his temper when the tables are turned. In other words, he can dish it out, but he can't take it
The troops seem to have opened another front in the Sell Julia campaign.
By my (admittedly imperfect) count, we've had:
Hard working immigrant kid Julia
Good secondary school student Julia
Uni Student Activist Julia
Fabian Julia
Atheist Julia
Legal Adviser to unions and crooks Julia
Politician with promise Julia
Marriage wrecker Julia
Never give a straight answer but attack/blame someone else Julia
The obvious choice to be the first female Prime Minister Julia
I am fully supporting the Prime Minister (until I replace him) Julia
I was helping him steer but we've lost our way so I'm taking over Julia
Fake, electioneering Julia
Real (but indistinguishable) electioneering Julia
The Goebbels Award for bareface lying Julia
The "Every Policy I've Introduced has Failed (but its someone else's fault) Julia
The "I know better that anyone else what Australia needs, regardless of what Australians want" Julia
Power at any Price Julia
Unwed and Childless Julia
and, now
(from what I've seen on TV today, sharing her birthday cake with a group of primary school children and being advertised as the guest judge of birthday cakes on an upcoming Junior Masterchef)
"You can trust me with your kids and your country" Julia
Sorry - but the last two just are just too much of a contradiction for me to see her happy snaps with "Australians not of a voting age" as anything other than a cynical attempt to improve her public image.
How long before we see her frolicking with dolphins and cuddling koalas and pandas?
(I'm sure one of the usual suspects will come along to accuse me of mysogeny; but my opinion of Ms Gillard well predates her ascension to Prime Minister and is based on my perception of her character and moral values rather than her gender.)

It's been said before and remains true - "No politician, once in power, will EVER get a better job out of power; so they will do ANYTHING to hold on to that power".

Whilst based at Tabubil I had to off load a local (flight over booked and he was the last booked) from a Twin Otter flight...
He said: You're not treating me like a white man.
I said: Don't play the race card with me
He said: I had to try!!!
He was honest so he travelled a couple of hours later on a diverted flight going to Goroka for its periodic check.

10/10 to this headline editor
You missed "shy girl Julia" Cooda.
You have to give the headline editor commenting on Juliar's birfday in this morning's 'Australian' top marks for this.
Many happy returns. But whose, Julia Gillard's or Kevin Rudd's? | The Australian
Take a look at the 5 year old blonde girl in the picture in the article. Her hand to her head stance is begging for a caption commenting in Krudd's possible return.
Suggestions?
Right thread, Animalclub?
