He's more intelligent than dead snapper & that 'ipso facto' makes him more intelligent than most pollies.
1 out of a 100 is a pretty good score card IMO!
(His sources might have been a bit fishy - he's usually quite well schooled - on the day I saw him he filleted Joyce on TV - didn't quite have him hook, line & sinker though but saw through Joyces' lure).
Regardless of his politics he is a very articulate & intelligent man.

I suppose I could have picked a better analogy - but it was just meant to show that not all thought to be intelligent men are good.watt price tully wrote:With due all respect Sq3, that was a dumb analogy.sq3 wrote:WPT - always entitled to your opinion mate - but he really made a huge 'balls up' of the schnapper amnesty and I don't think he will set foot on Qld soil for along while.

Reality doesn't wait for contexts. And reread my post, I wasn't 'accusing' you of anything, except having too much time on your hands (and that was so implicit I didn't see it myself until just now)Pied Piper wrote:Please do me the courtesy of quoting me in context, NPM (and actually read what I wrote, luvdids) before accusing me of being full of anything.

Qantas stares down activists on asylum seeker transportation
https://www.theage.com.au/business/comp ... 53457.html
"Almost a quarter of votes cast by shareholders ahead of Qantas annual general meeting on Friday supported a resolution from the Australian Centre for Corporate Responsibility that called on Qantas to review the "reputational, financial and legal" risks involved in the Department of Home Affairs transporting or deporting asylum seekers on its flights.
...
ACCR director of human rights Dhakshayini Sooriyakumaran told Qantas' AGM in Adelaide on Friday that the company faced rising risks of complicity in human rights abuses and international law breaches.
"The government is outsourcing this risk and therefore the consequences of this risk to its service providers," she said."
