She totally lied. I have no idea why she would do that though.
She's a liar and back stabbing bitch... what more do you need to know.
I'm sorry, but it's unacceptable. A little white lie to add to a great big fucking list. As some of you might well know I don't usually give two shits about politics but this is getting ridiculous. She's got to go.
Meh, we're still allowed to call them out for lying in either scenario.
Though I don't know why she had to lie about Carr. Everyone seems happy with the choice.

Well hey, if this is the kind of thing she's going to be lying about, I'd be fine with never hearing the truth from her again.
I'm being facetious, but it's kind of telling about how little everyone else has going on that great news like this is still turned into a "Julia raped my mother and pissed in my cereal" thing.
I don't really like her, but what she did is part of the political process. If you say she has to go, so do 99% of the other politicians. Which I would agree with in principle, but then what?
You can't ignore all the other people that act worse just because she is getting the coverage.
but its not uncommon
it happens in gaming as well you know..........
Game leaks, nope we not working o ntht
2 weeks later, oh wait yes we are
uh yeah.... and then people on this forum always call them out on it lol.
No, but do something constructive and fair. I call them all out, and accept there is not a great deal I can actually do except talk to my friends/co-workers/family etc and try to get them upset about it as well.
Just calling for the persons head, and saying 'She's got to go' is not really useful.
So one hour ago Motorstorm RC said it had 23 minutes left to download. It's done 70mb more and now says 10 minutes.
I started the download last night at home. Fuck this, this is slower than the Wii Shopping Channel.
And that's a piece of shit.

You'll see that in a sentence before that one, I said the list has gotten very long [of lies]. That is my opinion. The fact of the matter is she is the person running our country, and maybe yeah, I expect her to actually be better than most of the other snake politicians running around.
And I'm not ignoring everyone else, would you like me to list them one by one? Doesn't seem reasonable.
Fair enough.
For me personally I just expect her to not be so obvious with her lies. She's the goddamn PM, she should be the best with her lies but she isn't. It's such a bad performance.
I am not a fan of the Vita so far. Not at all.
Apparently though because I'm... well me, I'm not allowed to complain about it.
12 dollar pint! man thats steep. my local does them for 6-7
Senators can be replaced by appointment if one is unable to continue, I believe. It is not a big deal, since they are not voted for directly anyway.

In the grand scheme of things, Gillard lying about this is pretty meaningless. I wouldn't call for her head over it.
But it does give a pretty big insight into the fact that politicians are pathological liars. It's creepy. Why even lie about this? Just say "Yeah we're trying to get Bob Carr. He's a smart guy and we think he'd make a great Senator."
What's the harm in saying that? Why even bother lying? It's just so pointless.
Politics is gross.

Probably just a uni student tax. Maybe they figure anyone drInking this early can afford not to be studying.
I coulda just gone down to Salamanca but wanted to meet with some friends who didn't show up anyway.
Any places around to get some cheap nerf guns? Going to a thing and need a new stampede...

I remember a mate ordering a jug, being told it was more than $10, and he turned around and walked out. And I'm not particularly old.
When a senator resigns (as Mark Arbib did last week) instead of a by election (because a senator represents the state not a small area, so you'd have to have a state wide by election) the party of which he is from gets to pick his replacement. In this case NSW Labor chose to replace Arbib with Carr.

What's wrong with it? I'v never owned a handheld gaming device (other than my phone) before and don't ever really plan on doing so, so I'm not sure what the important criteria are for one.
The senate is the only place where you vote for the party not the person

Firefighters say the smoke above the Sydney CBD is from a kitchen fire on King St. No injuries reported.
also, people going on about Bob Carr its mountain out of mole hill shit.
There are many times due to confidentiality, things can't be discussed openly in public. You think Bob Carr wanted the media on his doorstep haranging him whilst he made his decision
he could have told JG to keep it quiet............
3 years ago Tony said it would be a good idea to tax carbon. Well now......

That's what gets me, I don't see the harm in just being honest.
Bob Carr may have specifically told her not to tell people because he didn't want the media attention....
sheez its not difficult people,
And that would be fair enough, but I would expect Bob to now make a comment about that if that was the case.
Probably just wants to avoid giving in to leaks - even if it is eventually going to turn out to be true. Just confuse the media cycle a bit.
See:
There are very few places in the public eye where a lie is better than 'no comment'.
If it doesn't involve politics I'll be in
Also, evl, a Telstra tech was around again and said if they get called out again and find my Billion modem plugged in I'll get charged a callout fee
Nevermind that that modem is actually working better than their crap Telstra modems.

Hahahaha, That is awesome. Did you tell them it works better than their modems?
Did he say what the problem could be this time around?
Nah I wasn't home at the time. Actually if I knew he was coming I would have switched over anyway so he never knew. Just another thing for them to blame.
They THINK there is some sort of electrical signal interfering with it. I do live right at a set of traffic lights and in front of the SES, but I have no idea if its possible.

In question time you can be compelled to answer a question like that as its seen in the public interest
He was voiced by Peter Serafinowicz. Dude's immortal.
I haven't read this thread at all for the last 24 hours or so. What sales/news/memes/chocrages have I missed?
