Shorten embroiled in controversy?

Posted by: 3AW Radio | 26 August, 2010 - 3:07 PM

The premier is refusing to comment on claims federal Labor powerbroker Bill Shorten played a key role in dumping one of the state's most experienced MPs.

Ivanhoe MP Craig Langdon quit yesterday naming Mr Shorten in a letter to John Brumby.

He also blamed the "young, faceless know-it-alls" in the premier's office.

Mr Brumby says there are personal reasons behind Mr Langdon's decision to quit.

Now it's a five-lane carpark?

The Monash freeway The fifth lane of the Monash Freeway should be open by October, according to Roads Minister Tim Pallas. The government has also introduced a new 'code of practice' aimed at easing driver frustration.

  • As far as the election, Lenny is the LAST remaining 'fly in the ointment' that you won't get past. I couldn't give a stuff which party gets elected, as long as they do a good job. The Liberals here/the Repugnants in the US - same bullshit~! Power & control is their sole motivation, and they couldn't give a damn about the electorate, as long as they can eventually screw down worker's rights & increase company profits~! The fact that you put up a 'head kicker' for PM perfectly demonstrates Liberal Party credibility~! Suddenly the Rabbit wants to pursue a 'softly softly' approach in politics after all his years of 'head kicking' & abusive language? Pardon me whilst I vomit~! The Rabbit is an act of desperation, not leadership material. One only has to look at the amount of negative comment you publish from Misery Guts. Benny, if you want to start a war with me, ask the Repugnant Party in the US about what I did to their re-election campaign over 2 years. Ask the CIA about what I personally did to their chances of covering up the rape allegations involving a diplomat? They used their best spin doctors, but he still got convicted~! In this town you struggle to get any significant comment on blogs. Benny, you're out of your depth. Don't go there~! You'll lose~!

  • Politics on this station is an abysmal joke~! This station is nothing more than an extension of Liberal Party propaganda~! Being run by a typical GREED mentality, this station is about getting their Liberal Party mates elected, and looking after their other friends in Industry. Hinchy, you USED to be the one remaining independent, reputable journo, but you've just sold out. Mitchell is just another Liberal Party fanatic. Look at the CRAP that gets published - its generally all anti Labor-bashing negativity, designed to do one thing - get their Liberal Party mates back in power, particularly 'head kicker' Rabbit~! This station's blog has been reduced to nothing more than gutter journalism, about on a par with the old Truth rag, and the Sun daily in the UK. It feeds every psychopathic, xenophobic, racist, intolerant, narrow minded, pessimistic, hateful, ego-driven asshole in the country! The REAL story atm is 20 million people in Pakistan starving to death & being denied basic food & shelter. There will be racists out there who will say - "let them suffer, they are nothing more than potential terrorist!" The problem with that inhumane argument is that it supports extremist terrorists who will step into the vacuum, provide aid, and win over the hearts & minds of young vulnerable people, the potential NEXT generation of terrorists~! 3AW, you want a story - find out what happened to the 5 billion in US humanitarian aid that got siphoned off to other military activities & supporting terrorism~! Sorry I forgot, you don't employ journalists~! What was I thinking~!?!?

  • Bill Shorten is nothing but a two-bid 'snake'!
    The Australian Lemon Party is a most appropriate place for him to hibernate. He fits right in.
    He was an underachiever when he was head of the AWU, did absolutely nothing for members and undercut other unions in a feeble attempt to gain new ones. He's both cunning and very deceptive!
    'Possible future Leader'...? Only the 'Lemon Party'!
    Somebody's idea of a sick joke... maybe his no-good mother in-laws...???
