Comment on Bill Shorten ALP Minister – a most agreeable chap by Scott Brown

Scott Brown — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 02:15:22 +0000

Hey Ric,

Shorten is a nice guy, met him a couple of times and comes across as extremely knowledgeable. He is a supporter of Gillard, and I can tell you now, he is not gunning for the PM…he is under no illusion – it is a step he is not keen to make now. He has gaffed here, but in the course of events, I think it is a minor thing. Considering Abbott’s gaffes, particularly the ‘lying when I speak’ one, it pales even more!

Personally speaking, and believe it or not (!!) I am not aligned to any party…though I do appreciate good government. Whilst this government has had some problems (which government hasn’t, really?!) I see it as one of the most successful of the current era. It has done things I never thought I would be around to see a government do – particularly around environmental issues, and FINALLY installed a fibre network that will make my job a little easier!! Gotta love that! In all, it has been a government I am very comfortable with. The shadow over it, though, is Abbott, and if he were to get in, it would be a very dangerous, divisive and regressive government. We got rid of them in 2007 and we shouldn’t be keen to have one again. Wait for a moderate to get into the LOTO chair, and the Libs will be electable once more.

Cheers,
Scott…

Hi Scott,
Wonderful to hear from you.

There are plenty of issues that grate on me with regards to Tony Abbott. But he’s not running the country. The ALP is. And, our little mate Bill is a big part of the ALP machine.
Although, I have a sneaking position he’s got his eye on Julia Gillard’s office at the moment.

Anyway, you’ve prompted me to make another post to show a comparison between Bill and Tony! Or, perhaps, it’s a similarity. Either way, the ALP and Bill Shorten can score no points on this one, either.

Look forward to coffee with you again soon on one of my Melbourne trips.
Rgds,
Ric

Hi Ric,

I look forward to your critique on Abbott, his fervent use of the word ‘No’, and why he is the most destructive opposition leader since…since…hmmm. At the very least, Shorten understands that the leader of his party speaks for the party…so whatever is said is agreed upon. Would that happen in the Liberal ranks? I don’t think so. With so much tumult inside the party, agreement on a course of action, a policy or even a simple comment would be difficult to attain.

Cheers.

I have never seen so uch bias when it comes to QandA comment being posted or deleted because it does not suit them. How many ABC employees have leanings to the left? 90%?

Comment on You can choose your customers by George Bernath

George Bernath — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 05:08:39 +0000

This article should be called ‘You SHOULD choose your customers’.

You can spot a difficult customer at the outset and you are absolutely right Ric, it then just gets worse, not better.

In my experience, doing business with the ‘right’ customers is not a luxury that you only wish you could afford, it is a necessity. It is better business, it will keep you ‘sane’ and it will reduce your stress levels.

I think it is essential.

Well done Ric, good advice that I fully support.

Regards
George
