New scam

[Montynut]

All politicians are the same, will say whatever it takes to get into power then once their snout gets in the trough they do whatever they feel like knowing they've got a minimum of 3years to make as much on the side as possible

That is true to a point
Hawke, Keating, Howard were all Politicians that generally kept their word and always, if you agreed or not, worked along their parties basic beliefs and seemed to be trying to do the right thing for Australia. I personally did not like Keating or his policies in many instance but I did not ever feel that he was incompetent, a criminal or wanted to damage Australia.

The current Federal Government display all three virtually 100% of the time. From the very first actions in 2007 to the current debacle they have combined the above three characteristics to new heights. They have even surpassed the Whitlam years. In 2007 Australia elected a gimmick – Kevin 07- there was no substance. Whitlam was elected on a gimmick – It’s time –

The current Government have even glossed over Whitlam’s period and he is now portrayed as the great Labor leader and a confidant for Gillard. WTF he was the leader of a disgraced and sacked Government yet this current mob defer to his guidance.

This is headed for the dungeon

We currently have the worst opposition in Government this country has ever seen.
I know this because we have the worst Government we have ever seen and yet the people are still reluctant to turn to the opposition.

It's kinda ironic that today Malcolm Fraser and Gough are on a similar wave length. In a great interview on ABC radio a year or so ago Fraser said that he believed that Whitlam was a brilliant ideas man who did some very good things for Australia but was let down by the 'back room boys' and his blinkered faith in them even when a major mistake had been made..(the loans affair). The Whitlam era wasn't as bad as the spin of the time sold it. That's why EGW is today seen by historians as a progressive hero in Australian history and Malcolm Fraser is almost forgotten.......

My apologies for removing portions of this post....I just don't want to get into a slanging match over two forgettable political leaders (Gillard/Abbott). Piss Poor leaders and policies  on both sides.

Governments and scams....Don't they go so nicely together

Montenut: you are spot on.
Elsinoreyz: any comments said by me about joe bp are sincere and i think for the times that were, he got the job done.
I can honestly say that if i did my job to such a crap extent as gillard has then i really would not be putting my hand up for a new contract. i know people who have voted labour all of thier life and cannot believe that gillard stands there with her head high really trying to convince us that she has don a good job. Crazy

These scammers are among the biggest C**** around. Even more so when you see them use the story of a genuine, decent couple who it seems have had their generous deed exploited by scores of internet scumbag types.

Poor Mrs Large currently fighting cancer is obviously a good person - lets hope she gets cured to live out here life and anyone connected with exploiting them becomes a victim of something far more sinister.

The world has too many Arseholes !!!

Just had a pretty good paypal one where they claim that a payment was made to the wrong person on an ebay purchase.  It looked real good, I actually checked into my paypal account to make sure the payment wasn't made.

The Paypal email scam is getting more refined. The idea is that you are notified that an unauthorised payment, a smallish amount, has been made on your account and you should log in via the supplied link to check the transaction out. This isn't new but they are adding a local buyer and item number now. The 'Paypal' page looks pretty good as well.....apart from the spelling of February being wrong.
