And I agree with you Andrew, anyone who disagrees with us is an idiot. ;-)<br /><br />I singled Abbott out because the Abbott idiot was trying to shift the blame for the legislation crashing onto the Greens, whereas the Gillard idiot was blaming it on the Abbott idiot.<br /><br />Hope this makes sense. :-(The Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884172849865230486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732615.post-76211761358586547332012-07-16T09:34:33.672+10:002012-07-16T09:34:33.672+10:00You know, normally I agree with (most of) what you...You know, normally I agree with (most of) what you say, but on this occasion I don't. Gillard is an idiot. By proposing the Malaysia solution in the first place, she donated the moral high ground to Abbott, who could (and did) say, with perfect truth: " This is immoral because Malaysia is not a signatory to the CRSR nor the Protocol, but Nauru is. "<br /><br />You claim Abbott could have accepted a compromise on Malaysia + Nauru, but it is equally the case that Gillard could junked the Malaysia processing component of the deal; if she just proferred Nauru Abbott would have signed up, and the Greens would have been sidelined.<br /><br />I do agree that the Greens are not the problem here. We have 5 problems in Australian politics: the Labor Party, the Liberal Party, the National Party, the Greens and the independents.AndrewMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851337124321550115noreply@blogger.com
