Comments on: Iguanagate II: the return of Della Bosca http://www.crikey.com.au/2008/08/19/iguanagate-ii-the-return-of-della-bosca/ now with extra source Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:58:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael http://www.crikey.com.au/2008/08/19/iguanagate-ii-the-return-of-della-bosca/#comment-12915 Michael Thu, 01 Jan 1970 10:00:00 +0000 #comment-12915 Perhaps you could do a more thorough job in investigating the media's despicable role in the Della Bosca /Neal affair Alex Mitchell rather than reporting the same rubbish that appears in the tabloids today. Everything you say is correct although you haven't sheeted home blame for the disastrous state of NSW hospitals where it truly belongs-the vile John Hatzistergos who as AG looks like reducing citizens rights to the stuff-up job he did on our hospitals. But why are we reading this stuff in the afternoons on crikey ?.<br /><br />This was a hack and reptiles led attack upon the hapless political Woy Woy pair who did them over like a dog's dinner yet many of us already knew and have ben predicting all along what the result would be . As for O'Farrell-he has already shown he is not fit for office after his silent acceptance of the dreadful "annoyance" laws and although he won't face Iemma at the next election he also will never become premier. If the State Liberals had half a brain they would replace O'Farrell with someone young and dynamic ( if such a person exists in that party) but they won't. <br /><br />Instead Labor will nip them in the bud and once again NSW will return Labor. All because we have a media who mis-directs the story down wrong roads like the Iguana beat-up.

The opposition comes from a minority rump. More a whimper than a bang.

Sooo ... this means no ventilation stacks for marginal Marrickville or backlash in up market Balmain, the prospect of which must have increased the kitten population in both the Carmel and son Nathan Tebbutt, and/or Verity Firth, Households. In other words Tebbutt can now return to Cabinet safe in the knowledge taking her bat and ball and refusing to play in the polls has worked to spare her constituents (?). <br /><br />Sooo .... Della may have some competition going back, as may Meagher. <br /><br />Stateline had a ferocious out take last Friday of Reba at a pic fac with Iemma saying 'this is cutting edge brain surgery without the cut' or something like that. Stateline having run hard on a teenager who died from non life threatening head injury due to negligent health system for last 12 months. That out take was a declaration of war if you ask me, Ch9 spinners regardless. Another thing Alex - back on Aug 11, Monday after the O-Limp-pr*cks kicked off the Daily Telegaph slipped out a little story that the (my words) ‘tsecret $5B tunnel under Marrickville’ was now going to be much further south as an M5 x2.

get people to change their story which morally if not legally
is very serious stuff.
Once again it is the blind arrogance and superiority complex
that got Della Bosco and his mate into the hole that they
are having trouble digging themselves out of.
It is not an ALP issue alone because politicians from
both of the major parties are prone to abuse their position
and display arrogance and deceit when they try to cover their
political backsides. Instead of trying to point score
maybe the respective Federal and NSW governments
and oppositions might hold a symposium to work out what it is that makes
politicians display such ugly and unbridled arrogance
and in some instances attempt to lie and cheat their way out of trouble
instead of admitting they are wrong and taking it on the chin.
Why can’t the declaration of war on arrogance, spin and deceit
in politics gain bipartisan support. Why are these blights
a mere political football to be kicked around until the ball bursts.

As both the Education Minister and Minister responsible for work place safety. His Ministry ignored the photos of school children being escorted by parents and grand parents down the middle of Alma Avenue Woy Woy because compliance with Australian Road Rules and the Local Government Act is optional for so called friends of Gosford City Council. And the footpaths were being used for commercial purposes. The Ministerial Code of Conduct is part of codified law in NSW pursuant to sections 8 and 9 of the ICAC Act. Yet it is being used as a door mat by Labor. <br /><br /><br /> John Della Bosca a Woy Woy Local has a history of ignoring the dangers local school children experienced while dodging illegal business activity in Alma Avenue Woy Woy.
