Comments on: Joyce vs Coonan http://www.redrag.net/2005/04/26/joyce-coonan/ "The thinking Laborite would as lief be found in bed with a cobra as in a committee room armed with 'arguments' from the Tory press." --- Truth, Perth, 19 June 1915. Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:29:18 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: William Wallace http://www.redrag.net/2005/04/26/joyce-coonan/comment-page-1/#comment-10335 William Wallace Sun, 21 Aug 2005 11:45:28 +0000 http://www.redrag.net/2005/04/26/joyce-coonan/#comment-10335 Thank God for the arrival in the Senate of an honest man new Sen. Barnaby Joyce. It's about time someone reminded John Howard that his Government is supposed to work for the benefit of the whole nation rather than install a non-accountable government addicted to a greed-driven economic ideology of Privatisation which generally only serves the interest of foriegn owned big business and their cohorts. John Howard should understand that Australia really does not need the Singapore Government owning Telstra as well as Optus. And that with some 80% (by volume of trade) of the domestic economy now being controlled by foriegn owned entities we have the economic profile more of a 3rd world nation than that of a developed state. Pity our Grandchildren if good men like Barnaby Joyce fail to halt the nations slide into oblivion! Thank God for the arrival in the Senate of an honest man new Sen. Barnaby Joyce.

His description of the libs as "they all look as if they think they've got something special in their lunch boxes" is spot on. And I love the way he told Anderson in reply that the Nats were getting heavied by the libs, and that Anderson was expected to represent the nats. tee hee. Barnaby Joyce is my hero.
