  I agree.
  
  Quality stuff - pity more politicians don't have the guts to represent the people who elect them.

  Well she doesn't represent my views. But anyway at least on this site, why don't we stick to what unites us - the blue and gold!

  Agree Snake. Unfortunately with Pauline, she is just smart enough to start the discussion but not smart enough to have the discussion. I just heard her on Ben Fordham and after listening to her I couldn't understand exactly what point she was trying to make today. She kept jumping back and forth from security to womens rights. But i hear that she cooks a maen fish.
