    Hmmmmmm…..So why has it been delayed to Friday? Am I the only one or does something smell here? Whats the chances of a late last minute swap back to tomorrow & railroad the SDO through before anyone can turn up? It has been the PLPs MO before.

    Do you trust them?

    The SDO was rammed through Pariament late at night in the middle of the budget debate. Why?

    • Hmmmmm says:

      “rammed through” ?! You people make me laugh. the vote was 21-10; it followed the day’s timed Budget Debate, the debate lasted for quite some time but yet it was “rammed through”. Just what does that mean? Could it be that anything this Government does is “rammed through” so that its illegitimate? If the Senate debates this on Wednesday or Friday it will be in the night time. Will it be “rammed through” if it passes? Just what does that mean to you? And I don’t support the SDO either but when you all mount this kind of crap criticism it makes me think why I’m on your side on this one. back off.

        And there lies the difference between people who can judge issues on their individual merit & those who simply follow because they cannot agree to disagree on an issue.

        The usual protocol during the budget debate is to dicuss nothing but the budget. Any other items to be put on the orger paper wait till after the budget debate.

      • My two cents says:

        The 21-10 doesn’t mean jack. THE PARTY IS FORCED TO VOTE THE WAY THEY ARE TOLD. You have ministers that DID NOT ant to vote for this, but were forced to or loose their jobs. What a great democratic process. The public was not told about this until maybe a couple of weeks before debated. They hid this a long as they could from us.

        • Hmmmmm says:

          So now they need your permission to GOVERN? get a grip. You people don’t realise that you’re talking about a wholesale change to a system that we inherited from England and which they have practiced and imposed since William the Conqueror. I have no problem with changing it but that’s called INDEPENDENCE. Ready for that ? Or, could it be that this Government is not entitled to govern like every other Government in the Commonwealth. You choose.

          • LOL (original) says:

            Infact yes they do every time the public goes to vote…………

            LOL

    “WE ARE AT WAR, THERE’S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!.”

    “WHAT I DON’T KNOW IS WHO THE ENEMY BE!?.”

    “WE SEEM TO BE SPENDING MORE TIME DESTROYING JOHN SWAN THAN THIS DAM SDO!?.”

    POLITICIANS THINK THEY RULE THE PEOPLE AT THE BEHEST OF GOD OR THE QUEEN OR SOMETHING?!.”.

    THEY WANT A GOOD OLD FASHION TONGUE-LASHING!”

    ANYONE OUT THERE AGREE?”

    THIS IS NOT GUANTANAMO BAY, “THIS BERMUDA!>”.

    “STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS.”

    “POLITICIANS ABUSE THEM ALL THE TIME!”

    PEOPLES! SIT DOWN, WIGGLE YOUR FINGERS, WAGGLE YOUR TOES, SEND EVERY SENATOR AN EMAIL.

    “TELL THEM YOU ARE MAD AS HELL AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!”

    Most of US need special development in times.

    IF IT TOO COLD ON FRIDAY, BRING SOME BLACK SEAL RUM AND SOME GINGER BEER MAKE SURE THE RUM IS IN A BROWN BAG. I’M TOLD SOME OF THESE POLITICIANS CAN’T RESIST A DARK AND STORMY.?!>”

    • Are You Well? says:

      You really don’t sound well mate. I think you need some serious special development.

      • Mad Prophet says:

        Henry Ford once said. “If you believe you can do something or you believe you cannot, in either case you are probably right”.

        We all have a conscious and a unconscious mind.

        What ever your conscious mind wants your unconscious mind accepts.

        Your conscious mind refereed to the “Mad Prophet” as “Mate”.

        I’m a stranger… are you not conscious of what you are writing.

  5. Robert Bryce says:

    Sorry for being dumb, but your headline says the protest has been moved to Friday. Please explain. Does this mean the Senate will debate the issue tomorrow (Wednesday) but the protest will be Friday? Why say “protest”? Why not say “rally in support”? Bernews has just shown itself to have taken sides with the PLP Government, hardly surprising really. Bernews is now clearly part of the combined Government.

        S,

        I get paid while I’m eating, sleeping, playing and commenting.

        I can tell by your advice, that you have been brainwashed by some politician.!?”

        If you would pay attention to what is happening here with this SDO.

        “LIBERATE YOURSELF”

        DON’T YOUR PLANTS GROW EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT ATTENDING TO THEM!?”

        Well???? So does the ecosystem!” So learn from the ecosystem!”
