bullied. and by right i include political parties, certain businesses and certain media. look at mal washer, a rose among thorns. when he dared murmer words to the effect of 'a mining tax might be a good idea', his liberal leader returned that 'mal WILL get the message'. how ominous. arry: iggs boson: 14 Jun 2012 8:07:53pm You are saying that since there is a "difference" in how profits from privatisations are allocated then those where the profits are placed in the Future Fund (Coalition privatisations) are beyond question, and those to bail out a "debt-ridden Labor Mismanaged state" is misgovernment.

As for Greece, yes it is mismanagement
