    I guess with the remaining few here on the forum think, this is just too hard to handle.

    Do please remember, I do not like Wong, I make no secret. I state she is Shorten rubbish and not just because she IS a bully. She also has no conviction of which I already have stated.

    Albanese, made his first moment in leadership was to union thuggery.

    What a load of rubbish. Labor has continue to demand for investigations and enquiries into Coalition issues but as soon as the shoe hits the other foot, "oh there was no complaint so I don't have to do anything..."

    Lucky murders are investigated before complaint; otherwise it would be a free for all. Anyway back on topic.

    Me thinks, Albanese has his priorities crossed.

    Do these people even know what bullying is??? just to point out, Wong makes insult for what purpose??? Isn't that to stop Kitcking??? In case you did not know, that is the very definition and to try asserting that it is just robust debate is an insult to the intelligence of every man, woman and child... We have this here on this forum all the time, when one runs out of rebuttal all they do is insult. Labor friends had also raised these concerns with Party leadership which was obviously why her preselection was put off over 8 months among other things.

    Clearly that behaviour is to try distracting and intimidating to silence so the bullies can carry on…

    No, I had thought this was a decent leader that may be worth trying out. Turns out it was all just for political expediency and that this one is no better than Shorten. That is they don't care about the corpses or corruption that gets them the job, just that they get it...
    Obviously, happy to embrace bullies, criminals and corruption to get the job. How can they be believed on any issue.

    Garry,
    are you not liking Wong because she is Asian or gay, or what is the real reason?
    And I see you are still hating Labor, so nothing new on that front.....
    I have missed you a lot,
    Cats

    Has her death been attributed to bullying?

    Anyone who is buying the completely one sided 'poor Kimberly was bullied to death' narrative being pushed by some of her friends/factional allies is either too ignorant to discuss the topic or is pushing a narrative. There is no third option.

    Kitching was an impressive peson in some respects and a less than admirable one in others. She fought union & ALP factional battles as hard as anyone. None of this has been properly represented in the most high profile accounts, though the truth is easy enogh to find if you look.

    Her death was a tragedy. Using it for political ends is the realm of the gutter crawler.

    Sorry, For your racism and bigotry slant but the real reason I dislike Wong is precisely because she is a bully without conviction. Simple as that.

    As for hating Labor. No, you miss there too. Albanese, was looking good until this.

    So, basically, your offering nothing but attempts to subvert the thread. Nothing new there...

    I think some are but Personally, that is a long bow to draw. I just believe if you intend to address it for the people you need to address the culture from the top.

    Bullying is not what you simply wish it to be. You might not think at the time you bully individuals, but that is what you are doing YES.

    You can justify any behaviour to yourself and your friends and acquaintances and feel supported by their response.

    You might from these definitions that bullying consists of constant types of actions. You would be mistaken…

    But hey,” what would I know” eh???

    It's a lot harder when the claimed victim is no longer with us.

    Nobody has a right to like everything people say to you, if it was physical abuse take them to court, otherwise I can't see much that should be done.

    I say that as someone who also despises Penny Wong.

    I would agree, but as somebody who has witnessed the results of bullying, I do believe it has to be addressed. If it had been just one thing or two, it could be put down to simple stupid exuberance. BUT insults in public with the “I withdraw” which amounts to just insults, Cut from meetings and committees justified as being disloyal, even to the point of holding up preselection for her seat for eight months and telling her that they intend to cut her… the party culture needs to be addressed.


    I am not calling for an axe to cut the weeds. BUT I do believe the culture has to be abolished. It needs investigation AND it needs to be addressed. We see multi-million dollar campaign to raise respect level of the common people yet the politicians run riot with apparent commendations from their leaders.


    I would call for Wong’s head on a platter, but unfortunately she Is not the worst of them, as more comes to the floor all round.

    I'm looking forward to the OP providing us wiht a nice long post addressing Concetta Fiervanti-Wells' repeated allegations of bullying within the LNP and her allegations that PM Scott Morrison is among those doing the bullying. One set of those allegations is several days old, the other about 24 hours, so I'll assume the delay is purely for research purposes.

    I mean, if this thread really is about bullying rather than just to fling poo at the ALP then a nice long post with links to the multiple allegations of bullying in the LNP would be the appropriate response, wouldn't it?

    I was wondering when somebody would bring this forward. It is a shame that all wait with baited breath to hear from one person, rather than bring your own opinion.

    I have to say I am in two minds here with the LNP. That is because Fiervanti-Wells allegations seem to be from disenchantment. On the basis I would consider it exempt as the assertions go forward as personal attack into over the top allegations…


    As for Lambi and her claims, she is like the Greens. Shock and awe at every chance…

    However, I do believe this also falls into the category of need for investigation as personally I believe many of the allegations are true. There are several points that support my belief that Morrison and his leadership should be investigated but they really have little direct relevance to this issue here.

    Morrison has so much wrong now it isn’t funny, the problem now is both sides seem to be very much on the nose. Albanese because it would seem he is happy to accept support from dubious sectors to gain the leadership. Morrison because he has serious problems with his leadership culture.

    I honestly believe Morrison should go but that again is just the person. At this point I believe he needs to be sacked by his party.

    However, Fiervanti-Wells is alive and able to act and (as far as I am aware) this is the first mention of any her allegations. Regardless of what evidence she has, what acts she believes. I would support her to lodge formal grievance without the personal attacks and I hope she does…
