Even though I am a Conservative I am sick and tired of hearing this crap about service to the nation. Dis Service in selling out Australians that Parliments have done for years. WEF, WHO, The UN. A bunch of globalist stooge sellouts all working toward a one world government with an underlying de population plan.

The fact the Tony Abbott was PM at all is akin to the Yanks electing Trump. WTF? But a good speech all the same and a shame the Libs argued against all Gough did.

Great and touching speech from Tony Abbott.

Bland speech.... from a bland person.

I feel sorry for the hooker! Technically...NOW we may never know the truth of how former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser lost his trousers in a seedy Memphis hotel in 1986. Asked about how he ended up in the lobby of the Admiral Benbow Inn wearing nothing but a shirt and tie and a tiny towel he said at the time: “There’s nothing I can say.” It was all a blank. “I wish I’d never been to bloody Memphis,” he added. Mr Fraser had been guest speaker at the Memphis Country Club and had gone out afterwards to hear the blues in Beale Street and drink at the luxury Peabody Hotel. But sometime after midnight he had signed into the Admiral Benbow Inn as John Jones from Victoria and had paid by belligerently waving a $100 bill.

Picture: Graeme Thomson The next morning he appeared in the lobby wrapped in a small towel and complaining that he had lost his $10,000 Rolex watch, passport, wallet, $600 cash and, of course, his trousers. He told the Memphis Commercial Appeal newspaper he did not report the robbery because: “I had a busy schedule to keep and chances of getting my stuff back seemed pretty remote”. Mr Fraser believed someone had drugged his drink. “I had no sense of balance that day, which I had never experienced before,” he said. Taxi driver Roy Wilson gave the stricken former PM a pair of his own trousers. “Ah never got nothing for them. That man didn’t even say thank you. They was good trousers,” he said later. The unproven suggestion was that the Mr Fraser had been rolled by an attractive woman he met at the Peabody. His wife Tamie told author Susan Mitchell that she believed he had been set up. “He might have gone off with someone here or there at some time but he wouldn’t go to a bar to meet someone on the off chance - they were setting him up. Poor old boy. It’s really horrible. He was so embarrassed.” Former Australian reporter and Sky Business presenter Janine Perrett remembered meeting Fraser in New York shortly after and him telling the taxi driver: “Take me to a dark, smoky, smoochy bar.” Mr Fraser working the bar at Bondi’s Easts Leagues club on the campaign trail Mr Fraser working the bar at Bondi’s Easts Leagues club on the campaign trail “Mr Fraser recalls wanting to have a few beers in Tennessee,” she wrote. “Perhaps he forgot to and drank whiskeys instead, as he did this night in New York.” Conspiracy theories about what happened even extended to Mossad’s involvement because Mr Fraser was wrecking an Israeli arms deal with South Africa. But the more likely story is that Mr Fraser was the victim of a tall Texan blonde with a tattoo above her breast who police reported had pulled the same trick on a number of wealthy Memphis businessmen in the months after Mr Fraser lost his trousers.

Well said Bib ,!!!

I never thought I would ever hear Bob Katter speaking sensibly.

A particularly gracious speech..... why wasn't she chosen as Prime Minister?

Bob Katter is very underrated .... a very honourable Aussie.

Repealing White Australia was a mistake.

Abbott did not deserve the right to Eulogise Gough Whitlam he was a mino by any comparison

A very sincere speech.

Ausminster? Is that the sane as the queen of Australia?

Will be remembered as Fiji most powerful and popular women

I love Tanya Plibersek respectful to Gough Whitlam!x💛🌹💖🌺💞

I dont know with the kind of knowledge and experience that you have my brother,when you will be given a safe seat.

Wayne Swan is said to endure the legacy of Kim Philby and Gough Whitlam.

Securing Australia's future LOL, watch BRexit and see what free trade is about, real smart but what would you expect with two political parties that take their orders from central bankers of Europe and power elites in America. I will keep my innovative ideas to myself just so bureaucrats and government don't get the opportunity to rip me off even more than they currently do!

We need to be able to have access to the full text when the final draft is completed.

Statutes and Acts of Parliament apply to corporate entities not sovereign human beings. The government addresses you by spelling your name in upper case...... learn why that is! Learn contract law and purchase a copy of the Australian Constitution Act 1900. Know your rights! For he who knows not what his rights are- Has none! I am proof that you can expunge all corporate government criminal entities out of your life altogether. Return pissy government benefits back and take back your sovereign rights!

No you have not had a comprehensive hearing, we in Mt Isa heard nothing of the inquiry. I can see just from downloading the recommendations to the House of Representatives and see that the status quo is the order of the day; the MP's & government still fail to address in forcing 50/50 shared custody continually as always arguing means by which fathers should not have equal custody of children, after all, who is going to do the work in the economy if dads were not at work. This system is doomed, I always said that if I loose this house due to the excess of CS fraudulent debt certificates, the country will obviously be in financial distress economically, well I am contemplating walking out of the house and handing the keys to the bank and joining winning side - become a dole bludger, 33yrs work for no gain just government debts. This system is not working for anyone let alone the children. For Sharon Claydon to state it is for the children shows how out of touch with reality she really is, it is not for the children as most of the funds get cyphoned off to social security to cover the bill for all the drug addict, refugees et al. The mothers get basically the equivalent of normal dole payments for number of children, after all, does it cost $500 per week to rare a child in Australia? We all know it is an extortion racket Sharon, just say it as it is, it is theft by law.

Where's question time for today?

Best video ever!

where yesterdays qt??

I attended one of Jared's lectures the other day. He is an incredible teacher!

Unfortunately, as I have viewed the preceding 19 videos all of which are condolence speeches about former Prime Minister, the Right Honourable John Malcolm Fraser, AC, CH, I noticed all have used Google's auto-generated captions, which ruin the speeches for anyone, who relies on correct captioning to understand what we all hear. Not only do these auto-generated captions distort the genuine speeches of the parliamentarians but the fail to allow fair access for the deaf, hearing-impaired and folk for whom English is their second language. The government's Media Accessibility Guidelines required correct captioning by 2012. Surely the Hansard records could, at least, be uploaded as a caption file and Google's distorted captions blocked, thus providing fair access for all. Lyn Lockrey

Fantastic that Steve Irons has taking in so much in such a short time in understanding the intricate nature of hepatitis C. I was just a little disappointed that he didn't seem to have taken note of the large amount of baby boomers who experimented with drugs early in their young lives and are now dying from this disease, a disease not heard of in the the early years.. For some many people the current medications do not work or are not able to be given. These people are dying and in need of liver transplants. New livers are then destroyed by the virus. The only hope for myself and many others is these medications that are available in most other countries. America, Fiji, Korea India but in Australia people are dying because the government and the drug companies can't come to a decision that will be put these medications on the market and make them available to people who need them before the damage that is done is irreversible. .I have spent the last few years fighting cancer and without the new medications would die from liver disease in the next few years. Luckily a drug company has come to my aid and I have been given compassionate access to there medication. I'm very grateful and hopefully now have a ice to look forward to . I just wish this could be possible for everyone.

I hope you don't mind if we post this on our Facebook page.

A very moving and magnificent tribute to Gough Whitlam.

Thank you for doing this! From my experience the CSA is in the best interest of a child as long as it is for the mother's. I have great dentist story to prove it and it is on a record with CSA!

Christopher Pyne cannot even begin to consider filling the Great Man's shoes.

A genuine condolence by a genuine man. Well done.

Great speech.

beautiful well done tanya. i was in tears by the end :(

I've watched and listened to all place-getters and came to an opinion Jared is very unlucky not to be the winner.
