This clown actually believes his own BS......incredible (or should that be "incredulous bull"?).

Ha, Brownshirts, Nazis, Dictators - this coming from the guy who wanted to smash Bob Brown's face in, when Bob Brown exercised his right to free speech and protest.I think Andrew has bigger anger management issues that K-Fol and that's saying something!

well done kevin...i had been listening and had thought it was a bash fest until that point. Andrew even cut off a supporter but let the baggers stay on! He got a rude shock when you called that's for sure. Stumbling over his words etc. We may not have liked all that's happened over the years but a little bit of respect was desreved for you and mike rann.

Thanks Dirp74 and PAVLOVICH for responding.
If you look around you’ll see I’m not the only one with anger issues. lol.
Despite what Rann and Foley said about minorities I think you’ll find it’s actually the majority of South Australian’s who were peed off with them and that’s why their party got rid of them!
As for the' rude shock' Pavolich talks about... it was more of a pleasant surprise but have to admit it did throw me, for a while but not for long.
Pavolich, a word of advice to you. Have a listen to what Kevin said in our conversation.
For a former treasurer ‘well versed with his portfolio’ he denied cost blowouts of the Adelaide Oval redevelopment and New RAH, got the number of beds wrong on the New RAH and didn’t know how many beds were in the old RAH...
He also misheard my comments, I was comparing their Government to the Nazi Brownshirts of 1935 in the context of the NRM board and their harassment of farmers and water on their property. It was not a personal attack but Foley certainly took it as such.
As for respect. I believe i showed him a lot more than he and Mike Rann have given the South Australian public!

Cont....
That’s my opinion and the great thing is you are more than welcome to disagree with it.
Might have been different if Rann got his way and abolished the upper house though.
Didn’t Adolf abolish all opposition parties after he was elected?
Maybe that was the next step?
Read your history books guys.
George Santayana said "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to fulfill it”.
I’m Australian born but coming from a German family who lived through that era (the rise of Adolph Hitler and World War II) and who have recounted a number of stories to me about events of the time and also having read I believe enough to give me a reasonable understanding of the times I prefer to stay vigilant over politicians agendas to ensure the same does not happen again.
Please note that I say this sincerely, thanks for posting and always feel free to challenge me on any of my opinions either on or off air.

Kind Regards

Hear, Hear, well said indeed Andrew. I was listening when the conversation with Foley took and heard what you said prior to his call. In his inimitable manner he twisted and manipulated what you said in an attempt to substantiate his argument, an argument which was devoid of facts and delivered in his usual "bully boy" way.

Well done Andrew, you spoke on behalf of the majority of South Australians.

Didn't hear the conflab but the way Ranndy Mike & little Kevvy manipulated the media (HMMMM remember Gobbels) most critisisms are on the mark. Keep it up Andrew, don't let them shout you down, the fact that Mrs. Foley's little Kevvy felt compelled to ring you mean you obviously scored adirect hit on a nerve.

Just received through my email:

Four thousand, five hundred Australians have just been censored by the Gillard-Brown regime.

I thought I had seen everything. I thought after all the attacks on freedom of speech I have written to you about before, that nothing could surprise me.

I was wrong.

In a shocking and historically unprecedented suppression of political expression and abuse of democracy, 4,500 Aussies - all opposed to this unnecessary and destructive tax on carbon dioxide - have just been told that they don't count. That their opinions don't matter. That their thoughts are not allowed to be heard.

The background: As you will remember, last month, the Joint Select Committee on Australia's Clean Energy Future Legislation asked for submissions about the carbon dioxide tax legislation. They specifically stated that they "encourage submissions to its inquiry from a wide range of individuals and organisations". There were no terms of reference.

Although they only gave us one week, four thousand five hundred of us took the time to write to the committee. Four thousand five hundred Australians took the time to read the over 1000 page legislation. Four thousand five hundred Australians wrote in depth submissions detailing the flaws in this proposed legislation.

Yesterday we discovered that their work will be surpressed. Will be silenced. Will be censored and stripped from the record without a trace.

by AndrewReimer (23/10/2011)
AndrewReimer

NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT HAS THIS OCCURED.

An Australian Parliamentary Committee has NEVER BEFORE censored submissions to this extent. Nothing has come even close. Ever. There is NO historical precedent for such a mass rejection of submissions.

To rub salt into the wound, the Government was more than happy to accept earlier submissions in favour of the tax that were just two sentences saying, for example, " “I am writing to express my support for the government to legislate to put a price on carbon. I urge the government to move ahead with the Carbon Tax.”

Yet lengthy, in-depth submissions opposing the tax on carbon dioxide have been rejected and stripped from the record.

Julia Gillard and Bob Brown have just officially stuck up their middle finger at us and told us that we don't count.

Don't let them get away with it!

Contact as many newspapers, TV stations, Radio Channels, Bloggers as you can and spread the word! (There is a good list of media contacts here you can start with) - and don't just email! Phone, fax, and write letters to the editor about! We MUST get the word out! Also, forward this to all your family and friends, share this with your facebook friends by clicking here: and then post it on twitter by clicking here:

Do anything you can to spread the word about this disgraceful abuse of democracy and silencing of Australians by the Gillard-Brown Government.

by AndrewReimer (23/10/2011)
AndrewReimer

There is only ONE reason why the Gillard-Brown Government is trying to silence us: they know that we are right and are scared to engage in debate. Let's not let them get away with it.

I have no idea who Mr Andrews is and can therefore not verify the validity of his claims. I will not comment on his opinions either (after all I'll be accused of being a loony left-wing greeny Nazi if I do; monarchist that I am!), but I will comment on your poor taste Mr Reimer. Hailing from Germany, you will be aware of the horrific time under Adolf Hitler, so to compare a government (I don't care which side of the political fence they are) to such a regime is, in my opinion, in poor taste and frankly unprofessional.

Without prejudice.

I await the accusations and abuse, but won't acknowledge it.

Just for your info Paula I’m proud to be a monarchist as well, but please before responding to posts read what is said then google information you aren’t sure about.
Note: I was born here in South Australia to German parents and the Nazi’s were more ‘right wing’ as opposed to “loony left-wing” and I’m pretty sure they weren’t ‘greenies’.

And please don’t write "Without prejudice”, when it’s obvious to all it is.:)

Kind Regards

Should we be surprised that you have no idea who Mr Andrews is? No, we a re well aware how selective you are when it comes to researching issues that rub against your political bent.

He is the recently re-elected president of the Australian Liberal Students' Federation, and the vice-president (policy) of the Young Liberal Movement of Australia (NSW Division).

How easily they forget the accusations against John Howard "Jackboot Johnie" and how he set up those "concerntration camps" for the illegal asylum seekers. As all those posts were deleted in the April cleansing of this forum, I cannot put them up here for all to see, BUT, Paula I remember !!!

As one who was so close to the Liberal Party, I am surprised Paula didn't know that ???

Those saying Andrew was shaken and stumbling ought to listen again with an open mind. He was concise and informed and professional. The Bullying Foley didn't know many of his so-called "facts" and conveniently forgot that he's already previously acknowledged cost "blowouts" on the Oval project, and also acknowledged that he "forgot" some conversations when he was formally told of cost variations (read "blowouts") He also chose to ignore the actual costings to rebuild the RAH, and the fact that a large proportion of our voters want exactly that. His overbearing arrogant attitude is something we can well do without! Good riddance to both Rann and him!

You know I respect you Andrew and place you in high regard but the "Nazi" bit was not a good thing to say. I am sure you didn't mean it literally but I was surprised to hear you say it.

Wow 4 posts in one day from little ole tree hugger me. lol

Hi Mazz, we’ve know each other for a long time. Please go back to context.

Hi Paula, you really don’t know me if you’re waiting for abuse.
I don’t need you to respond, just go back and listen with an open mind to not only what was said, but also take into consideration the context.
I’ll leave it at that and wish you all the best no matter how you perceive my comments.

In defence of Andrew, history said that Hitler started slow but then went on to perform atrocities later on, he started with rounding up the communists then the gypsies then the jews. Don't say you weren't warned

That's fine, Andrew. But my concern was putting your reply to Paula in her space rather than creating a new reply under your own name. If for no other reason it makes it difficult to differentiate where Paula ends and you start.
