Advertisement borders on delusion

Senator Deborah O'Neill's advertisement in the Peninsula News on July 11 "We achieved a fantastic result on the Coast and across the country" borders on the delusional.

She was referring to Mr Bill Shorten's pathetic and deceitful campaign in the July2 election.

Two dictionaries and my thesaurus described "fantastic" as "extravagantly fanciful", "Imaginary and wildly unreal".

I will concede further interpretations followed but let us deal with the unequivocal facts which support the initial interpretation of "fantastic".

Labor's primary vote was one of its worst in history.

The deceit and lie upon lie about how the Liberals would privatise Medicare was breathtaking in its dishonesty.

It is beyond belief how anybody who claimed to have a fair and intelligent mind could possibly contemplate having Mr Shorten as our Prime Minister.

Apart from his blatant dishonesty and support for his union mates, who have been exposed by Justice Dyson Heydon as being guilty of corruption and coercion, we have Larry Pickering informing us all about Bill Shorten.

I am certain Mr Pickering would be fully aware of the laws regarding defamation and would not have publicly made any condemnations of Shorten without being certain of the facts.

For more enlightenment on Pickering's expose on Shorten, an examination of his latest publication provides the unvarnished truth about Mr Shorten.

So much for Senator O'Neill and her propaganda.

I notice that Ms Anne Charlton has followed along the same lines.

Finally, anybody who cannot admit that we have fared fundamentally better under Liberal rule than under Labor and socialism has a poor concept of what constitutes good government.
