    Stupid insults adult -- 20/08/09

    It doesn't matter if it was meant to be a threat or not, it's still a stupid, childish and completely unecessary remark. It's about time politicians started acting like adults instead of 4-year old children squabbling in a sandpit.

    I would not get away with a remark like that in my workplace, whether it was made to a woman or a man.

    The leader of the House summed it all up, so why the comments about 4 year olds, or i would not get away with that at work

    Schwarten is a disgrace. Anonymous -- 20/08/09

    Schwarten shows contempt of the Local ICT industry, and his parliamentary colleagues.

    His arrogance is well on the way to destroying what could be world leading ICT industry in QLD.

    But Bligh is too in debt to the ALP factions to get rid of him.

    skin deep insults Anonymous -- 20/08/09 (in reply to #320231428)

    I believe that the statement " Get a Life" is even used in our schools by children.

    How any body can take insult at that means that person must be very thin skinned.

    The minister himself appears to know little about ICT. He should stick to bricks and mortar.

    Get people with an understanding of ICT Anonymous -- 21/08/09

    Both the Gov and Opposition need to get people in the portfolio that understand ICT.

    The local industry is being suffocated by Qld Gov and the Opposition doesn't seem to be interested or just don't get it either.

    Linked Articles Anonymous -- 21/08/09

    These two articles need to be linked, he treats everyone like this, including the entire QLD ICT industry. Time to sack him Bligh.
