Never been to one, can't be bothered, never found the time, not drunk enough or in the company to end up at one. Who knows I am no wouser but could easily see the situation Rudd ended up in. Really who cares it's not a big deal, it's just between Rudd and his family and whoever floated this story should be help up for the muck raking scum:~ they really are.

Come on, he went out with a northern territory poli, a journalist and a union official. I would be surprised if it didn't end up in a strip club......

When I first moved to SinCity my first girlfriend was a bunny from the Bunny Club up the Cross.
I lived with a prostitute when I was 17 and used to make a good living selling paintings to the working girls in the Valley while I was still going to school.
So yeh, Ive been to a strip club.:) This was a former life mind you.:-

Never been in one, don't find them at all attractive. Haven't met anyone that does that I would want to meet again.
I am a wowser, but being in a strip club doesn't make a bloke unfit for office.
Having said that, a politician is on the job 24 hours a day, and a certain standard of behaviour (impeccable) is required while on duty, particularly when the politician is a senior one representing ME and MY COUNTRY!
Being too Pizzed to remember what happened would get any one of the rest of us fired! If the incident happened as reported (and KR admits being out of it), and he was a footballer, he'd be suspended at least. If he was the CEO of a public company, he'd be lucky to still have his job.
As for muck raking scum, why did they cover it up for this long???
My thoughts on the press are well known, but don't we have a right to know? :rolleyes:

Have you ever been in either of those states while on duty though?
Frazer wasn't in office. Rudd WAS. He was the opposition spokesman on foreign affairs. Maybe he doesn't actually speak Chinese, maybe the seppoes just thought he was! :D
Heaven forbid if he gets pie eyed and decides to invade New Zealand for a lark! It'd be ok, he'd apologise and tell us he couldn't remember a thing.

Lets look at this a different way even though this happened in 2003/4
1 He is at the time a Government employee on government business for the taxpayers of Australia.
2 It is a breach of government work policy for any employee to have consumed alchohol at work or during work related matters. He was at work even if OS.
3 If this was a normal employee he would have been either sacked or downgraded and reprimanded, like recent Telstra staff also government employee's
4 John Howard imbibes enjoys his beer also at your/our expense he also is breaching employee regualtions as do ALL politicians who consume alcohol at work. Something no worker is allowed to do for fear of casuing and making choices which may cause an injury or kill.
As for christians and grog gee's Christ turned water into wine (imagnine drinking water from back then like drinking out of the tank stream when the colony was started).
Communion is taken with wine, Christ drank wine recall the last supper.
Monks Nun's and Priest's are some of the worlds greatest makers of spirits (not the holy kind)
Look at all the religous orders world wide who have clubs Catholic Clubs, Protestant, Muslim ,Buhdist's and many others.

Many years ago I sold my half share of a business to six of my guys.
They decided to take me to lunch at a Gold Coast "table dancing club".
Being a completely disinterested self confessed wowser, and very busy, by (soon to be ex) partner and I, gave the blokes some dough, and told them to enjoy themselves, but we really had a lot to do, so have one for us.
The following day, they all arrived looking quite sheepish.
I wondered why, and asked how lunch went. "it was very crude" said one, at which I couldn't help but laugh out loud. How is it that one could go to a place where naked shielas danced on your table, and expect it to be genteel and refined?
Personally, I'd rather not have dandruff in my steak! :p

Certainly the public has an expectation of politicians to uphold certain standards, but unless you advocate total prohibition, and baning strip clubs altogether, then he wasn't breaking any laws.
So long as he hasn't made a habit of it, then he was just being an average Australian bloke who'd had a few too many at the time.

How many times have off-field "antics" got the into strife. How much more is Shane Warne remembered for reckless handling of a SIM card? (If he'd been Indian he'd have been deported for that.)
With some jobs, comes an OBLIGATION to behave in a particular manner. Representing your country, whether in opposition or not, is one of those jobs. KR let us down. Maybe he could end up as our next John Kerr?

I went to one many many years ago and having bought the hostess six vodkas with orange, I observed she wasn't getting as drunk as me, so while she was absent, I tasted her drink and found it was just orange juice. So I went up to the bar and asked for the six shots of vodka to be put in the glass. The barman obliged stating "he must have forgot". The hostess skulled the glass and nearly choked. I ended up very soon after, mysteriously, at the bottom of the stairs. When I finally found my car, I noticed the headlights were still on. Say no more.

big deal,
the bloke got and looked at a naked tart. ever wonder why ? he was probably trying to butter up (or suck up) to some other imbicile and decided to try the "common man" approach... who cares!!!!
The question that should be asked is: will this affect his ability to run the country should he become elected. Common sense says no, many pissheads have been heads of many states....
bugger what the bible sez re sin, we all know it was written by a bunch of dudes in ancient times who's prime drivers were/still are "how can we oppress the masses into subservience via a mechanism of us pretinding to be the imaginary friend's earthborne spokesman? Ahh.... lets write a bunch of contentious and confusing mishmash and say he upstairs wrote it"
If god wants us to believe he should provide every generation with a genuine miracle, and I dont mean the bunnies winning the GF this year but rather something irrefutable, lets say something like making the pope fly on international tv or hanging all terrorists by the left testicle in St Peters cathedral, or if u like parting the red sea for a month, or even popping into our direct conciosunesses and saying, "hey Midge, this is GOD Speaking... are you listening ?"

(If he'd been Indian he'd have been deported for that.)Perhaps in the court of public opinion, but so long as he's broken no laws, it should have no bearing on his selection as a cricketer. I for one am glad that we don't live with the archaic standards that pervade some other countries.

For mine, it just takes the edge off an otherwise undesirable trait.

My question is "when does someone like KR get off duty?" lets be honest he has the paparazzi after him 24/7 now at least until the election and then potentially for years unless he does a Johnny and gets so boring that no one is interested in his personal life. But it comes with the territiory. Bad luck fella, this is Australia, stick your poppy head up and kaboom......
As for did he do something wrong, that depends whether he inhaled or not, we will never know, there will be lies and spin all around. Im not moral enough to make a judgement, Im not sure that his opponents are either. What it does do is divert the media for a while,

Never been to a strip club and never really been tempted to do so, no matter how pi55ed i was at the time.
Isn't that part of the deal with booze - if you can't trust yourself not to do silly things when you drink, then you have to moderate your drinking. It's an individual decision for which you have to take individual responsibility.
The issue for KR is that:
his generally abstemious attitude to drink probably shows that he knows that he does silly things if he overdoes it, we all now know that he has a problem and may not act in character when he drinks
he has shown us that, even if he has resolved to avoid drink, he can lapse
we have to vote on the guy we are presented with - if he has a known disability when pi55ed, he needs to convince us that this was a slip from which he learned, otherwise how do we know that he won't do some off-duty drinking and then make some bad decisions that will affect us?

I'd be worried if there was a habit of getting drunk but as a one off, who gives a rats.
Had Shane Warne just had a couple of incidents over his time as a cricketer, it would have not been a problem. Warnie made a bit of a habit of it and it cost him the captaincy. Punter had a few incidents with alcohol before he was captain but said he had a problem and got better.

Midge, why do you want to invade NZ.:? Isn't it ours already?
That's why I don't drink: in case I get the urge!
On a non-Kevvie note, another observation (standing on my holier than though soapbox) is that the blokes I have met who frequent those establishments, as opposed to the ones who've been to a bucks do or whatever, are often the ones who are overprotective of their own daughters.
There seems to me to be a certain hypocracy in their thought patterns, in that the exploitation of young women is OK as long as it's not their own. I'm not sure who's exploiting who BTW...:wink:
And on hypocracy, I think the most hypocrytical of all are those who judge a person (in this case Kevin) on what they think his private religious views mean to him. Now unless I'm mistaken, Kev hasn't actually ever said having the odd drink, or visiting a dance club, no matter how exotic that may be, is against the bounds of his religion. The only people who have done that are the ones who have made a judgement on what Kevins' religious understanding should be.
He has the same right to a religious belief that others have not to have one, and his interpretation of that belief is a matter for him, yet how quick is everyone to pounce!

I don't think visiting a strip club or drinking is a sin, but even if it was, then he is in good company for the Bible teaches that all man are sinners and the church is for sinners. If he was without sin his name would not be KR but JC.

I wonder if the sisterhood would let say Tony Abbot get away with it the way they have with Kev? I bet they wouldn't.
I have been to a strip club and didn't notice the girls that much got drunk with the guys. It was pretty boring really. There was one other time the girls from work took me and that was fun but at the same time I remember what happened even though I was drunk and did nothing to be ashamed of. The only time I have been so drunk I can remember nothing is the couple of times I was drinking and fell asleep. I am pretty sure they do remember something of what happened but want the story to go away.
The thing I noticed the day Rudd was made leader was that he always stood aside at the door and waved Julia Gillard in first. This does not look like a leader to me. His body language was not that of a man on a mission other than trying to pose as a super gentleman. My god I was thinking you are leader you go first take the bull by the horns demand Gillard to back you up. He looked a very submissive male to me that day. I am yet to be convinced he will make any sort of PM as he appears to desire nothing other than becoming PM. When it happens what will he do with it? I don't think he has any idea.

Had a stripper come on site one time for some old dudes retirement, middle of winter, tihs it was cold.
Anyway she starts doing the biz in the half finished house, music blaring, neighbours watching curiously over the sheets of plaster board that were at the windows.
She come over to me and grabs my hands and whacks them on her bussies, Hmmm :B firm..but freakin freazing :o, I think they were frozen solid, or felt that way anyhow.
So the answer is no, the strip joint came to me..

Been to a strip club? Yeah, many a time. I did some renos in one and on subsequent visits drinks were on the house, provided I didn't go overboard. Even with the door fee 'twas cheaper than the nearby pub, so that's where I went for lunch when I was in the area. Mind you, that place was basically a pub with a pink-bits decor, not a brothel under a different name.
I won't go to sleazies, whether it be pub or club. Not for any moral reasons, it's just that there are other places I'd rather be. :shrug:
There are people who don't distinguish between the two and I've no problems with that, if they have the moral strength to live by their beliefs. Hypocritical bastards with double standards, on the other hand... :no:

I really love this "I went to a strip joint once and found it really boring"
Yeh like I smoked a joint once but didn't inhale.
Liar Liar Pants On Fire!
Come on guys (& girls).
Having a couple of young things gyrating in your face is not boring!
You either find it embarrassing, titillating or extremely amusing (or a mixture of all of the above)
It only gets boring after you have been to them a few times too many. If you find it boring on your first visit you had best check your pulse.:D

Wasn't a strip club, it was a pub with added entertainment. Met a friend there after work and we were having a calming drink when the night's entertainment started.
As we had only just started our drinks, it would have been against drinker's etiquette to scull and leave (that's my excuse, anyway). We were both gobsmacked :o when the first disrobing lady was someone who we both went to school with (and my friend had actually gone out with...you could just see that he was regretting dumping her).
We noticed that there was a big :2tsup: difference from the girl who used to get blowflies sneakily tied to her waist length hair by those annoying boys at the back of the class....:doh:

I like the way ACA phrases their viewers polls like a loaded question:
Will KRs visit to a strip joint affect his chances of being elected?
You'd have to be an idiot to answer No. (although I'm sure that many will)
It's obvious that some people are going to change their minds about him and thus it will obviously affect his chances, but I reckon the majority will treat it as a non issue, and some such as me will see him as being more human, and more likeable because of it, yet they'll no doubt tout the fact that if there's a vast majority of no votes, it's damaged his reputation.
A more pertinent question would be; Will it affect your vote?
I'm sure they'd get a lot more 'No' votes if that were the question, but then they're obviously fishing for a big yes vote, even from the people who don't care, or who think better of him for it. You'd have to be brain dead to vote no to their question. :rolleyes:

Spent a whole day in a brothel about 25 years ago, installing a card system to keep out unpaid members, insert card in slot, no money, no entry.
The girls didn't give a rats ring about us being there and we weren't offered any freebies, not that I regret it as I am allergic to penicillin:D

God there has been a lot of sanctimonious crap written about this.
If this wasn't at the public expense then it is none of the public's business.
After all there is a saying in Canberra that federal politics is about middle aged men discovering sex! Apparently the number of parked Comcars in Fyshwyck is of legendary proportions.
So far in this country we have avoided the hypocrisy that occurs in the UK and USA with their so called "sex scandals". I wouldn't care if this was Howard, or any other politician of any other flavour. It's none of my business.

So why is that everybody's so worried about something he did years ago? If it was newsworthy why didn't it make the papers at the time?
Why are people so judgemental about his beliefs. We all want somebody decent to run the country, we have fairly high standards for these guys (higher than we'd expect to be judged by). When the guy speaks about what's dear to him we criticise, when he makes a mistake, we criticise, when he holds firm we criticise.
He's a Christian, he doesn't ram his beliefs down our throats. Let's be a little charitable and let him get on with making a difference to Australia. He's the first decent opposition leader we've had for years, I don't know if he'll make PM, I don't even know if I'll vote for him. I do know he deserves a fair go and let's understand that he's only human.

A place I used to work, had one about a block down the street. It was a pub, that had peelers (as we called them). They had a lunch time special, for $5 you got a nice BIG roast beef sandwich, side of fries, coleslaw, and a pickle, plus you could have a glass of beer, or a cup of coffee (I had to work, so I had the coffee). Seriously, that was the best, cheapest lunch around, but, the floor show was not always good for the appetite :doh:
Once I was sitting at a table, not close to the dance floor :rolleyes: reading a book eating my lunch, one of the peelers got so POed at me sitting there reading book during her "Show" she came over afterwards and gave me a piece of her mind, I felt bad, and gave it back, as she did not have much to spare :D
Seriously, unless you could rent the floor models on display, what's the point? :dunno:
Never did understand that one :huh:
