Goodbye Bronwyn

[Danscraftbeer]

Mostly blokes whine about Gullard because they don't like being told what to do by a woman. These are the blokes who also whinge about their wives.

And thier wives hate her even more. Why? something about women with more power something?

 

[wobbly]

Break out the champers and pop tarts. My vote for a total cleanout, vote in a batch of independents, and make 'em work things out for the betterment of the community, not the f**king economy.

F*** just imagine it - Decisions by committee!!

That is if they ever got around to making a decision

Wobbly

I do have to pick you up on this though - Brandis is intelligent.

Can you please define " Intelligent"...

 

[madpierre06]

Intelligent.......or just rat cunning.

 

[Danscraftbeer]

Oh yeah - i forgot arrogant, too.

I get the impression most/all of the hardcore Abbott supporters within the LNP MPs are of that "arrogant true-believer" mould. The worst kind of person in a democracy (regardless of their political persuasions).

I should add i'm not necessarily any more impressed with the current ALP - i think the reason we have someone as bad as Abbott as a PM is largely because the ALP/opposition is so crap as well.
*Sigh* - if only the ALP or the LNP were not so pathetic!!

They are though unfortunately. The difference is ALP are more Honest with judgement. The LNP will stand by thier leader no matter how bad they stink! just to prove they arnt like the ALP. Now that is the peak of pathetic Australian Pollitics. Well I hope it is the peak anyway.

The peak, or depths?

Must be a good 20+ years ago ( if my memory is correct )there was a report on TV about a pollie who drove his OWN car to parly house,when asked why he replied that the goverment supplied car and driver was a waste of money,he was treated like a leper because of it.
I don't remember who he is/ was or which party he represented but he had a conscious,prolly been thrown on the scrap since for giving a stuff .

envy, fear, & jealousy. They think "I could never have amounted to much more than I have because I lack the courage, self determination, or strength to be anything but deferential to the men in my life." Or something along those lines.

Clive uses his own cars/jets/helicopters and doesn't claim expenses and apparently donates his wage to charity, but I'd hate to see a parliament full of clives ( probably unlikely as he rarely turns up anyway )

These grubs are simply nothing better than scourges on the public purse, that arsehole Hockey was right...we need to get better jobs...THEIRS!!! And they have the hide to continue telling everybody else to tighten our belts....I know where I would like my belt to be when I tighten it...'round a few of their bloody necks.

 

[manticle]

To be honest, and as little regard for politicians as I have notwithstanding, that news story is about as sensationalist as they come. Next to politicians, real estate agents and parking inspectors we have a large number of journalists floating on top of a big, stinky pond.

 

[butisitart]

i bet clive claims his cars/jets on tax. he too fat and egoblown to be THAT altruistic.
if i were in politics, i'd give everybody on this forum a comcar to pick up your kids from school to the airport so they could fly off to wherever you have to go for work, so the family stays intact. business class, of course. fifo's, guys who get sent from melbourne to brisbane for 2 days a week... vote me in. :lol:

Donald Trump for President of the USA

I hear Cain Valasques wants a meeting with Don. Something to do with his views on Mexican immigration.

 

[JDW81]

Bronny's replacement has been named. Victorian Liberal MP Tony Smith. He's already stated he won't be attending liberal party room meetings.

 

[yankinoz]

Just think, if Australia had the US system, direct election of a president, y'all would have Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson, Jacquie Lambie, Bob Katter and Peter Slipper all out on the stump, and Kevin Rudd and Bronwyn planning comebacks.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

It would be interesting to know just how many snouts are in the trough regarding ALL claims, I agree with Barnaby Joyce if all the names were named we would be left with hardly any Government or opposition. But it doesn't stop there what about all the civil servants with their own deals, Michael Lawler for one on $10,000 a week salary with unlimited sick pay and abused it by taking 9 months sick leave to cohort with his partner Kathy Jackson over the misappropriation of $1.4 million of union funds (the fleecing of the sheep) just with him alone 9 months wages is $360,000 sick pay, more than a lot of people earn.

Looking forward to the comments from the Labour Party on the Productivity Commission into Workplace Relations regarding changes to penalty rates, especially after little Bill Shorten told the Royal Commission that he negotiated the Cleanevent wages below award and without penalty rates just to keep people employed.

Surely you mean apathetic?

Palmers pretty much the only one on that list who fits the US model as he could buy his way into the office on his own dime. Suppose Rudd could hit Thérèse up for some pocket money though.
On the other hand we could elect actors. Russel Crowe could be our Ronald Reagan.
Only thing to be wary of is nepotism creeping in. I'm all for giving your kids a leg up in life, just not when your kid is GWB.
