JC Political Thread - For All Things Political Part 2

^^^ your complete and utter miss understanding of the politicial process is pretty much summed up there.

it's misunderstanding BTW
and how is mine summed up there?

Wong. She was dis endorsed before ever becoming elected. She was always elected as in independent although from memory the ballot papers were already printed or something similar saying she was a liberal. It was actually democrat preferences that got her over the line.

she was still on the ballot paper as a lib
would that have not confused some voters?

I was actually a very staunch far right winger. Until Pauline Hanson came along. When you see such views actually make it into parliament, they truly seem bizarre.

She was dis-endorsed and very publicly so at the time. Really the Electoral Commission (the body responsible for such things, not the LNP!) should have reprinted the ballot papers.

Far left/right - happens on both sides. Some of the crap that comes from the Greens is just astounding too. Are you saying they should be prevented from running?? Or just let them sprout their views and let the public see them for what they are. I wonder how long Clive Palmer will last. Ever noticed that most of the far right seem to originate from QLD and the looney left Tasmania??? :hmmm:

I am happy for anyone to have a go, provided their policies do not violate the principles of human rights, eg. the UN Declaration of Human Rights. So no overt racism, dictatorships, genocide etc. This means no Nazi Party or Communist Party, for example. However if there are parties candidates I really don't like I also reserve the right to judge them negatively, and communicate that view as appropriate. As does everyone else.......

Clive palmer......hah yeh.....a 10 year old trapped in the body of a morbidly obese baby boomer.

#### me dead!!!! Let it go. It was less than 48 hours before I responded.he posted the question on new years eve.last thing I wanted to do on new years eve was to sit around home talking to you.new years day was out of the question too so I responded at around 8am on the 2nd.
If this is too long for you to get a reply then it is bad luck for you

Oh and next week the responses won't be regular as I am back at work..

Calm down. No need to get your knickers in a twist.

It only seems to happen in Queensland, though. (Think Clive Palmer) Other state's voters are rather more cautious.

Ok this illustrates the difference between our current government and the media attention whores we had for the last 6 years....

Now i'm not sure if the above is on the JC "approved media source" list but that's beside the point. If this happened a few months ago, both Rudd and Gillard would be on the news with a full blown presser telling all and sundry how good they are. Now there is barely a murmor in Australia, certainly nothing from govco - I haven't even heard anything from the Australian media about it. Thank god it looks like we have a government that looks to be just getting on with the job without undue fanfare or getting their faces on the tv every 5 min.

of course there hasn't been a murmur minister Morrison is the king of secrecy and he's certainly not going to publicise the fact that he is failing and the boats are still coming

I don't think Cory Bernardi's new book will get Oprah's tick of approval LOL....
