Just hope the (rhymes with private tennis court) bankrolled climate 200 mob doesn't oust my local member. He's a decent guy.
Or we will see the USA style of politics where money talks. And blanket advertising across all media determines outcomes.

Looks like my local moderate liberal has gone. Decent guy.
As I said, Tennis Court money talks.

Is ‘tennis court’ money any different to Clive Palmer money?

I’m optimistic that we might be given the two-party system a bit of a shake up which it well and truely needs.

This election process was more subtle and insidious than Palmer.
Best I don't get into a gender debate in regard to what I see as voting preferences and outcomes.

There is definitely insidious funding in the Australian political system. For example, the big banks give donations to both major parties so that banking system regulation is off the agenda regardless of which party wins government.

Well it will be an interesting year or two ahead..... Not my choice, but it is what it is. Now to wait for the new budget and see where we see the cash splashes.

Well the ABC coverage told us that the LNP did relatively well in Tasmania and parts of Qld due to being "older" and more settled populations.
Not exactly a flattering comment.

Is all about how well you can put a good enternaining show, grease some officials/media, rig the system and call it fair.
