JC Political Thread - For All Things Political Part 2

[Calaber]

After thinking about things...have had enough of left wing politics for a while. Will inquire as to Nationals membership this afternoon.

Don't do it. Compared to some of the other leftist loonies on this forum, you are one of the few rational and well balanced debaters.

Did I miss it ?
Has Bill Shorten or any Labor or Green MP made a comment re their former pal and Labor M.P., Craig Thomson, getting a jail term ?
How about their Labor National president and HSU union boss Michael Williamson, getting a 7 year jail term for fraud ?
Anything ?
Surely they don't support fraud ... Or do they?

Yes you did miss it. They were all shocked and disowned him, although that more or less happened on the last sitting day of the previous parliament anyway.

And they've had even less to say about NSW Labor, aka Eddie Obeid, Ian McDonald and Co.......

The worst of the current Federal Opposition IMO is Chris Bowen. He is attacking the government for their strategies to pull back the deficit, when he was one of the architects of the problem originally. Bloody hypocrite.

so, the WA senate results seem to be coming in.

6% swing against federal liberal, 5% against federal labor, 7% towards the greens and 7.5% towards PUP. greens, pup, and labor 1 seat each, liberals 2 with the possibility of losing 1 and the 6th seat still un-certain.

WA has spoken and it looks like, in palmer's words, that "WA is sick of being raped".

we have a good opportunity to have a constructive relationship with Clive Palmer...So we will be negotiating with whomever we have to negotiate with in the Senate to deliver on our promises to the Australian people.

seems as though the libs are scared that they may not be able to push through whatever they want now.
