Geez, yesterday proved once again we have some right royal idiots as politicians. Firstly, Dutton and his dog-whistle comment about refugees being illiterate and taking Australian jobs :facepalm :huh3. Then, there was Feeney "forgetting" he had a $2.3 million property to declare :facepalm.

Just had the honorable Julie Bishop come to our  house as part of the rounds.

A fine woman she is. Would certainly do a better job than the 2 clowns currently on offer

Labor are finished in this seat of Bruce.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

too funny
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

She seems to prefer being the 'kingmaker'. She's remained deputy despite 4 changes of leadership.

Labor are finished in this seat of Bruce.
There's a very mixed demographic in that seat. Northern parts around Waverley would be traditionally more 'Liberal', while the south around Clayton & Dandenong would be traditionally more Labor. The ALP kept hold of the seat despite the huge swing against them at the last election. I bet Dutton's idiotic comments about "illiterate migrants taking Aussie jobs" would've gone down well in the electorate with the highest migrant population in the country :doh.

only reason they survived last time was the folk around here liked Alan Griffin. There is no Alan to save them this time, no matter how much the libs try and stuff this up.

Prior to Griffin this part around Mulgrave/W Hill was a strong Liberal area and after we see more of the great Bishop, the ALP is all finito.

Another seat that the shortman will have to try and hold. :thumbsup

'Worse things in store': Steaming hot world sets more temperature records
 
Date April 20, 2016 -

Peter Hannam 

The Earth sizzled in March with the most unusually warm month in recorded history as average land surface temperatures easily exceeded levels deemed by scientists to constitute dangerous climate change.

The abnormal weather has continued into April as the most powerful tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Indian Ocean dumped rain at rates reaching 300 mm an hour, and Australian scientists declared the worst coral bleaching event ever on the Great Barrier Reef.

Turnbull's tax cuts for business plans are a complete waste of time.


Fraction of small businesses likely to use Coalition tax cuts to expand – industry body

Council of Small Business of Australia chief says only about 40,000 of the 870,000 small businesses receiving the cut are likely to use the bonus

Only about 40,000 of the 870,000 small businesses getting a tax cut under the Coalition’s “jobs and growth” plan are likely to use the bonus to expand their operations, according to the Council of Small Business of Australia (Cosboa).
