[Stalin]

So what is the solution.


Not to vote?


 

Lock up the 62 blokes that own half the earth

Good start

[Insert broken record]Same broken bloated 3-tier monarchist political system repeats the same mistakes and reproduces the same failed results. We need constitutional reform.[/Remove broken record]

Another dud policy announcement today from Turnbull with infrastructure spending for Victoria all for roads and stuff all for rail/PT  . Hello again failed 1960s/70s LA freeway/tollroad mentality .

[Francois Jackson]

Stop complaining you lot. Finally, we are in good hands.

"If you do not manage debt, debt manages you" – Barnaby Joyce, 25 February 2010

Why,  is he any worse than Howard, Julia, abbot and other assorted monkeys?

At least he has the balls to say the Feds a scam 

Well done big barnaby

Heading for a hung parliament according to the polls. Latest Essential and ReachTEL polls both have the main parties split at 50-50.

Bronwyn Bishop has flown in her last taxpayer-funded helicopter. Dumped from pre-selection for her seat by the Libs tonight.

Still she gets ... a taxpayer-funded pension for life worth an estimated $200,000-a-year and a life gold pass for free domestic flights. The Life Gold Pass to be awarded to her when she exits politics at the next election will entitle her to fly around Australia on domestic flights up to 10 times a year.

So much for cuts to curb expenditure and debt .

I'd love to know what the cost for taxpayers is when you add up all the ex MP pensions and freebies they get? Got to be a massive expense if one pension is at 200k, how many ex mp's are still alive?

[Diocletian]

Barnaby Joyce - is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

I suppose the other side of the argument is that representing constituents is one of the highest public service roles one can fill, and would therefore deserve apt compensation. After all, we do need some incentive to get the best possible individuals involved in politics.

200k sounds excessive and probably is, but most public service jobs receive retirement benefits that greatly outway commercial counterparts. That's why everyone hates teachers

Game on

[WilliamPowell]

Game on

Who cares? Really?

I know don't

Just another in the long list of examples of pollies wanting to win at any cost as opposed to actually doing the job they elected to do

[Francois Jackson]

Correct William. I couldn't care less about these 2 idiots.

What a big time failure both would be.

[1965]

Hmmm


Climate change?

[Stalin]

3aw discussing australian politics is mind numbing
