ps. I didn't mention the federal election w.r.t to Latham. I said the NSW upper house quota is low (compared to the federal Senate). You only need 4.55% to win a upper house seat in NSW whereas you need 14.3% at a half-Senate election. It's why Latham and Leyonhjelm are now competing for the more getable NSW upper house. As Keating once said, always back self-interest .

John Locke (17th century philosopher) said if first.

I thought it was originally a Jack Lang quote who was one of Keating's mentors?

Always thought the aftermath of the next election would get ugly but never expected a mass exodus before the election.

Oldfield isn't/wasn't close to Latham. Wasn't close to Hanson either, everyone knew she was the draw card back then. Now they've got her and a guy who actually knows how to speak coherently and put forward some policies that make sense.
They are a minor party, this is the start of their run in NSW. Give it time, grasshopper. 3 months ago you'd have said no one would be elected from One Nation in that state, now you're saying "ohhh 2 wouldn't be impressive".

Oh, so you voted for the Greens.... You voted for Latham, it's okay.

Good....

The Libs are getting desperate for credible candidates to run in the next election. The latest is a one time Labor president who was a Labor member for 20 years.


LMAO

Mundine is okay. Labor has changed a lot in 20 years, 65.

Credders and Mudnine

Lefties like '65 are just upset that one of their minority pets is actually thinking for themselves and isn't doing as they're told and  thinking or behaving like they're supposed to....

The guy they shafted to parachute Mundine into the seat has just quit the Liberal party and will run as an independent.


This is becoming farcical.


FFS bring on the election.

How is that an unexpected turn of events?

You lefties make me laugh

Who said it was unexpected?

[Assange Tiger 😎]

You seemingly being frustrated with the old 'FFS' and 'bring on the election'

It's all good. You'll get a few years of Shorten/Albo

It's all good. You'll get a year of Shorten, eighteen months of Albo and six months of Pilbersek.

And now the Nats have come out and said they are running a candidate as well.


What an effing joke this Government has become.
