Give up yet? . . .. . Scroll down
Neither,
it's the 535 members of the AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT
in CANBERRA
The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year, designed to keep the rest of us in line.
You've got to pass this one on!
From hilly's link it appears the numbers have been crunched for the U.S. and maybe the numbers are correct for Aus. Who knows??
The numbers are not that important. What is important is the perceptions and priorities people have.
What is more important for you??? What happens in Parliament House Canberra, or what happens at Suncorp Stadium, Milton??
I'd imagine most former parliamentarians have pretty good credit due to the fact if they stay in for a couple of terms and then leave, they get something like 80% of their final salary, so at least $100K a year, indexed, for the rest of their life.
Are there 535 members of the federal parliament?
Maybe you missed this question.
Jeez hilly, no one is forcing you to read or respond to the thread.
I hope you are not a police person. You are a bit too trigger happy for my liking.
