Some Queenslanders have to be okay with someone like slippery Pete looking after their interests.
How about the Victorian Troika?

Whats going on down there? Thankfully we've only have a year at the most to go with this mob. Unfortunately the other side looks a bit dodgy too.
The ALP will be lucky if they can find enough MPs to make up a shadow cabinet after the next federal election. Once their primary vote starts sliding below 30% basically the question going out is, can the last one leaving shut the door? NSW, Victoria, Queensland. That is the future for the ALP.
Nah. They were reserved for the car dealer hisself. I was only ever a hot shot salesman and that is all I ever wanted to be.
Clive Palmer is a national treasure who has single-handedly carried this great nation through the GFC.
...seriously who would book a trip on the Titanic II's maiden voyage?
Katter, as much a dick as he is, has some good policies amongst the bad, ie. (mostly) against coal seam gas, for keeping state assets, for fair pricing safeguards for farmers, preventing Australia becoming a net importer of food. I can see why people voted for him, stupid hat and all.

Next election Barnaby will contest a safe National seat in the lower house. He will be elected. He will be leader of the National party. If the coalition are elected Barnaby Joyce will be DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER and ACTING PRIME MINISTER when Abbott (or Turnbull) are indisposed...... **** me!!! Bob Katter?....Dinsdale, there's no character assassination needed for Katter. It's Character self assassination for Bob. Exhibit a; Signing a petition that said the Port Arthur massacre was a conspiracy. b: How's about his comments about gay Queenslanders...ie..there aren't any???.c: His opposition to any idea of Global warming "are you telling me seriously that the world is going to warm because there's 400 parts per million of CO2 up there?"
????. d: singing his election "theme song"
.. ????.

So Cisco you're happy with Barnaby as deputy Prime minister? Is it my twisted commy brain, but wouldn't you be worried when Abbott goes overseas Barnaby will invade Tasmania.....or will eat his own excrement as a protest against Obama or something. I'm all for interesting politics but Barnaby is....well.... a bit N.Q.R.
Geez, Cisco.... I just read that again....Port Arthur massacre was an inside job.....PLEASE EXPLAIN
No politicians are normal unless they are nobodies doing nothing besides playing suduko and crossword puzzles on the back bench. Anyone who thinks they know how to run peoples lives are a bit crazy, especially when they look at all the crap they have caused in their own life.
They think they have a mandate to lord it over us because of everyone was forced to vote for one of them or the other. This whole representative democracy thing is reaching or has passed its used by date. Its hardly representative anyway. If Mr Logman lived where I live, his vote would mean nothing. The ALP wouldn't win here if the Liberals put up a two legged dog as their candidate, versus Jesus Christ representing the ALP. Meanwhile a senate vote in Tasmania is worth about 15 times the same vote in NSW or Victoria.
Lets try and get representative democracy working, put the sitting member last. Then they might start doing some representing.
Representative Democracy???
I think the last known occurrence of that was in Greece a couple of thousand years ago when if the representative did not re-present the will of his electorate the way they wanted, the citizens hung him.
Sounds like a good custom to re-introduce.
