Need a new job?

*Everyone* should apply for this job:



Perhaps 40 times a month?

One in the morning, one in the afternoon...

Why do I feel like somebody is going to stab someone in the back soon...

[yob]

Thread goes dead after a corrupt c*** getting his cock polished holds together a back stabbing tag team and all of a sudden you're interested in politics because people don't like a conservative?

[Egan]

I'm always interested in politics. Just the shambles of this government was well predicted. Abbott is working the same way Rudd did that resulted in Rudd being hated by all and sundry...

Joe's discovered countercyclical fiscal policy. That copy of Economics for Dummies is working.

Tony Abbott wanted to go it alone into Iraq with a unilateral 3,500 man invasion to fight ISIS.

I'd carpet bomb the losers.

I'm on purdah so can't say anything about anything. Let the British Election end soon! Lol.

The Bronwyn Bishop stuff is all a bit of good fun, and everyone likes watching a dragon squirm, but it's also all a bit of nice cover for the play that really matters this week, acts two and three of this Government's greatest swindle.

Act 1: In the 2014 budget the forward allocations to the States for health and education have been cut by $80bn (sorry, there are $80bn in 'savings' - same sh*t). Collectively this leaves the States with an enormous budget hole to fill.

Act 2: Hockey tells the states that to fund themselves they ought to raise the GST.

Act 3: The coup de grace - Hockey proposes tax cuts!

So in getting someone else to pay for health and education funding, they get someone else to pay for tax cuts. Apparently economic responsibility is making things someone else's problem.

No need to address superannuation tax concessions. No need to address negative gearing. No need to address the CGT discount. Just get poor people to pay more for their milk and bread and you can have a tax cut.

Labor

Use constituents' funds to get your dick wet - good

Travel entitlements used within guidelines - no good

[Simmo79]

Labor's point (and Malcolm Turnbull's) is that her sticking to the guidelines is not at issue, it's the hilarously extravagant way she complied with the guidelines that got her kicked out of the speaker's chair

I know the point Labor is trying to make. It's just at odds with their policy to support members who use the money of the vulnerable constituents to get their dicks wet.

On Bronwyn - couldn't have happened to a more hatable politician. Just has that blue blooded wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire look to her. Never liked her. Still won't vote Labor or Green, ever.

One Robbie Williams concert later and suddenly the internet is bored of parliamentary expenses again.
