Katter really deserves his own TV show. He's just amazing. How the **** do people vote for him?

WHY ARE THEY ALL YELLING?
Re: The Politics Thread 2018
That had everything.
Including Pauline Hanson being an expert on Wildlife and saying he immigration policy has never discriminated.
As someone on twitter said, George Christensen came across as mildly intelligent on that panel.
He also threatened to cross the floor again (We know how that ends)
Also apparently Queensland will now be broken up into two state. I'm actually ok with that.

Does Dutton need to be investigated for every single decision he has made as au pair Minister?

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Ughh.
The one pleasing thing is seeing AFL supremo look like a deer in the headlights during questioning - "not expecting any special treatment". Umm the very act of lobbying Dutton is asking for special treatment, is it not?

Re: The Politics Thread 2018
Turnbull joined the party of stupid (and racist). A bit rich for his supporters to be trashing the party for what has been clearly evident since Hewson was rolled as leader.
Re: The Politics Thread 2018
Well the coup has got even dumbed as now some people from both Dutton and Turnbull's camp believe Morrison's people put votes behind Dutton in the first spill to create more chaos than there actually was and ensure he would win the 2nd leadership ballot...
Seriously how much more crazy can their theories get...

Re: The Politics Thread 2018
Doesn’t seem that far fetched... how else do you explain Dutton having enough signatures for a spill and then failing to win the vote otherwise?

Re: The Politics Thread 2018
It's a pretty crafty ploy, ensuring Dutton had enough numbers in the first spill to create instability and him thinking he would have a genuine chance to win
Then Morrison's camp rounds up the numbers from Turnbulls camp and swoops in

Re: The Politics Thread 2018
That combines all denominations of which Catholicism was the highest one at 22.6%, for the record Morrisons Pentecostals are 1.1% so all the preachers saying Morrison was a miracle from god and darkness is coming if he’s not re-elected won’t have the same affect here as evangelical leaders praising Trump in America.gergreg wrote: ↑September 8, 2018, 9:53 am https://www.canberratimes.com.au/politi ... 502da.html

I bow down to thee oh great Nickman, the wisest of the wise, your political adroitness is unsurpassed, your sagacity is unmatched, your wisdom shines through on this forum amongst us mere mortals as bright as your scalp under the light of a full moon, never shall I doubt your analytical prowess again. You are my hero, my lord, my savior, may you accept my offerings so you continue to bless us with your genius.
Re: The Politics Thread 2018
I imagine a lot of those people would be non-practicing Christians e.g. people raised in a Christian family who do not actively live a Christian life (i.e. do not go to church, pray etc)gergreg wrote: ↑September 8, 2018, 9:53 am https://www.canberratimes.com.au/politi ... 502da.html

Re: The Politics Thread 2018
There were definitely some that ticked it for believing they were culturally Christian rather than actual believing Christians, would’ve been less than last time with “no religion” the first option on the list for the first time but there would’ve have been some.

Dutton v Quadvlieg. With Quadvlieg having nothing to lose and Dutton's career on the line, this could get messy.

Quadvlieg was the head of border force. I suspect he knows plenty of things Dutton and the government would prefer to keep to themselves.gergreg wrote: ↑September 11, 2018, 7:25 pmThey should square off at the Colosseum.

Re: The Politics Thread 2018
Using Parliament to say he "groomed" someone much younger than him can't end well..
Everyone knows what that implies.
Thing with this is Roman isn't going personal.
Dutton first questioned his mental health and now this..

Re: The Politics Thread 2018
Well it's not like any MPs have ever had a much younger partner or helped them get a job in 'out of the ordinary' circumstances.
Dutton is digging a massive hole for himself and not in the Dale Kerrigan way.

Does he not remember who his Deputy PM was just a few months ago..?
Wonder if he would drop the word "Grooming" for that.
He was getting his partner gigs where she didn't even have log in despite working there for months

ScoMo, Erica Betzy and Nauru Voldemort all squeeling like stuck pigs.
To be fair, the media (or at least the 70% owned by NewsCorp) will crush most of the accusations coming from Quaedvlieg as he isn't exactly of upstanding character himself.
However, I think Roman has so much **** to throw that some will have to stick, potentially after being verified by third parties.

Morrison's pick in Wentworth went out in the first round and now it looks like Phelps could run.

Abbott ran unopposed from pre selection in Warringah and only won 46-38

It’s a black mark on the face of Australia and the people of Warringah that he didn’t get shafted many years ago. People are **** idiots for enabling the wrecker.

Re: The Politics Thread 2018
God that fiasco has hit me right in a sore point
Why the **** does anyone give a ****... it was a lame attempt to be cool, that's all. But the way certain twitter users of a certain political persuasion (I.E you, you **** knuckle dragging) took to it was embarrassing
I **** guarantee you if that Spineless idiot Shorten used some song as a backdrop to some meaningless social media post, you'd be **** mum on it. It actually made me want to vote for ScoMo more.
Is there we're we are at? Worrying about the extended lyrics of a song pollies use for social media posts?
If so, shut down it all down, we dont need pollies to run the country because we've run out of real problems
