I liked the bit when the old guy who did the swearwords came back and the lady with the red hair had to leave forever and the guy with the big ears had to say the same distance away as he always was

So the Pm that we didn't vote for is replaced by the PM whose own party didn't want and will soon be beaten by a PM that no one wants. Got that. Aint Australian politics great.

That's a good summary, as sad and pathetic as it is.

I would be happy with the peanuts and benefits they get..........but I am a bit of a monkey.

I would also agree to their pay packet to have my photo take sitting in a chair knitting and be married to a gay hairdresser.

Ahhhhh politics,,,,,,,,what a crock of rudd,,,oppps,,I mean crudd.

The thing is, if you want to attract great leaders you need to give them an incentive. They can earn peanuts running a country or millions running a company. There are some great leaders out there in the business world.

Kevin now supports gay marriage, there's a few days left for parliament to sit, maybe he'll get a bill through and you can marry your gay hairdresser!

does anyone REALLY know what they are doing in the matrix system

besides we need idiots to believe in what we say, with out them nobody would get support they need, but i suppose we are all idiots in some way or another, maybe we are idiots thinking that we can change it or convince others, maybe they are idiots, everyone is an idiot...

And that ^^^^ is why we are all doomed as a nation and a species we are just a pack of short sighted selfish crunts

I am assuming if we had sarcastica font you would have used it and that I am not making a personal attack.

Edit. Sorry I was thinking for a moment that we had some kind of real choice? Carry on.

If you want change. If you want politicians who are accountable to the electorate rather than their party, follow a simple rule.

Put the sitting MP last.

So in WA do we vote for a party that will rape and pillage WA's money to make their own?..
Or do we vote for a party that with take and pillage WA's money to make their own? hmm good question


Especially when I remember back before the mining years, when the East Coast did not want to give us a brass razoo,
no matter who was in power over here they had to fight tooth and nail for crumbs...

If you look at the accounts, Western Australia has been a net beneficiary of federal government handouts. It will take a very long time to make up what has been paid out. However you are right in that both major parties are two sides of the same coin.

This coin is an incredible narrow slice of the Australian population. Clearly Australians are increasingly alienated from politics, politiicans and the political system and largely for good reasons.

In all seriousness, I think we just vote for the party, and the party's policies, rather than voting for an individual Prime Minister.

Just remember that locally in your electorate, different parties will promise to delivery different things.

And be thankful that you don't live in Pittwater or Manly Electorates... Tony & Bronwyn's seats... Neither Labor or Liberal spends much money there... Liberal win no matter what, so they don't need to buy votes, and Labor doesn't even begin to try to buy votes... It's almost 'lose-lose' up there!

heres my take on it

Liberals: so far up the corporates asses they cant see the light. no policies

Labour: some good ideas, but cant implement them due to incompetence

Greens: some utopian society that just doesnt exist

The others: wacky and weird policies, based on religion or extreme prejudices

thats what I mean by no policies, "strong and credible broadband policy" this could mean nothing or anything. current internet will be fine then by some peoples standards. Just no Netflix, cloud storage or anything fast for business.

There would be none of them if they did not win their local election. Can't be PM if you are not an MP. John Howard found that out.
