Re: Aus Federal Politics thread (XIII)

And in other news that's annoying the shit out of Shortarse

"NSW federal Labor MP Emma Husar should quit Parliament, according to senior Labor figures who say it "would be in her best interest" to step down from her western Sydney seat.

"Either way, this does not end well for her," a senior Labor source told the Herald.

Ms Husar is under investigation over allegations she bullied her staff and forced them to carry out domestic chores for her including babysitting, cleaning and picking up after her dog.

The Herald has also revealed Ms Husar made excessive use of the luxury taxpayer-funded Comcar service in her home town, against protocol.

Barrister John Whelan, a former Labor staffer, is investigating the claims and is understood to have collected more than 200,000 words of evidence from about 20 of Ms Husar's former employees (during the two years she has been in office).
...
"She is a tragic figure but it would be in her best interest to stand down," a source said.

"No matter what, this cannot end well for her and does not bode well for a marginal seat."

But another senior Labor source said it was unlikely Ms Husar would quit and force a byelection because she would find it difficult to get another job and needs the money."

The honeymoon appears to be well and truly over for Shortarse as Albo the vulture circles.

Well the big boys will probably not let her run again but the last thing they need is another by election.

She has been a laughing stock since this:

Darn it. The Pinks win the 4 byelections that they contested. Well done them.

Ugh, the hiding is well and truly on in the Fed Election for the Coalition.

Heavy Sigh.

Status Quo for by elections.

Still at the stsrt of the campaign they were looking good. As political strategists Mal and his campaign team need to hire my sons goldfish.

And watching Insiders as I type they have big problems. One of their senior ministers has just insisted Bill dismiss Hussar as a fed mp. He should resign for being a dumbfark not capable of running a govt dept.

Indeed Q. It burns me to watch the Labor party consistently give the Libs a hiding in campaigning. Just who is in charge of Coalition campaign strategy?? They have had no idea for years.

It would appear that the only way the Libs can ever win under the current campaign managers is if the Pinks are so on the nose (e.g Gillard/Krudd) that even the red swinging voters turn away. That ain't the case ATM.

Things look very grim for the Good Guys next year.

Expect the company tax cuts to disappear and the saved money to be used to do a Howard style pre-election giveaway budget. Catholic schools are going to be able to gold plate altar.

That is the obvious logical thing that I would do as a political strategist & campaign manager. Shortarse made good political capital out of Turncoat's mollycoddling of the banks.

All the tories need to do is say they will actively reduce the immigration intake. They do t actually have to do it, just say they will. It is the single biggest issue in the country.

by Bradman Sun 29 Jul 2018, 03:58

I'm not a fan of populate or perish so a reduced targetted intake is fine by me. Though any population policy would at lesdt be a start.

Meh by elections, other than another filth Downer losing. What a vile bunch of white collar thives

by Bradman Sun 29 Jul 2018, 07:55

Jesus h. Which ones.

by horace Sun 29 Jul 2018, 08:19

The Downers but yes there is no shortage of others.

by Bradman Sun 29 Jul 2018, 08:44

I think silver spoon thieves is more appropriate with that mob. White collar thieves actually get a look at the big house.

The Libs really shot themselves in the foot in Braddon. They attacked the independent that was standing about a resisting arrest conviction many years ago. That muckraking did'nt go down well & he received a much bigger primary vote than was expected which he delivered to Labor in preferences which got them across the line. Real opportunity lost.

by Bradman Sun 29 Jul 2018, 09:32

yeah i was shocked when i saw the figures coming in last night for thei independant. The ALP could win this with the proverbial drovers dog.

by skully Sun 29 Jul 2018, 10:51

I reiterate - farken idiot Lib campaign strategists.

by Bradman Sun 29 Jul 2018, 11:07

Strategy...... they have strategy.....they're campaigns are planned.

Truffles is the one factor keeping the Brownies' competitive. The bloke is also keeping the fascists in his own crew under control. Imagine Oz at the moment had the MM not been ousted. He'd be Oppo leader and wanting to burn the Reichstag.

Oz owes Truffles a big debt.

by Bradman Mon 30 Jul 2018, 00:58

Are you trying to woof him.

by horace Mon 30 Jul 2018, 05:02

Nope. Can't abide the bloke but he is not an extreme right winger.

by Bradman Mon 30 Jul 2018, 05:26

I thought you were taking the piss.

by horace Mon 30 Jul 2018, 06:45

Nup. The elimination of the Member for the Vatican was a boon to public life. Truffles and colleagues, even putrid Sco Mo, deserve credit for the successful purge.

by Bradman Mon 30 Jul 2018, 06:54

Actually do we have a specific ambassador bto the holy see or id thst handled by our man in Italy. could be a Good way to pension him off. Unless the mad bastard thinks he might make a Good opposition lesder.
