What they really need to do is end tax free status for religions. Islam alone has 453 organizations paying no tax in this country.

I agree with you entirely.

In a statement to his Facebook page, Mr Urban said he told the Premier he would be resigning his party membership, as well as his membership of two Parliamentary committees.

Mr Urban said he expected to make a full statement to Parliament tomorrow.

The pinko candidate has withdrawn from the by election after a series of questions about her educational history

apparently * enrolling in a course that leads to an MBA from UWA isnt the same as having an MBA from UWA

Farkin dodgy Pinkos. So she was trying the same trick as Urban re: qualifications she didn't have.

Shorten is blowing up in Melbourne, home run. But Barnaby?????

Albanese clearly preferred to Shorten as ALP leader and potential PM in the latest poll. Over the weekend, the ALP State conference was blown up by the Unions who don't want policy on asylum seekers, tax, etc to be publicly discussed, just formulated behind closed doors. Shorten still 'never never' re: company tax cuts to rest of world standards in order to stimulate employment, preferring to stay rooted in confected class warfare, while another survey shows 2/3 of the population believe the tax cuts should occur at some stage and only 1/3 believe they should not occur at all. All this disturbing news comes from from the normally staunchly pro-ALP ABC. They couldn't possibly be shooting themselves in the foot, in sight of the finish line, could they?

Thankfully the only poll that matters to the TPP which shows Labor in the lead by around 4 points.
As for the ABC , a Lib stooge as the head and they are pro-ALP??? Laughing

No, the only poll that matters is the one on Election Day.

They may no longer be the active ALP publicity machine, but they're still more ALP than anything else. The bias is less obvious than it was 10-20 years ago, but it's still there. Incidentally, I don't think that's a bad thing, given that the radio shock jocks and private print media are hysterically right wing

Wilson is my local member (I saw her at a local cafe a week or so ago). She is widely derided. State politics is the pits.

Rum corps would be a upgrade over the current lot.

So her politics aren't up to much, but you've seen her, we expect a comment re any value on the eye?

Sitting govts always lose by elections. Mainly because they're farking idiots but they prefer the "sitting govts always lose by elections" thingy.

NSW Pinko leader Luke Foley looks in deep shit now that the ABC journo has released a statement confirming the opposition leader stuck his hands down the back of her dress and into her undies at a party in 2016.

The statement also said Foley had called her twice in the past week to apologise - the first time saying he was about to resign and the 2nd saying he'd changed his mind on legal advice.

Dead man walking.

by JGK Thu 08 Nov 2018, 06:30

He's going to resign at 5.30.

Good riddance, creep.
