We've gone from the circumcision of the State of Queensland to Jacqui Lambie so seamlessly it barely raises an eyebrow.

[lardbucket]

She is a walking, talking, and unfortunately breathing inditement of the Senate preferential electoral system.

Unrepresentative swill, to quote.

[JGK]

Speaking of which, I got my copy of the book of the great man's quotes today.

Careful you don't stick the pages together.

Is this the book that Crikey were promoting as a bonus to signing up?

Not sure.

Peter Slipped to be sentenced on Wednesday.

Unbelievably, the prosecution is asking for gaol time.

[horace]

he would therefore be joining a long list of ex Qld pollies and public figures to have gone to stir

[lardbucket]

He might find Mr Wright.

[Big Dog]

He might find Mr Wright.

What did HE do?

PMSL - the PUPs along with the Greens and ALP are going to have an inquiry into the state of the Queensland Government. PUP's revenge on CanDo:

It would be a really wide-ranging inquiry, including: "performance measures in relation to Commonwealth funds paid to the state of Queensland," "the administration of the Queensland courts and judicial system," and the "approval process for the development of projects for the export of resources ..."
The committee would be asked due to report by March 31, 2015 - in time for the Queensland state election next year.

PMSL @ the Vulture and Krudd taking potshots at each other via the media. Pinko hatred for anything blue and all things fiscally responsible is only exceeded by their hatred for each other.

[JGK]

It's all Rudd's fault.

Qunt.

Slipper avoids gaol:

Good behaviour bond for 2 years, conviction recorded, restitution to cwealth of $954, 300 hrs community service

[skully]

No surprise there.

Meanwhile, it seems that Cambodia is reporting that they are about to sign up to a refugee resettlement arrangement with Australia which sounds like the sort of arrangement that Hockey said would only ever happen "over my dead body".

[skully]

Meanwhile, Peter Slipper's deranged ex-wife rants inside then outside court that he was the hardest working pollie in Fed parliament. Deary me.

She can't be that deranged if she's divorced him.

True dat.

Meanwhile, can we expect those farkwit Greens to vote against the new terrorist laws Bill?

Yes. Leyjonhelm too it seems.

So the major parties have done well to get the Greens and Libertarians voting the same.

[skully]

I don't think even a terrorist knife to the throat would make that wrinkly windbag Christine Milne think about supporting anything the current Govt proposed. What a hateful bint she is.

Leyjonhelm is simply mad as a cut snake. Is he bonking Peter Whish-Wilson? What a pair.

[embee]

I don't think even a terrorist knife to the throat would make that wrinkly windbag Christine Milne think about supporting anything the current Govt proposed. What a hateful bint she is.

she'd blame Abbott for inciting the terrorist

[skully]

I imagine her head would still be protesting Abbott's heinous proposals as it rolled down the gutter.

[JGK]

I don't think even an terrorist knife to the throat increase in taxes on petrol would make that wrinkly windbag Christine Milne think about supporting anything the current Govt proposed. What a hateful bint she is.
