Makes you wonder how much legislation was passed illegally by past parliaments.

So the Good Guys still have a one seat majority then?

Technically yes. But I don't subscribe to this point. My view is that if the elected Member had've been found ineligible prior to said election then another Lib or Lab (depending on the seat) would've been elected instead, hence the parliamentary numbers would've stood.

Good point that.

Lambie resigns - ironically not for being a Kiwi.

She's now said she might run in the lower house if there there is a by-election for Justine Keay's seat.

Watched 4 corners last night. Lots of interviews with extreme righties. One guy makes it his business with to stack the LIB membership with crazed hunker down and testify religiods. How this relects mainstrem, largely agnostic centrist Australians is a mystery. Lots of Bernardi and Erics Anazi.. Bizarro social conservative ultra right types.

Much yabbering the "right" to believe in sky demons and fairies at the bottom of the garden. Misguided those these wackos are have not seen anyone suggest they don't have freedom of belief. The issue is stopping these loons and frocked up church paedos imposing their beliefs on others.

I see Obeid's girl is standing in the Bennelong byelection.

by horace Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:49 am

Oh well. Guess she has not been charged with anything - yet.

She's running against a nob, whose Davis Cup record was worse than Rafters.. Alexander could however lay claim to being the best Inner Pomgolian racketeer since Perry or the Krays.

Wrong thread I know but can't be arsed asking (on a mat a map OSI) but who is Luke's father?

There's no guarantee Alexander CAN run. He hasn't officially renounced his Brit citizenship yet. The by-election is on Dec 16, does he have enough time??

I was asking the same thing yesterday. It took others months to get their renunciation paperwork though.

He was immaculately conceived. Although there is a theory that Snoke (baddie from Ep VII) was somehow linked.

Yeah I got the whole religious iconography shit from ep1. I actually liked ep 1 up until the chariot scene which should becomes a gay icon and of curse the obligatory blowing the death star out of the air because it has a some fault my son's goldfish could spot

Many years ago in a galaxy far, far away I renounced my British citizenship but merely by filling out a passport application could reactivate it.

So I'm told. I'm a lawyer, albeit a pretty crap one according to some of my peers, but I'd like to think a touch better than the ambulance chasers that pass for party apparitchiks nowadays.

WTF does entitled. Mean?

The "Yes" vote?

ABS will officially declare the result at 10 am this morning.

by Bradman Wed Nov 15, 2017 4:59 am

Will it matter? 10.00 am is when the ear starts

First discredit the results. Second discredit the the results of the hideously expensive survey which was a pay off for mal choosing not to slum it at kiirrabilli

62/38 for the good guys.

Weird results. On the 17 electorates that voted no, most were ALP heartland in western Sydney including the seats for ALP front benchers like Bowen, Husic, Burke and Clare.

Whereas my electorate - with a certain Tony Abbott as our local member - was 75% "yes".
