Since we are clearly in control now, can we have proper socialised healthcare and education. No more of this paying for medicine or the government giving funding to private schools. No more paying for degrees or TAFE accreditations, and whilst we're at it, can we raise the dole, lower the waiting period to nothing and dump this whole centrelink auto debt recovery system.

Oh, and also, gay marriage? Can that be a thing now?

Never seen so many oldies with such juvenile and naive views of politics. "Oh, we thought Pauline was a battler selflessly standing up for true Australians. Turns out she was only in it for herself."

Oh, really? You think the person whose face is on every pamphlet and every HTV and every candidate coreflute and has her name in the actual registered name of the party is in it for herself? You think she'll ignore past loyalty and throw candidates under the bus when its in her best interests? How did you only notice this about her now?

Feeling no sympathy for any of them even after they were arsed from the party because firstly they're still so juvenile even on the other side (the old woman being so petty about Pauline and singing that dumb song) and secondly because they willingly joined the racist party so gently caress'em. Glad that they handed such juicy dirt to the ABC and I hope they'll continue to be a thorn in PHON's side.

Back to our regular scheduling. NTATA is doin his thang

Sydney Mining Homosexual posted:

Tony Abbott has criticised the Turnbull government’s deal with the Nick Xenophon Team to pass the first stage of its company tax cuts, voicing his opposition to “horse-trading”.

Abbott also said that, despite the desire to occupy the “sensible centre”, articulated by Malcolm Turnbull on Saturday, the Liberal party needed something to fight for.

Malcolm Turnbull has rejected Abbott’s critique, saying on Tuesday his government stands by its record of negotiating measures through the Senate.

On Friday the government passed company tax cuts for companies earning up to $50m a year with support from One Nation and the Nick Xenophon Team, the latter secured with a deal that included $260m worth of one-off payments for pensioners.

The deal included measures such as fast-tracking a solar thermal plant in South Australia, a study of a gas pipeline connecting the state with the Northern Territory and a new national energy policy.

Abbott said, “You should never agree to do something that is wrong to get something that is right” – although he conceded he hadn’t examined the details of the deal with Xenophon.

The former prime minister said he was “very cautious about horse-trading”.


“In the end you’ve really got to go to the Senate and say support this on its merits and do not ask us to do something which is wrong in order to get something which is right,” he told Sky News on Monday evening.

The deal with Xenophon included providing one-off payments of $75 to single people and $125 to couples receiving the aged pension, disability pension or parenting payment to help pay for rising electricity costs, despite the fact the government plans to cut the recurring clean energy supplement.

“We all want to be in the sensible centre, we all want to be part of club sensible, but you’ve got to have things that you are fighting for,” Abbott said.

Asked about Abbott’s comments at a press conference on Tuesday, Turnbull said the government stood by its record in the Senate and it had been making the “right deals”.

“To secure passage of legislation through the Senate we need the support of the crossbench, if Labor and the Greens oppose it,” he said. “So we’ve been successful in that – we’ve demonstrated we can achieve the passage of our agenda through the Senate.”

Turnbull listed numerous measures “which we had been unable to get through in the previous parliament” that had since passed, including reintroducing the Australian Building and Construction Commission, the registered organisations bill and childcare reforms.


“We’ve now succeeded in securing ... tax cuts for businesses up to turnovers of $50m, employing ... more than half of the Australian workforce,” he said. “We’re delivering, we’re governing, we’re proving that, if you’re prepared to negotiate, you can get things done in the 45th parliament.”

On Friday Abbott hit out at senior members of his own government over the failed China extradition treaty, saying ministers should spend less time trying to trash critics and get on with governing.

Abbott has been increasingly vocal in establishing points of difference between himself and Turnbull.

In February he outlined a sweeping conservative manifesto for the next federal election, declaring the Coalition needs to cut immigration, slash the renewable energy target, abolish the Human Rights Commission and gut the capacity of the Senate to be a roadblock to the government’s agenda.

The intervention was blasted as “self-indulgent” and “destructive” by his former conservative backer Mathias Cormann.

So Abbott says not pure enough and Towelcum hits back with 'lol, at least we can pass poo poo nub'

Good government starts here :toot:

:getin::siren:
Queensland Opposition Leader Tim Nicholls has flatly denied claims of a secret deal between the Liberal National Party and One Nation.

The ABC's Four Corners program on Monday night aired what it said was a recording of Pauline Hanson's chief of staff James Ashby saying he'd struck a deal with Mr Nicholls' chief of staff for the two conservative parties to rein in attacks on each other.

"I have an agreement with the Liberal National Party, I've made a commitment to them ... that we will not go out there and slag them off for the sake of slagging them off," Mr Ashby said during the secretly recorded phone hook-up.

"But I reminded him that if he doesn't (honour) the agreement, we'll have plenty of ammunition on their candidates, which pulled his head in."

But Mr Nicholls took to Twitter after the program to label the claims as "absolute crap".

In a statement to AAP Mr Nicholls said his chief of staff had no dealings with Mr Ashby.

"My chief of staff has never met and doesn't even know James Ashby," he said.

"As I have said consistently the LNP will not be entering into a coalition with One Nation and there are no deals to be done."

NSW ALP have managed to broken clock into something that is actually a good idea. So of course it will die without drastic changes. My prediction is that unvaccinated children will be used as live bait for greyhounds.

The ABC posted:

Childcare centres catering to unvaccinated children will not be allowed to open in NSW under a new bill proposed by Labor, with Opposition health spokesman Walt Secord pointing out that vaccination levels in parts of the state are below those in Africa.

Labor said it planned to amend existing laws to ban people from setting up childcare centres and family day care specifically for children who are not immunised.

Mr Secord said the changes were needed to plug a loophole in current legislation.

High Court to give decision on Bob Day


The question of how to fill the long-vacant South Australian Senate seat left empty by Bob Day could be answered within days as the High Court hands down its decision.

Senate President Stephen Parry told parliament on Thursday the Court of Disputed Returns would hand down its decision on Wednesday at 10.15am.

The seat has been vacant since last year after the Family First senator resigned to deal with his collapsing building business, but there are questions about whether he was validly elected in the first place, and how the vacancy should be filled.

Mr Day's eligibility is being challenged on the grounds he may have directly or indirectly benefited from the commonwealth through a lease arrangement relating to his Adelaide electoral office.

Under section 44 of the constitution, a member or senator can be disqualified where there is "any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any agreement with the public service of the commonwealth".

Former Labor senator Anne McEwen, who lost her seat at the July federal election, is a party to the case, given it could open the door for her return to parliament if he is disqualified.
