Title: ALP's Grassroot Screwed Over Yet Again Post by Greens_Win on Feb 1st, 2016 at 8:14pm
Labor factional bosses and union leaders — rather than rank and file ALP members — are likely to choose the candidate for the prestigious Victorian seat of Wills, once held by former prime minister Bob Hawke.
Key points: The preselection process for Wills began on Sunday Peter Khalil likely to be preselected amid influence of union and factional bosses Calls for local party members to have a greater say in selecting MPs This is despite calls across the country for local party members to have a greater say in selecting members of parliament. Labor leader Bill Shorten, who has been bedevilled by poor polls, has refused to intervene in the process, even though he has previously said the party desperately needs greater transparency. The seat in Melbourne's northern suburbs has the largest Labor membership of any Victorian seat, but is now under threat from the Greens, who hold the neighbouring seat of Melbourne. The two-step preselection process began on Sunday and will finish on Wednesday. Critics within the party have pointed to the Wills preselection process — triggered by the impending retirement of long-term MP Kelvin Thomson — as emblematic of the way factional powerbrokers trade influence and votes to install their acolytes while ignoring the party's members. In the early stages of the preselection battle, late last year, the frontrunner was long-time local numbers man Mehmet Tillem, a former Federal senator who has developed a strong network of local branches loyal to him, and is backed by party heavyweight and factional player Senator Stephen Conroy. The prospect of Mr Tillem succeeding Mr Thomson was greeted with horror by many in the party, who believed that the election of a figure so closely associated with cynical Labor machine politics would send voters in the southern half of the electorate fleeing to the Greens. more : http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-01/factional-union-bosses-likely-to-decide-outcome-of-wills-vote/7130432 |

Labor appeal to the cry baby narrative....the self pity of the mediocre who refuses to pull himself up by the bootstrap.
Greens appeal to the overly emotional narrative....the fake moral outrage and whirring emotional turmoil that goes on in the mind of someone with attention deficit disorder. they appeal to the twittersphere....people who can only maintain focus for 15 seconds and wont read anything more then a 20 word tweet. Both are coming from a position of low consciousness. Both do not recognise the importance of "contribution" as the highest level of human achievement. Both greens and labor come from a "scarcity" mentality. Labor believe that there is a scarcity of success and that all successful people are trying to step on someones head. greens believe there is a scarcity of resources and that everyone else (ie except themselves) should live in a mud hut and stop using up the resources the greens want to selfishly hog. Both parties are in a "surviving, not thriving' mindset. of course, they will do well at the ballot box as a large % of the population also have a mental dysfunction and so will chose to "vibe" with their negative and neurotic narrative . ;) ;) |

Factions will destroy Labor from the inside
Labor's latest crop of festering messes can be traced back to its factional system, which rewards patronage and shady deals. http://www.theage.com.au/comment/andrews-must-reach-past-factions-to-rescue-labors-fortunes-20151110-gkvvhd.html Labor's grassroot can no longer put on the act of passive victims. You people are part of the problem, and is why your party is on it's way out. Where is the grassroot outrage. All there is so far is deflection from a labor supporter slash troll. |

Alevine, I understand you as a labor supporter, don't like discussing dirty deals within labor that decreases grassroot power within the party.
If you are not going to post on topic, how about starting another thread and then trolling that one and not this one. Consider your trolling here is a bad look for labor supporters. |

Wills preselection: Candidate asks Labor's national executive to intervene to ensure woman picked
One of the candidates vying to be Labor's pick for a federal seat in Melbourne is calling on the party's national executive to intervene and ensure a woman is preselected. A factional deal allowed former national security adviser Peter Khalil to win the first round of voting on Tuesday for Labor's preselection in the seat of Wills, with 224 votes. The party's Public Office Selection Committee is expected to endorse Mr Khalil today. But local councillor Meghan Hopper, who is also running for preselection, said Labor had promised to ensure that 40 per cent of Labor seats were held by women. She has written to the party's national executive asking it to step in. "I'm asking the national executive to consider intervening in this situation to ensure that it's not another bloke, that we do have a woman representing this seat and that we do start meeting our affirmative action quotas in Victoria," she said. The most likely beneficiary would be Anna-Maria Arabia, who works as an advisor to Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and finished third in the preselection's first round with 142 votes. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-03/labor-executive-called-to-preselect-woman-for-federal-seat-wills/7135238 |

Typical greens terrorist, you are. You support Hamas and its clear objective of destroying Israel, and instead try to label a democracy as a dictatorial fascist regime. Pathetic. Everyone knows that the only way to a solution is to rid the world of Hamas. Get rid of Hamas and the result is the restoration of progressive politics in Israel, And a chance at peace. And yet you support them educating children to kill Jews. How completely disturbing that you support terrorism. The difference between me and you. I despise this Israeli government but recognise Israel is a democracy and the only way to have people vote for a left government again is to rid the ever tiresome threat from Hamas. Hence Hamas needs to go. On the other hand, Hamas is no longer democratically elected and just decided to extend its own rule for their own purpose to try and fullfill their charter and get rid of Israel. Another note: you use examples of a person with an INDIVIDUAL OPINION and denounce Israel government who's policy is NOT to get rid of the notion of a Palestine state. Yet the group who's CHARTER explicitly states destroy all Jews you call freedom fighters and openly support. Truly pathetic. |
