I think the last time the Government controlled the Senate was in 2004 under Hayseed, and that was just terrible to experience. Nah, I quite like the current situation. The current Senate has acted sensibly, even though it has not rubber stamped what the Coalition wants.

of course you do... you helped elect what was once PUP members.. didnt you?..

you know the ones that cant stand Clive now they are in for the long term..

then there is the invisible Asian guy... I am sure he turns up to get his pay check.. and as the soul PUP member he makes quite a stand out figure... Cheesy

does anyone remember this guy without the help of Mr Google?.. I doubt it..

of course aussie has his pic up on his wall

its the only way he can remember him

Grin

..

yep we need more like whathisname

running the show.....I cant wait.

If you think you are correct then why not put up an actual ARGUMENT instead of just venting you infected spleen?

Cods, I don't care which Party has Government whether that be the Coalition, Labor, Greens or even PUP. I do not want that Party to have control of the Senate. I like what we have......some people from left field.....ordinary Australians.......in a position that the Government has to convince them (unless the other major Party supports a Government proposal in the Senate) that what they propose is good for the Country.

I've told you before;

When election day comes, don't vote for any incumbent.

It just encourages them.

'It just encourages them.' = = voting for the same 'party politicians', ....election, after election, simply encourages elected pollies to continue being unaccountable to the people who voted them into office.

Dictionary;
incumbent = =
1 (incumbent on/upon) necessary for (someone) as a duty or responsibility.
2 (of an official or regime) currently holding office.

So you're okay with dipsticks like Muir being able to hold the government of the day hostage on less than 0.5% of the primary vote when others secured significantly more votes than him?

Muir has 1/76 of one vote. How does he manage to hold anyone hostage.

and he still picks up the same paycheck.. Roll Eyes

funny that.

what has he done exactly..to make OZ a better place for us all to live in???....

he's blocked any sort of savings to pay off debt that the useless Labor/Green government put us into and allowing for that debt to keep increasing ...

I want a senate to moderate the worst excesses of the government of the day, if we are going to insist on a rubber stamp then it is time to bring an end to the senate.

Okay then, picking up on your cliche......the Government then would need to take the time explaining to said 'puissant' what his butt is and what his 'elbo' is. That will do me.

That is precisely what the Right want.

And they MUST NOT be permitted to have it.

$200,000 a year for .5% of the vote... ??? Cheesy
