Quote:No, you support the rule options that YOU like.
Great insight there Longy. Got any other litle gems for us?
Quote:I see nothing at all wrong with the first 6 elected getting 6 year terms.
What about broken promises? What about the two senate resolutions? What about knowing what rules are going to apply?
Quote:It seems quite fair and reasonable.
Did you read my previous response to this? If you did, you do not appear to have comprehended.
Quote:You dont see other senators having a hissy fit about it.
You mean all those Labor and Liberal Senators who voted to break their promise? You are right. They are being remarkably tight-lipped about it, wouldn't you say Longy?
Quote:Your 'media asleep' claim has been slaughtered by Gandalf so I wont repeat his excellent work.
No it hasn't. You are as confused as he is. You always are on issues of electoral reform.
Quote:You have but ONE problem. YOU think it is a massive issue, but absolutely no one else in the entire country agrees.
Ah, I see you have decided to share in Aussie's confusion. First Gandalf. Then Aussie. What next, you will post Unforgiven's dead horse?
Would you like me to point out the people who disagree, one by one? Or will you concede upfront that your tongue was a few steps ahead of your brain?
Quote:In a DD half the senators will end up with 3 year terms. They all stood for election knowing that.
They all stood for election knowing that the recount method would be used to allocate six year terms. Labor and the Coalition changed the rules after people voted. Do you think that is fair Longy?
