Apparently the libs want to do away with by elections. Instead, if an MP resigns or is sacked, they want the party to nominate his replacement. So when an MP gets sacked for corruption, his electorate don't get to decide who will represent them .. scomo will.
What is it with the libs trying to do away with democracy? If scomo doesn't go soon he'll try to turn this country into a fascist state.
It's what conservatives do.
They support authoritarian dictatorships, not representative democracy.
It's always been that way. of course it has......
a bit like Dan the man who has cancelled Australia Day... because shock horror covids.. however its ok if you like cricket or tennis...want to attend a blm protest march...... is this dan sticking his big finger up at Australia Day to appease his radical lefty mates.
...or maybe he is a real communist as bobby suggests...after dealing with China and now no AUstralia Day parade... I am beginning to agree.
but you guys look with dismay
at saving money...
when if a member should die in office they are replaced by a member of the same party without any hue or cry...
Who is Adem Somyurek?
Mr Somyurek was first elected to Victorian Parliament in 2002 and was sworn in as minister for small business, innovation and trade in the Andrews Government in December 2014.
He was suspended and later sacked from Cabinet in 2015, after bullying allegations were made against him by a female member of his staff.
He was brought back into the Cabinet in 2018 after the Andrews Government won its second term in office.
At the time, Premier Andrews welcomed his "good friend" back, saying "he's going to do a fantastic job"
he was done for branch stacking I believe.....he lost his portfolio but what about his job?...
I think he was also sacked from the ALP...
I dont recall any by elections in Vic this year.so he must still be there.
