Lol, what a load of absolute twaddle. You think corruption doesnt happen in private business?

What about that 'new power' in Australian politics?

What shall we call it?

street politics
politics of strident demand
emotional politics
mass hysteria politics
sheep herding politics
give us what we demand or we'll make you look bad politics

Aquascoot had a point....

I'll say it again - we do need a new power in Australian politics - just not that kind or the kind we've suffered under for so long now... party politics and its illegitimate offspring.

What were Brittany Higgins' policies again? Give in to the demands of an uninformed mass..... or we'll have the media belt you about the ears...

Corruption occurs. However, there are mechanisms by which it is held in check and cleaned up in civil society. If there was a federal ICAC things would be a lot better in Government. Roll Eyes

... and waiting in the wings, branch-stacked/sycophantic Labor gleefully rubs its hands together in the realisation that their dream of a society controlled absolutely by their feminised policies is near fruition...... then we shall hear the thunder..... all democratic of course - every Labor personage is either a woman now or one who unquestioningly follows the party line about women ..... stuff the men .....

No details from Webster - she can't be protecting her own privacy then..... without facts nobody can judge.

Of course it's a toxic environment... we don't need some new feminist jihad to tell us that or to fix it.... while making political capital out of it. We don't need more women in Parliament either - we need more real people who know enough and are decent enough to serve the country on $50k pa.

Political office should be a form of National Service.... not a nice little earner for life.... and I don;t care who or what the Few Good Men And Women are.....

Interesting...A new power has risen in Australian politics — and it's not coming quietly Shocked

All this mention of women as the emerging power, citing examples from here and overseas, yet no mention of Nicole Flint - harrased by left wing extremists and censored by the ABC, of Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, an Aboriginal woman speaking up for the abused women and children in remote communities, of Cheron Long, one of those women who went to Canberra to tell of the problems in her community and was ignored.

These women don't suit the rabid feminist narrative and so are ignored in puerile outpourings like this one. Roll Eyes

The ABC has apologised to Alice Springs deputy mayor Jacinta Price for airing multiple radio segments that accused her of spreading “racist vitriol” and “hate speech”.

Subsequent court action taken by Ms Price against the public broadcaster has also been settled between the parties.
In the apology the public broadcaster included the damage caused by using information from a media release issued by the Coffs Harbour and District Local Aboriginal Land Council.

“The ABC understands that the Land Council has withdrawn and apologised to Ms Price for statements contained in the media release which it accepts were false and defamatory, and which caused hurt and distress to Ms Price and her family,” the apology said.

It worked in the schools - it worked in the houses of higher learning - it worked in the public service and every other soft seat job - why would constantly whining about 'evil men' not work in politics?

Do you really want people who are so shallow that they will march in their hundreds and thousands and try to create of one incident a panandric issue, to be running your country - given their proven track record of violence, vile oppression and abuse of law?

An excellent idea. There's no reason it cannot be done, it happens at mines and other workplaces every day. At this point I would not go so far as to make PH dry, but bar staff enforcing RSA rules and spot checks by AFP to make sure would be a wake up call to these twats.

I agree with the drug and alcohol testing for parliamentarians. As long as they are at Parliament, they are expected to be working even when they are nominally off duty.

These people could be summoned to one of the chambers to vote on legislation at any time. The last thing they should be doing is reporting to the chambers to vote on important legislation, with a BAC that would render them unfit to drive a vehicle.

Bob Hawke had the right idea. He was well known for his consumption of beer, but he abstained from alcohol during his time in Parliament.

We can only hope, given the utter poverty of real leadership in politics, that this 'new power' will simply die down and quietly die off before an utter disaster is visited on Australia via governance by raving mobs with no control over their own emotions, but lead along without a single thought for the actual consequences of their proposals and actions, but certain that they will feel a 'just revenge' has been exacted.****

Given the history of the rise in power of women in the West and the actual outcomes on the ground from their exerting TOO MUCH control and power in certain areas such as family, education and so forth - nothing worse could possibly happen to us all.... apart from subjugation by the Mad Mussos or some other rabid mob.*

Feminists ARE the Neo-Nazis and Neo-Stalinists (etc) of today - and even the feminised nurse's union

(one of the sacred cow unions of course on salaries*** - unlike those who actually work for a living and are thus of a 'lesser class'**)

are behaving as Bolsheviks in seeking to oust the NSW state Labor leader... talk about out of control power and striving for power....

Do you really want this kind running your country for your sons and grandsons?*

Sorry - these are out of order - bear with me ....

* Nope - prefer to keep the nation as it is, thanks... AFTER we restore true and genuine Equality ...

**children of a lesser god??

*** Ken Bruen got it right - if someone says he's on wages, he works for a living... if he says he's on salary, he doesn't.

**** purest psychopathy without any remorse or empathy... do you really want that to run MY nation for my son and grandson - or even for my daughter and grand-daughters?
