If you are totally honest and not into double standards, you have to admit that your comment applies to about 90% of all pollies in parliament.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Hoping everybody here has realised by now that Liberal and Labour parties are actually corporations listed on the Exchange?

Both are sitting in office unlawfully, and in total violation of our Constitution.

You are all free to vote for Independants at the election, unless you want 4+ more years like the last two; please yourselves.

And which part of the constitution would that be Dyso? And for future reference it's three years at the fed level.

Corporations? Exchange? :?

What exchange? All political parties are registered by the AEC. They have paid up members but not shareholders, they aren't registered as corporation.

i'm confused.

I see Scomo is trying to make the election all about military spending. Now is probably a great time for me to jump on talkback radio to voice my desire for Australia to get nuclear weapons.

I'd love our policy to be that we are a neutral country, that doesn't engage in foreign wars, but will nuke any forces attempting to invade us. It'd be way cheaper to maintain than the path we're currently embarking on.

Looks like Labor’s having a big win in the SA state election tonight, turfing out the first-term Marshall government. Ominous sign for the federal Libs.

SA like Victoria is a very pro Labor state where the only time they lose is if they’ve been in too long. Liberal party gets one term and gets ousted again no matter what they do.

Yes, South Australians have always been very sensible people. Mind you, this time it is being described as an"electoral visceration" (see the "SA State Election" thread). I think the real concern for the forces of darkness is that this is the only time during the pandemic that an incumbent State/Territory government has been taken out and shot. It's a very bad turn of events for the Libs.
