Yep and we are forever grateful. ;D

Maxine is now chasing cars in the back streets of Melbourne.

she was an embarrassment as an MP. her fabulous ideas included:

MINIMUM 50% representation for women in parliament
MANDATORY 30 mins exercise for all employess each day

she was a worthless twit who after despatching Howard on the basis of a nation-wide swing and nothing more was thrown out by way above the national swing because she was a useless local MP.

Locals complained howard was never there. But neither was Maxine McClueless. One of them however had an excuse. He was PM.

She got a 16% swing to herself in primary votes that election. Pretty sure that's more significant than simply saying it was because of a nation-wide swing.

but then she was slaughtered in a massive swing back which essentially was a personal condemnation of her performance as an MP. she was DREADFUL. and when you think of it, every single one of labors celebrity candidates has been the same.

Peter Garret
Nicole Cornes
Cheryl kernot

Yah, she wasn't very good after 2007.  I'm simply pointing out the fact that she did very much fight an incredible battle in 2007.  You don't get a 16% swing for no reason.

Hmmm, some like a phirric (sp?) victory! ;)

What was the point of her fighting a great fight in 2007, when she did nothing subsequently? I used to drive past her office, and apparently she was hardly ever even there. Yet she got payed.

I wish MY member spent more time in canberra.  that way he couldn't provide fodder for leftards like this:


Quote:

A WA Liberal MP has claimed Australians are unknowingly being converted to Islam by eating Halal meat. In a speech to Parliament yesterday, backbencher Luke Simpkins said most Australians did not know that most of the meat they ate came from animals killed in accordance with Muslim law. “By having Australians unwittingly eating Halal food we are all one step down the path towards the conversion, and that is a step we should only make with full knowledge and one that should not be imposed upon us without us knowing,” Mr Simpkins told Parliament.

The folllowing shows his heart is in the right place, but well intentioned idiocy is still idiocy.

“What is happening is wrong. Too often the minorities in this country are looked after without regard to the majority.”

THAT, was the electorates ONLY focus, in 2007
Liberal blue ribbon Bennelong was DETERMINED to purge Howard from their lives at ANY cost

(... even if it required electing a Labor member, for a term)

Mission accomplished - the electorate returned to it's "natural state" in the following 2010 Federal Election

Howard lost, not this weirdo winning. Howard was on the nose, mcClueless was nothing more than the other name on the ballot. 3 years later there was no Howard to hate and she had to stand on her own two political feet. look how that worked out.

cods, Cornes never held a seat IIRC, she was just a candidate for an SA (don't remember which) at the 2007 election. Maxy needed Green preferences to get in, Howard won on the primary vote.

Yes, the other name who also happened to gain a 16 point swing, 10 of that coming from the Greens.  That in itself shows she ran a very strong campaign in 2007.  Yes, she ended up being hopeless. But that doesn't take away from her triumph of removing Howard.

yes, she was useless. and her electorate confirmed it by way of apologising for dumping Howard by dumping McClueless.

She came, she said that which others were too chicken to say and, if anything, showed that a woman who ran a fish shop, had more business sense than anyone sitting on the red benches, those who, if not liars themselves, applaud their unprincipled leaders.

Problem was that Pauline hadn't the education to carry her further.
