Righties love to call Q&A "leftard". They never produce a skerrick of evidence, but that makes no difference.

It's just one of those things they believe, it makes them feel better, the poor old dears.

Every panel member last night except for Sophie was either a Labor or Green supporter. Has the panel ever been stacked with 4 Liberals and 1 Labor/Green?

Ever heard of the Cato Institute, an ultra right think tank? Sue Cato was on the panel.

And I doubt an advertising CEO is a socialist, he certainly didn't sound like one. So rather then 4-1, it was 3-2 to the Libs.

Don't be dishonest. Did you even listen to them speak? Sampson and Cato started to hiss and spit every time Sophie spoke. Sampson even went as far as to say that he wanted the subject of asylum seekers banned from the election because he didn't like the direction it was heading.

She kept lying

the reason asylum seekers shouldn't be an election thing is because its a minor issue compared to other more important issues that should be brought up @ an election.

He left the Liberal party. I am sure you're aware of this?

Anyway, when was the last time QandA had 4 Liberal panellists and 1 Labor/Green?

a life long righty does not suddenly become a lefty just because he left the liberal party .....

anyway, when was the last time Q&A had 4 labor panellists and one lib?

Last night.

There has never been 4 Liberals and 1 Labor/Green. God bless our ABC.

When has there been 4 labours and 1 liberal/green?

What a horrible piece of work she is.

SOPHIE Mirabella can lay claim to a new, but likely unwelcome gift, bestowed yesterday by outgoing federal independent MP Tony Windsor.

Mr Windsor gave the member for Indi “the nasty prize” via an appearance yesterday morning on the ABC TV program Insiders with fellow independent Rob Oakeshott.

His remarks quickly stirred up a frenzy on social media.

Mr Windsor — who announced his resignation from politics just hours before the leadership battle between Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd reached its climax on Wednesday evening — declared Mrs Mirabella would be the person he would least miss in the Parliament.

He then threw his support behind Indi’s independent candidate, Cathy McGowan.

“She (Mrs Mirabella) wins the nasty prize. The people of Indi, just have a look at your representative and see how much better you could do,” he said.

Mr Windsor even offered his help to Ms McGowan’s election campaign, “now that I’ve got some time on my hands”.

Ms McGowan said she was thrilled “someone of national prominence has seen what’s happening in Indi”, but hoped any tit-for-tat remarks wouldn’t distract from the focus of the campaign.

“I’m part of a community movement (Voices for Indi) that has seen what’s been going in politics the past few years, and really wants it to be different,” she said.

“What we’re trying to do is build up respect for representatives and make our issues heard in Canberra.”

Other candidates for the seat of Indi were quick to voice their approval of Mr Windsor’s remarks, despite him clearly throwing his support behind Ms McGowan and not themselves.

Labor candidate Robyn Walsh said Mr Windsor’s judgement was based on “his observations of her performance” after working alongside Mrs Mirabella for many years.

“The whole idea of representative democracy is that you look at the people standing to represent your electorate, and judge which of them is the best for the job,” she said.

“Unfortunately, there are few people in Indi who have tried to work with Ms Mirabella in the past who would disagree with his opinion of her.”

Greens candidate Jenny O’Connor said: “Sophie Mirabella is such a deeply unpopular political figure, it is time for the people of Indi to use their vote to change their representation.

“Even though there are differences in our approach, we (Greens and independents) are all strongly united in wanting to change our representation from Sophie Mirabella to someone who is truly representative of the people of Indi,” she said

Minor? It puts the lives of our Naval and Customs personnel at risk when we have to rescue these people. It puts the entire country at risk when some of these people have been found to carry TB and other diseases previously eradicated in this country. It costs nearly $13m per boat to process everyone on it. The people that do make it alive then take up places on our refugee intake quota, meaning genuine refugees miss out on a better life here and country-shoppers take their place. So far, more than 13,000 have arrived this year already, with more than 40,000 on over 700 boats since Rudd scrapped the Pacific Solution. The annual cost to taxpayers has blown out from less than $100m per year to more than $1.5bn per year.

Yeah, just a minor issue... Roll Eyes
