I live in a suburb, a community of a city, where are my non elected representatives to Federal Parliament?
Your local MP doesn't represent you ... you're kidding yourself if you think s/he does. He doesn't give a crap about you and what you want, s/he only cares what his/her donors want.
Well - they're supposed to, Smith - that's what we pay them for... and that's why, as I said to Warren Mundine today - there is a crying need to make the path to politics difficult and not terribly remunerative, so as to get rid of the hangers-on, party hacks, time-servers, professional politicians with their eye on their current luxury and future retirement with riches - paying double peanuts has only made for fatter monkeys...
Wazza was hanging on Ley in a picture and saying what a beautiful senator she was at The Gathering ... FFS..... the NO campaign putting up Cash and Ley as its 'spokesWOMEN' to oppose the YES naughtiness is as bad as the choices the YES campaign made about is spokespersons...
Who could mistake either for a 'motherhood' figure, like the articulate and intelligent and knowledgeable on the ground and principled Jacinta Price, and as anything but a grasping sheila with her fingers in every pie her job can provide? Brings a whole new perspective to the table in politics that does.... women always do ..... more grasping.....
