Look on the bright side mightyrooster.. Different election admittedly but on Melbourne Cup Day, Kamala Harris will be president of the USA. And Jacks Fur Coat, Carlos Parra and Dr. Voodoo Man will all be crying in their pretzels because the election was rigged (again).Originally posted by mightyrooster View PostWhat no thread for this occasion?

Still waiting for JFC to say who the three blind mice are. I can wait but wonder why he hasn't backed up his comment and named names? Maybe he can't?"Do you expect me to talk"? "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die". -
I voted for Elizabeth Lee purely because she humanised politics when she gave the finger to the journo earlier this week.FVCK CANCERComment

Hahaha I'm in Portugal and am sorta glad I'm away for it (don't have to vote either) as it's essentially a local council election that's stacked towards the left.Originally posted by mightyrooster View PostWhat no thread for this occasion? Very disappointing……
While I'm a progressive, I think the Greens get too much power and there's a reason why governments in other jurisdictions switch between left/right on a regular basis (plays a bit of a balancing act).
Can't say I'm watching this one closely. If we had high quality independents then I'd be keen to see a Clover Moore style ACT government. However most of the independents I've come across are just randoms who are bitter about niche issues.
Jizzy for Canberra? Yeah nah hahahaComment

Shoulda seen how triggered all the rusted on Greens voters got. Like how dare she give some biased journo the bird after they refuse to stop asking the same question over and over. The sassy face was awesome too...10/10 effort there

An absolute waste of Tax Payers money having a legislative assembly of 25 representing what is a Fed Government Department PS enclave of less than 500k - base remuneration is $ 188,798 for the ACT AssemblyOriginally posted by mightyrooster View PostWhat no thread for this occasion? Very disappointing……
Base remuneration of $ 188,798 plus Additional remuneration = Total Remuneration- Chief Minister - $ 207,678 - Total Remuneration - $ 396,476
- Deputy Chief Ministers - $ 151,038 - Total Remuneration - $ 339,836
- Minister - $ 132,158 - Total Remuneration - $ 320,956
- Presiding Officer - $ 103.839 - Total Remuneration - $ 292,637
- Leader of the Opposition - $132,158 - Total Remuneration - $ 320,956
- Deputy Leader of the Opposition - $37,760 - Total Remuneration - $ 226,558
Split ACT in half - 1/2 NSW and 1/2 Victoria and create a New Seat in NSW and Victoria in their State Parliaments and only 2 Federal Seats in NSW and Victoria in the Federal Parliament.
Ditto Northern Territory - Create a seat or 2 in South Australia's State Parliament and a seat or 2 only in the Federal Parliament

As for this thread, I just thought we’ve had whinging about Dictator Dan, Aunty Glad and Annastacia Howeveryouspellhername in the past, so why no love (hate) for the ACT?Comment

To me, it wouldn’t have been the same without the facial expression. It added some real feeling to it.Originally posted by ism22 View Post

So the people of VIC and NSW decide what’s best for us locals? We’re not real people with our own issues and concerns? I don’t think so Salvo. We’re not all politicians living here in beautiful Canberra.Originally posted by King Salvo View PostComment

Ezra Mam should (all things being equal - highly unlikely though) be looking for a job soon enough. One can only hope this is the last I have seen of him. And, with any luck he can take his braindead, inarticulate hypocritical fool with him.Originally posted by rented tracksuit View Post

25 MPs for every 10k voters - We are in electorates at the state and federal level that have over 100k registered voters - so going by the ACT model we should have up to 10 MP's at the state and federal levels.Originally posted by mightyrooster View Post
No way would people accept that number of MP's
People tend to find Canberra as being rather soulless and dull - not sure if it's because it's a compromise/created city or because it's a bureaucratic city full of pollies and public servants
Australia's capital has an long-time and unfortunate reputation for being dull. Percy Deane, secretary to the Prime Minister's department in 1928, said: "The best view of Canberra is from the back of a departing train."
