thought that might be the case.

interesting pollie.
i agree with some of what he says, and disagree with other stuff.

he is probably a good example of our system working. an independent with a clear view point. having one vote doesnt allow him to dictate anything but he can have influence. (having said that there is a strong feeling he only got in because of the name of his former party.)
 
Indonesian President Widodo won't be swayed in his country's barbaric act of shooting humans dead

[quote]Lambie is one of two Aussie politicians worth listening to. Great comedy value.[/quote]

I have heard that Ricky Muir from the Motoring Enthusiasts Party is one of the few politicians to be sympathetic and eager to learn of the plight of refugees held the Maribyrnong Detention Centre.

Like Lambie, he is one to watch!

We wouldn't like another country trying to tell us how we should and shouldn't penalise people here.

Whilst I don't necessarily disagree with their sovereign rights that is not the point being made. The Indonesian law states that an appeal for clemency should be considered with all the facts available by the President as the last resort. The point being made is that he didn't do that ( allegedly) and received and looked at nothing more than a list of names and some scant details.
