but who's private property rights would Midsy be infringing against by being an MP with dual citizenship?
No-one's, but that's not relevant to the question. I see you are channelling your inner Cathy Newman for a gotcha moment!

Why isnt it relevant? Midsy's rights are being infringed for no reason.

*smile* argument.

I'm born and bred Melbourne but have lived in London for the last decade. Married an English girl and had a couple of kids. Took out British Citizenship and got a British passport for ease of travel around Europe for work.

Are you telling me I couldn't represent a constituency when I return to the area I grew up and lived for 20 years...?
So you want to vote in 2 countries? Very British Midsy, if I do say.

Why not...? I have a vested interest in who is leader of both countries. What difference does it make?
 
Jeez l hope people (Voters) aren't relying on these Muppets to get them out of a hole ..All governments can sod off as far as om concerned....
 
Adam Bandt is a toe rag, the Pauline Hanson of the Greens. His comments on the new Senator Jim Moran were typical of his nasty little mind.


“Mr Bandt said Senator Molan was 'a coward' for refusing to apologise.
'When you share white supremacist videos and then you justify it by saying 'Oh, I'm doing it to stimulate debate', and that is the line that came out of his office, you are a coward, you are a complete coward,' he said.
'If there was a proper inquiry, in an independent inquiry into the war in Iraq in Australia, like there has been in other countries, I think you would find Jim Molan would probably be up for prosecution rather than praise for his role in the atrocities in Fallujah.'”

no comment on the videos Molan posted?

on a different topic it is good to see Joyce upholding the sanctity of marriage.....

I believe they were videos of “gang attacks” in Paris. But because Britain First also posted them it seems anyone who posts videos of “gang attacks” are white supremescists.....

But why don’t you give your opinion?

And on a different topic I’m dumbstruck that there’s 2 women out there who’d have sex with Barnaby....

they weren't posted as random gang attack, Britain First's posts were shared, at least 1 of which had a title aimed to incite hate against Muslims, and at least one of the videos was misleading purporting to show a Muslim, or Muslim gang attacking someone when the video showed a fight after a bike accident.

my opinion, people need to pay attention to who's stuff they are sharing, and they should look into the legitimacy of videos. it shows at the least terrible judgement, but i would think there was a motive behind sharing the videos and it wasnt to start a discussion around fighting in the community. if he wanted to do that he would not have needed to share a video from a racists british mob showing fighting in europe, there would be plenty of home grown examples. Australia is full of dumb people ready to take any bait to fuel their hatred of Islam, there is a post going around purportedly showing a melbourne beach that is banning bikinis, dogs, pork and alcohol to appease Islamic sensibilities, there are so many obvious flaws in the poster, there are many comments pointing out the flaws but yet dumb people keep falling for it.
someone who has his military history and is now in politics should no better.

Sorry, on my phone, hard to write out detailed response.

Can't recall a more petulant, self indulgent and selfish rant.

No, me neither. Poor old Barnaby keeps trying to suggest that he's not the one being hurt but the innocent women are being hurt. Wafer-thin deflection attempt. Total bull. He is the one being hurt, as it should be. Heard from sources in his electorate that his family want him to go down. As for his new squeeze, she knew well the rules of the game from the very start (she even tried to smear Tony Windsor, a legend in my book, with suggestions of affairs during campaigns against him when she was BJ's adviser)..

Being exposed for the dodgy bastard that he is. I'm loving it.

But, he had to respond to Turnbull's speech, which basically said the Nats have to punt him ASAP. It was a pathetic response, but he's got nothing.

A stroke of good luck that Barnaby's floozy will get maternity leave on her $190,000 a year job >:( >:( >:( >:(

The free new townhouse in Armidale and free accom in Canberra are good little lurks too. Doing it hard
 
Barnaby and every many other pollie (Telmo Languiller and Don Nardella just last year) will always find each and every lurk and perk.

Yes on struggle street that's for sure!!

The old bull charged us tax payers for 50 nights of expenses when Parliament WASN'T sitting while in Canberra in 2017. The new love of his life lived in Canberra in 2017!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Not hard to work out what he was up to.
