On their very first date, in 1991, Michael Coutts-Trotter told Plibersek that he had served almost three years of a nine-year prison sentence on a drugs charge. He'd done time in maximum-security jails like Long Bay, Bathurst and Parramatta ("A genuinely bleak place," he calls it) before ending up in Silverwater and work release. After being paroled in 1988, he spent a year at a Salvation Army rehab facility. Three years after this, still on parole, attending Narcotics Anonymous and not drinking alcohol, he was opening his soul to the woman who would become his wife nine years later.

2013 Federal Election
Re: 2013 Federal Election
What about this moles husband?

Man, I always get great 'next pagers'. High five.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
So then it's OK to hate Mirabella because she's a woman who stands up to Labor women. I hope Plibersek becomes deputy opposition leader because a ticket of her and Shorten might just be the most unelectable opposition in our history, two complete personality duds.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
I thought she was detestable on QandA the other night. So petulant and deflective.
Everyone was being pretty grown up except her and I'm pretty sure I heard this noise come out of her,
'Waaaaaaaaaaaah'

Re: 2013 Federal Election
I honestly thought the same about Rudd and Gillard but here we are. I'm pretty sure Labor supporters thought the same about Abbott but here we are.Froggy wrote: I hope Plibersek becomes deputy opposition leader because a ticket of her and Shorten might just be the most unelectable opposition in our history, two complete personality duds.
Re: 2013 Federal Election
Nah Rudd and Gillard had a good personality appeal and Abbott was only unelectable to the media. Bill and Tanya too people who look down on everyone who slightly disagrees with a holier than thou attitude, moral sanctimony that is a real turn off. It would be highly appealing to the Twitter lefties and facebook numpties who act the same way but the rest if the population would not like it

Gillard had good personality appeal? I've heard it all.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
I think the states with the lowest voter turnout should have their number of seats reduced.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
Don't forget what she was like before she got elected, 5 years or so of morning TV and the same with Rudd so they both had out there a casual 'look' with the punters. Then once they got into office her arrogance went into over drive. Compare Julia with Tanya though and Julia looks like Bert Newton hosting the logies.Madmya wrote:Gillard had good personality appeal? I've heard it all.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
Well because the team you work for would put her in a ministry simply because she doesn't have a penis, that doesn't happen with a Coalition government. They will put the best people in regardless of gender.Hercy wrote:On the other hand it means that the number of women likely to be Ministers out of a cabinet of 20 is down to two.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
How is there a 1.5 million vote gap between HoR votes and Senate votes? Do blank papers count as a non-vote rather than an informal vote?

Re: 2013 Federal Election
Merit indeed. Bronwyn it seems will miss out on her coveted cabinet position and instead be offered the Speaker's chair. We've had female speakers before. Compare Bronwyn with Anna Burke though and Bronwyn looks like David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust.
Re: 2013 Federal Election
At least Ziggy will be able to do the job unlike Anna.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
who said anything about skin colour? The cabinet should be made up of the best performers, not elevating people based on political correct reverse racism\gender because that just leads to the previous 6 years of government and a group of people out of their depth.

Yeah just ask Sophie that bitch had it coming.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
ah Hercy, a lack of women's representation can only mean they are being defied their rightul positions. Let's see how the Labor parties token Aboriginal Senator goes and all the others that it elevates based on nothing more than skin colour. A party of racists and bigots in anyones book.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
Aboriginals can not possibly be better than a white person at representing a constituency so ipso facto any Aboriginal MP must be token
Re: 2013 Federal Election
I bet you they are token. Come on, it's the Labor party.

Re: 2013 Federal Election
poor Hercy, the butt hurt at the election loss is strong in you... not as strong as Vzzzbx who'se gone to lurking since the vote.

Pedantic side note, god forbid it derail the current academic debate: The first use should be Aborigines, the second is aboriginal.Hercy wrote:Aboriginals can not possibly be better than a white person at representing a constituency so ipso facto any Aboriginal MP must be token
Think of aborigine as equivalent to Englishman, and aboriginal as equivalent to english.
It makes sense to say "any English MP" but you would not say "Englishes can not...", you would say "Englishmen can not..."
Re: 2013 Federal Election
Wikipedia suggests that a capital letter should be used and that in any case Aboriginal Australian, Aboriginal people, or Indigenous Australians are more preferred terms, so that's what I'll use from now on.
