Political donations and the like

Post by Pies4shaw »

This is not a party-political issue - I defy anyone to pretend that the LNP is any(better or) worse than the ALP on such matters. Nevertheless, when the Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition feels the need to refer himself to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission, it's certainly a matter that calls for its own thread.

Agreed. Sack em all, I'll take over in a 1 part state as president for life.

All politicians, federal, state and local gov, will be put to work in health facilities of all kinds, performance management will consist for them of one strike and you're shot in the head.

The nations capital will alternate between Las Vegas and Port Douglas during winter and some place yet to be determined during summer. Canberra will be bulldozed and it's populace relocated to manus Island.

I'll think up some more policies latter, I'm leaning toward compulsory personal hygiene and responsibility courses for all tertiary humanities students.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
