    Pauline Hanson has been rattling a few cages in the last few days.....as a result Lydia Thorpe has been suspended for the last sitting day.

    The poor thing, my heart breaks for her, it's a tough life.

    She's forced at gunpoint (at least that what it seems like) to live in a colonised Australia that she clearly hates, all while earning at least two hundred thousand a year (plus whatever allowances she can scam) off the taxpayer for achieving bugger all other than making an arsehole out of herself at any given opportunity, and getting free publicity for it due to the stupidity of the media who always play right into her hands.

    The ones I really feel sorry for are her kids because they have no choice, and the people that voted for her because they actually had a choice and chose her.

    In the voter's defence, if there is such a thing as a defence for voting for the greens, she didn't show her true colours until she had to swear on the bible and then it was too late, she knows she will never be re-elected, does not care.
    I think we need an overhaul of how this jumping ship is handled, it's a tough one though as the party directly involved would nearly always seek a by-election on any seat a rogue occupied and depending on circumstances the opposition as well, miss Payman is on an empire build, if she plays the crowd right she might survive another election as well. Interesting times.

    Yeah, I thought about it after I posted and in reality the voters probably voted for the Greens (equally as pointless) and not Lydia Thorpe individually. We all just had the good fortune that she was one of their candidates and they got in.

    It was mentioned on the radio this week by someone, something like that if they stand down from their party they should forfeit their senate seat and whoever is next in line for the party should get it. That would certainly stop some of the crap that these attention seekers go on with.

    I had to laugh at princess Payman's rant at Pauline Hanson when she said that she was in her head. Watching her meltdown, racist accusation onslaught I thought, I know who's in who's head and it certainly isn't you in Pauline Hanson's.

    Its a little known fact that Ms Thorpe also owes the ATO 55k as well as a declared bankrupt to the tune of 700k....so how the fuck does someone with a income of $4493 per week or 233600k per annum along with all the perks get these debts waived? You or i get hounded to death if you owe the ATO anything and in fact get hit with provisional tax.

    G'day,
    she sounds a bit like that M.T. Green chic in the U.S.A. All mouth and no action.
