Shorten knows how to back a winnerquote:A woman will replace former Labor veteran senator Stephen Conroy in Canberra, but the selection process has been engulfed by a factional brawl within the Victorian right of the party.

Lid posted:The ABC has been told Labor leader Bill Shorten is backing Ms Kitching but that has dismayed many in the Victorian right faction, who believe her links with the scandal-ridden HSU could damage the federal party. Why is that an issue? The liberal led media will just find another reason to smear and attack the new senator. The ALP and Shorten shouldn't be afraid of being associated with unions or anything else that their enemies don't approve of.

Labor and the Greens are pushing for a free vote, I think so far only Joyce, Christensen and Ian Goodenough have openly said anything against that since the plebiscite died. Goodenough's argument against gay marriage was that it would destroy the terms 'mum and dad' and 'ladies and gentlemen'. Cleretic fucked around with this message at 09:48 on Oct 13, 2016 |

My solution is simply to ban the institution of marriage and make everyone common law or nothing at all. Retroactively invalidate all marriage certificates. Equality, yo. After all they seem to be totally ok with the concept of divorce so really what's the issue?

Members of Victoria's Chinese community have been circulating thousands of flyers accusing the Safe Schools program of stealing their children's culture, in a Liberal-aligned campaign aimed at curtailing the anti-bullying program. The incendiary flyer urges the Chinese community to "Stop UnSafe Schools", and accuses the program of promoting "homosexual ideas and practice" and "stealing our children from our own culture". Chinese Liberal Party member, Dan Xie, said he was behind the 15,000 flyers, which have been handed out on streets, in public libraries and railway stations over the past two months.

Tony Abbott has defended Donald Trump and taken a swipe at Hillary Clinton, saying the Republican nominee's positions are "reasonable enough" and his supporters are "not deplorables" but voters simply seeking change in America. Mr Abbott's intervention in the United States election comes as Hillary Clinton's lead over Mr Trump widened to double-digits following the release of numerous historical tapes in which Mr Trump brags that he can get away with grabbing women by the pussy because he is a star.

As most of you know, her Greens opponent in Higgins was Jason Ball - I recently interviewed his campaign manager (http://continuityandchange.libsyn.com/) and as I remember there was Goons involved in that campaign? Something I've always wondered is whether the Greens would gain more ground if Labor was in power. As in, then disgruntled Lefties unhappy with asylyum seeker policy etc would switch over from Labor to Greens. Whereas, at 2016, the overall low Greens swing was a result of people just wanting the Libs to no longer be in power and so voting for Labor.

A grass named after Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce has been recalled after it was found to pose serious health risks to livestock. At the time of its release Barnaby Tall Fescue, or Barnaby Grass as it is more commonly known, was described as "persistent" and "bred in the New England". The fescue was meant to be free of edophytes — a fungus that lives naturally in a plant and can be toxic to grazing livestock. But Wayne Crofts, managing director of distributer Heritage Seeds, said that was not the case. "In early winter one of our farmers who was growing our seed crop detected a case and once we investigated it, it was discovered that the crop contained endophyte in it," Mr Crofts said. "Endophytes occur naturally in some grass seeds, so sometimes they can be very positive for the pasture and sometimes they can have a negative impact. "There are fescues in Australia which have endophytes in them, and farmers do manage them accordingly to reduce the stocks risk or health risk." Farmers urged to contact distributer One hundred tonnes of stock has been sold mainly across New South Wales and Victoria, and some in Western and South Australia. "Through the product recall we've had a small amount of product returned to us, so we suspect most of product was sown earlier in the year, in autumn," Mr Crofts said. "Besides this one case that we've had with our seed grower crop, we haven't had any other cases reported to us." Barnaby Joyce speaks to journalists PHOTO: The grass, named after Barnaby Joyce, is described as "persistent" and "bred in New England". (ABC News: Matt Roberts) Up to 250 farmers have sown the seed. "There's different risks depending on the stock," Mr Crofts said. He said it presented a risk to pregnancies in horses. "We are recommending that those farmers spray those paddocks out and actually sow it with another variety," Mr Crofts said. "When it comes to other livestock enterprises, like lamb or beef, we are suggesting people sow it out, because it does have the endophyte in it. "What it means is those plants might persist for longer, which means they last longer, and over time they could become a more dominant part of the pasture." Work has begun to remediate any paddocks already sown with the fescue. "We encourage all affected farmers to contact us, so we can work together on remediation plans tailored to the individual circumstances of each affected property, " Mr Crofts said. While clearly a serious matter, the Deputy PM himself has managed to find humour at his own expense. "Obviously it causes problems with sheep's feet," he said. "I think there is probably another grass up at Nimbin that's named after me. "You've just got to deal with these things."

She was listening back to it before a phonebank on Tuesday. Sounded pretty good, and even just listening to a bit of it was good. I'm sure some goons were on the Higgins campaign just by its size and momentum. I was with Melbourne Ports next door, don't know of any other goons in either campaign. There's still a teensy bit of animosity towards Higgins in the Ports team, though; they kept stealing volunteers in our electorate.
