Quantum Mechanic posted:Electorate MPs do a few things but primarily they're a a sort of customer service layer for the government - they refer issues that constituents are having with Federal services to the relevant Minister or Department. They also lobby in Parliament for the needs of their electorate and often also work on committees on policy areas they're interested in. They're also local dignitaries and attend community events and meetings. Thanks, would be nice to see some sort of accountability. How can he go to the gym or ride multiple times a day. Geeze.

Toyota Australia has hitched its wagon to Melbourne’s boom in high-rise living with plans for a massive four-tower apartment project over its dealership just outside the CBD. The proposed development – with more than 1000 apartments earmarked for residents and student accommodation – has taken a step forward, winning endorsement from Melbourne’s city council this week. That backing will add weight to the plan which now goes to the state government for a final decision.

So they'll scrap work for the dole and replace it with work on pipelines. Housing affordability will be solved because young people will live in the spare pipes. Checkmate socialists.

Any problems with the towers would reflect negatively on the brand after all.

It would pay for itself instantly because it would be your mates getting the contracts and they'll give you a sweet job to supplement your govt pension when you retire as minister. Ohhh, you meant for the taxpayer lol.

Halo14 posted:Thanks, would be nice to see some sort of accountability. How can he go to the gym or ride multiple times a day. Geeze. Theoretically that accountability is from elections - if his electorate don't like his performance, they won't re-elect him next time. There's a whole host of reasons that doesn't work, of course, but it'd be nice if we had some form of recall election. I've honestly had Green MLCs and Senators tell me that their preselection is their accountability to the party - Senators are re-elected every six years and MLCs every eight. Part of the reason I'm such an evangelist for Hare-Clark is that not only are candidates competing against other parties, they're also kind of competing against each other, and occasionally you will see someone leapfrog their party's list. Lisa Singh did it in Tasmania last election. It means you can still vote with your principles while turfing out an incompetent or odious MP - you don't have to swing between parties to get a better grade of MP.
