gently caress i hate parliament

how much of taxpayers money has been spent - disregarding the survey - on letting these dipshits hold their weeks-long circus before passing marriage equality?

This, but for every bill. As if debating bills in the house actually changes anyone's voting intentions. The whole thing is just a giant wankfest for a bunch of self serving fuckheads.

The Australian government has defended a policy encouraging refugees held on Nauru to sever ties with their families – including relinquishing all rights to ever see their children – in order to be considered for resettlement in the US.

The immigration minister, Peter Dutton, said on Wednesday that Australia’s policy would not change but the UN children’s agency and parliamentarians have all urged Australia to uphold international law and the unity of families.

I hope there is a hell because Dutton deserves to spend an eternity there.

Young staffer knocked up, but he was cheating with more than one person, and had been for years. Which, when you think about it, means there were at least three people willing (presumably) to have sex with Joyce. If that isn't impetus for someone to reevaluate their life, I don't know what is.

Someone with Abbot's charisma, Bernardi's grasp of which era they're in and Current Malcolm Turnbull's likability. I don't see him winning a lot of elections. The LNP is spectacularly out of touch, but even they've got to notice that Dutton might be the least likable person in the country.

I'm going to assume they're all willingly living in Tamworth so their judgement is already questionable at best.

Well have you seen any LGBTI people fighting to see other sections of the community denied basic human rights?

Because I would think that's pretty loving telling, right there, about who is the real social advocate.

head of the anticharity commission has been named

quote:

Writing in the Australian in 2014, Johns said: “If a person’s sole source of income is the taxpayer, the person, as a condition of benefit, must have contraception. No contraception, no benefit.”

Appearing on TV with the rightwing commentator Andrew Bolt in 2015, Johns reportedly described Aboriginal women on welfare as “cash cows”. “Look, a lot of poor women in this country, a large proportion of whom are Aboriginal, are used as cash cows, right?” Fairfax Media reported Johns as saying. “They are kept pregnant and producing children for the cash. Now, that has to stop.”
