the accused Family Court Bomber trial started today For those that don't know this piece of Australian history it's an incredibly harrowing read quote:Leonard John Warwick, 71, is facing the first day of a judge-alone trial before Justice Peter Garling on 24 charges, including four counts of murder.

You Am I posted:I think Ludlam has well and truly burnt out mentally over his experiences in Parliament, so that's none too surprising. Although a cop (ex or current) that's a greenie? That's like expecting an army person to be left wing. I have friends who are army people and very left wing. Just because it's a culture of mostly shitheads doesn't mean every person in there is part of that.

The political career of one of the Liberal Party's newest members, Lucy Gichuhi, is at risk of coming to an abrupt end at the next election. Senator Gichuhi defected to the Liberals in February, making the shock announcement alongside Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who described the Kenyan-born senator as an "inspiration" and a "true Australian success story". But the ABC has been told the party's right-faction has never embraced Senator Gichuhi — a social conservative — and is moving to install Adelaide City Councillor Alex Antic above her on the party's Senate ticket. That would push Senator Gichuhi to the fourth position, which is considered unwinnable. One source told the ABC that if Mr Antic is on the ticket, the former Family First senator would be "consigned to the dustbin".

The thing you need to understand about the Liberal Party, and the reason we don't have many women, is because we choose who we put forward based on merit. And this black woman, well, whilst she's proven herself a good member of parliament, compared to this untested city councillor? Ha, no contest. He clearly has more merit, just look at his skin. Did I say skin?

he Ukrainian government has made an extraordinary intervention on behalf of Turnbull government MP Chris Crewther, arguing a proposed boundary change to his marginal electorate would disadvantage a Ukrainian cheesemaker. Mr Crewther, who first won the Melbourne seat of Dunkley in 2016 by just 1.4 per cent, is fighting the proposed changes. ABC election analyst Antony Green predicts the new boundaries would turn the seat notionally in favour of Labor by a margin of 1.3 per cent. The seaside town of Mornington, in Dunkley's south, is one of the areas slated for removal under the Australian Electoral Commission's suggested new boundaries. Mr Crewther has been urging supporters, including the Ukrainians, to make submissions to the AEC protesting the changes. In a letter to the AEC, Ukraine's ambassador to Australia Mykola Kulinich said he was "extremely concerned" about the proposed changes, and warned that the Ukraine-Australian relationship would "only be strengthened by Mornington remaining within the Dunkley electorate." "I believe that the Ukrainian community in Dunkley will be disadvantaged by separating Mornington from the electorate, where many reside," the ambassador said. "One example is the ever-growing Blue Bay Cheese that has businesses in both Mornington and Frankston. what https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xLUEMj6cwA

hooman posted:Good thing section 44 of the constitution stops foreign governments trying to interfere in our electoral procesbhasdfhjaskf No you see "In discussions with local Ukrainian-Australians and those involved with the friendship group (which includes the ambassador) following the AEC’s proposed boundary changes, I raised that they (local Ukrainian-Australians) may no longer be in my electorate given the proposed loss of Mornington," Mr Crewther told Fairfax Media. "At the end of the day though, Blue Bay Cheese’s and the ambassador’s decision to put in an objection was entirely up to them, off their own concerns about the impact on either their business or upon established relationships supporting the Ukrainian-Australian community. "I cannot force any group or individual to put in or not put in a submission," he said. He said encouraging the ambassador's submission was in no way promoting foreign interference in Australia's political system. "The Ukrainian ambassador making public representations on various issues of concern to the Ukrainian-Australian community, of his own discretion, is not interference by a foreign power, as it is only expressing a viewpoint. Ambassadors do this all the time," "At the end of the day, the AEC or the Australian government make their own decisions on the basis of their own principles and authority. They are under no obligation to take into account the views of ambassadors or representatives of any country." "Espionage or bribing/blackmailing someone (in particular parliamentarians) to represent a particular view is a different story, and would be foreign interference but that has clearly not occurred in this case," he said.

Some of the 11 African athletes who went missing during the Commonwealth Games have been given bridging visas to stay in Australia temporarily. Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has urged the competitors to give themselves up with the visas they were issued for the Gold Coast Games due to expire at midnight on Tuesday. But the head of a service that helps refugees migrate to Australia says some of the 11 have already got bridging visas. "I know some of them have already had interviews with immigration," said David Addington, the chairman of Sydney's Northern Beaches Refugee Sanctuary. "I know that some of them have already been given bridging visas ... so you don't get detained." Mr Addington was not personally involved in the athletes' cases but said he'd spoken to advocates who were. Refugee Advice and Casework Service principal solicitor Sarah Dale told AAP her Sydney legal centre has helped a number of the athletes lodge applications for protection before their Games visas expire. "We have spoken and assisted a number of people who were involved with the Commonwealth Games most of whom are from the African region," Ms Dale said on Tuesday afternoon. When an individual lodges an application to stay in Australia they are usually granted a bridging visa until the government determines whether they are owed protection as refugees. But Mr Dutton's office on Tuesday refused to say if any of the athletes had bridging visas. He urged them to present themselves to Australian Border Force officers. "If people have breached their visa conditions ... enforcement action will take place to identify those people and to deport them if they don't self-declare," Mr Dutton said in Melbourne. One Nation leader Pauline Hanson says the athletes shouldn't be allowed to stay. "I don't believe they have sound grounds. They came here as athletes and they pulled this stunt," she told AAP. "They are being fed these lines by these migration agents and by refugee advocates in this country, telling them what to say and what to do." The missing athletes include five boxers and three wrestlers from Cameroon, two athletes from Uganda and a Rwandan Paralympic powerlifting coach.

Family First officially merged with the Conservatives, Gichuhi decided not to and so became an independent. Then she joined the Libs. I have no idea who would get to replace her if she left parliament.
