God. One of the small victories of the spill is not having to see Dutton’s horrifying face all the time. SharkMo looks inoffensive.

Your general point about all the overall juvenile behaviour still stands, of course.

I mean one is an unashamed white supremacist, while the other is a whistleblower on crimes related to a bullshit invasion the LNP government enthusiastically thrusted us balls-deep into. One is obviously more fitting with our values as a country than the other.

I expect they hated Rudd for the same reasons everyone else does. He's a narcissistic peice of poo poo who doesn't give a gently caress about anything beyond his personal circumstances. He'd be a perfect Liberal.

Smart tactic by whoever's representing her though to frame it the way they have and drum up outrage about it/hopefully tons of public support for her. ETA: for clarity, I think Manning is a loving hero and will be pissed off if they refuse her visa, especially on character grounds. But a letter like that does go to everyone who fails the character test and so she was always going to get one, even if they wanted to give her the visa.

Actually I think you'll find visa grants are a very delicate and case by case assesment, to ensure a generous and humanitarian Australia, devoid of personal interests

Could Section 44 exclude Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce from Parliament? Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce have each accepted job offers from new Prime Minister Scott Morrison to serve as his special envoys. The Prime Minister's offers may have been a clever way to keep these two former leaders busy and put their abilities to use. But these jobs may have inadvertently rendered both Mr Abbott and Mr Joyce disqualified from parliament under section 44 of the Constitution. That section disqualifies any MP who accepts a paid job in government that is not a ministerial position. Tony Abbott is now the Prime Minister's Special Envoy for Indigenous Affairs, whereas Barnaby Joyce is Special Envoy for Drought Assistance and Recovery. Special envoys are not ministerial positions. Neither Mr Abbott nor Mr Joyce is part of the Morrison ministry. Their roles are to work with the relevant ministers and the prime minister to advance policy in these respective areas. The precise details of what they will be doing are not yet clear. Section 44 of the Constitution sets out several grounds on which a politician will be disqualified from membership of parliament. Being a dual citizen is only one of them. Dutton's family trust could make him ineligible It's possible Peter Dutton is in breach of the constitution because of a family trust — and if the High Court were to find him so, it would cause yet another headache for the Government, writes Anne Twomey. Another ground for disqualification is set out in section 44(iv). That provision disqualifies anyone holding an "office of profit under the Crown", unless the position is that of a minister. The special envoy roles look suspiciously like offices of profit under the Crown. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-30/could-abbott-and-joyce-have-a-section-44-problem/10179944

Ahahahaha My sweet summer child. Donald Trump has literally admitted to breaching campaign finance laws via twitter, and with Cohen's testimony they have him dead to rights. It does not matter, because Congress will not vote to impeach while the Republicans control it. So tell me more about how the American system is better

Insanely good that the checks and balances on potential breaches of the law by the executive require the same executive to refer itself for investigation. Just a brilliant system.
