Rogue former Queensland LNP MP George Christensen has abandoned his plan to retire from ­parliament at the May 21 election and will run instead as a One ­Nation candidate. Which seat is not yet announced (he was in Dawson).

Hey does anyone else remember people taking the piss out of Howard because he lived at home till his 30s or some poo poo

In any other world, Howard would have been the weird uncle who worked in the mail sorting room, never moved out of his parents' house and, during family gatherings, you'd make sure he wasn't left alone with children.

Instead, we let him lead the country for a decade.

Howard was also the federal Treasurer for 5 years and deputy leader under Fraser who introduced a bunch of free market policies that have hosed us over to this day

Embarrassing in the moment, but everyone forgets random poo poo, and I bet you for the past few weeks he's been memorizing a lot of numbers relating to their policies.

Wish there was a fraction of the beat up every time a politician "can't recall" something actually scandalous.

It was finding RATs and the price of RATs after the whole open for business wait no one can actually find RATs debacle. I think he said Jen went and got them. Then he went and got them (he sat in the car while his driver went and got it). I think, I wouldn't trust my memory.

Trades hall door knockers were getting "silly albo" all last night while speaking to punters. They were outdoors "touching grass" as you put it.

An enterprise agreement is the document containing negotiated outcomes for a workplace. It contains a lot of information. Being across this information is important so as not to look a fool or have your meeting derailed by people interrupting you.

maybe this is the "melbourne bubble" thing but what the hell is a trades hall door knocker? wouldn't it be more apt to knock on a door that isn't a trade hall?

just think it's pretty ironic that some union dude is like "hell yeah, our union guys are definitely touching grass" where the unions did the "change the rules" campaign prior to the last federal election and I am sure we can all agree that the unions collectively in this case were not "touching grass" at all.

what proportion of australian workers are even in unions these days?

it seems the reason there are no rentals in regional anywhere is because all the houses are up for sale for inflated rates to people fleeing the city, and it's annoying to sell a house with tenants in it. so the landlords are just costing the lost rent into the asking price and kicking the tenants out so the house stays inspection-ready at all times. where do the tenants go? who cares

They're not talking to union members. They're election door knockers talking to people in Chisholm which is a swing seat. I'm not sure what membership means, I was referencing having to address a large pool of people and feedback from people doing election work. You're working harder than Waleed to say it's not true that the gently caress ups cut through. Albanese looks like an idiot in the footage.

I went to an actu pre-election meeting and said change the rules was stupid and I didn't understand what it was about. Got a super defensive reaction and no further invites lol. It was dogshit and nobody cared. I don't even know what the actu campaign is this time, probably something equally obtuse.

hanson announced that george christensen is running for the senate as third candidate on the one nation ticket in qld so it's not at all a serious attempt and is obviously just so he can get the $100k "resettlement allowance" that mps are entitled to if they are disendorsed (for reasons other than misconduct) or lose re-election (even if they run for a different seat or the other house of parliament)

To be fair the actu have been poo poo for a while and it's full of wonks. Trades hall are better since they focus on electorates and do grass roots things like talk to people. They're the ones that get all the firefighters and nurses out spruiking for Dan for instance.
