Julie Bishop is too smart to go for party leader, she'll sit as deputy and happily let the old boys club knife each other for the top job.

Julie Bishop will never be PM. She is too smart to push for leadership right now and even if she wanted to, it would still require a large portion of the Liberal party getting over the fact she is a woman. After two terms of Labor government she would have a chance but then she will be like 70. So on top of the sexism, she has to deal with people saying she is too old for the job. I'd imagine lots of people would use her age as their reasoning to hide that they just don't want a woman running the show.

Opposition leader Luke Foley is under fire for promising to build the new Tweed Hospital on land owned by a developer who has donated tens of thousands of dollars to the NSW Labor party. Mr Foley's commitment comes just days after the government was forced to go back to the drawing board after a widespread community backlash to its chosen site for the hospital in Cudgen, near Kingscliff. In his budget reply speech, Mr Foley said a Labor government would build the new hospital at Kings Forest estate, owned by billionaire property developer Bob Ell. In a bid to wedge the Coalition in the key marginal seat of Tweed, Mr Foley accused the government of delaying the new Tweed hospital "for too long". But the government immediately seized on his commitment, accusing Labor of failing to follow due process and favouring a site owned by a Labor donor. In a fiery question time on Thursday, deputy premier John Barilaro accused Mr Foley of being motivated by historic donations from Mr Ell's company, Leda Holdings, to NSW Labor. "We've got a consultation process happening through the department of health in relation to sites ... but what we've heard this morning from the leader of the opposition is they have already picked a site," Mr Barilaro told the chamber. "I question that Leda Holdings has donated at least $66,000 to the NSW Labor Party. Leda Holdings has donated at least $12,000 to the Queensland Labor Party." Disclosures on the NSW electoral commission website reveal the most recent donation from Leda Holdings was made in 2007, prior to the introduction of laws banning developer donations to political parties. The disclosures also reveal Leda Holdings has donated to the NSW Liberal Party, including a $25,000 donation in 2007. Labor's health spokesman, Walt Secord, accused the government of hypocrisy, after it emerged this week that it was reconsidering the potential for the hospital to be built at the Kings Forest site. "They, themselves, are in the middle of negotiations on the Kings Forest site," Mr Secord said. The state government was forced to reconsider its initial decision to build the hospital at Cudgen, on the far north coast, following a widespread backlash from the local community.

i don't know much about property but i assume most people who own vast enough amounts of land to clear it for a hospital have donated to either party at some point but then again, nsw state party is also going to keep on corrupting. they don't make it difficult do they

I dunno. Depending on how the election pans out I could well envisage Bishop as Opposition Leader just to play to the base. She's too intelligent to think it'll go anywhere but it might top up the nest egg before she waves goodbye and through the revolving door to extreme remuneration in the US, where most of her real friends are. She's from WA, she doesn't owe Easterners a thing. Or not, she might get a better offer before they desperately beg her to front for them.

The Before Times posted:I'm talking about affordable rentals, which it's going to take a while for that knock-on effect to happen (if it does at all, AirBnB seems to be absorbing a lot of the rental market in inner Melb). Mainly I want affordable rentals so I can save a deposit for those post-2020 rock bottom prices. Maybe not an indication of anything major, but my rent has just been reduced again, without my asking. I'm in an NRAS house, so it's automatically indexed to the area, and I'm paying almost $100 a week less than I was two years ago in Perth. It's.. affordable? Ish?

Although local charitable works is undoubtedly important, I've always thought there is value in working on the high-level, long-term fight as well. A single government decision to slash social security or imprison refugees or abolish HECS/HELP could offset the charitable work of hundreds of volunteers, right? It seems that politics is a harder, longer-term struggle, with few short-term results but still one that cannot afford to be ignored.

It seems that politics is a harder, longer-term struggle, with few short-term results but still one that cannot afford to be ignored. Just throwing some ideas out here: Wouldn't funding more independent media be better long term? Like, if the Guardian ever had a broadsheet in Australia (they won't) I could see that having an effect on the political landscape over the long term. Also what about funding politica advocacy/activist groups and not parties. Eg getup! Or a leftwing IPA (there is one or two, but I can't recall their names right now). If they've got well established values / mission they're less likely to shift over time as they're not running campaigns just to get themselves elected (so the risk of self interest is removed by at least one step.) I'm interested in this too, because I let my Greens membership lapse late last year for a number of reasons and would rather put that money elsewhere.
