why the gently caress do greens voters want Julie Bishop as leader???? I mean I know why but jfc she's terrifyingly competent and would be just as awful as margaret thatcher was, only even more effective at killing poors.

she’s not competent, foreign ministry makes her appear better because it does that for everyone

ehh the system is basically designed to give people opportunities to stall and delay, there are a lot of incompetent lawyers who can do that

I remember reading an argument from a lawyer that this line (from Shakespeare) wasn’t intended for the applause of groundlings but was ironically pointing out that society couldn’t function without lawyers.

I'm sorry, I'm really not picking on you but have to disagree again. Rinehart wanted to pay workers two dollars an hour when she was worth 29 billion aka more money than three generations of Rineharts will ever spend. It's the guillotine for her when the revolution comes.

If this whole thing is because of Sydney Catholics trying to kill off an MP who offered to help a gay daughter then maybe Husar not bad?

that kind of would explain why they went so hard after a single mum

Anidav posted:

My theory is Husar protected a gay daughter and then some Christian staff went to News Corp and pulled some sort of KING RAT on her to teach her a lesson about hiding gay people from Catholic parents?

I mean this new information seems pretty key and explains why no other MP in the opposition has heard of such complaints until now. Not even Shorten had heard 9f all this poo poo before. It just seems like a bunch of concerned ex staffers sided with this mother and fed journalists a bunch of rumours about her to teach her a lesson about daughter meddling.

hmmm

This doesn’t seem right to me because sure Lindsay is an “aspirational” seat but not particularly Bible Belt country compared to say Greenway.

The idea that this is wholly a factional hit doesn’t really make sense after the party spent so much time and effort showcasing her in 2016 (she gave the opening speech at the official campaign launch iirc, which was in her seat).

Having said that, the leaks seem like a way to get her to jump before being pushed because obviously the higher ups know what the internal report is going to find. They’ve leaked the more salacious accusations for which she might be cleared, but the less exciting misconduct is what will get her.
