Couldn't believe Malcom visit last week with the GST Tribunal screwed another 1.9 Billion of Wa.With WA's economy have 16 quarters of negative growth.A four year recession.And the other bloke Bill S not saying a work also.

Malcolm might as well have brought a bag of lemons with him. He's a lemon salesman. He's got a face I would love to hit. Our politicians are useless as tits on a bull. This country is crying out for a Donald or even better Rodrigo "The Punisher" Deturte. I'm a regular visitor to the Philippines he is a f**king legend over there. Putting drug pushers where they belong - 6ft under, wiping out ISIS terrorists that have tried forging a foothold in the south of the Philippines and throwing corrupt politicians and armed forces personal from foot soldiers to Generals behind bars.

Just a couple of weeks ago sent a task force to the city of Ozamiz in the Mindanao area and gunned down the Mayor and his wife and his security staff who tried to resist. Also arrested the deputy Mayor. All running a drug trafficking ring. No messing around that's how it's done boys.

The way it's going here DD.We might need The Don and President Rodrigo.Malcom did say Wà's GST didn't pass the pud test
8 years ago John Howard had a sundowner in Perth .1200 people paid $120 a head to meet the then PM..Malcomcharged $20 and 300 went

Of course I am referring to the bloody same sex marriage fiasco and I'm sure I speak for the majority who don't really give a flying f*** what people do as long as it's not effecting them. The opposition want it done with a conscience vote in the parliament and the wankers in government should understand they are elected and paid to get shit like this done.

I am fucking pissed that in this day and age when the whole country is drowning in debt the Prime Minister is prepared to make it a postal vote which has already been challenged in the High Court, at a cost of 122 million. Malcolm Turnbull is prepared to throw money around like its confetti while cracking down on social welfare. And his predessor is carrying on like a Neanderthal trying to push the No vote.

I'm sick of death of our politicians who just blow money like it's going out of fashion and get fuck all done.

You would have a point except for one important fact.

The nation went to the polls with this issue front a n centre and both sides completely clear about what they were offering and what you would get if you voted for them.

Libs a Plebiscite and ALP/ Greens Leave it to 150 Politicians.

People voted a Libs won and are in power so are delivering what they promised.

People moan about politicians not honouring pre election promises, yet when they do people still moan, work that out if you can - but that's what's going on here.

Bazza there are several problems with your comments. The first ignores the fact that there were two houses of parliament that we voted on and most assuredly the number of seats won by the coalition was not a majority. Secondly, you ignore the breathtaking hypocrisy of the coalition: the ALP went to an election in 2007 with an ETS as a major commitment and Abbott et al voted AGAINST the ETS legislation.

Thirdly, I must have missed Abbott's pre-election promise of a $7 co-payment or the massive cuts to education funds. In fact the latter seemed to be diametrically opposite to Abbott's pre-election promise to match the Gonski funding promised by Labor.

Finally, we elect governments to govern; if the coalition don't want to govern, resign and we will have another election.

Did you actually read my comment , as you have totally ignored the whole point.

Government is formed in the lower house - not the upper.

Then went on to moan about Abbott not keeping promises, a point I raised in my point, thus confirming my point.

If Shorten had won then I would of copped a parliamentary vote sweet, but he didn't , so you are goner have to cop a plebiscite sweet.

deal with it.

I better read Paul Murray's article again.Made for pretty compelling reading really!

Yep, I know you are very much on letting the people have their say, be it day light savings or this, and if that was the promise then better it be kept than broken, I voted LIb on the basis the Australian People would have a say on the issue, so that is what I expect them to deliver.

BC Im sick of pollies breaking promises , this to me a breath of fresh air, they could of been piss weak and rolled over to shortens barking , but It was FRONT and CENTRE as defining difference at the last election.

I have no time for the issue itself - but its the gay lobby driving the bus on this one , not the people that want to leave things as they are. Unfortunately like a lot of things the minority tend to highjack the agenda, look at the Recognition Debate , the entire thing has gone pear shape.

mate...I think there were far more important issues that determined which way people were going to vote at the last election. sure the Libs and Labor had differing policies on gay marriage which set them apart but I wouldn't think most people thought long and hard about this issue before casting their vote. given most punters either don't give a stuff or generally accept that equality in marriage is a reasonable thing and also the outrageous cost of a plebiscite I think it would be reasonable for Turnbull to roll over on this one.

The Senate is not the House of Lords. Those elected to the Senate are able to vote for or against pieces of legislation passed in the House of Reps. The Senators, in the main, are also duly elected.

Swan do you know the basics of the Westminster System the majority in the Lower House form the Executive Government. I look forward to the LNP controlling in the upper house ALP winning a majority in the Lower House and you supporting the LNP picking a PM.
