One nation, won one Senate seat
The man who won is not regarded by many as an intellectual giant, to say the least
Already holding one [Hanson] they have two seats
Yet they can stall the mandate voters gave Morrison
Labor if they truly want to rebuild, should pass the tax laws, all of them, and let Morrison take what comes after, he has a mandate
Two seats? in the chook pen? not a mandate surely

This morning in all news papers
Center alliance wants to hold up the government's tax bills
Make no mistake, I remain Labor to death
But [just as it would have been had we won]
am confronted by any Senate group that size forcing its views on the majority
Yes! it is my view [even if we do not agree] Labor should pass those bills, leaving the minorities with no power at all
In fact in my view this country would be far better off if both majors combined whenever possible, to marginalise them
Too that the next election should be of both houses in a double dissolution in the nations best interests

Dear Belly,

With only two seats in the Senate can the
One Nation party really be such a problem?

I have always believed that the checks and
balances that the Senate provides is necessary
to ensure that power is not
abused. We need a check on the power of the
government. That's not to say that the Senate
could not do with some reforming.

We most certainly DO NEED the senate, given the self-serving, out of touch bastards in the major parties. Three cheers for One Nation's intention to oppose the income tax cuts, when the government should be cutting expenditure on everything but infrastructure and defence; as well as slashing immigration now that the state of our economy has revealed the LIE that immigration boosts growth. Only two parties can form government, and they are both too arrogant and out of touch with the people they no longer think they have to serve to be given a free go.

Belly,

As a Queenslander, you should be aware of what can happen with only one house of parliament, and no house of review - in one word:

Bjelke.
