That Greens walkout: no, senator, it was a stunt : Comments

By Richard Laidlaw, published 19/9/2016

A group with formal party status, however, should understand that it has duties to the parliament that extend beyond those of an individual member.

"Better still, One Nation is now an established party, and a serious party who will continue to attract disaffected Labor and Liberal voters, probably in ever increasing numbers."

I think you may be on to something here Lego, particularly if the recent election result is anything to go by; in fact any Federal By-Election coming up will be watched very carefully - by everyone!

So, the next question: will we get a Plebiscite? I hope so.

"Dear oh dear Alan.
You would "headshot" someone for breaking and entering.
Hate to see what you want to do to rapists and murderers.

Anyone who breaks and enters intends to kill you and your's, the only objection that I have to Alan's post is "head shot", centre body mass is the approved area, preferably with at least two shots (as taught by the army) or 'tap-a-talk' for preference.

I was a Guard on the very first T.E.A.L.Conference at Cunungra in 65. This was an extremely Top Level Conference with the Absolute Top Brass from all the Allied Countries of the World.

We were Instructed in the correct approved method;

Halt! Halt! Halt or I'll fire! One shot in the air, one shot in the ground, then you can go for it, Centre of Mass.

Jayb,

I was out of the Army in 1959, up till then it was at least two shots with a pistol, just to make sure; there was no actual limit beyond the capacity of the weapon.
By '65 I was a Koala Bear in the Dept. of Defonce!!

Actually there was no training done on any of the hand guns we were given. JTC didn't have enough weapons to go around & they did a scout of the local Farmers to make up the weapon numbers. They were all Pistols, no automatics & there was a variety from S & W, Colts, Remington's & Weberleys. The Army was using Weberley's back then. 22's. 38's 32's & 45's. They were not carried loaded but we did carry live ammo in a separate pouch.

Different Army back then.

95.7% of Australians did NOT vote for Hanson and her "idiot" policies. Between her and that incomprehensible moron, Roberts, most Australians agree with the author.

Ignore her and her followers..."unrepresentative swill"!
