"ROB Oakeshott is facing a backlash from some voters in his electorate.

They are expressing their fury with his decision to back a Labor minority government.

The independent member for Lyne, who has backed away from his bid to become speaker, last week became the subject of an online petition from voters and will tomorrow become the target of an open letter to be distributed among businesses in his electorate."

And so it begins:

RO is in for a beating from his electorate. The question of whether he survives the next election depends on when he admits he backed the wrong horse.

pretending..to be in his electorate..or even..voting-for him

go figure..everyone..has an adgenda
or else-why bother to write

polititions..have long-ago realised this
thus the need to confirm..the simple-things

rob..is conected..to his electorate
knows how people get bussed-in..etc

trusts his inner-circle..and his instincts

can smell-out a lie...easilly..
more easy now..he has some authority

you cant hurt an innocent man..trying only to do the right-thing

john-how/hards...way was yesterday...
even the downer/trickery..is well known
its time to realise..

your not dealing with a fool/..nor a tool
honest/men..are few and far/between
seldom heard/seldom seen

but the acorn..dont fall far/from..the oak-tree
[ok..except in the case of kim/beastly]

Yes, well, his three years of fame is looking a tad shakey, don't you think.

As I have said previously, I just hope he didn't sign a long lease on his office.

Oh dear SM, using those very objective Australian articles again. Well i live up here and i can tell you Rob is not facing any wide spread backlash. Many people are a bit disappointed as this is a conservative area. But unlike some conservatives we are not blind and ignorant to the issues. The majority understand his decision even if they don't agree and public mood over the threats to him are angry and 100% behind Rob. The behaviour of the opposition since the election and in particular the going back on his word over a matter that was always based in good will has seen the distaste for Abbott and his mates take a fast slide around here. Don't fool yourself SM, many of us were just as surprised that the independents went with labor but since the election Abbott has begun to revert back to the spiteful bigot we know he is. It might work on some issues when fear and immigrants are involved, but when he starts back stabbing his own the electorates patients will wain fast.

You're just tireless SM. If you're not a shadow minister, you definitely should be.

anyhow...lets get to the upshot..
of abbots upset..about oak-shot..becoming speaker

the eternal/oppisition..[wait/see]
quotes the constitution...40

'<<;questions arising...in*..the house of reps..shall-be determined...by a majority/of votes..[other than the speakers]>.

so the real question being..is a motion
[for speaker..or any other motion..a question]

i suggest a/..nomitation..is not a/..question..
if there is only..one* answer..[yeah..or neigh]

[besides the court system..is so slow..
it would take..a full-term..to resolve..any liberal contentions/appeal's]

but read-on..re..40

<<the speaker...shall-not/vote..UNLESS..the numbers are equal[and then he has casting vote>>>

ie nothing there..contradicts..anyone
[ANYONE]..nominated..from being..appointed/speaker..from becoming-one

next..con/50..<<EACH HOUSE/of the parliment..MAY...make rules..with respect/to[i]the MODE..in which...its powers/PRIVLEDGES..and IMMUNITIES..MAY-be exersized..and UPHELD>>

try eating on this one/too

52...EXCLUSIVE/powers..of the parlement

<<the parlement...SHALL/subject..to this constitution..HAVE exclusive-power..to MAKE..laws..for the PEACE/order...GOOD GOVT...>>

in short govt can do as it likes
[within..its area..of franchise

this definitivly..includes parlement

ok admittedly...it dosnt have any/to..do
much of the vile..it does..nor the states..
but the issue here is WHO can become speaker

and that is WHO-ever..
the govt can give/choses..to vote its numbers...to

have a nice-day
tony got it wrong...again

opposing..all big-new/taxes..is the only/thing he got right

no tax on carbon

[tax the/real polutants...
methane/laughing gas/dioxin/diesal particulate..etc]

and stop giving..miners exise egsemptions..for their diesal

cheers eh?
