The nominations are in for both the Newcastle and Charlestown by-elections to be held 25th October. Both seats have drawn capacity fields Newcastle with 8 noms, and Charlestown with 9.
THE CORRUPTION PARTY (formally the Liberal Party) is naturally conspicuous by its absence! The thinking of Buggy Baird and his cohorts must be the good folk of Newcastle and Charlestown are not worth representing, or could it be that their former representatives in those seats Owen and Cornwell were found to be so totally corrupt, that they are ashamed to show their faces so the people can vent their spleen on them! Along with numerous Independents Labor have nominated a couple of party hacks, I can not say if they would be the choice of Eddie and Joe, but they got the nod this time around. Whilst THE GREENS have nominated two outstanding candidates in Michael Osborne in Newcastle and Jane Oakley in Charlestown. Unlike The Corruption Party and the friends of Eaddie Obeid and Joe Tripodie, The Labor Party, THE GREENS believe the people are always worthy of democratic representation.

I see that THE CORRUPTION PARTY have nominated two DODGY candidates in Michael Osborne in Newcastle and Jane Oakley in Charlestown, firm friends of Eddie Obeid and Joe Tripodi THE CORRUPTION PARTY believe the people are always unworthy of representation.

Shadow, since your mob were too gutless to field candidates, we can at least be thankful that Developers won't be offering the mandatory brown paper bags with the usual $10 grand in bribe money for THE CORRUPTION PARTY candidates. How much 'Developer Money' do you thing will be going into the Liberal Party election fund for March?

p/s That was a rather pathetic response, can't you do better than that.

Paul,

The libs didn't get a $1.7m bribe that they can fritter away like the CORRUPTION PARTY of Crusty Milne on unwinnable seats.

Shadow, you have finally admitted The Liberal Party took bribe money. If it was not $1.7M, how much was it, more! less, how much? If they didn't fritter it away on unwinnable seats, what did they fritter it away on? Expensive plonk for Boozy Barry, holidays, buying works of art, paying off their credit cards. Please tell, what was the Liberal bribe money spent on? In Labor's case Eddie just put it in his pocket, what do Liberals do with their bribe money?

Paul,

It is good that you have finally admitted that the corruption party of Crusty Milne and Syph Hansen Young took the $1.7m bribe.

I suppose frittering it away on useless election attempts is better than spending on prostitutes like Labor.
