"and Scott Numbnuts' position is being filled by a 22yr old retard." The man you refer to as a "retard" is Mr Jordon Steele-John who suffers from cerebral palsy, and uses a wheelchair. Unlike a gutless moron who uses the secret cover of a public forum to insult, Jordon is out there trying to make a positive contribution to society despite his disablity. Good on him.

Dear Bazz,

I wish it was as simple as you stated regarding
Senator Abetz. However it appears that there are
still questions that do need to be asked unless
we have a double standard regarding Senators
Ludlum and Waters. The question being asked is
when did Senator Abetz become an Australian citizen
and why doesn't he simply provide the documentation
to prove it?

Here's a link that explains further (including what's
been done by the Senator thus far and why:

I hope it helps.

Dear Paul,

It doesn't bode well when posters have to stoop to insults.
It lowers the bar for all concerned and is a turn-off.
Who needs that. Never mind. If its any consolation it usually
is an indication that the person has nothing left to argue
with, and is extremely frustrated. But then that's their
problem.

Jordon Steele-John was on their ticket and is credited with campaigning for two elections. It would have been a travesty if the Greens had not supported him. As it would be if he is regarded as keeping the seat warm. -Which no-one would put past the treacherous Greens (ask Julia Gillard about the Greens!).

By getting his citizenship sorted he has already shown he is far smarter, more mature and reliable than the showboats, Ludlum and Waters.

Now, what should the two foundered showboats, Ludlam and Waters, be paying to recompense the public purse? Not that the Greens might be concerned about the public though.

The issue remains,
"Where a member of the public is concerned, ignorance is no excuse. There should be no difference between the 'big knobs' of society, in this case the very well paid and well-connected Senators and an ordinary member of the public. But obviously there is, as is already apparent from the special pleading and emotional rhetoric in the media and from their political mates. That is favouritism."

Paul,

After years of incessant insults against libs from you, this half wit is a protected species?

P.S. retard usually applies to intellectually challenged and applies equally to SHY.

But here's how the rest of the world views your new senator.

leoj as far as I an aware Jordon Steele-John was an Australian citizen from birth, so there would be nothing to sort out. You as the all knowing, all seeing, fly on the wall may know something different. When confronted with the shock, that in a short time he may find himself as an Australian senator Jordon reacted as many people would, with trepidation.

Shadow, blow it out of you know where.

I heard a suggestion that the greens should copy the liberals and introduce a due diligence test to stop these cock ups in the future. For the greens, it should include an IQ test.

P.S. Here is Timmy with a message for the Australian taxpayers.
