Other than Paul's repeated lie that the libs acted corruptly, (ICAC ruled that their behaviour was not corrupt), he's raised a good point.

The one thing that ICAC ruled illegal was the company that was set up to receive donations from proscribed donors. That GetUp! is essentially doing exactly the same just shows the rank hypocrisy of Labor and the gangreens.

Now that GetUp is registered as an associated organisation, their collection of illegal donations will have to stop, and their donations will need to be declared in the same way that other political donation are.

Rumour has it that a conservative version of GetUp! is in formation. When I say 'rumor', I did read it in the popular press, but reporting is not much different from rumour these days.

George Soros is a terrorist.
I want to explain why I think this is a true statement, and if anyone thinks I'm wrong or thinks different then I sincerely hope they make their argument and try to prove me wrong.
If they don't or can't, then I'll just assume I'm right.

THIS NIGHTMARE MUST END
THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO
NOV 4 IT BEGINS
Be There. Join With The Thousands
Who Will Gather In Cities And Town Across The Country
A Movement Of Protests That Continue Every Day And Night
Growing Until We Become Millions
Determined Not To Stop Until This Regime Is Removed From Power

Ok in their own words they're gathering 'with the purpose of driving this regime from power'.
They aren't saying 'We need to vote this current elected president out at the next election' using 'the battle of ideas to win the hearts and minds of the people'.

So, they have no respect for the democratic rule of law:
-evidenced in the statement 'Drive this regime from power'.
- They don't respect will of the voting public.
The word 'Drive' in the absence of 'Voting Trump/Pence out' is reasonable construed as pertaining to using violence / property damage / civil unrest.

Terrorism: The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

So in my opinion George Soros is a terrorist, and anyone who donates to his causes is funding terrorism.

So far as I can see, the only thing the right is upset about is that an AFP operation became public knowledge.

Why aren't *all* AFP raids covered by the media?

Getup's values are quite different from most of the workers in the AWU. It is commonly suspected, but not proven that this raid was engineered for political purposes. If so, it has highlighted the amount of money that should be used to get better conditions for workers, but is instead is diverted to the land rights for gay whales brigade. The workers won't be happy.

It is good to see all the bedwetting left whingers out in force to protect the illegal money laundering scheme dreamt up by the corrupt unions, labor and the gangreens.
