Dear Paul1405,

It really is the over the top wannabees like Joyce and Christensen who we need to rein in. Joyce was a bloody accountant for goodness sake and while Christensen may have come from a family of cane growers he certainly didn't want a bar of that kind of life. In fact after brief flirtation with becoming a catholic priest he proceeded to tick all the boxes the right-wing typically loved to hate.

He did an Arts Degree majoring in Journalism, became a political staffer in De-Anne Kelly's office and started a couple of community newspapers.

He fully understands what it takes for a back bencher to get media exposure and he plays that game for all it is worth. His various stunts are well thought out and his Clint Eastwood impression rolled out when Barnaby was getting hammered was of course designed to take heat from his leader.

He knew the image was likely to cause a strong reaction and would have been happy to see it referred to the police by the people he was targeting.

He is not a country lad made good but rather a political hack with an Arts Degree who has obviously overly enjoyed wining and dining with power brokers from politics and business. He playing a character, little of it real, but one that simple minds embrace.

He is the one who should be held to account for any waste of police time because his actions were far below what any normal person should expect from their politicians.

He might be good for the occasional laugh but he really is a shocker.

Paul,

Would you care to tell us all about the times that the SF&F Party MPs have lied to Parliament, about the times that they have refurbished perfectly good offices at the tax-payers expense, have underpaid their staff or have gone overseas on tax-payers money to undermine Australia?

Tell you what; for every wrongdoing that you can sheet home to the SF&F MPs, I'll give you two for the Greens.

Thanks Steele, did you say Gorgeous George came from a family of cane toads? I certainly see the family resemblance.

ttbns ideal image of an Aussie politician.

Sorry I put up the wrong pic of George,

Issy, they are a pair of lunatics! Says it all.

Is Mise,

When voters are unhappy with the major parties
they are looking to give their vote to someone else.
Enter the Greens, the Independents, et al.

The demographic of the greens is young and naive. It's sweet really!

dd,

Statistically, young people are not interested in politics, and
there are no figures suggesting that those who do take an interest are into the Greens. Ideas that they are could be based on assumption made because of the juvenile attitudes of the Greens. People jaded by Liberal/Labor have other places to go these days.

Look at the sour old trout standing in Batman. Look at di Nasty, old before his time due to nasty thoughts and a miserable outlook. Even Bandt has a permanent old man scowl. Then there's battleaxe overseas trying to run kangaroo meat exports. The Greens couldn't raise a laugh to save their lives. No place for young people, who actually seem to enjoy life.
