How very biased we are, had Shorten lost a seat, say the one most likely, longman I would be under a blanket trying to not hear the triumph in every post here, longman! a seat with one nation at its strongest, a history of being in conservative hands, Bill pulled it off, BUT he had help! tax cuts for the banks!retirement age up to 70!less money for health education! pensioners made to feel criminals! made to think they have lived too long! Turnbull and his team, his anti worker policies,won longman for the ALP thanks Mr ute gate! your blunder again saved the day, for us.

Shadow,

If that's your spin stick to it. The problem for the Coalition is their tax policy is not generous enough. $50 billion for the big end of town is miserly, peanuts I say! Moneybags hands a paltry $17 billion to the already struggling Big Banks, that is an insult to the mega rich. Where is the compassion for the battlers doing it tough in the boardrooms, the poor folk of Vaucluse and Toorak.

I say bring back The Mad Monk and his trusty sidekick Barnyard, and get some real fair dinkum Conservative policy for the next election, like a knighthood for Prince Dill, now that's a vote winner in my book.

BTW Shadow, at the general election the Coalition would have a better chance if they stood human candidates instead of turkeys. I must say that Liberal bloke in Longman was an insult to even the turkeys. A life size cardboard cutout of the Lovely Pauline had more to offer the voters than the hapless Trevor.

Foxy,

Calling you out on your terminological inexactitude, the fraud investigation was not precipitated by a liberal MP's complaint, it was triggered by an ombudsman's report concluding that there had been criminal activity.

"However much it disadvantages the Andrews government four months before the state election, Victoria Police had no alternative but to launch a criminal investigation into the reported misuse of almost $380,000 in publicly funded MP staff allowances for campaigning in the lead-up to the last Victorian election in 2014. In March, Ombudsman Deborah Glass found: “The arrangement to employ field organisers as electorate officers was an artifice to secure partial payment for the campaign out of parliamentary funds, and was wrong."

Paul,

I am convinced that you do most of your posts under the influence of recreational pharmaceuticals and that the figures you publish are the result of a bad trip.

Especially the part comparing a lib candidate to a turkey, when the greens regularly re-elect a failed bank clerk with the ethics of a sewer rat and the IQ of a squirrel. But I suppose that says more about the greens voters than the lump of lard.

just a thought, Victorian Liberals seem close to being investigated on this matter two

Belly,

A Victorian Labor MP having a fact-free whinge to the police is not a threat to the libs.

At the moment in Victoria, the minister for police and the Attorney General are both being investigated for fraud.
