The new member from Wentworth is a compassionate, scientifically knowledgeable person with administrative ability. She is not a person appreciated by those who haven't left the Dark Ages. She is a cut above most parliamentarians and even most prime ministers. She is aware that not dealing with climate change shows disregard for the future. I have nine descendants, and they may produce more. I think of their future. Those living in the Dark Ages are suspicious of knowledge, science and compassion. They seem to think knowledge, science and compassion are the property of the leftist elite. They are giving the leftist elite a good name. Some people glorify ignorance. They fear the search for knowledge in tertiary institutions. They call education brain-washing. If there are too many of them they elect more troglodytes like Hanson and Bernardi, and the country becomes third-rate.

Alright I've read enough.
Hasbeen asked a very valid and telling question and because I know the answer it's annoying that the bleating left, having the most to say didn't answer it, but continued talking rubbish.
Now a truth, that'll put you left loony's back in your box.
I haven't checked because I don't care, but a friend emailed me a telling story with graphs and words and everything.
The point was to inform me that if it was not for this BS called preferences, the Liberal candidate was a clear and decisive winner.
As I said, I couldn't care less, I vote independents, I used to vote libs till I realised libs and labour are one big happy family, so now I like to throw the cat amongst the pidgeons.
I'm not the only one, why do you think Trump got in, I love him, not for what he's doing or not doing, but because he ousted those arseholes from the biulderberg group, Rothschilds and their mates, and in doing so taken the keys to the safe off them.
I hope the next elections dilute further the powers of the big two and see them have to negotiate with the independents.
As the mantra goes, 'That'll keep the bastards honest'.
So the queer did not WIN the seat of Wentworth, last time I looked, preferences did.
She may still win, more's the pity.
As for you people who generalise about only people with a uni education should be in govt.
Your as blind and bent as the rest of em'.
Your supposed to be promoting someone who displays a good amount of maturity and common sense and NO emotions.
You idiots, you want to know why women aren't equal to men and therefore should NOT be in high level jobs, let alone parliament.
They are by nature EMOTIONAL!
Such a person MUST NOT be relied upon to make life decisions, for and about other people.
Anyway, just wanted to set the record straight, if she does win Wentworth, as long as you know, it wasn't her but preferences.

David, I don't know you but already what I know of you via your post, you're a moron.
Do you realise that for you to say the things you've said about this queer, (you see I can say that because she said it) you must have had intimate and close contact with said person for many years, otherwise you are lying or making it up.
You see this is what I have been talking about, your comments of praise are emotionally driven, this new role she is attempting to covet is just another con-job.
She has absolutely no experience and nothing to offer in this position she alleges to be capable of let alone actually come up to the bar.
People far more educated and worldly than her have demonstrated that they are incapable of making any salient decisions.
By her past demeanor and what I've seen of her and her capabilities, she will not disappoint me in being just another noisy woman with nothing to offer of 'real' substance or positive change for the better.
Just wait and see, we'll get all the usual bluster and BS that is standard for the job so as to keep her profile 'out there', but she will DO NOTHING!

David F,

Phelps, like many other lefties, is not bright enough to realise that NONE of the the things predicted by the climate alarmists have ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

With persistent regularity, someone—normally from The Guardian or the ABC, predicts the imminent destruction of the planet. What’s more, they have this uncanny fondness for asserting that the next ten years, in particular, will be critical.

They’ve been making this type of apocalyptic prediction for the planet being in its last days for at least the last thirty years, and still the penny hasn't dropped with all you superior types. You are just like the Catholics in the old days, before they could read or had access to Bibles. They had to believe everything the priests said. Your priests are money-grubbing junk scientists and professional liars.

Note that the green-Left contingent of the Liberal party is calling for more of other people's to be spent on the climate fraud following the Wentworth defeat. They have also had the common sense educated out of them. They think what is good for Wentworth is good for the rest of Australia. Malcolm Turnbull, also a highly educated type, thought the same thing.

Her sexuality is neither a qualification nor a disqualification. A good person has been elected. Live with it.
