Is Mise,

Any news online.

ttbn,

Thanks, I found it.

Interesting.

Foxy sorry but you miss the point
Labor can not stop the tax cuts
Unless it recruits one nation or others to help
Yuyutsu, you too miss the point, voters have spoken the rejected Labor
others are too silly to answer
By failing to pass the tax is Labor right?
If voters want it?
The senate, years ago, Labor in power, saw the greens [forever remembered] stop Labors action on carbon reduction
States house the Senate is said to be, and a house of review, not policy making

Dear Belly,

Whatever the Senate is SAID to be (i.e. "States house"), there is the reality of what it actually does.

The lower house as it is currently structured, is completely undemocratic, thus ordinary Australians have no say about policy-making and the laws that affect their lives. The little saving grace ordinary people have (even if unintended), is through the Senate where we still have a small chance of stopping the very worst of laws and policies that we oppose.

- And you want to take even this away from us, our poor-man's lamb?

1. And the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2. The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
3. But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
4. And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

[2 Samuel, 12:1-4]

One Nation is only a problem in Leftists' minds, normal caring people see ON as a whiff of common sense !

Most people regard ON as a whiff, but it usually lacks common sense.
Despite this, small parties and independents are good for democracy, as it means the politicians have to justify their legislation rather than just relying on the numbers to wave it through.
