In saying that indy do you understand you by inference are saying Democracy is wrong
My whole and only reason for calling for, the removal of the Senate
Or the more likely to be achieved outcome, very real reform, is to protect Democracy
IF the promised Tx cuts [in my view wong at this time] are killed in the Senate we truly are a weird mob
Halve the number of Senators, double the votes needed to win a seat, and three year perms so both houses, always, are elected on the same day

saying Democracy is wrong
Belly,
I wish you'd stop twisting words to suit your bias. No-one says democracy is wrong because there is no Democracy !
Show me where democracy is practised & I'll give in.

Dear Belly,

«My whole and only reason for calling for, the removal of the Senate

The only reason we need a Senate is to try and have a little bit of democracy: had the lower house been democratic and able to represent the people, then indeed we wouldn't need a Senate - but the undemocratic British/Australian electoral system does not allow it.

Gentle men think with me here,you both tell me minority parties,stopping elected government from governing is democracy
Indy even brands me anti democratic because I DISAGREE
What if, and if unlikely still true, just for trouble making sake Labor and the minors forced changes that stopped Adani?
Again, think with me, if the tax bills are stalled or stoped, we may very well face another election of both houses as soon as this year
And again,IF as it would be the government increased its numbers in the lower house
But not in the chook pen, we could start all over again and face yet another election
Stable government first minorities last please
