Dear Belly,

Have a look at what Scott Morrison put in place as
perks for former PMs - and tell me you think they're fair:

http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/may/30/tony-abbott-gets-100000-raise-on-backbenchers-salary-now-he's-a-retired-pm

Close to $300,000 dollar pension a year for life, plus
an office, postage and publishing paid for, plus travel
expenses for himself, wife, and a staff member - 30 return
trips a year, and the list goes on.

No wonder people go into politics. Look at the incentives.

Sorry.

Here's the link again:

And he'll probably get a high paying job from one of his
cronies as well.

Who said Life wasn't meant to be easy?

They were talking to the rest of us poor plebs.

Tony Abbott is no longer in the parliament.

The Labor Party lost the election and still doesn't know why.

An article in today's extreme-right-wing rag, The Australian, lists the Labor seats which they won only with massive (80 %) Greens preferences.

Albanese is in the Left faction of the Labor Party, which depends on Greens preferences. Is there any chance that Albanese and the Labour Party will move back the centre ? Gosh, perhaps not.

So it's the unopposed hunting ground for the Libs.

So who's in trouble, again ?

'Did anyone watch Q&A last night?'

have not watched the marxist propaganda Foxy since being able to get sky free to air. So refreshing to listen to people who can think past the socialist dogma. And to think they don't need a billion dollars a year to push their agenda. Also their is still a lightness (with a couple of exceptions) with the sky broadcasters still thrilled about Morrisons win and the absolute fools the democrats have made of themselves in America by conjuring up conspiracies on Trump and Russian collusion. Quite entertaining. You should broaden your horizon. They even throw in a few token lefties who they must pay a lot to have their foolishness exposed.

runner,

Sorry but I really can't stomach Sky news.
The day that they allow for a variety of opposing views
is the day that may peak my interest. At present their
reporting leaves a lot to be desired. It's a shame that
you don't watch the various viewpoints on Q&A where the
audience asks the questions. Where its not staged - and
especially as we saw last night - where the pollies are
forced to give answers from their voters.

Tony Abbott may no longer be in Parliament but
he's certainly raking in the benefits - thanks
to his mate Morrison.
