Paul,
Got you!1
You can’t fault my statement, and can’t offer one wit of evidence for your allegations of NRA involvement.
Recourse to your brand of wit shews desperation.

"They got Al Capone but they never got Robert Askin" was a saying many years ago but the current governments (NSW State and Federal) are far more blatant in their handouts to mates. He said "We're in the lolly shop boys" and made the most of the opportunity.

Morrison recently gave a Tasmanian distillery $4.5million. The company was already very profitable and didn't "need" the money and apart from the owner being a prominent Liberal donor and a personal friend of Barnaby Joyce I can't see any significant value in it for the taxpayer. It's obviously pork-barreling for the seat of Bass but a strange but convenient choice.

Likewise $40million handout to Murdoch to "promote women's sport on FOXTEL" seemed a bit odd, considering taxpayers would then need to pay for the privilege of watching the outcome (if any) and it's not as if Murdoch would ever repay it via his non-existent taxes. Maybe it was a political investment.

The so-called NSW ICAC "kangaroo court" revealed that ex-Premier Gladys Berejiklian was well aware of corruption within her own government but did nothing about it.

The list is very long and getting longer and it's no surprise that politicians are looked down upon.

Hi Issy,

With a policy that allows for loaded guns for five years olds, we are fortunate that the SHOOTERS and HOOTERS Party has zero say in Federal politics. We already have their sidekicks from ONE NATION rabbiting on with Nazi ideology, we don't need a second.

BTW; We're you ever a "bagman" for the SHOOTERS and HOOTERS? Bring in under $10k at a time from the NRA into Australia. Money channelled through the Aussie chapter the SSAA.

Paul,
If your wit was excreta you couldn’t furnish a starter kit for a lone tomato seed.

Hi Issy,

I recognise that above as a quote from Arsethrottle. The Kudos Kid will be along shortly to give you some KRUMPET.

Can't deny what I say, how's your mate Steve 'Dicko' Dickson these days. In jail with Fat Bob, Two Bob and Elephant Bob? What's your tip for the May 21st Erection? ScumO' is a 100/1, oh so is Albo.

Paul
Don’t you wish that the Greens were as squeaky clean as the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party?

Could you, please, backup your allegations with some facts; facts, also known as verifiable truths.
