Has anyone seen or heard boo from Susan Ley since she swanned into town to entreat the party faithful to an audience back in November?
I don’t really care I just wondered if the people of Farrer needed to file a missing person’s report.
Once upon a time they used to wake her up in Parliament to rubber stamp [...]

A tale of two twits.

                                               
Right now there are two federal electorates which aught hang their heads in shame at their choice of parliamentary representation, one is Robertson, the other, Indi.
While it seems  en vogue at the minute to take pot-shots at beleaguered MP Belinda Neal over the so called “Iguana-gate” imbroglio and the “pattern of unacceptable behaviour”, it seems [...]

Nico Mathews, shameless populist?

I’ve folowed with some impartial interest the events surrounding the proposed introduction of a $2.00 fee for spectators at junior games at Albury sports stadium.

Albury Sports Stadium, my $2 worth.

Stupidity contest? We have a winner!!
