Wann Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Good luck to her for agreeing to stand. She needs to get the council house voters out though to attack Cretneys power base. Hopefully she gets it right. She also needs someone who can give her some coaching on the media as some of the stuff she's done in the past doesn't come across well. If she gets it right though good luck to her. 2016 my arse. The bye-election posters will be up not long after the conclave of mhks puts up white smoke for Cretney to go up to MLC in february when 4 MLCs retire on rotation. Good of him to give her the wink in advance all the same... Reading between the lines is this why bill malarkey has been particularly noisome recently? There will be a by-election after Cretney sits his arse into the comfy cosy lucrative seat of the Legislative Council that is the Home of Rest For Old MHKs (and their pals) come end of February 2015. Edited to add: Malarkey has f*** all chance (I certainly hope, because my experience of him as an MHK has found him to be a total useless knacker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jefferson Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 One issue woman with no understanding of economics. ..just what we need. And you base these two claims on what exactly? She regularly posts on a broad range of issues on Facebook, so hardly "one issue". I fail to see what her gender has to do with anything. I like her because she's open-minded and listens to other people and shows them respect even if she doesn't agree with them. I see no evidence to suggest she has no understanding of economics; however, I do see evidence that she's reasonable and intelligent enough to learn quickly. She's a real person living in the real world, not the government bubble, so she already has a head start on most of the current politicians when it comes to maintaining a household with a tight budget.

I think the reference is to the "Considerably richer than yaaaaaauuw" De Yoxall Brummie expat lottery winners from Lonnan.
