She is our retiring member, good riddance to this bigoted, essentialist slanderous crap!

Skew you dill:rolleyes:, Ms Kelly is in power (until tomorrow) and her hubby is one of the ones caught out, as is the hubby of the woman standing to replace her. So its a case of caught out doing what they have been doing all year. Of course neither wife new what was going on, yeah, right, my wife knows what I'm going to do before I've even thought of doing it, so that isn't going to wash with the electorate.Quote:

Of course we can't lie about anything, but I'm under the impression that politicians, along with large corporations, are fair game as far as critical comment and mockery goes.Quote:

I dont think the political class has that power yet...... Im sure they will give it to themselves. One day soon opposing opinion will be silenced, whoever gets in. Ive been watching Pakistan quite closely. Australia is steadily heading down the same path. BTW I think I slandered the message not the messenger.Quote:

Hi Ruddigar, Weve actually been redistributed into Macquarie from Lindsay, I just found out. The said lady was my neighbour for a while. Its a pity she's gone, no more placards to draw moustaches on....., our area is very light on on placards this time, or visiter come to think of it. Mo's on all placards done without fear or favour I can assure you...

Melbourne Age called Ms Kelly an "airhead" and said she was a minister in the Little Johnny government for a time. Wonder what merit Little Johnny saw as a reason for promoting her. Were the guys who were out with the fake handouts which indirectly incite racial intolerance exhibiting Ozzie values?

Jacki Kelly won the election where Johnny 1st got in. She beat the sitting member Ross Free who had held the seat for years. Labour challenged as Ms Kelly was still suspected to be technically a Kiwi but the challenge was not upheld and we had a revote. She won by 12%. The famous scene where John called the Government together for the first time was enhanced by the last minute arrival of Ms Kelly and Johnnys pronouncement of her win as "the sweetest victory of all". I think he had a soft spot for her as he made her Tourism and Sport minister for the Olympics but she quit the ministery to have kids. I think they share the same essentialist outlook. She has never impressed me as a media performer and her speeches in the parliment, well lets say she was never a shining intellect.Quote:
