Almost did a little dance at work when I read this one.

 

One down - several to go - but getting rid of this rabid redneck is a damn good start!!

I don't know too much about him, but he does soound a piece of work.. What worries me is that there is, in a single electorate, a majority that kept on (and presumably would keep on) voting him in...

Most of us only know someone from how the media wish to portray them. Generally a pretty unreliable source. Yes George must have had enough of his electorate willing to vote for him. There's no suggestion otherwise. It may  be predominantly that he was the Nationals Candidate. I don't know but how people are preselected must have a large bearing on the suitability of any candidate unless they run as an independent and we have a few good ones in that category. (and may we get more). Nev

Qld voters don't seem to have a very good record with their members. I should know I am one of them and luckily our member is not standing again at the next election. Sadly the Qld member for the area will try to take his place. Another National and another useless lump.
