Don't get me wrong here, But I LIKE Donald Trump.

Trump will have his mugshot taken when he’s arraigned next week at the Fulton County jail. Georgia state law prohibits arresting law enforcement agencies from posting mugshots (also known as booking photographs) onto a website, but the Georgia law allows for anyone to request a booking photograph. I bet that photo will do the rounds if he makes it to an election campaign.

I’m sure it was well rehearsed before he went in. It’s all about sending a message to his followers that despite his persecution he is still defiant and will get his revenge. To the rest of us it just confirms his scheming nastiness

Can't see the connection. We accept the Monarch of another  country as Part of our government. Why Tradition? For old times sake? Because We fought under it's flag for a few wars. Menzies said "Britain is at war and as a consequence WE are also at war . Britain wouldn't release Aus soldiers to defend us. It was the US that beat the enemy in our region.in WW2.  Also records now  reveal the Office of her majesty was involved in the Dismissal of the elected Whitlam Government when the Frazer Gov't BLOCKED Supply.  Nev

Yep Nev, I would have gone to the barricades at that time. But wasn't asked. I reckon silly Whitlam thought that he would win the subsequent election. Not my fault he didn't.

ANYWAY, what was wrong with the head of state being elected by a 2/3 majority of the house of reps? This would ensure that the elected person was indeed above party politics.

Nothing in my view. . The US system is not optimum as it's too popularist and MONEY spent counts too much in the whole game there. Quite a few of OUR GG's are a bit Suss but overall no great damage has been done. Frazer was in to call a new Election and HE won that BUT Media influence is too strong here and disinformation is rife, Particularly in Queensland where the Murdoch influence is about  100% and IT shows.. Media will always be "OWNED" by the already powerful and well off. The "Ordinary" person is fully occupied with just existing.  Nev

Fraser won in a landslide after Whitlam was booted out, and you seem to forget Whitlam was the dodgiest PM we ever had, with a bunch of crooks for ministers, and dealing with Khemlani to try and acquire dodgy loan money to keep the Govt running.

 

Whitlam spent money like a drunken sailor, gave us 17% inflation, more than trebled the size of the Australian Govt debt - and withdrew vast amounts of tax deductions for worthy development work.

 

Around here, every farmer voted for Whitlam in 1972, but every farmer voted for Fraser after Whitlam cancelled things like tax deductions for water improvements such as dams and tanks.

He was a real Commo with a hatred of wealthy farmers, even used to call his mates, "Comrade"!

 

And Whitlam was the one who told Mark Latham to "screw the political system for all you can get"! Then he lived for decades, ripping us off even more with his massive pension and huge entitlements!!

It was the Yanks who wished Whitlam gone like they would any slightly left leaning politician any where, Like New Zealand. The Khemlani loan was a setup to embarrass Whitlam and help Frazer Justify Withholding Supply. Something no one would be game to try these days. Frazer later resigned from the Liberal Party claiming it no longer represented the VALUES he regarded as necessary. Whitlam and Frazer later became quite good friends, surprising a few people, including me.  Nev.

Parliamentary performances are simply theatrics for the masses. Every person in both chambers is tarred with the same brush. They are all of a type. There are probably a few politicians who are the sort of people others simply could not like, but outside the Chambers, I reckon they wouldn't baulk at having a drink in the Members' Bar and talking the same shit that the rest of us do with our mates.

I can't agree with that. it's too general. I know some who go there with the aim of making the country better off, and some who go there for the spoils of Office and to keep the other side out.. Most of Parliament is not televised. It's only question time which takes a lot of effort to watch, unfortunately,  I have a simple test. Would I like this person to be living near me?. The average person only knows what the media wish to present someone as. Often that person is not like what you thought at all. . It's not a job I would relish as it's too easy for you to be removed by opinion  that is entirely based on Lies..  Nev
