Political parties breaching electoral guidelines! Who'd have thunk it.

Lucky the Libs never do it

Still makes me laugh

Political parties breaching electoral guidelines! Who'd have thunk it.

Lucky the Libs never do it

What? Rort the taxpayer to the tune of almost $400,000 during an election campaign? Whilst knowingly flaunting the laws that govern such matters?

And then spend a million fucking dollars of taxpayer dollars in the courts to try and cover it up?

The Libs did that?

I remember when the Liberal leader of NSW had to resign over an undeclared gift in the form of a bottle of wine.

Double standards?

Hooray for socialism.

[hellboy]

No double standards on my part. Both parties push the system above and beyond the regulations. Sometimes they get caught.

Claiming that one party is somehow innocent is the double standard.

[Calfium Jay]

Quick! Look over there! A diversion.

That's a great non answer there. This particular incident has nothing to do with pushing boundaries. They committed 'fraud'. Electoral fraud. They robbed the people they're supposed to be representing.

And your answer? They're politicians right?! We allow them a few discrepancies, right?! Wrong.

They are held to the same standards as you and I.

Disgraceful behavior from the loony left once again.

[Calfium Jay]

To put it in perspective: You and 21 of your friends work for a company. Together, you steal $380,000.00 from your bosses (the victims). You and your 21 mates get caught and to save your sorry arses, you steal another $1.5 MILLION from your bosses (the victims) to pay for legal action to stop the public investigation.

With the victims $1.5 million stuffed in your pockets, you and your 21 mates go to the Supreme Court, where you lose. Arrogantly, you appeal the decision and lose again so you waste more of your bosses money trying your luck at the High Court where again, your case is thrown out. So far, you and your 21 mates have siphoned nearly 2 million dollars from your bosses (the victims) and completely refused to cooperate with the investigators.

So, today, you are caught out with your pants down and publicly shamed so you pay back the money, offer your bosses a half arsed apology and expect to go back to work like nothing's happened.

The victims, are us. The Victorian tax payers and companies who pay payroll tax on our behalf. 'You and your 21 mates' are the premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews and 21 of his MP's who used our taxes towards Labor's 2014 election campaign.

I don't care about political sides because this is not about team red or team blue. This is about MP's stealing our taxes and going unpunished. And to Labor voters, this is your moment of truth. Because 22 members of your team have stolen from you and betrayed your trust.

If this Premier and his 21 rotten to the core MP's have even a milligram of decency, they will hand in resignations today. Anything less is an insult and scoff to every Victorian tax payer.

[hellboy]

And your answer? They're politicians right?! We allow them a few discrepancies, right?! Wrong.

I'm not condoning giving parties a few discrepancies at all. The Victorian Labor Party committed fraud, and should be penalised accordingly.

[tys0n]

Who cares?

Richmond vs Carlton tonight!

[UndKeineZwEier]

Should've taken more money imo

[Calfium Jay]

Well let's all just be grateful no one was "indecently" touched during the whole schmozzle. Cos that's the only crime the left give a shit about.

Apart from being racist that is.

Nice to see the Libs collapsing in quite a laughable manner. Kinda sums up the last few years in power. Time for the "adults" to stop leading and the kids to take over.

[tys0n]

Dutton, fucking hell, is that the best they have got?

I'm guessing Shorten with at least 3 terms now.

[hellboy]

Yeah, it's pretty funny. I never thought I'd ever be on Turnbull's side, but here we are.

[tys0n]

Scott Morrison Prime Minister until the next election, hillsong fuckwit.

[Busty McCracken]

Man I am so fucking proud to see young kids skipping school against the prime ministers wishes and demanding change. I truly hope this can inspire others to try make a change.

Whether you believe in climate change or not is irrelevant. If you cant see that we are fucking up this planet at an awe inspiring rate then you are either ignorant or in denial. Google the Pacific garbage patch and tell me that's not affecting our world

[tys0n]

Personally I think using kids for political stunts is disgusting, regardless of the issue.

They are fucking kids.

[Busty McCracken]

No doubt their parents are puppet masters in this and if it was any other topic I'd be disgusted to so theres definitely an element of hypocrisy on my part. Saying that, when it comes to how much we are fucking up this planet, its never to early for kids to get involved for me so I'm all for it

[hellboy]

Everyone under 18 is complete bereft of free thought.

[Busty McCracken]

Considering how drunk I was last night when I wrote that last post I'm kinda proud. Not a bad effort.

Meh, political discussion is usually just a race to the bottom these days.

Another female quits a misogynistic conservative party. Just another day in Australian politics. The current government will go down as the worst of all time.

[tys0n]

Goodbye you absolute fucking cunt and I mean that sincerely

The rats are abandoning the ship
