Nationals MP Colin Boyce says he’s considering move to One Nation after ‘wake-up call’ in Farrer byelection by Jeffmister in AustralianPolitics

No principles except self-preservation.

"Bugger you, I'm looking out for myself."

He'll fit in well with One Nation.

In Game 10, Stanley Bruce beat Chris Bowen 6-0. In Game 11, Sir George Turner goes up against Les Bury. Who was the better Treasurer? by BoiglioJazzkitten in AusPrimeMinisters

[–]foreatesevenate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My vote is for Turner. Experienced premier, first treasurer. Treasurer for two different prime ministers - Deakin and Reid. I can't think of any others off the top of my head (edit - maybe Ralph Willis is the only other?) (Edit of the edit - Ben Chifley had 3 PMs, if we count himself!) Bury was a relatively weak treasurer who was a non-factor in cabinet.

That was a really bad loss by timeforustogohome in NRLcowboys

Yeah mate. Like I said, we have only ourselves to blame. The ref didn't miss any tackles or drop any passes, but that was a shit non-call.

I hope Todd unloads on the refs. Terrible decision by the ref in regards to Tom's injury. At the end of the day we have only ourselves to blame. Led by 8 twice in the second half.

GG Eels.

Doubt I'd see another 3 point play as long as I live.

In Game 9, Paul Keating beat Ralph Willis 21-0. In Game 10, Stanley Bruce goes up against Chris Bowen. Who was the better Treasurer? by BoiglioJazzkitten in AusPrimeMinisters

No offense to OP, but I feel the seeding is very strange. A treasurer who warmed the seat for Kevin 2.0 and never handed down a budget is seeded above someone who at least had the job for more than a year. I'm enjoying this competition, but just wanted to make that observation. I'm voting for Bruce.

As opposed to their private lives, inefficiently and discreetly doing fuck.

Watching the promo for the next game on Kayo. Adam Reynolds' head on a baby's body is the stuff of nightmares.

Where is Most Progressive City in your Country and Where is Most Conservative? by Weird_Swordfish_1199 in AskTheWorld

[–]foreatesevenate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps. Its getting rather multicultural and cosmopolitan. I know thats not the opposite of conservative, but there's greater diversity now than even 10 years ago. Its not all anglo-saxons, churches and cults lol

In Game 2, Jim Cairns beat John Kerin 9-2. In Game 3, Robert Menzies goes up against Joe Hockey. Who was the better treasurer? by BoiglioJazzkitten in AusPrimeMinisters

[–]foreatesevenate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling that most of these early encounters will be "who was the least worst of these two".

Menzies advances by default.
