    You actually believe that shit?

    Sure, if you poll 1000 people in the Queensland boonies you might get
    that idea... but remember when the polls predicted a LNP win and Labor
    won in a landslide?

    I do.

    Seems that the budget designed supposedly to make it easier for younger generations to get into the housing market has failed to impress the
    very people it was supposed to help.
    Not surprised that many people have had it with the major parties but
    FFS One Nation isn't the answer.

    Yep, its one thing to be anti establishment but anyone who looks past a
    short video of Hanson trying to sell herself can see that she is clueless.

    Not likely unless she wins a lot more seats in the house of reps,
    currently 2 and she has only 4 senate seats. For her to have any hope of winning government the Libs would need to totally collapse.

    Oh, hang on, Abbott is now the Federal President of the Liberal Party.
    Ok, now it *IS* possible for the Liberal Party to disappear up its own fundamental orifice.

    I won't be Felix, as the likelyhood is about the same as you being named honorary chairman of Mensa.

    She cannot *be* Prime Minister unless she first resigns per position in
    the senate and stands as a candidate for the lower house, wins a seat,
    forms a lower house party and wins a general election.

    If all of *that* happens I'm selling up and moving to New Zealand :)

    it would never happen. first ON would have to win govt. then she would
    have to give up her cushy senate seat and join the house of reps, which
    she wouldn't do, thankfully, since she hasn't the nouse required of a
    PM. in the unlikely event that ON did win govt, the most competent ON
    member of the Reps would be elected PM.

    Well actually she can, Mr AI says

    Legally a Prime Minister can be a Senator. While the Australian
    Constitution requires that ministers must be members of Parliament, it
    does not mandate that the Prime Minister must sit in the House of Representatives.

    However, this is extremely rare in practice due to political custom:The
    Only Exception: Senator John Gorton served as Prime Minister while in
    the Senate, but only briefly in 1968. Shortly after his appointment, he resigned from the Senate and successfully ran for a seat in the House of Representatives.

    The "Confidence" Convention: By longstanding Westminster convention, the
    Prime Minister sits in the lower house because government is formed
    there, and the Prime Minister must maintain the confidence of the
    majority of its members.

    Practicality: The House of Representatives drives the legislative agenda (especially tax and budget bills), which makes it highly impractical for
    the head of government to manage their duties from the Senate.

    She could do what Gorton (one of the better Lib prime ministers) did and
    only move if she was on a winner. Obviously there would be a period when
    she would not be a member of either house and somebody else would need
    to stand in.


    If all of *that* happens I'm selling up and moving to New Zealand :)

    I think that there would be a major rush and NZ property prices would
    get a major boost.

    Ugh... what a fucking spastic.


    you'll be freaking out if she ever becomes PM

    I won't be Felix, as the likelyhood is about the same as you being
    named honorary chairman of Mensa.

    She cannot *be* Prime Minister unless she first resigns per
    position in the senate and stands as a candidate for the lower
    house, wins a seat, forms a lower house party and wins a general
    election.
    Well actually she can, Mr AI says

    Legally a Prime Minister can be a Senator. While the Australian
    Constitution requires that ministers must be members of Parliament,
    it does not mandate that the Prime Minister must sit in the House of
    Representatives.
