Twilight of the 6th Assembly - Chaos in the Labor ranks

Not according to Canberra Times this morning. Computer says no.

Does the “legislation to remove Mary Porter’s husband” affect any Liberal MLAs?

denied the Labor Party was running ads despite a radio ad already on air

Whoops, that’s a fail.

Maybe he was thinking about those ACTEWAGL ads?

And if I’d read it correctly i would have noticed that someone has already pointed it out 😉

YAY recognition!

back to topic; i dont think this weeks efforts are any sign of disunity in the labor ranks;

It’s clearly ‘disunity’ in the very definition of the word. What I would say and what I think you are getting at, is whether this ‘disunity’ is so bad. Our obsession with Party unity these days is terrible stifling I believe. Any little piece of dissent is a ripe piece of ammo to blast off.

It’s a shame. However I do think the current goings on are interesting. Stanhope being thrown out by Berry doesn’t bother me in the slightest however. If anything, it makes me kind of like the both of them.

oh and how come no ones pointed out the irony of the libs accusing anyone else of disunity?

The beauty of disunity is that you can get over it quickly.

Unfortunately, it can come back just as quickly. As a Liberal, I’m hoping that after the election the Liberal MLAs can maintain their new found sense of maturity.

That was the law agin it to which I refered.

Yes you can print them but little point if you can’t hand them out.

yes you can use how to vote cards in act elections; you dont see them much because they cant hand them out within a certain distance of polling places. from memory this rule came into place from a lib/minor party deal early on in self govt.

back to topic; i dont think this weeks efforts are any sign of disunity in the labor ranks; who here couldn’t see zed putting on his media voice and whining about the arrogance of the stanhope govt. etc if they had called a division when stanhope got flicked? and am i to understand zed thinks having a govt mla NOT sit on a report which reflects badly on the govt. is a bad thing?

oh and how come no ones pointed out the irony of the libs accusing anyone else of disunity?

I don’t think HTV’s are technically illegal, they are just useless. Firstly because we have Robson rotation so it would be confusing, secondly because you can’t campaign within 100m of a polling booth.

There are laws agin it Peter.

Mostly, one suspects, because how-to-votes were more use to minor parties under our electoral system.

PeterH,
How To Vote cards aren’t used at Territory elections
You’re pretty spot on otherwise.

considering the amount of tactics the ACT Govt are using from the fed election, particularly from the libs, it is only a matter of time….
