Assembly's Loss Is Riot Act's Gain

Troy was just the person we needed, somebody who didn’t see getting elected as an end in itself. The Assembly is too full of people who are full of their own importance, a dude who can walk away and say this isn’t for me must be either something special or odd.

“I liked their previous Fraser candidate Adam someone. Don’t know what ever happened to him?”

He moved to Alice Springs a few years ago and ran for the Country Liberal Party in last years election: http://vtr.aec.gov.au/HouseDivisionFirstPrefs-13745-306.htm

The Democrats will save us!

(it’s not like they’ve got anything better to do…)

Perhaps Troy will consider running as an Independant instead. It sounds as if a lot of the issues are to do with the Liberal party itself.

I could not cope with another 4 years of Stanhope.

What really happened is that Troy was asked to define ‘love’, and he short-circuited and was sent back to his Geppetto in Macau.

He’ll come back as the T-1000 and then things will REALLY be shaken up in the Assembly.

The question is, will Troy continue to post on here now that he has no personal barrow to push? Is he a fair weather Riotactor?

At the risk of sounding like a Troy fanboy, he seems to be different from the average Lib wannabe in that he has experience in industry so chould possibly be able to address some of their concerns.

The current ACT Libs seem to have about a week of business experience between themselves.
Brendan Smyth has a bit of retail experience, but everyone else seems to have held departmental roles. 😐

I haven’t put my retail experience on a resume for years. :\

I seriously think that the ACT Liberals need to be totally destroyed by their own infighting – then people like Troy can come along and rebuild the party.

At least that’s my hope!

All this talk of Independants saving the ACT is a load of codswallop too: what are single issue parties like the Motorists, Dragway Now, No Battery Hens, etc really going to do to fix this place up?

Who will save the Liberals?

Oh this guy: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=212669598

I wouldn’t be too concerned about the quality of candidates that the Libs are going to attract and put forward. Just look at how rank ALP candidates are and still get elected.

I mean seriously…we put in people to run our multi-million dollar economy whose only life experience is being a union shop steward!

The Libs could drag the bottom of their membership barrel and probably find more talent than the ALP candidates and it wouldn’t impact on the election result.

Troy\Smyth\Whoever, how do I go about getting onto this ACT Liberal party Leaked Internal Memo mailing list?

Do I need to fill in a form, or pay a special fee?

I also vote that S4anta’s party be called the Machiavellian party.

Now we know that Step 2 in any Three Step mission is “Depart to Macau while things run their course”.

Step 1 being “Write up emails that may help scuttle the party, let them get leaked”

Step 3 is still the same as always, “Profit!”…

Troy Williams is a mastermind of Machiavellian complexity!

I nominate S4anta for RA member.

Troy didn’t have a big impact in the Federal Election but that’s understandable as the Coalition was on a hiding to nothing. I liked their previous Fraser candidate Adam someone. Don’t know what ever happened to him?

Troy did a much better job than the Liberal’s Canberra candidate, Natalie someone. He was all over the place while Natalie someone came across as being lazy and uninterested.

In saying this I think Troy would have been a good Member of the Assembly. Certainly a lot better than Ms Burke, the pube expert.

I just read their former committee member, Gary Kent’s letter to the editor. It shines a little more light on this newly formed Business Club. Don’t know a lot about Kent but he should consider running rather than sitting on the sideline.

Troy, you should run as an independant.

“Where my vote would have ended up would be anyone’s guess, as ACT preferences are a tangled web of backscratching.”

Your YOUR vote goes is entirely up to you Skid.
If YOU choose to abdicate that right, then vote as per party directions. If you CARE about preference flow, then number every box exactly how YOU want them to go.

I wanna send Stanhope & Barr a message too – keep building more mountain bike facilities like Stromlo! Thanks!! 😀

Seriously though, the Libs are really struggling especially this week with the cracks opening again, and now Troy “Golden Boy” Williams leaving… The Greens and Democrats candidates will be waiting to pounce. Will be very interesting to see how minor parties & independants fare…

All we need is a 100 odd signatures and we can form our gang of winged monkeys.

its a shame

If Troy ran he’d be in my electorate this time…

Where my vote would have ended up would be anyone’s guess, as ACT preferences are a tangled web of backscratching.

If you couldn’t care less then don’t bother posting. Sheesh!

I’ve got no idea who to vote for in this election. Want to send Stanhope a message, but there’s not much of an alternative.

God help us all. Who exactly is ‘us’?
I couldn’t care less. Haven’t even heard of Troy Williams…
