It's on - Mulcahy purge of Liberal moderates begins

A Labor staffer friend of mine told me that some local Labor right-wingers want to roll Kate Lundy in the next pre-selection.

All sides and causes in US politics use the phone banks.

hence the run-away popularity of thed do-not-call register.

Stanhope for the big-house would be a real win-win for the territory, but why can’t he do the right thing and knock off bloody oxygen thieving annette ellis?

I had been witholding judgement on Richard Mulcahy, but during the ACT elections he sunk to using telephone canvassing, and left a painful pre-recorded message on my answering machine. The only other group I am aware of that engage in this intrusive practice are the Bush/Rove Republicans.
I could only conclude he was a ambitious t**d, so he lost my vote. His behaviour since has confirmed my assessment. Why do ACT Libs have to ape the factional self destruction currently being displayed by the NSW Libs? Apart from their other deficiencies, it would appear they lack originality and imagination. They might consider watching ‘Life of Brian’ to get factionalism in perspective, then do something useful, like developing some pragmatic policies.

please comrade, go federal. now latham is missing the circus needs a new clown.

Politiks Grr… NO !

Durham, Beer… GO…

The focus on the supposed internal dispute in the liberal ranks isn’t all that a big deal as long as Teflon Stanhope is still at the helm, the labour party will probably be remain in govt.

If Prince Jon was endorsed and moved into the federal sphere, then maybe there would be something to talk about in relation to leadership challenges (or gentlemanly agreements) for both liberal and labour.

That’s nothing compared to our local Labor zealots. The big ‘rumour’ there is that Bob McMullan, who is still sulking about being not loved by the Labor-machine, will soon quit and ‘god-like’ himself, Jon Stanhope will take over his seat. Stanhope apparently has these grandiose visions of being PM one day. The question is…who will take over as Chief Minister? If it was to be John Hargreaves, at least we’d have plenty of comic relief!
