More Mulcahy

Well, we’ve had Liberal governments before – but the secret of Kate’s success (and the one thing that the current opposition seems determined to avoid) is that in many ways, she took on the smaller-l values of the liberal party.

smurf those are all good points. i took an interst in rhodium from a leasing point of view and learnt a lot of the back story.

honestly though, do you reckon if they put down the guns, they could win? seriously?

To many schools… probably, tell that to a large portion of the population who has has a kid at one of them. Its amazing that in opposition Dunne has gone backwards in my mind – she can proclaim to be working an issue, but when nobody listens to your whining does it matter?

‘Rhodium shit’, dodgy – sure. How many people would actually know what rhodium is/does? not many – not much of an issue. Why can’t Mulcahy lay a glove when almost everyones property rates and taxes have been jacked up? If you think pushing rhodium issues has worked, well, congrats. I honestly think no-one other than regular readers of this site (not me) have noticed.

Seselja – eye on the ball – yeh right. If he has his eye on the ball it doesn’t really matter – I think he is playing by himself – without a crowd.

just to back track a tick. jimbo, regurgitating the Canberra Times or WIN news does not make it fact. The Libs went to the last election without promising not to close schools, Labor didnt. How can Vicki Dunne stand against schools closures when everyone with half a brain nkows that we have too many? Mulcahy was the one who picked the rhodium shit would be dodgy nearly 12 months ago, and Seselja seems to be the only one with his eye on the game rather than appearing on the front page of the CT for all the wrong reasons.

To label the those three with ‘the worst’ tag is just ignorance. I agree they all need to get thier shit togther, but to put those three below the rest is just a joke.

Here is hoping that things work out for them, becuase it cant possibly get worse than this.

The 9% was only for new entrants to parliament, and was reversed once it had beome a non-issue. So the superannuation has returned to “exceptionally generous” status for those who manage to stay in the job for 8 years or longer (which basically means, any senator who can get re-elected once).

Not anymore its not. That was a dumb by Howard in supporting Latham bringing the super back to 9% Although I believe its back up a little now.

And the superannuation is pretty good.

Not that I’m a great defender of pollies, but Shrub (little Bush) = $306K … Sol Trujillo = $8m …. I’m thinking that Shrub’s perks don’t come to anywhere near the same as the leader of the three stooges amigos.

Base wage is $118k plus 160% for Howard and 87.5% for Costello and 106% i think for deputy PM.

Base wage for members of Congress in the States is around US$161K or $209K Aussie so base wage is 77% higher in the US.

Thats a salary.

How many ‘perks’ do they get. Furthermore, Once they leave politics, think of the business opportunities (and significantly increased income) they are offered…
