Shifty? Shifty! … How do you get shifty? … Good grief!

Suss then? Untrustworthy? Unemployable? Unstable? Many things his attire (and website) suggest.
Ironically, his own website says on the home page “if you like what you see, then send a vote my way.” Well I don’t, so I wont.

I do though find humour in his excuse as to why he has only three policies, on transport, pokies and the environment namely.
He says on his site:

“As an independent candidate who works a regular 9-5 job, it’s a bit more difficult for me to churn out policies like the major parties – who have tax payer funded teams of policy writers. It’s likely that Jon Stanhope will try and steal most of my ideas – he already came out with a free bus service and suggested light rail just days after I spoke about these with a journalist.”

Well he must be forgetting weekends and the sixteen hours he’s not at work. And what’s regular about a 9-5 job, I don’t know anyone who works those hours. I’m there 8 to 6, 5 days a week.

If this joker were serious about running as an MLA, his campaign budget (as shown on his site) would be more than a couple of hundred bucks, he’d dress like he means it and he’d have a policy on every major issue. Surely he has opinions on the economy, education, development, health and aged care even if they don’t amount to whole structured policies.
He’s an arrogant and immature individual who promotes his honesty yet hides his opinions on the key issues with the lame excuse of not having time to formulate policies on them.

Shifty? Shifty! … How do you get shifty? … Good grief!

He was much more suitably attired this evening at ABN. Having some issues with traffic when I left, but he had advisers on hand (almost literally!) All will become clear when the slideshow and moving vision goes up.

Striped polo shirt under a greenish double breasted coat that’s too big and done up. You either wear a suit or do the smart casual look properly so you don’t look like bozo the clown. Do you really expect to be taken seriously? You look look shiftier than Nixon and at least he did a victory sign with his hands, not some lame thumbs up. Oh well, he’s an indie so I need not worry about him getting elected at least 🙂

How do you know that his bong even fits in his pocket?

; )

Looks like he’s on his way out to The Firehouse! Bring it on Bel Biv Devoe!

Is that a bong in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

you mean to tell me he’s foregoing a night in with his ‘awesome girlfriend’ for this? that’s dedication!

Yep clearly Sepi would be all over him like a bad suit – but wait – he’s already got one…
🙂

Phwaoar!!! I”d hit it!!!

(How’m I doing?)

Well said, that grrrrl.

(Not that I echo the sentiments as I simply do not swing that way, but in the context of previous threads, that was frickin’ hilarious.)

Typical of you, sepi!

You always have to drag things down to the gutter, don’t you 😉

*hehe*

That’s pretty good, but you have to wind down the car window and bang on the door while you say it.

Phwaoar!!! I”d hit it!!!

What’s the old saying?
“Dress like the job you want.”
So what exact job is he after???

Looks good to be an MLA then.

Great to see voters placing substance over style.

Sepi take note of this thread.

…and holy crap – is that a striped polo shirt he has under the jacket?!

That’s the worst suit I’ve seen since my year 12 formal suit hired from Roger David back in the 90’s!

That jacket reminds me of a suit my parents bought me back in ’92.

Bloody lefty ruining economic confidence with that jacket and polo combo

I thought it was just a comment on the fact that he appears (in the picture) to be leaning to the left. (That’s his left, not stage left.)

‘Independant’. I’m pretty sure he leans quite strongly to the left.

Independence in political terms does not connotate an independence from a particular ideology (which is an impossibility) but from a political party.

Judging from his UCSA days, he is leftwing though.

I S4anta, here by volunter to be head pokie smashing dude if Mr Verwey gets to a stage where he needs pokie smashing winged monkeys.

He has a nice smile.
