ā€˜Liberalā€™ Party becoming the US Republican Party before our eyes. Ugly culture wars, glorifying guns, policies for sale to big donors, public service destruction, corrupt govt appointments, the lot.

True liberal voters need to take a stand now to save our faltering democracy.
2. The host of this gun-toting fundraiser for the ā€˜Liberalā€™ Party? The biggest supplier of guns etc to OUR Defence Force! Enough merging guardians of the public interest with private profit. Time to stop rampant Canberra corruption in Canberra! Vote to save decent democracy.
3. The proof: What a pleasure it must be for a huge Defence Force supplier - OUR defence force - to host a $5,000 a head gun-toting ā€˜Liberalā€™ Party fundraiser. This Govt sells its soul and our democracy very cheap.

We gotta cleanse corruption in Canberra FAST.

ANOTHER opportunity for #IndependentsDay candidates to put serious donation disclosure reform on the #ausvotes agenda.

Indies completely justified in operating under current law, otherwise they give Govt MPs an unfair & crippling advantage.

Will the Govt pledge reform too?
2. Maybe an #IndependentsDay candidate or two might ask the sitting MP to agree that both fully disclose donations in real time from the hand shake. Wouldnā€™t that be interesting :)
3. WILD: @JasonFalinskiMP says Labor must put all #IndependentsDay candidates LAST because @zalisteggall amended her donation return.

Jason, whatā€™s your #ausvotes #HonestPolitics plan? Debate it with @SophieScamps in #MackellarVotes?

Do you back Zaliā€™sā€™ PolAdsTruth bill?

There are some decent ideas here, but a howling void on the single biggest threat to UK manufacturing: a Brexit that rips firms out of Continental supply chains, imposes tariffs and delays at the border, and discourages investment in Britain as a gateway to the EU. [1/4]
On Brexit, the speech offers the usual fantasies & cake-ism. Labour will leave the *actual* Customs Union and replace it with ā€œa new, comprehensive customs union" of its own invention, with all "the same benefits we currently enjoy" but without the bits Mr Corbyn dislikes. [2/4]
This ā€œnew customs union" ā€“ once it has been conjured out of the air ā€“ will apparently secure ā€œfull, tariff-free accessā€ to the EU market, while ensuring "a British say in all future [EU] trade deals and arrangementsā€. And all without freedom of movement. #honestpolitics? [3/4]
