Night time politics
That’s enough for me. I need to go and stick my eyeballs in a glass of water and my spirit in a decompression chamber.
Today:
Tomorrow, Shorten will still be hanging with his new bestie, Justin Trudeau. It will be the final day of the sitting week. Thanks to Paul Karp, Katharine Murphy, Gareth Hutchens, Katharine Murphy and Greg Jericho. Mike Bowers’ pictures were outstanding. And thanks everyone for your input. We couldn’t do it without you.
Goodnight.

The other quote I have pulled out of Pauline Hanson’s speech relates to her call for a halt to further immigration.The other quote I have pulled out of Pauline Hanson’s speech relates to her call for a halt to further immigration.
At present our immigration intake is 190,000 year. High immigration is only beneficial to multinationals, banks and big business seeking a larger market while everyday Australians suffer from this massive intake. They are waiting longer for their lifesaving operation, the unemployment queues grow longer, and even longer when government jobs are given priority to migrants. Our city roads have become parking lots, schools are bursting at the seams. Our aged and sick are left behind to fend for themselves and many towns and cities struggle to provide water for an ever-growing population. Our service providers struggle to cope due to lack of government funding, leaving it to charities to pick up the pieces. Governments both state and federal have a duty of care to the Australian people. Clean up your own backyard before flooding our country with more people who are going to be a drain on our society. I call for a halt to further immigration and look after our aged, sick and helpless first.At present our immigration intake is 190,000 year.
