It's Gladys' turn to text Palletshed "BLUES!!!!" And the QLD govt paid a premium to have the game played in Redneck QLD
The Penrith boys did very well and I thought made the difference ..... they're raving about some poof from Manly .... never heard of him, doesn't play for the Dragons
Politicians all got pulled out of the abortion bucket in my view…They are all POS except for Gladys…And they tried hard to destroy her because she’s semi normal…
Except when she dates crooked pollies and then pretends it never happened ..... is she teflon coated ? I prefer lucky to smart, she got away with the Ruby Princess and the dodgy boyfriend ..... lucky lucky girl
Unfortunately it's been a long time (if ever) since most politicians were really in it to benefit the people.
I stupidly use to think they got into politics to improve Australia , both sides, but for the last 20 years the standard has dropped dramatically .... world-wide You'd think that the US could find better candidates than what they've been coming up with ... and look at the alternative to ScoMo, not good enough
Yeah well normal people like us need a bit of luck in life JM…It shows the rest are abnormal…Wonder how Dan is coming along after that terrible fall?….
Which is ironic considering they don't actually get paid that much. However, if you equate pay-check to intelligence or skills, they are way overpaid. Especially - and this is where I'll upset some - on the left of politics. The truth is most of them are career student / union / staffer hacks whom couldn't get a job operating Gary's pizza oven or Greg's spa in the real world. They are basically unemployable, so the idea of $200k and some "fame" is too much to resist.
I think it’s an amount the tax payers send you on the same day every month for doing FA if your a Politician….And if you are Dan you still get it if you are “ sick “ on your Mums farm for 3 months…..
I think you'll find it's a pay cheque. I got one once, and I'm pretty sure that's what it was called.
I think they should be paid less. $200k + all their expenses + 15% super + the fact they don't have to do a thing (staffers) and when they **** up they have no accountability = a very very cushy existence. That to most average people is a hell of a lot of money. If you dropped the wage to $150k and reign in the expense accounts it would attract more people with lived life experience that are in it to improve the country not just to put their snout in the trough. The people in Canberra now could earn lots more in the private sector but they have it so good why would they....
Hey Gaz, found this comment re the SOO game last night : Oh well, two more thrashings and it's all over .... I hate football
QLD played like grubs as usual, Munster kicking a NSW player and cheap shots all over the park that would land people in the sin bin or sent off in recent games
