Hmmm not into puns luutzu?
I think this one dates back to Mark Twain's use, although like many of his attributed quotes they probably came from someone else.
Change again for Manus concentration camp, Trump now standing by agreement .... for now
No he has probably been told, we are the only friends they have, in this part of the World.lolWhoops, hold off, Trump hasn't made a decision yet
I agree. I have no problem with Turnbull funding his own campaign. Just don't see the point of the secrecy. Maybe it's media beat upWell I suppose Turnbull putting his own money up, is better than Labor, putting unionists money up.lol
If that happens

What it does highlight though is the Liberal Party almost sent itself broke to win the election because donations had plummeted due to a backlash over the leadership change.
I think Turnbull did the right thing. If he didn't then Shorten would be PM by now.

This is not to say that there isn't some sort of reciprocal agreement between the Libs and big business that does more or less the same thing.
but Shorten would IMO be horrendous.
Shorten IMO, is too tied up with the unions, this leads to a situation where a small minority have a disproportionate say in politics.
That situation already exists in the Senate, add to that the unions controlling the house of Reps, and IMO it is a recipe for disaster.
People are barking up the wrong tree, worried about Turnbull donating his own money when the Parakeelia is used to launder tax payer money to the Libs. How is it reasonable to award government contracts to a company owned by the Liberal party that then funnels most of that money back into the Liberal party via donations.You haven't heard of Parakeelia ?

You could equally say that Turnbull is too tied up with business leading to the giving away of billions of our money in corporate tax cuts that won't produce any benefits for decades as Turnbull admitted on 7:30, when we have budget deficit that his government doubled and that that they made such a fuss about when Labor was in power.
Now that is a recipe for debt and deficit disaster.
The difference is, companies give to both side of politics, you are implying they only give to the Libs. The companies, will and do fund both parties, in the hope of favourable outcomes whichever party gains office.
With regard to the unions, they give members money to one side of politics without the members permission, in return for this, they have disproportionate say in the process.
Shorten IMO, is too tied up with the unions, this leads to a situation where a small minority have a disproportionate say in politics.

Bill Shorten has a habit of destroying prime ministers... Rudd, Gillard, Abbott.
And on 7:30 Turnbull indirectly accused Bill Shorten of costing him $1.75m of his own money.
That's what you call pushing a friendship
