Incredibly the perennial Warren Entsch has managed to hang onto the seat of Leichardt defeating Labor’s gay candidate Elida Faith, a former Centrelink worker.
Liberal Warren was champion of the same sex marriage bill which passed through parliament last year after a dodgy postal plebiscite which saw 248,000 envelopes returned to the ABS marked ‘return to sender, not known at this address.’
These fictitious entries which originated from the roll remain on it. As a result you may use your imagination as to the election outcome in marginal seats, just like Warren’s.
In Leichardt, the Christopher Skase Utopia of Port Douglas is Queensland’s significant gay garrison and its foot soldiers to a man and woman (woops, fluid genderless persons) supported Warren.
Cairns has a reputation nationally and internationally as the ‘gay capital’ of Queensland so Warren was on safe ground taking the multitude of gays under his arm.
Ditto for Cairns northern suburbs such as Palm Cove which has a large ‘fluid’ population.
Similar to the result in many other electorates across Australia fearful voters simply wanted to reject the ABC/ALP/Green climate change rubbish and voted with their feet, ignoring the independents.
Fortunately only a few Liberal MP’s believe the UN’s global warming or climate change agenda which has been designed through the Paris Agreement on Climate to transfer even more wealth from developed nations to black juntas in Africa.
The blacklisting of coal by the ABC/ALP/Greens triumvirate and the potential loss of franking credits for several million retirees was the hapless Shorten’s Achilles heel.
As re-elected Member for Dickson(north of Brisbane) the much maligned Liberal Peter Dutton said it was the best help anyone could get after the Shorten-aligned GetUp doorknocked his electorate vigorously trying to slander his reputation.
Hi oldavid Jeremy is not a relative. Editor
To my mind, Warren Entsch is an example of the craven turds that illustrate Aristotle’s principle.
Are you, Robert J Lee, any relation to Jeremy Lee of “The Institute of Economic Democracy”?
Whether you are or not the great tragedy is that neither economy nor democracy are what is imagined by the plebiscite. Economy is not about “making money”; it is the production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods and services. Money is a man-made convenience to facilitate economic activity.
I agree with Aristotle that democracy is the dictatorship of the ignorant; or, more contemporarily, the dictatorship of the smarmiest liars and con-men.
Robert, some things once seen, cannot be unseen. This includes the mental image generated by your headline. Gah, the horror!
I would like to see that 248000 looked into
