        The Toilet paper has done one good thing , confirming what the village has known for a long time , Craig Kelly is an idiot . Says something about Turnbull allowing Kelly to road test this Hansonistic stupidity.

        What do you expect the Leader of the Opposition to do about the government giving money to Rupert Murdoch? Shorten can make a noise about it, but Turnbull has the numbers in the House and the keys to the petty cash tin. #AusPol

        I just expect him to put a lot more pressure on the govt over this. This is a big issue that has escaped criticism in the main.

Note the "should have shot him dead" comment which wasn't deleted. Mr Kelly or his staff must have seen it. https://www.facebook.com/CraigKellyMP/photos/a.117937578400885.1073741828.117871478407495/290161507845157/?type=1&theater …pic.twitter.com/HpGDDW285H

        does he get a bonus from Murdoch everytime he (and others) try to trash ABC? Or has Murdoch given up the honest desire to purchase it and now just ensuring his hacks involved in management?

        More crime in NSW and Queensland, far higher rates of crime per 100,000 people, but Craig Kelly adds his utter ignorance and stupidity about Victoria. The biggest pity is electors in his own seat who keep voting for him; all still struggling to graduate from kindergarten ...

        I’m in that electorate. Many work very hard to remove him but the electorate stretches across across a mini Bible Belt in Menai to the deeply conservative migrant enclaves in Liverpool. @LiberalNSW should take responsibility for pre-selecting this goose. #Hughes deserves better

        Unfortunately this electorate would elect Coco the Clown if he ran under the Lib banner. The previous incumbent was Dana Vale..notable for her brilliant idea to build a replica Gallipoli on the Mornington Peninsula & spending taxpayer $$ to visit Moulin Rouge in Paris

        1/2 Unfortunately, it is a sad fact #Lib electorates seem to prefer the biggest idiots and continuously elect them. I have long thought the Libs should just stand gorillas wearing blue ties and those electorates would still vote Lib.

        2/2 WA Labor won in a landslide, because the previous #LNP state government was so incompetent it sent the WA economy into a worse state than in the Great Depression of 1930. 16 seats still re-elected LNP MPs partly responsible for that. Reality has no impact on LNP voters ...

        These Federal Liberals are showing quite clearly that they are only interested in their own seats in parliament, not the good of Australia. I don't know how safe Craig Kelly's seat is, but I hope its marginal. Their self-interest is monumental.
