How disappointing for the LNP in WA

Both poor results for the 2 major parties, Clive bank rolled a seat for one of his staff members, the guy works for Clive...  Clive wants the carbon and Mining tax gone so it will help Tony

 

The end result is status quo LNP 3 Labor 1 and the other 2   no real news here at all

not what I have read nero:

Labor, the Australian Greens and the Palmer United Party (PUP) are each likely to have picked up one seat in WA's re-run senate election, while the Liberals have seized two seats - but it is the elusive sixth spot that has many on edge.

If the government's third candidate, Linda Reynolds, does not win, it will be the worst result for the Liberals in the WA senate for 25 years.

But if Labor's Louise Pratt loses, it will be a blow to the ALP, which has criticised the federal government's refusal to release its Commission of Audit report before the WA poll, which reportedly contains recommendations for savage budget cuts.

Woman LOLWoman LOLWoman LOL maybe this......

 

Greens leader Christine Milne says Prime Minister Tony Abbott is governing in the interests of mining magnates and media moguls and predicts he will be unable to manage an unruly Senate after July 1.

 

Mr Abbott campaigned in Western Australia for the state's half-Senate election on Monday, highlighting his government's commitments to repeal the carbon and mining taxes.

 

But in a speech at the National Press Club on Tuesday, Senator Milne will describe the Coalition as an ''Abbott, Murdoch, Rinehart collaboration directed and promoted by the Institute of Public Affairs''.

I am surprised that the Greens are doing so well....especially with Clive and his millions, and the other parties spending so much on the election with their huge donations.

The Greens operate on a shoestring because they do not accepts donations from businesses or companies, only individual supporters..

It is their policy....always has been.

Has anyone seen Clive?

The PUP candiate, was asked if he had seen Clive around, as he was noticeably absent.

The puppet candidate (who was also MIA for interviews and comments in the leadup to the election) said he had only seen Clive once in the past week at a breakfast.

I think it was very much a vote of respect for Scott Ludlum.

 

And I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Louise Pratt manages to grab that last seat.
