Here's another feral who........

 "Peter Costello was a long-haired radical when he was young".

   

Don't anybody say he is no longer a politician, because less than 2 years ago he was intruding into Queensland politics doing a financial audit, being paid by the taxpayers.

That went well, not.

I couldn't find much about his legal career except that he worked for Corrs, but I did find this

Yes, Corrs Wesgarth, big firm before he moved on as a policy advisor to some Pollie for 2 years I think.

[debra9275]

he couldn't have worked for 10 years though as he graduated in 1990 , and was elected in 1996.. before 1996 he was Director of Policy to the Premier of New South Wales, before entering politics.

so i think he worked for only about 4 years as a lawyer

They're a bunch of ferals and I wonder if they go to Uni to actually study or just live the socialist Uni student lifestyle.

At taxpayers expense, mind you, because they probably study on a HECS loan which is never repayed because most of them would never get a job once they can no longer feasibly stay in Uni, and will continue their political agendas whilst living on government benefits.

Like this guy you mean? 

He was a research assistant to Senator Amanda Vanstone and later became President of the South Australian Young Liberals from 1988–1990. Pyne was selected as the Liberal candidate for the state seat of Ross Smith – a safe Labor seat – at the 1989 election, but was defeated by the sitting member and Premier of South Australia, John Bannon

I know, there's plenty of career politicians on all sides, but that was just too funny to pass up 

---

Yes, where are the howls about "never had a real job in the real world before they were politicians" about him and others on the same side?

Or does that barb only apply to Labor politicians?

---

No, the greens cop that line too.

Comply with police or be pepper sprayed, it's not that hard.

The kids are idiots that is not the way to have your protest taken seriously, they care about nobody but themselves and have no self respect or self discipline.

The police use pepper spray when it pleases them. The other day a police unit was on my train checking tickets. When a couple of people failed to produce a ticket one cop peppered sprayed them while the other cop laid into them with a night stick. An old pensioner tried to protest but she too was sprayed and the cops thew her wheelchair off the train. Then as I walked home from the station I saw the cops doing a random licence check on a motorist. The poor motorist failed to produce his licence in the allowed 3.7 seconds so they peppered sprayed him and his two brat kids in the backseat.

The cops use their pepper when and how they please. Sarcasm off/
