Yes im starting a political thread

[kilroy_is_here]

Yes I'm starting political thread ,in the words of my 6 year old build a bridge and then jump off it.
What concerns me more than any other thing about this election is how a protester can be allowed to get so close to our pm & for so long (regardless who it is) & not be challenged or removed immediately , if he had a knife or a gun we could have been looking a tragedy . Extremely bad slip in security

'it could have been anyone' .. including someone with a valid question or 2. apart from john newman, the only attempt at a political assasination in aust was on Arthur Calwell, slow news day.

Not true

1802 pemulwuy
1894 William Paisley mayor of burwood
1977 Donald MacKay
1994 John Newman state member for cabramatta

All victims of political assination

Slack security. Who was responsible? Don't the LNP care about possible attacks on their new PM elect?

''For the purposes of this article, an assassination is defined as the deliberate, premeditated murder of a prominent figure, often for religious or political reasons.'' (the wiki article you referenced from)

which leaves us with newman. mackay was killed for campaigning against drugs not by a political opponent.

the only attempt on a federal leader was calwell.
