There's already a Muslim in the Federal parliament. Ed Husic. Nasty ALP. What about this then?

In October 2016, it was announced that Andrew Robb (LNP)had joined the Landbridge Group—a Chinese company which had been granted a 99-year lease on the Port of Darwin in 2015—as a "high-level economic consultant".

ikr...I thought lesbians were gay. What's wrong with just using gay for the lot?

most lesbians prefer the terms gay men and lesbians because while both groups like the same sex as their own there are still major differences due to gender

Such is life.

Why not seek the best candidate for each seat? This is pure lunacy which puts in doubt the ALP's claim to be the 'party of ideas'. It seems as if the ALP has run out of ideas.

Wow, talk about deja vu! This is the same argument that was trotted out when it was first suggested that women should be given more of a look in when it came to selecting candidates.

In reality, "affirmative action" doesn't give anyone a unfair advanage, it simply gives them "a fair go" as in making sure those doing the choosing do not automatically (and often unthinkingly) dicriminate against them.
