It has been since the time of the first Greek parliaments. One of the most famous examples of this in more modern times is that of the three Kennedy brothers, John, Bobby and Ted all following their father, Joe Kennedy into the political arena. So it has been here in Australia with the likes of Doug Anthony (National Party) Mike Ahern (National Party) Simon Crean (Labor Party) Bob Katter (National Party/Independent) all following in their fathers footsteps.<br /> <br />Generally women do not enter political life if either one of their parents has been a politician. Annastacia Palaszczuk is one of only a few women that I can think of, who has done just that.Alison Allowaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-38825314185466970462016-04-30T12:02:13.825+10:002016-04-30T12:02:13.825+10:00Your right!

I do not know their name.<br /><br />Passions of Paradise managing director Alan Wallish I am told is an active member of the LNP who can be seen handing out HTV cards for the LNP at elections.<br /><br />Graham "Johnno" Johnson, owner of the Cock & Bull is a big game shooter (aha! maybe also a member of the "Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party") including elephants, and has tiger skins at his home. Alex Johnson, is Graham Johnson's son.<br /><br />So basically this story in the Courier Mail / Cairns Post was cocked up by the LNP/Shooters and Fishers Party, most likely with the creative input of Julian Tomlinson.<br /><br />I have also been told that a former campaign manager for the Unity Team now works with the Cairns Post.<br /><br />Apparently Unity Team was not registered at the time of the last election. Is anybody following that up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-11540498370739294492016-04-28T17:47:01.936+10:002016-04-28T17:47:01.936+10:00So the Cairns Post tells me the owner of the Cock ...So the Cairns Post tells me the owner of the Cock and Bull supports not allowing the Greens to go out to the reef to see damage first hand so they can continue to fleece tourists and pretend its not happening. With Greens support getting up to almost half of Labor's primary vote nationally that's that's a pretty brave thing to do especially when most of his clientelle would be young green oriented backpackers.

Also anti climate change which we require adaptive policies for urgently to ease insurance costs and he supports mining that again is a negative for tourism and agriculture.

When Gillard ousted Rudd, the media and shock jocks went into hysterical overdrive, whipping up a frenzy of hatred amongst the politically ignorant and stirring up misogynism. I was appalled at the sheer ignorance of people who were saying things like, "This is the first time in Australian history this has ever happened!" What hands down pants bullshit! Billy McMahon ousted sitting Prime Minister John Gorton, Mike Ahern ousted sitting Premier Joh Bjelke Petersen - just two examples of where this has happened in the past. It isn't uncommon at all to see a sitting Prime Minister or Premier deposed. We are a democracy after all, and nobody is given a "Divine Right" of tenure. The shock jocks play ruthlessly upon peoples ignorance. Wherever I see nonsense being parroted by shock jocks and their listeners, I try to counter it with the truth.Alison Allowaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-61998293786727639302016-04-24T23:32:19.271+10:002016-04-24T23:32:19.271+10:00No need to comment ,the article and comments have...No need to comment ,the article and comments have covered it ,say no more. sir cus.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-11721386260702898762016-04-24T13:02:17.516+10:002016-04-24T13:02:17.516+10:00Max looks like he was beaten with an ugly stick.

It's no bloody wonder we are witnessing a spike in domestic violence across the country as the right wing shock jocks and the Murdoch media machine in tandem with the Tories, demonise women leaders. Who can forget the way Julia Gillard was treated when she ousted sitting Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd? Compare that to the way Malcolm Turnbull was treated by the shock jocks and media machine when he ousted sitting Prime Minister, Tony Abbott. Quite a HUGE difference wasn't there? One rule for women, another rule for men.
