Scrap political pensions.<br />Politicians can purchase their own retirement plan, just as most other working Australians are expected to do.<br />2. Retired politicians (past, present and future) participate in Centrelink.<br />A Politician collects a substantial salary while in office but should receive no salary when they're out of office.<br />Terminated politicians under 70 can go get a job or apply for Centrelink unemployment benefits like ordinary Australians.<br />Terminated politicians under 70 can negotiate with Centrelink like the rest of the Australian people.<br />3. Funds already allocated to the Politicians' retirement fund be returned immediately to Consolidated Revenue. This money is to be used to pay down debt they created which they expect us and our grandchildren to repay for them.<br />4. Politicians will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Politicians pay will rise by the lower of, either the CPI or three per cent.<br />5. Politicians lose their privileged health care system and participate in the same health care system as ordinary Australian people.<br />i.e. Politicians either pay for private cover from their own funds or accept ordinary Medicare.<br />6. Politicians must equally abide by all laws they impose on the Australian people.<br />7. All contracts with past and present Politicians men/women are void effective31/12/14.<br /> <br />The Australian people did not agree to provide perks to Politicians, that burden was thrust upon them. Politicians devised all these contracts to benefit themselves. Serving in Parliament is an honour not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so our politicians should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.Tony Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811119917896735831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-30900095884242736732015-01-07T14:41:49.715+10:002015-01-07T14:41:49.715+10:00When can we vote out Manning?When can we vote out Manning?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-57240016233464624972015-01-07T13:26:33.837+10:002015-01-07T13:26:33.837+10:00If Palmer is prepared to bankroll a candidate here...If Palmer is prepared to bankroll a candidate here, you can bet he would have quite a roll up of self serving wanna be MPs most of whom would be sewer rate deserting the sinking ship of the LNP.

I'm thinking the same therefore as NYM. Someone connected with the LNP will pop up for sure under the PUP banner and run a campaign of sheer deceit trying to convince voters they aren't really Tories. Hopefully the voters won't be fooled by this trickery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-3329364939957037742015-01-07T10:08:02.338+10:002015-01-07T10:08:02.338+10:00Just watched King on a video clip somewhere saying...Just watched King on a video clip somewhere saying something about the chaos in the Cairns hospital. Yeah we know. How many thousands are on the waiting list for surgery? Dont know about Byrne joining Palmers look after me party but I would believe some slimeball self serving prick of a bastard will be endorsed by PUP here. Palmer will cough up all the dough needed for the campaign and whoever stands will be guaranteed at least 20% of the vote as disgusted LNP voters turn away from King in droves. So why wouldnt somebody not stand for PUP? Im not a political expert but I would deduct that the race in Cairns would be between the ALP and PUP.
