I must've been the only fool that did

I saw a bit of it in the middle, while channel flicking after I'd watched something else, but got bored quickly.

[Leaping Lindner]

I watched the whole thing , and both participants were dreadful. Neither managed to answer a single question, but instead waffled on with the party line. If that was a job interview both would have missed out, and been told to get their shit together before the next job interview they go to.

Matt and Dave up to their usual tricks, looking all clever ambushing someone on a topic they aren't well versed in. Those two cocky pricks get up my nose.

There was no ambush: superannuation was the main topic of discussion
She would have be given the heads up like the rest of them

Adam Bandt was later on radio trying to cover for SHY and he finished up waffling and back-tracking too.
I've met SHY a few times - very opinionated and relies on talking over others rather than making a case.
Mark Parnell is more competent and reasonable to discuss issues with than either of the above.*

*So is the LIbs Cory Bernardi - I've debated the case for allowing gay marriage with him.
He didn't change his mind but he listened and didn't get aggro like SHY does.

I met her some years back now and its funny really because I would have said exactly the same thing about her back then. Seems like nothing has changed.

As far as the train wreck interview went, there may well be none better for some time.

Is it over yet??

The Liberal Democratic Party of NSW Senator David Leyonhjelm considered entering an agreement to accept $500,000 from an Adelaide businessman in return for making him a lead Senate candidate for the party at the July 2 election.

Fairfax Media has obtained leaked documents that propose a deal in which Roostam Sadri, a property developer and former abattoir owner, would hand over $500,000 on the condition he be placed in the No.1 position on the Liberal Democrats ticket.

Mr Sadri was this week listed as the Liberal Democrats' only Senate candidate in South Australia and said on Friday that he would launch his campaign with $100,000 in advertising on Tuesday.

The proposed deal has shocked electoral law experts George Williams and Graeme Orr, who described the document as "as blatant as it gets".

[shoe boy]

[Jimmy_041]

WTF is NSW senator Dastyari doing here in Adelaide?
I thought he was a waste of oxygen until I met him - I now know it
Gobby + vacuous

[shoe boy]

Howards reference to Xenophon being liked to Hanson and Trump !! Please

These comments while he is campaigning with loose goose BRIGGS.

PS where is DUD DUTTON? you cant hide him for ever .

[Jimmy_041]

He's probably campaigning in his home state unlike Dastyari who, apparently, can afford to promote himself anywhere
Where's Don Farrell? He can tell us all what wonderful achievements he made last time. Too bad he has to give up the State gifts of a gravy train

[shoe boy]

Morrison making Dutton look good !!!
You are the government twat !!!

Liberal Party MP Andrew Hastie has been sacked from the Army's Standby Reserve for failing to remove political advertising of him campaigning in uniform.

Andrew Hastie has accused the Australian Defence Force of trying to push him around over a refusal to remove photos in military uniform from election advertising, an act of disobedience that prompted the Australian Army to sack the Canning MP.

The high profile backbencher hit back over claims he was politicising the armed forces, accusing former army chief, retired Lieutenant General David Morrison, of doing the same.

"David Morrison politicised the ADF long before I ever put my mug on a billboard. In fact, he hastened my exit from the army into politics," Mr Hastie said of the of the Australian of the Year who gained national fame for demanding women be treated equally within the armed forces.

The former special forces soldier who served in Afghanistan, was sacked from the Standby Reserve, a wing for former active army members, this week after refusing to comply with orders to remove a 2009 photo of him wearing his uniform from election campaign billboards and flyers.

On Thursday, the Department of Defence confirmed Mr Hastie's service had been "terminated" for breaching strict rules designed to protect the apolitical nature of the ADF.

On Tuesday, a spokesman for the AEC confirmed the matter had been referred to the Australian Federal Police for investigation.

Electoral experts have suggested the two-part agreement, which Liberal Democrat leader David Leyonhjelm and Mr Sadri insist was never signed, could break a number of electoral laws - even if it was never signed.

"The AEC is concerned at any alleged breaches of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 and treats such matters seriously. The AEC will review the allegations contained in the article and relevant additional information before deciding on further action," said an AEC spokesman.
