OZCUBAN Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Some good news: Ever wondered why Julia originally chose September 14 for an election date? For a PM to receive FULL parliamentary pension and perks, they need to be leader/PM for three years within a full term of government. Julia Gillard would have been eligible for the full parliamentary pension and perks on September 13 this year. Good news is she never made it, meaning she loses the perks and ... gets about 2/3rds of the Parliamentary Pension she would have got. She will still get more than she deserves, but at least it’s less than she could have received. If anyone was naive enough to think she ever cared about this country, hopefully they can now all see that for the entire period of her time as PM it was always ‘What’s in it for Me?’ Julia!

bugler Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Politicians are much the same the world over. What look like casual or arbitrary decisions normally have some degree of self-interest behind them. Once you get on that public sector money-teat it is very hard to wean!

Habanos2000 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 So a person cares about her financial future. What exactly makes this woman any different than any other person on this planet???? Politicians should be serving in the public interest, not their own. Can anyone offer up the name of a "good" politician? I have a hard time thinking of any.

Fuzz Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Politicians should be serving in the public interest, not their own. Can anyone offer up the name of a "good" politician? I have a hard time thinking of any. Over the last 50 years, here are the good PMs: William McMahon John Gorton John McEwen Harold Holt Robert Menzies Ben Chifley Why are the good? Because they're all dead and can't bother us again... unless the zombie apocalypse begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
