KateEllisMP cynicism has been created by politicians rorting the taxpayer through their 'entitlements' mentality that is so remote from community expectations. Politicians do no act for their electorates, its all about the party line, history clearly shows that.
KateEllisMP In my experience, they get their staffers to tell you there’s nothing they can do to help you, and from what I can see in this clip, eat a lot of free food!
KateEllisMP Politics 'wouldn't be as bad' if I knew about Mathias Corman's behind the scenes: “Fly-Now-Pay-When-You-Get-Sprung” payment plan with HelloWorld.
KateEllisMP Weird that people in an electorate wouldn't know much about what a local member does? Perhaps if our Parliamentarians didn't behave like such mugs on a daily basis, we'd appreciate them more?
