Nationals fear wrath of disenfranchised loyal voters in regional battlegroundsHe's a tradesman who owns his business, has a small mortgage on a nice house with a pool in a regional town, but this voter is working harder, feeling poorer and will change his vote in March. Of course, and they should too! WTF have the Nats done for any of their constituency in the regions for a decade? Zip, nada, not a sausage! The Nats now represent mining, agribusiness and Chinese expansion into our farming industry. Anyone not of the 1% is crazy voting for them! It’s about time they turned on their NON representatives, Nationals for too long have been there for big miners & themselves - the pollies

Scott Morrison to ignore vote on 'stupid' refugee bill | Sky News AustraliaThe Prime Minister says if he loses a border protection vote in parliament he will ‘simply ignore it’ because the bill is ‘stupid legislation’ and ‘written by people who haven’t got the faintest idea’. \n\nLabor is supporting the bill, which would make transfers for asylum seekers easier by giving the decision-making power to doctors. \n\nIf the government loses the vote, which they are expected to, it will be the first time since 1929 that a government has lost a vote on substantive legislation in the House of Representatives. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n Your advice has always been spot on Peta.
