LNP a complete rabble

Normal night for the Nationals

Grew up in the NT I remember a politician wrapping a microphone cord around a reporter’s neck and trying to lift him up! Only in the NT!

That’s ok as females are not liable for their actions !

“Physically punch”? - how else does one “punch”?

Lovely. Not

Which pub?

It's possible alot of Australians feel like doing that to the Nationals.

Such class in The Nationals

Alcohol again.... we paid for her and the individual to be there. Air flights, accommodation, and food, and DRINKS. It is time they pay for their own food and drinks.

Oh if it is true then let us make it a law. We should also be allowed to punch her or others.

Fine NT tradition.

I don't know whether to condemn her or not. I mean I don't believe in violence...but it's against a politician! So confused!
