Bad Behaviour and Unproductive Parties in Federal Politics

There is enough material available to publish a book on bad behaviour in federal politics, all these people have had or have ongoing bad behaviours and One Nation would be one of the most unproductive parties, with a destructive leader, destructive policies and is of very poor value tor taxpayers. A book and some analysis about it all is needed.

Tony Abbott
Peter Dutton
Barnaby Joyce
Cory Bernardi
Pauline Hanson
Bob Katter
Fraser Anning
George Christensen
David Leyonhjelm
Eric Abetz
Kevin Andrews
Angus Taylor

Heaps of other poor example politicians as well.

Some of the behaviours observed…

Racism, Sexism, bullying, intimidation, alt right extremism, veiled threats, human rights abuse and other offensive behaviours….

There seems to be no pursuit of excellence with these people and they end up with poor observation, closed brains, and display themselves as hypocrites, incompetent and not fit for office.

You then read of all these coverups from the 20th and 21st century amongst numerous nations and think these people are and have been in charge of running entire nations and the safekeeping of the population and shudder.
Reading of various nuclear and biological disasters and it came down to complete incompetence most of the time and these are highly dangerous operations we are talking about how can they manage normal affairs at all.

Agree.

Early on in his career, when Howard was shadow finance minister, he tried to destroy Australia’s economy by creating a run on the banks. I’ve never forgiven him for that.

What was the reason for this attempt, and how did he go about it?

I wouldn’t have thought that shadow finance minister was an awfully good position from which to attempt this manoeuvre.

Oops. It was Fraser, not Howard. On or shortly before 22 Feb 1983.

I think we need a tad more information as that’s no ringing any bells.

Fraser was still PM in February 1983.

Moll was possibly talking about the election campaign that month, when Fraser suggested people’s savings would be “safer under the bed” if Labor won.

Hawke replied by retorting “But that’s where the reds are!”

Thanks. Looks like my memory is going.

Howard was always an agenda person. He really never had an idea of the ramifications but stuck to his agendas anyway.

At least Fraser was one of a very few politicians who proved to have learned from their experience as a politician and went on to do good work as a better person after politics. Pity he didn’t do that while he was in government.
