The world is short of inspirational visionaries.

Or even solid leaders.

KP I got to thinking if a convicted felon is still eligible for the office of President, what previous crimes and misdemeanours have occurred in that office under the same legal circumstances?

Definitely not the reason for LNP politicians to stay active in politics... all indications are they're in it for the billionaire 'friends' or insider knowledge for their Cayman island money or the travel perks into the future

Both major parties have plenty working in mining and defence.

Do you have a compilation of them all?

Not at hand, I’m sure it’s online somewhere.

Probably more coalition ex MPs in mining, partly because they’ve been in government a lot.

Top of my head, Beazley, Combet, Emerson, Fitzgibbon, and Marles as soon as he can arrange it. Pyne, Hockey, Morrison, Canavan, even though he’s still a senator.

I saw this young person on the abc this morning and I couldn’t help thinking what are we leaving behind for our younger generation. The next election will be a testament to what we prioritise.
What’s in it for me?
Or, saving our planet for the future of our children and their children?

I admire and respect ppl like Anjali, what a champion. I often think about my 9 year old granddaughter and her future on our dying planet. I won't be around much longer, but our children will, and it sickens me to the core. What will it take
