ABC is reporting that ALP MLA in Brindabella Karin McDonald won’t contest the next ACT election in October.
Also, ALP preselections open next month.
Apparently she hs an “exclusive” interview in the City News due out today about it all…

I was wondering when I heard her announcing her retirement whether she’d served enough time to max out her super.
How much unfunded superannuation will this nonentity entitle herself to?
btw, CC’s not fat pandy, quite skinny infact. I’d compare her to a rake but it wins on intelligence.
Crazy Chester has nailed it – “…I admit calling them “whores” … a definite insult to workers in the sex industry.”
Exactly, If you paid money to a hooker you expect to see a result – but with Ms McDonald we got what exactly – seven years of … anyone, anyone, anyone, Bueller?
EMD – apart from boring trivia like geography and constitutional issues, why don’t we feel free to hitch the ACT’s wagons to whichever national or regional star seems sanest at the time. The Vics – no real problems, if you like constipated AFL goths. NSW – a sewer full of morons. Tassie – we’d lose on the headcount. Queensland – a banjo for every child. SA – vhildren? where are they? WA – they might as well be OS anyway.
I think I would prefer that we become an outpost of Victoria than suffer either the ALP or Liberal offerings for self-government.
If we did become an outpost of Victoria, could we get some more Fitzroy-style cafes? And maybe a more creative local arts scene, and improved chance of attracting big-name touring bands?
Chester – there are things people might think, but probably shouldn’t say and I think you’ve said some of them. Can I assume you have a therapist? If so, you should tell him or her what you have been saying on this thread (and perhaps others) because it might be important in some way.
Well I’ve now been referred to the Domestic Violence Crisis Service by an ACT Government agency and they’re offering to assist me with intimidation by the ACT Government.
RFLMAO!!!
There’s one person here with a very small penis complex. His name is Jon Stanhope. Everybody who buys into his BS is, in my books a whore, because they’ve sold their soul to the devil.
The Devil is Jon Stanhope.
The dude is a sick, twisted, f*ck. Come to terms with it people.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. My politics is far left. Stanhope and Co. are as crooked as all get out. Wake the f*ck up people. Jesus Christ, Canberrans are an embarrassment. Look at the Thwara Bridge debacle.
Just how much BS will you people swallow?
It might have somthing to do with the fact thar Zed’s restructuring his ministry-in-waiting and Standope’s left with the task of which side of the Titanic to set the deck-chairs up on.
They’ll find another Labor poof to keep the seat warm – It’ll be some back room hack with the personality of a pot plant and the charisma of syphillus. I speak the truth.
(Hope that appeases the masses) 🙂

nice phrase, you misogynistic turd.
NckD – while I’m sure Ingeegoodbee needs no defending, there is no reason a whore must be female. One has only to think of some journalists before the last election, radio presenters who say what their sponsors tell them and public servants whose only gift is a capacity to echo their superiors and Ministers.
The selection of a useless hack for the spot is presumably a given, given the woeful talent available to the local ALP and the energy wasted on factional bitching. Ms McDonald has managed a couple of terms on the backbench – in a Government where Mr Hargreaves and Mr Corbell have been Ministers, this is eloquent about her limitations.
I have said it before, and will probably say it again – we would get a better legislative assembly by using shopper dockets or a chook raffle.
You mean there’s an election coming up in the ACT? I vote for being taken over by Victoria (after all, NSW is stuffed). And the town could do with some Victorian-type law enforcement. Capsicum spray for double-parkers!
Toughen up douche-bag. It’s a turn of phrase. At least Liberal MLAs are expected to be able to tell the diference between sh!t and clay!
“They’ll find another Labor whore to keep the seat warm”
Woman in politics = prostitutes. Charming, and probably libellous. Does this site have moderators?
[Ed. yes it does. ]

As one clown goes, the ALP starts the search for another, confident in the expectation that any time serving hack they put up will be elected. Such is the state and capacity of the local Libs that the ALP is probably right.
We’ve got more than 300,000 people. Surely we can do better than the ALP drones, the Lib drones and Foskey that we have now.
She always reminded me of a rat.
Seems appropriate she is seeking to leave a sinking ship.
Good riddance.
He wasn’t absent Mr Evil, he just had his iPod going listening to Beds are Burning.
“He should do a Rudd and tell them all to shut up.”
Peter Garrett must have been absent the day he said that? 🙂
No big loss….she hasn’t done very much. I hope Gentleman, Smyth and Pratt also get out and give someone with some talent a run.
Failing that, we will be seeing a new brigade of loopy independents getting elected, or more greens.
“Mr Stanhope says the Government will have a tough battle to keep its majority under the ACT’s electoral system, where incumbency is an advantage.”
If Zed cracks the whip and gets a bit of discipline happening in the ACT Liberals, Stanhope might have a tough battle to keep his pants, let alone a majority! 🙂
Well, I live in hope! 🙂
