Government Arseclown Kelly O'Dwyer

[Play by Numbers]

$6000 toasters, #fakefamily and made up copyright claims. Risks doing a Mirabella and turning a safe lib seat into a marginal.

For all the heat someone like Pilbaserk cops, at least she is fairly competent.

One of the worst front benchers for the current government and am unsure why she receives so little angst from coalition fans.

Even when she speaks she sounds illiterate. She is terrible she shouldn't be near a front bench

 

[Crankyhawk]

That's funny! I remember Kelly from student union days. Never struck me as particularly competent, was surprised to see how far she rose (slanderous scuttlebutt from left focus notwithstanding)

Cut them some slack, it's not like they are loaded up on women on said front bench.

No slack to be cut she is incompetent

What price Cash?

Nails on a chalkboard.

Win, or lose, what a great run from Jason Ball, the SMH called Higgins blue ribbon Liberal when The Greens first announced him as their candidate. At worst it'll be marginal going into the next Parliament.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

As far as "fake family" goes, I always assume every family in every ad (political or not) is made up of actors. The bogus copyright claim is simply bizarre, and unworthy of anyone wanting to stay in (or enter) parliament. When couple with her performance on Q&A, I wonder if she is simply unwell.

Kelly herself got where she is simply because of Peter Costello's backing, not it would seem because of any particular smarts on her part. Its very hard to see her losing Higgins, despite her best attempts and solid Green support in the western part of the electorate.

She belongs in a barn. She lacks empathy and has dead eyes. Belongs with all the other livestock.

From the Peter Dutton school of politicians.

Think she's more than a tad concerned about the once blue ribbon seat. She spent most days outside the pre-poll booth in Glenferrie Road glad handing everyone who glanced in her direction. Agree she is grossly overrated.

The only person from the Libs that made sense all night was Sinodinis -

Hopefully the blow torch gets put back on him when parliament resumes

 

[pugsville]

oh come on she could not be worse as a minister as hockey or dutton. the bar is pretty darn low (and include both sides in this, there is a shortage of talent) and my gripe is the 'player development' of political parties seems pretty non existent. don't they look at training and development to be better representatives and ministers?

He might be corrupt but he's competent!

 

[Brown Bottle]

Imagine if LNP voters cared about any of that stuff, instead of about which leader you'd supported in the spill. She would have been (deservedly) dead in the water

They need to have a VFL level House of Reps so that politicians can be developed, played in their correct positions and dropped for poor form.

Should there be politician development all the way up from junior level as well perhaps?

Well, Kelly did that, started off in university politics - liberal side there - which meant for VSU and... not much else..apart being a punching bag for the heavily "left orientated" parties in control of Melbourne uni politics at the time - left focus/ broad left groups.

Far far too many come "through the system" as it is. Student politics, Young (insert party name), union and/or party offices, finally a chance at pre-selection if they spent enough years schmoozing the right people. And then, provided the served the party above the electorate, off to some taxpayer funded jaunt on some advisory board or another; or if high profile federally and a thorn in someone's side, talked into taking an ambassadorship above and beyond the people trained up with a career in international diplomacy.

 

[Slax]

Rumours circulating though parts of the Liberal Party that the locals are looking to find someone to challenge her for pre-selection before the next federal election. Not sure how true they are, but she is definitely on the nose with the locals in Higgins.

 

[AM]

We shouldn't be surprised O'Dwyer would appoint a worker hater to be her flunky. After all she takes instructions form the IPA as a fully paid-up member and apologist. Incompetent bitch!

 

[Crankyhawk]

Well, she was always a member of the liberals as far back as her university days. so no real surprise.

 

[NSWCROW]

THANOS !!!!

Many are active in student politics. Nothing new there. She has become rabid as her affiliation with the IPA shows.
