THE UNSTOPPABLE GEORGE: No man, no law, no war, no NX, no Premier can stop him
The ALP nominations for preselection have closed and it really has descended into a carnivale de comedy.
While Keilor MP George Seitz was blocked from running by the National Executive, he has demonstrated that his legacy lives on by running candidates in at least ten state seats, just for a lark. The seats under attack from Seitz include Mordiallic, Carrum, Bundoora, Ivanhoe, Northcote (two candidates no less in there for good measure), Thomastown, Mill Park, Narre Warren North, Prahran and Lara. None of these nominations are likely to represent a serious challenge for the incumbents, but is an embarrassment for the Ambition Faction, who usually claim George’s votes, largely on the basis of a friendship cultivated by Feeney lieutenants Robin Scott and Adem Somyurek.
To make matters more amusing, the patriot went on leave yesterday, to relieve himself of the hassle of fielding angst-ridden calls from any of the MP’s under siege from Seitz. He is understood not to be answering his mobile phone which is – no doubt – ringing off the hook.
Scott himself faces an opponent in the form of former Socialist Left member turned Labor moderate and Moreland councillor Tony Helou. Robin’s backers are very confident he will survive any challenge in Preston, due to his high local profile and strong grass-roots support in the branches. Another stirrer having a crack is Joe Italiano who has nominated in Pascoe Vale, but is not expected to defeat long-term local MP and former Minister Christine Campbell.
There are also reports that elements associated with the CFMEU have nominated in a range of Left seats including Calwell, Yuroke, Altona, and Eltham. Perhaps the CFMEU Construction division were taking seriously future Liberal leader Terry Mulder’s push for Lynne Kosky (the MLA for Altona) to be removed from her Transport ministry. Their coalition with the socially conservative patriots of the SDA and NUW has raised eyebrows, it seems their Maoist style ideological flexibility knows no bounds.
We also hear that the Sports Minister’s Chief of Staff Lizzie Blandthorn personally lodged a nomination for the SDA trooper Kathleen Matthews-Ward in Northcote against Parliamentary Secretary and John Brumby favourite Fiona Richardson. It’s a bit harsh to blame Lizzie for what was no doubt an instruction from on-high but it’s not a good look for a chief of staff to a minister to be involved in attacking another member of the Brumby front-bench. We suspect all involved will have plenty of explaining to do despite Cr Matthews-Ward’s candidacy probably not representing a serious threat to Richardson.
To his credit, ex SDA patriot Stephen Donnelly, the chief of staff to Senator Feeney, was present at the lodging of the form and did his very best to dissuade Blandthorn from throwing this particular hand-grenade into the tinder-box.
Only one federal seat is under challenge, with the AMWU’s Andy Richards – a Geelong councillor and nice bloke – running in Calwell to give the somnolent Carr Lefty Maria Vamvakinou a bit of a wake-up call. He’s not expected to pursue it seriously though.

Never turn your back on a Croatian!
Useless old fool, the sooner he goes the better Victoria will be.
And as for Adem Somyurek [deleted].
George Seitz ia a fat, stupid, lazy waste of space who deserved to have a rocket put up him a decade ago.
Praiseth the Lord for my surname.
his an old man with nothing better to do
The west are the winners NOT
Natalie Sykes (/Anglo)
Bob [deleted] Smith (Anglo)
Telmo [deleted] Languiller
Marsha Thompson (Anglo)
Bill Shorten (Anglo)
O Conner (Anglo)
Rob Hulls (Anglo)
Don Nardall (Anglo)
People on the ground like Asip, Troy, Sebastian and Hakki need to wake up or your all going to get peanuts in the future. You have all been used & abused so you can fight each other. The only winners are the Anglo’s and the old timers who got a victory back in the hay days. If all you idiots on the ground work together and stopped being dictated believe me you would get something until then you get bugger all. They make you fight but what you don’t no is they sit around at parliament everyday laughing and scratching each other backs. Talk about a multicultural area.
adem wipes [deleted - take it easy lads]
There is a new book out, the smallest and shortest in history, so small in fact it does not need pages, it is called “George Seitz’s – Achievements As An MP”.
George Seitz is a stupid fat old bastard that should have been politically executed in the late 1980’s After drawing on the public purse for his income for over 26 years, with many more years of Parliamentary Pension to come, he has seen fit to crap all over the party that his given him his career. The fat turd should be shot.
ALP = hacks
Lets see how Brumby ‘the gutless’ deals with this problem. But knowing Brumby and how he operates, he wont’ do a thing and let Seitz rule the roost and why you ask???…….because he doesn’t have a Ombudsman Report identifying recommendations the Brumby ‘the gutless’ can simply adopt in an attempt to prove how holly than thou he is. What a joke, I can’t stand Seitz but I actually hope Seitz and all his candidates win all their preselections just to shove it up Brumby ‘the gutless’, now that would be priceless.
Stephen Donnelly Chief of Staff to Senator Feeney. Turn it up. Feeney does not have a COS, he has a few electorate staff. Give Donnelly a call on 0458 550 5xx and tell him to stop people giving him grand titles.I am sure he will appreciate the call. Clearly someone is trying to embarress him.
How unpatriotic can it get.
Has anyone actually told Garotti that he is just a running mate for Langdon and shouldn’t be ringing around POSC delegates trying to organise central panel votes?
Guess not.
Is that true Craig – you told me I was special!
You are Ricky, you are. No-one else would do what you are doing for me
Please delete the above posts – there are just too disturbing
I am after a new seat as well.
I’ll see if i can sniff one out for you Inga
Is there a polite way to describe how Craig likes to pass his time?
Helou for Preston-he couldn’t find his way there with a GPS and he lives in the neighbouring electorate. An asmar clone/clown? He is a disgrace.

Garotti is only ever one c*nt hair away from being completely and utterly irrelevant.
I’d just like to say that Craig has never forced me to do anything…
Perhaps I should have been nicer to the Tudors… Oh well, I guess my head will make a nice hood ornament for the Richardson express.
Sorry I dont understand that – im not here for my brains
My revenge has come in the year twenty nought nine. It’s all cabaret dancing and lose flapper women for George now!
There’s nothing wrong with what i enjoy
Not according to the various State and Commonwealth Laws.
Langdon is toast and Robin Scott has a pesky election he will blitz.
Mr Langdon, I am not sure if that really is the way they say hello in Europe. If I meet anyone else from Europe this week I am going to need a colostomy bag.
I might have a face like a shaved camel scrotum but I more than make up for it with my wit and renowned people skills. Oh, I just realised, I really am f*cked.
Robin Scott, A1 people skills.
Jesus made me do it.
Maybe Sav could have a [deleted]
My severed head will soon be able at a very reasonable price.
I’m sure Fiona is shaking in her boots over a challenge by Christine Campbell’s electorate officer/ Moreland Councillor. If you are playing hard ball shouldn’t you do better than this amateurish effort?
Fiona wouldnt be shaking she has the numbers secrued a long time ago. I would be shacking if i was Prince Robin the [deleted] of Preston his cantidate is the serious one.
I think that is my point that Richardson has nothing to worry about, so not sure why we are wasting time with these lame efforts. Surely the people of Darebin have endured enough with the Asmar clan and every other branch stacking nuff nuff on the scene. Why bother the crusty old branchies with this nonsense.
The fugly product of DLP/ Grouper nepotism – there is no need to call yourself DLP isnt it SDA??
I had better get back under my bridge, there are children to scare.
oh adem i love you. keep passing me those votes
I notice Theophanous hasn’t nominated for Northern Metropolitan, does this mean he has given up any hope of retaining his position and Lucky Murph has got the nod?
i am very talented and [deleted]
oh yeah please dont forget about me i still want to be an mp before im 60
SDA,Grouper, DLPer -really what’s the difference? All happy clappy and divisive….
I’d be happy to stand for ALP preselection if it meant I got a couple of free paddle pops every now and then
And a lifetime supply of KFC
An irrelevant fat slob who has so much shit on a number of current members is george. I just hope he spills his guts on everyone.
George will never learn. Someone nominate him for the next series of Biggest Loser (based on his size and talent) and lets watch him suffer a heart attack whilst attempting his second push-up.
Damn. I should’ve joined the ALP.
That stability pact is really working. Let’s flow it over to NSW QLD and other states.
Kosky is as useful as horse shit on a dog’s arse. Langular is as intelligent as a dust mite sucking the rubber of a tyre. Batchelor is as honest as Tuppence Moran’s banker. And Seitz is one of the most pathetic bastards in ALP state history but he IS protected by the fanatic right lead by Hulls the horrendous and is close mates with Judy the Dictator Madigan
jack, the guts available to spill are quite considerable. I’d know.
How could my mate Pauline Fegan spend this much money on anti labor activities like workchoices?

Most of the losers on this blog are not even fit enough to shine George’s shoes. Get over it you sad f#@ks.

O’Connor isn’t an Anglo, he’s a Celt. Wasn’t that long ago when the bog-trotters were 3rd class citizens in this country (1st Class = English imports (the bunyip aristos); 2nd class = native born Aussies of English descent; then a slow 3rd the micks.
George gave us Joan Kirner
What ever happened to that Nick Brain? Wasn’t he in line to get a seat at one stage?
Growing pot in Langdon’s backyard whilst looking after his bosses property was a “no-brainer” for Nick and sort of ended his career.

The GTM Express is coming.
Hulls would have to have his DNA on georges’ prolonged presence in the house. His own electorate officer Gordon Lennox is a convicted fraudster and has been allowed to continue in the office, so why would anyone worry about little things like George’s bingo receipts and branch stacking efforts.
ALP members in the west cant vote, but all have been invited to the local pub for drinks with Bill & Hulls!!
will seitz still take my photo at conference?
It will look awesome in my modelling portfolio
