Tudge will never win Aston preselection.

Tudge only joined the Liberal Party when he was 28 because the ALP rejected his advances.

I was involved in Liberal Student politics in the early 1990s at Melb Uni and Tudge never identified himself as a Liberal voter or supporter.

Anon … you must be a Tudge apologist! He joined when he was 34, and only after he had been a ministerial adviser for 18 months. His non-membership was raising many eyebrows, and his boss at the time (Nelson) told him that, as he could attest to from his own experience, you can join a party and then switch if the electoral mode changes. Tudge told his mates at the time that even though he was anxious about joining a party, the advice from Nelson gave him some solace because he could always switch parties and cite Nelson as a precedent.

So another trendy lefty wants to become an MP representing ordinary outer suburban battlers. Groan! The liberal party does not need another greg hunt type in its ranks who cant even decide what party he wants to join until 10 days before his preselection form goes in

Sounds fair enough. Let’s make all union fees voluntary.

hahaha … Alan is running for Aston? I haven’t spoken to him for a while, but after he failed to get any traction for Goldstein, he told me that he had realised he needed to pick his targets more carefully, and that he would ‘fcuking roll” Kevin Andrews. What happened, did he get lost along the way?

his argument is that VSU will result in ‘user-pay toilets’ … what a scoundrel. a dishonest politician, another Brendan Nelson, an out of touch sympathiser with our opponents – not good enough!

Liberals that join the Party late in life, that are strongly opposed to VSU and that don’t care two hoots about Conservative values are exactly the type of candidate that I would support.

Just ask Ryan Smith.

I don’t support VSU

Txt me Tudgey.
RDR

who else is putting their hand up for aston?

Have no idea who Alan Tudge is and if he is nominated will vote for anyone but him – simply because he isn’t a local. We are a very weird breed out here – we hate outsiders with a venomous passion. Especially party hacks whose only claim to fame is that they once made coffee for some obscure backbencher or spent a summer stuffing envelopes at 104 Exhibition St.

Local Liberals reckon that the 3 most likely to put their hands up are Manny Chickyello but the powers that be in Aston hate his guts so he’s a no go. Sue McMullett doesn’t live in the area and is on the nose as a serial pre-selection nominee and failure and that leaves Chris Pearces’ namessake Derwin (Global Warming Denier) Pearce.

He’s got a high profile (not always flattering but still has a hight recognition factor) and he actually lives in the Electoral

Rumours are rife that with Chris (piano man) Pearce going, the ALP might actually take the time to contest Aston this time. Will see it when I believe it.

As for the ‘Left and Right’ of the party. Who gives a toss if they aren’t a local?

Oh and the VSU – WTF is that? Does it meet in Aston?

Has Craig “rammed it home”?

Did Alan really think he could pull the wool over everyone’s eyes? Despite his tenuous commitment to any Liberal values, he has been caught out playing both sides of the Victorian Division. Dumb move.

Carbines is a stool pusher as well!

A candiate with no idea, he is perfect for the people of Aston

where does tudge live?

where does tudge live

Tudge lives in Bulleen. Only recently moved there thinking Andrews was going to call it quits. Now all of a sudden he is an Aston local. Aston voters value locals, but they value honesty even more. Tudge should stop pretending to be something he is not. He is treating Aston preselectors like idiots.

Anyone who is dumb enough to run for preselection for the Liberal Party under the current circumstances is looking at defeat when it comes election time. That said l’m not in anyway saying this out of spite for what happened to myself at Kooyong, but more so relying on my psychic abilities. And they refer to major trouble for the Liberal Party ahead!!.

Alan Tudge
Alan Tudge
He will not budge
But he makes really good fudge

The next Member for Ashton must continue my fondling of Chrissy Pyne.

Tudge lives in Menzies.

This is the guy, like his former boss, Nelson, that has boasted that he never voted Liberal until after he joined the Party.

Who the f*** is Alan Tudge?

I should run for Aston. I’ve got a better chance of winning Aston than getting fourth spot on Eastern Metro.

Oompa, great question.

Even Manny would make a better Member for Aston than Rat Dog Riva.

RDR will be asking Simon Overland to re-enter the Victorian Police Force after the preselection for Eastern Metro.

Tudge sounds like my kind of Liberal. Although I am concerned by the suggestion that he has actually voted Liberal since becoming a Party Member.

He should vote DLP, as Menzies did, as I do. This is the only way to defend the Menzies Legacy.

My tiger says: grrrr.

RDR would re-enter anything given half a chance!!

I was hardly “anything”!

Who am I?

I came 3rd in a preselection against Marie Luckins.

I set up a failed business called International Careers Pty Ltd in a tax haven.

The peak of my political career was as an adviser for the Bronwyn for PM campaign.

My only experience as a campaign manager before becoming State Director was campaign director and strategist for the losing Monash Province campaign in 2002.

My closest political associate is Santo Santoro.

I lost a state election.

I deliberately sabotaged the Prahran campaign, removing central funding for factional reasons.

I was part of the losing team for the last Federal election.

I gave the IT contract for 104 to a company that Dan Feldman is a director of, without going to tender. Dan Feldman subsequently had to leave his law firm.

I leased part of 104 Exhibition Street – a direct legacy of Robert Menzies – to Tolarno Galleries, who displayed Bill Henson’s child porn in the Liberal Party’s own building.

I corruptly breached the Electoral Act, using the threat of pulling the party polling contract to get two people fired.

I asked staff to blog against the State Leader, then when it came out, I knifed them as publicly as I could to try and rat out of it.

When the blog affair came out, I denied even knowing about the blog – lying to Ted Baillieu, Tony Nutt, David Kemp, the media and the party. In actuality, I had been bragging about the blog I had tacitly authorised for months – including in December to Don Nardella MP, who has since put the facts on the record in parliament. http://www.theage.com.au/national/liberal-chief-under-pressure-over-blog-20080528-2j3u.html

I undertook a secret deal with DPA Document Printing Australia Pty Ltd to re-employ Chandler for the Liberal Party, in a cruel hoax on the Party and the Jewish community.

I left 104 Exhibition Street in a burning wreck, having lost both the State and Federal Campaign managers in a fortnight of the worst media coverage in the Party’s history.

I tarnished the reputation of the Higgins 200 Club by associating it with donations from the aged care industry extracted by Santo Santoro.

Both my first and second wives are better at politics than me.

I have been unemployed for over a year.

My only appointment most days is a long boozy lunch at the Athenaeum Club.

I tell people I am an “accountant/ corporate accountant” despite no longer holding proper professional registrations to do such work.

I was dis-endorsed by Peter Costello, once he realised that the allegations of improper conduct made against me were, in fact, accurate.

I am not, nor will I ever be, very popular amongst the branch members in Higgins.

I am thinking about heading back to Queensland, where Santo might be able to get me a seat.

Hasn’t Julian gotten a job yet?

It’s been over a year since he left 104 in dsigrace.

Who am I, all of Julian Sheezel’s criminal behaviour is on the public record in hansard – you don’t need to repeat it.

Just look it up on the Victorian Parliament website:

http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/hans.html

I was going to nominate but didnt want to loose another ‘Liberal Seat’!

Tudge has been caught out playing both sides. He has told many Krogerites that he is one of them, and that he has the support of key members of the faction including Scott Ryan and Michael O’Bryan from their Melbourne Uni days. But then he has told leading Jeffistas that he is not a conserative and is determined to bring a new Harvard MBA effectiveness to detsroyng the has-beens who currently run the party – he often references Ronno, Smith, H Kroger, Sandra Mercer More, McGauran and Fifield, depending on the audience. He has told these people that Mary Wooldridge, Greg Hunt and Martin Dixon are his key backers.

So what’s the real deal?

My dear Lord Fatty, the dearest of dear Lord Fatties.

I was sitting on my deck chair under the Golden Gate Bridge, with my current servant Sebastian keeping me cool by fanning my face and feeding me peeled grapes, when Jane came over to tell me about the logo farce, and to question whether your Lordship is capable of making a single decision that is either right or popular. Neither one of us could think of one, although I did remark that it takes considerable skill to take a free kick and turn it into an own goal, and that you are a master of that particular skill. But I do think she was being a bit unfair, and I believe teh people of Melbourne, whom I am the true representative of on the international stage, don;t know class when they see it, and misunderstand what a deep and complex soul you are, and that this logo is right for them, because it is imposed on them by way of edict in the form of Lord Fatty’s business contract with a US firm (why was I not consulted about this?), and that withotu such a logo, we would have jungle law in the city of Melbourne (just ask Dr Dean). And then I came up with a brilliant idea. Surely the Lord Mayor himself needs his own logo! Yes indeed, a logo for Melbourne, but also a logo for His Royal Highness the Lord Mayor Excellent of Melbourne, Doyle of Malvern-on-Page-Campbell, AC – and I can see that logo now … a silohette of your head, with a big set of testicles protruding out of your bulbus forehead … yes, makes perfect sense to me, but more importantly, makes perfect sense to Melbourne!

hahahahahah … “and to question whether your Lordship is capable of making a single decision that is either right or popular”

that is right on the money … Doyle is constsnatly making decisions that are both wrong and unpopular

Don’t worry about Sheezel .. lets focus on Tudge. Why should a marginal seat liek Aston be entrusted to someone who has no connection to Aston, has never lived in Aston, wasn’t even a Liberal until his mid 30s, was a staunch opponent of core liberal beliefs up until that point, lies to people in the party about who he supports and who supports him, and goes around telling people that only people who went to Harvard belong in Parliament. A real man of the people.

Why on earth does Tudge put “freedom of choice” and “freedom of association” in inverted commas like that????? As though they are illegitimate concepts. What is this guy doing in the Libs?

It seems that Tudgy is a “member” of the Liberal Party.

He was rejected by his Unity pals so decided to pretend to be a Liberal.

My dear Commissioner McPerton, the dearest of all dear McPertons.

Whilst always pleased to read your witty correspondence, on this occasion I feel that I must protest.

I strongly support your marvelous idea that the Lord Mayor Excellent of Melbourne – ME!!! – should have a logo.

In particular, you suggested the logo should be, “a silohette of your head, with a big set of testicles protruding out of your bulbus (sic) forehead”.

My objection is to your description of my head as “bulbous”. I am mindful that I am rotund, but my head is perfectly proportioned to the rest of my body.

Nevertheless, your profound comments reminded of what Jeffrey once said to me, “Doyle, you know any d!ckhead can win Malvern for the Liberal Party – even you”.

Shame Tudge Shame

Dear The Umpire.

You know what? On September 18 this year Dumby and his cohorts celebrate 10 years of control over Victorians and 10 years of petty infighting within the Liberal Party for ‘control’ of the State Party.

So, if after 10 years in the Victorian State electoral and relevancy wilderness, you are still raising the spectre of Krogerites and Jeffistas it’s no wonder that Dumby is still Premier and will continue to be after 27 November 2010.

The State Libs have 15 months to get their shit together, bury hatchets – and not in each other backs – get some decent policies, and work TOGETHER (sorry if it sounds weird), to get rid of the overtaxing and Toll double-crossing Dumby who – in case you had forgotten – IS your natural enemy. Not some unknown Liberal Party hack who thinks he as a shot at Aston.

Reality check anyone?

Cheers
Matthew 12:25

No one who opposes VSU deserves to be preselected. This is a core value for true believers in the party. Even in the broad church, there still needs to be a belief in something core and freedom of association is about as core a value as you can get. With the new value-free management gurus ruining the party being preselected in safe seats, the Liberal Party may well become as irrelevant a social movement as discarded reality shows like Big Brother.

Giuseppe darling, if you think that the majority in voters in Aston give a toss about the VSU then sweetie, you are seriously deluded.

Luvvey, do you honestly believe that on election day there will be a conga line of Aston voters approaching some bored, roped-in volunteer handing out Liberal how-to-vote cards and fervently asking them ‘I was retrenched 12 months ago and can’t get a job, my house is about to be repossesed, the Labor government has destroyed my super and slashed my family allowances and unemployment benefits, because of Krudds economic policies my kids are going hungry, but, before I vote, my biggest concern is – what is the Aston Liberal candidates view on the VSU?’

Ducky the voters don’t give a tinkers cuss if it’s a ‘core value’ of the Blue bloods.

Sweets, your views are so out of touch with what voters are really interested in, or concerned about, explains unmistakably why, well, you aren’t in government pretty much anywhere are you?

As for your concern about the Libs ‘becoming irrelevant’, I wouldn’t worry because the Libs already are.

Again – check the electoral map.

Love to all

Muah Muah Muah

Perez

who is more of a wanker? tudge, sheezel, or de simone

This Perez fucktard would be the biggest wanker of them all.

Surely this Perez poster is the biggest w@nker of them all.

Perez … we know what you are trying to do! VSU is an important liberal issue. Tudge is against it. He should not be a liberal.

Perez – you denigrate what you do not understand in much the same way as Pauline Hanson did – what is a core value is something that defines a party – it is not necessarily the issue the party puts first in its manifesto for election but it does infuse the whole policy platform. Freedom of association is a core value, VSU is a manifestation of that value just like the rules against “no ticket no start” thuggery on building sites are a manifestation of that vale. Voters care about their security first, personal safety or that of their family and loved ones. If they have real fears about this – whether it be criminal bashings, communist hordes, Osama or fascist government, they will do what they can – fight or flight – to avoid the risk; secondly, they care about their immediate well-being in terms of health and wealth; thirdly they care about the future – education, culture (and the sustainability of that culture into the future), moral values including religion. The first two allow for wonderful fear, uncertainty and doubt campaigns. The future is a long way away – that’s why green politics will always be marginal, albeit important to those that care about it first, mainly the better off and the better educated. If I had to punt, there’d be more Christian evangelists than tree huggers in marginal seats (marginal in the sense of being between the ALP and Liberals, not between the greens and the ALP in inner metro or the populist independents and Nationals in the bush). Party hacks are not suitable for marginal seats – that’s why the parties spend inordinate amounts of energy attracting celebrity candidates (like sportspeople or movie stars) for these seats or go with the parent with 2.2 children, a small business in the local community, some church attendance (but not too much bible bashing) and a host of voluntary positions involving helping children, domestic pets or pensioners. It used to be the Liberal Party that was better at this sort of profiling but it is now very much the role of State Secretaries or Directors in each party to slap down the ambitious hacks for the recently joined photogenic possible. This is the ultimate fusion of political party and reality television.

Firstly Anonski – thanks for the compliment.

Secondly Guiseppe luv, I don’t denigrate, I merely point out that you can be a ‘pure’ as you like but nothing beats being in power and actually doing something. If I had a couple of years I could list all the ‘pure and ideological policies’ that all parties dump when they get into power.

NO TOLLS. NEVER EVER GST. NO NEW URANIUM MINES.

Darling, spare me the lecture. The Libs and Labor are are as bad as one another.

Why is Perez defending Alan Tudge?

De Simone is spot on … VSU is something that allows Liberals to spot each other in a big crowd of wannabes and opportunistic job seekers.

Tudge has been exposed. He should join the other mob. Deal with it.

If Tudge is as good as he thinks he is, then why didn’t he challenge the useless Tedweight, Mary Wooldridge, for Doncaster?

Sheezel is again working at 104.

Anon at 18:14 – because that useless tedweight drafted Tudge into the area and is his biggest supporter

Dear Plywood,

You allegience are exposed – calling the possible future State Premier ‘Tedweight’ shows that you allegience is to the ALP and not the Liberal party because you are so obsessed with internatl party politics that you cannot imagine the concept of the Liberal left working with the Liberal right – to gain power.

Is there no-one in the Libs who realise that at the last election you should have romped home in FTG and you scrapped in – why – because you are so still obsessed with Kennett v Kroger V Ballieu v who cares that you have totally lost the plot.

No-one in Aston cares who gets nomintated. At the next election the local Libs will vote for whoever is put forward. The Laborites won’t and the Swingers will be convinced by any national/State campaign.

Future State Premier? ummmmm, yeah ok

This is a novel campaign indeed. No one cares who the candidate is, so therefore elect Alan Tudge. Brilliant message.

sometimes the preselectors get it right & sometimes they get it wrong, but the new rules in victoria mean more of us ordinary members get a say, not just the cliques surrounding local warlords & factional leaders. disrupting the former power structure wasn’t a bad thing

surely all liberals can agree on one thing. no matter how bad JA or J-rat may be, either would be far superior to Alan Tudge

The locals in Aston have had some kind of tribal meeting. Tudge was on the agenda. Many of the locals said, “WTF is Tudge?”, “Never heard of him!”, “Tudge rhymnes with fudge (snigger, snigger)”, etc.

One of the more erudite locals, familiar with the Party beyond Aston (possibly C Pearce himself), gave a quick rundown on the Tudge entity.

People roared with laughter when they heard he joined the Party in his mid-30s, only after having worked for Brendan Nelson for 18 months.

People also roared with laughter when the learned that he had worked for Brendan Nelson.

The locals then spoke as one: “Tudgy, No way”.

And here endeth the lesson from the book of Tily.

To all those attacking Labor-voter Alan Tudge, my tiger has a message for you:

Grrrrr

McPerton was crap but useless Tedweight Mary is even worse.

Tudgy was my scrutineer and has a Harvard MBA. Please vote for him.

Tudgy has a Harvard MBA like me. He must be brilliant… like me. Please vote for him.

I have an MBA too.

Mary, Joshy and Tudgy represent what is wrong with the Liberal Party. The Party will not win back government at State or Federal levels if it is in the hands of such geese.

Try as much as you like, I am not impressed. George W Bush had a Harvard MBA. Show me a DBA and then we will talk.

RDR, use all that knowledge from that MBA to work out what your chances are of keeping preselection.

Once your brilliant analytical mind tells you that Goose and Jan will stab in the back in a second once the rumoured high quality opponent emerges, then ask yourself, what career would you be best suited to after politics.

I am Dr No More Mercy AM, DBA.

The preselectors in Aston will vote for a Krogerite candidate of my choosing.

A rumoured high quality candidate is usually just that – a rumour

It certianly is not you, RDR.

Your former mate, the crafty chiro, David Davis, has authorised your political execution, and you will get no support from Krogerites.

To bad, so sad, Rat Dog Riva.

Ted is sick and tired of Rat Dog Riva. Ted brought Rat Dog back in to the Shadow Ministerial fold after RDR disgraced himslef in the Byrne texting incident. Then RDR repaid Ted’s loyalty by turning in to Rat Dog Riva, doing numbers for the GTM.

Ted wants a loyal Jeffista on the Eastern Metro ticket. Rivers is salivating at the prospect of screwing over RDR. Jeffistas and Krogerites will unite to rid Eastern Metro of this political cancer.

At least RDR always was, and always will be, a Liberal. But we can’t say the same about Tudge. That is the true issue here.

when will upper house preslections begin? rdr, inga, and andrea are all finished.

Finished? lol

Thats hilarious, considering the ALP plans to loose Ivanhoe, and we all know how big the swing is to loose that seat….

Everyone knows Ferntree Gully is gone for the Libs at the next election. Also, people are getting really anoyed that not a single decent local has put their hand up for Aston yet. So Nick Wakeling has quietly been gettin ghis ten signatures, and will announce his run for Aston on Thurdsay!!!

Whats the connection between Nick Wakeling and Alan Tudge. Alan Tudge has been telling everyone that he is a local because he went to the same school as Nick Wakeling. Are they going to do a merry-go-round swap?

Nick Wakeling for Aston! You heard it here first.

I am the grandchild of TilY Aston. We are all her grandchildren.

Keeno. Rorts. Lies.

Nick is a top bloke and would make for a worthy successor to Chris Pearce.

Wakeling went to some posh school on the peninsula … that makes no sense

Who is Keeno?

I fear the law of teh jungle will creep into the seat of Aston. It must be protected.

Hey Giuseppe .. i like icecream just as much as you do. lets hang out one day.

The Book of Tiley … I like the cut of your jib!

So who are things going in Wannon. I hear it is a contest between Lou Lou and Dan Tehan.

You mean there is more than one Tily?

Sir Bob and Tily have a lot to answer for.

His name is Alan Tudge
The facts and figures he will fudge
With his Harvard MBA
He says he is here to stay
As a student he hated VSU
From Mary Wooldridge he takes his cue
His idol is Mr Hunt
And he wishes Kevin Andrews was defunct
He isn’t local to the seat
But he says he is the man to beat
He often wishes he was in the ALP
Because victory with them is easier to see
He claims to be the choice of Korger
But he often dreams of Jeff in a Toga
He currently chairs the committee for Martin Dixon
Boy o boy the guy is crazier than Andrew Rixon
He wants to secure teh Aston pre-selection
Looking at Josh Frydenberg’s CV gives him an e…..

What has any of this got to do with Bill Tilley?

Who is Alan Tudge?

Dan has no chance Anonski. Its a bnattle between Lou Lou and Knockles. The smart money is on Lou Lou, despite McGuaran’s best efforts out that way.

is it true that there will be no preslection in Higgins?

Despite attempts to destabilise, the Libral upper house pre-selection will be relatively uneventful. Libs have ALP on the back foot and as candidates enter the field, the margins will narrow. Currently, the Libs are likely to pick up 6-7 seats.The remainind 7 will depend on the team, the quality of candidates and the policies. Kemp’s reform work will be exhonorated and he will go down in history as its saviour when Libs win State Election in 2010.

Who is John Galt?

LPUHPS – awesome!

What?????

No preselection for Higgins??? But Cossie, you promised me!!!!

That is a real shame, Wannon Man. Dan would make an excellent MP.

Wow! A lot of people really don’t like this Alan Tudge guy. Why is he so unpopular?

Because Finger the Liberals are sick and tired of people like Tudge coming along with their Harvard degrees (look how hopeless Julie Bishop and Mary Wooldridge are) thinking they can run the world and who have a lack of Liberal values and connection with real voters, and are too opportunistic.

Marco that basically sums it up!!

RDR, you turned Rat against Red Ted after he graciously and undeservedly returned you to the Shadow Ministry.

You dogged Red Ted by trying to do the numbers for the GTM.

You must go. You are what is wrong with Victoria.

Liberal Party Upper House Pre-Selection | July 27, 2009, 18:28, do you mean the Libs will have a net gain of 6-7 seats? Or is your 6-7 seats win a reference to a gross number of additional serats won.

Given that the Libs will lose Bayswater, Ferntree Gully, Kilsyth and Mornington, if you think they are going to have a net gain of 6-7 seats, where are these 10-11 seats coming from?

Rivers, stop slagging me off on this website.

RDR, you could have become a Snr Sargent if you had remained in the Force.

ESD may have never caught up with you and you could have remained in the Force for 30 years and then retired.

Instead, you will lose preselection for Eastern Metro and then be forced to become a security guard or a private investigator.

What’s all this rubbish about RDR? I thought this was about me!!!

Tudge is a dud.

everyone stop slagging off RDR … enough is enough

Boring … whats happening in Sandringham>

Liberal Insider, apologists for gross mediocricy, such as yourself, do the Liberal Party immense damage.

RDR must go. Now!

Enough will be enough when the Liberal Party is rid oif this cancer, Rat Dog Riva.

Murray is whipping Fitzy.

Mediocrity, my dear Anonski.

However, I agree with your sentiments. RDR is a disgrace.

Attending 4 board meetings a year at the Cape York Institute means that I know everything there is to know about Aboriginal Affairs. The Cape York Institute even pays for my business class return airfares – indicative of how highly vauled I am.

Will Dr Kemp have enough foresight to assist in the prcess of getting rid of disgraces such as RDR?

The Party Membership demands that RDR is dumped. It is time the organisational wing and the parliamentary wing demanded the same!

RDR, enjoy your last 16 months in Parliament.

RDR is a cancer that needs to be excised from Eastern Metro.

Tudge is a dudge!

Is a ‘dudge’ a dud?

Yeah, Aboriginal affairs is such a crucial issue to the Aston preslectors and the 18 Aboriginies that live in Aston.

Christien Nixon also has a Harvard MBA. Will Alan Tudge be the next Christine Nixon?

Tudge worked for Boston Consulting, something which is of real use to the people of Vermont.

Keeno. Eats. Pies.

Proscuitto and Wakeling to both announce in the next 24 hours …

Is Tudge on xenical?

is tudge on zenical?

I’ll run and win you’ll all see!
I lost an easy council election and ‘in the bag’ Mount Waverley but ill prove to you all I can still do it!

Gidley … I made mince meat of you my friend.

NO Biff you leave her alone!!

Nick Wakleing is NOT running for Aston. A complete lot of nonsense.

Hey Mr Rixon, who will win the Aston preselection?

Is it true Ken Aldred is running? I hear he has his ten signatures

Mad Ken! He ran for Holt, he ran for Deakin. Aston is between these two electorates.

Of course he will run Aston.

I hear that Tony Snell may be running for Aston.

Doe’s anyone know if you can use the same signatures twice, meaning can I use the signatures I used for Kooyong to run for Higgins??

You have my support, Tony. Your re-write of the Constitution has been superb.

We have 15 candidates for Aston, a seat the Liberal Party will lose at the next federal election, and only one candidate for Higgins, a blue ribbon seat.

Our reforms have worked a treat.

Make that 16 candidates.

Simon T Kroger, aka Kroger the Younger, is the next Member for Aston.

Simon T Kroger once played footy at some oval that was about 10kms from Aston.

He is the ideal candidate.

How dare locals from Aston think that they have the right to determine who represents them in Canberra and the manner in which that representative is chosen.

Damn right, Local Smocal.

That choice is for Mary and Michael Wooldridge alone to make.

Oooooh Honeys, don’t be so mean to Tudgy Fudgy.

Vote 1 Manny C

Who will be the ALP candidate – Peter Lockwood or will Kieran Boland emerge again. Does he still live with his parents?

Snell won’t run for Aston, or any seat for that matter. It’s Kemp’s job he wants. With all the charisma of a piece of cold toast, god help us all.

Who is that has all the charisma of piece of cold toast, Snell or Kemp?

Manny will be on most locals “Any but…” list.

My wife’s friend’s brother went to school with a guy who once went browsing at Knox City, though unfortunately he didn’t buy anything. But he did once buy a hamburger in the drive-thru at Stud Park McDonalds.

Impeccable local credentials for Aston. I even have an MBA.

Surely Anonski you meant “anyone but…” list

Silly question Anonski. Kemp, unlike most retired Cabinet Ministers, cares about things bigger than himself and I think wants the Liberal party to improve. You get the sense he believes in things. Who knows what Snell believes in? He is hopeless at engaging with “normal” branch members, putting many off with his overt brown nosing. I’m getting bored even writing about him. Yawn!

Dr Kemp is a much better President than either Russell or Helen, but that is not saying much.

Time to bring back Carso.

The Liquidator would sort things out.

At least Rat Dog Riva is not the candidate for Aston.

Will RDR’s lapdog and apologist in chief be a candidate for Aston?

I decided not to run for Aston. I couldn’t even find it on a map. Not sure where it is.

I once went to the Caribbean Gardens and Market to get an Iphone unblocked.

Had a great time. Liked the experience so much I thought I’d stand as the local Federal MP.

I also have an MBA.

I have never been to the Caribbean Gardens and Market but my guess is that there are TPA sec52 issues associated with its naming and advertising.

This is soo pathetic. Forces aligned with Snell (which we could count on one hand) trying to poke fun at Sandra as part of jockeying for the next Presidential election. We all know what you are doing. Just let the members decide.

I’ve made an attempt to run for pre-selection for Higgins today. When I was sitting talking to Tony Nutt, I remembered to bring with me a copy of the Victorian Liberal Party Constitution so as I could not be cornered. However as it turned out it wasn’t necessary…..so we will see what becames of it.

Tony Snell?

Vote 1 Peter Lockwood!!!

I once took my dog for a walk around Lysterfield Lake and also once got caught in a traffic jam on Wellington Rd Scoresby whilst on the way to the football at VFL Park.

This makes me the perfect local representative for Aston.

I also have an MBA.

I drove down East Link the weekend that it first opened. I saw a lot of Aston. It is really pretty.

I also have an MBA.

I’ll make a great “local” MP for Aston.

Being a local is sooooooo overated. Just ask the voters in Casey.

Too right! All that matters is a Harvard MBA and a stint with the BCG.

I was once flying to Sydney and I think that the Qantas 737 that I was in flew over Aston!

I am sure that I could see Knox Shopping Centre from 1A.

Dad will make an excellent Member for Aston.

Rixon v O’Dwyer. Who will win?

Has it been confirmed that J-Rat is not running with Aston.

Why all this fuss about being a local. I was never a local. Look where it got me,

None of the outsiders have a chance in Aston. The final round will be between Cr Darren Pearce and Cr Sue McMillan.

My money is on Darren Pearce.

Latest news is that the Member for Casey is very angry at Hunt’s overt proxy war in his hood. With Tudge’s anti-VSU & Wet background, the execution call has gone out to the very large and influential MULC Mafia. The candidate with the strongest local and conservative credentials will now prevail.

A LIBERAL MP has apologised after allegedly calling a Labor opponent a ‘‘f—ing bitch’’ during a late-night parliamentary debate.

Heidi Victoria, the Liberal member for Bayswater, conceded she was ‘‘out of line’’, saying she regretted using ‘‘unparliamentary language’’ towards Labor MP Danielle Green.

Ms Green said she had interjected during a speech by the Liberal MP on the Victoria College of Arts with the comment ‘‘who wrote that for you?’’ at about 10.30pm on Tuesday, to which Ms Victoria responded: ‘You f—ing bitch.’’

‘‘The member for Bayswater has just used words which started with ‘f’ in referring to me,’’ Hansard records Ms Green stating.

‘‘And I ask her to withdraw, because it is very unparliamentary and I take personal offence that any member in this chamber would be so undisciplined as to use words like that.’’

After initially contesting the request to withdraw the comment, the Liberal MP then withdrew and did not deny using the language when contacted by The Age yesterday.

Ms Green, who is parliamentary secretary for emergency services, said she was appalled by Ms Victoria’s comments, saying the community deserved better from parliamentarians.

‘‘We are leaders and with leaders comes responsibility,’’ she said.

Ms Green also called on Opposition Leader Ted Baillieu to discipline Ms Victoria over her outburst.

In 2003, Liberal shadow minister Victor Perton was ordered to apologise to State Parliament for abusing independent MP Russell Savage.

Witnesses to Mr Perton’s outburst alleged he called the MP a ‘‘f—ing disgrace’’ and challenged him to a fight after the independent MP made a jibe at him.

But it seems Ms Victoria had the last word, with Ms Green saying the Liberal MP later interjected: ‘‘I won’t forget.’’

WEALTHY Toorak businessman Andrew Abercrombie is set to take on Peter Costello’s choice for his successor in the Liberal preselection for the seat of Higgins.

Mr Abercrombie, 53, built a highly successful financial services business. He is in the BRW rich list. In May this year, he was estimated to be worth $248 million. He has been involved in fund-raising in Higgins for Mr Costello. But Mr Costello is backing Kelly O’Dwyer, a young investment banker who worked for him when he was treasurer, and she goes into the contest as strong favourite.

Rockin’ Ron Wilson is the next Member for Aston. Forms to be lodged with 104 this morning.

Lots of rejoicing by patriots!

Don’t think Rockin’ Ron is running.

Would be great if true, but somehow I think not.

Higgins will now be a great test of the “reforms” to the Victorian Division’s Constitution of late last year.

If the reforms have genuinely succeeded in ensuring a more open preselection process where talented candidates win on merit as opposed to factional hacks winning merely because of factional endorsement, then Abercrombie should win Higgins easily.

If O’Dwyer wins then Dr Kemp’s reforms have been a failure.

hahaha Rockin Ron, yeah right

anyone would be better than tudge

agree that tudge is not the right for parliament as a liberal

With these reforms, we still got P Baresi. We got a two horse race in Kooyong between the two factional candidaites. and now we have only 2 people running for higgins, and kelly will storm to victory on the back of factional support. a one horse race in caulfield, and the onlly challenger fizty will get crushed like a grape.

the people of aston will play it safe and preslect a local councillor caller Pearce

Abercrombie also has an MBA. I think everyone in the party should have an MBA.

agree about rockin ron

Who has the list of confirmed candidated for Aston

Nick Wakeling
Heidi Victoria
Ken Aldred
Darren Pearce

Oh no wait a minute, they are the people who have all beaten Manny.

I will decide who comes into Scoresby and the circumstances in which they will come.

The man is right.

why does everyone have a grudge against alan tudge?

I’m so glad I ensured Whodat remained in Parliament

So am I. That afternoon in my firm’s boardroom was fun.

Wasn’t fun for me

It wasnt fun for me either

And really not fun for me … im brilliant

I came third to her

Looks like D Day for “Speed Hump” Nick Wakeling.Especially if Sue “McMullet” has her way.

ASTON: If we are going to slam Alan Tudge for being an “unprincipled opportunist” what would you call Cr. Sue McMillan.

Cr Darren Peace seems to be the favourite so far.

A Watcher you are sooo right. This is a woman who’s husband harasses local residents after council question time just because they have the gall to ask her embarrassing questions about her relationship and possible conflict of interests in council. What happens if she gets the nod for Aston? Will Mr McMullet get a job in her electoral office veto-ing every constituent who wants to ask her embarrassing questions? Coz if he does – he’s gonna be a busy boy!!

Tudge is a F*ckin disgrace poor excuse for a mutha F*cka. Lick my b@lls all you Liberal Scum. F*ck you and your MBAs. Like to see you reach the dizzy heights of being a F*ckin Wedding photographer! F*ck you all!

I went to the same school as Nick Wakeling – Hailebury College in Keysborough. Never actually spoke to him though, but we did share a school bus together, and the bus drove through Rowville on the way home.

I am the perfect local member for Aston. I also have an MBA.

I once went to a 40th Birthday party at Nelson’s Restaurant, Burwood Highway.

I liked the food so much I thought I’d become the Member for Aston. I also have an MBA.

RDR has an MBA. He is what is wrong with Victoria.

If Tudge does not support VSU then he is a disgrace like Honeypot.

Tudge must resign from the Liberal Party.

It is great to see Heidi Victoria using the f! word parliament. She is following in the footsteps of giants.

I also once went to a 10th birthday party at Puffing Billy. Mum drove through Wantirna South on our way there.

I am a genuine Aston local. I also have an MBA.

McMillan supports Slum Lords, see the link.

McMillan supports slum lords like Basil De Jong.

I once drunk from a UDL pre-mixed drink at Stylus. It was at a friend’s 21st. I only had a sip though.

I also have an MBA.

Anonski,

I once went to a funeral at City Life, that big church on Cathies Lane. I thought it was a bit weird and didn’t go up for the alter call.

Guess what, I have a MBA too. Can I run?

I know exactly what Aston locals are like – I have been watching ‘Neighbours’ for 20 years. And Ramsay Street is in Aston (so I’m told).

I also have an MBA.

Well I didn’t just drink at Stylus – I was the one who burned down the Swagman before it became Stylus.

That was before I obtained my MBA.

I once got kicked out of Lou Lou’s so I then wnet to Flanagans and had another 5 pints.

I also have an MBA.

I once asked for directions on the corner of Kelletts Rd and Stud Rd (at least I think it was Stud Rd). I fully understand the pressing transport issues facing the Aston area.

Did I mention the MBA?

Whereas I once hooked up with some slapper at the Stamford, at the corder of Wellington and Stud Roads. I did not need to ask her for any directions.

I too have an MBA.

I once built a double garage in Kew using bricks from the Nubrick factory in Scoresby.

I also have an MBA.

What’s an MBA?

Do they sell them at Mountain Gate shops?

I think you can acquire an MBA at Brentford Square.

Barworld at Knox City Shopping Centre sells MBAs, you have to ask as they hide them under the counter

Forget about MBAs, I wont to buy another PhD.

What is this about Lou Lou? Please tell me more,

Dont under estimate Sue McMillan.She comes with fine credentials and experiance based on an insignificant local issue and she has proven to be a wonderful non achiever at Council. A so called “clean skin” just what the Libs. need in Aston.

Has Sue Mc Millan a MBA ?

Sue McMillan – a non achiever at Knox City Council? Wrong!
She has, together with Nick Wakeling, just achieved an estabilishment of another Liquor outlet in Ferntree Gully Shipping Village. The son of the “clean skin” works for that bottle shop!

How can Mc Millan and Wakeling estabish a liquor outlet in Ferntree Gully?

does ferntree gully need more liquor outlets? ther never seems to be a dearth of pissed-up bogans up that way

What no drunks in the Gully? Fair suck of the sauce bottle!!!

Sweet Caroline Oh! Oh! Oh! Times never seemed so good.
Why would you let that cat out of the bag?

Commandment 7. “You shall not commit adultery”.
Leviticus 20:10 “And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.”

The LORD shall punish the adulterers!

I’m still studying and have never held down a real job. If my token chick looses some pounds can I still nominate? How can I buy this MBA thing?

Who said Aston was dull.

Muah Girls.

And that’s just Alan Tudge

“I am not a Liberal. I am not a Liberal. I am not a Liberal.”

“I will reduce the council rates by 30%.”

Field of 11 lines up for Aston… 1 more than wanting Wannon

Who Am I – anyone in the KRA!

It is a shame that Manny is not running. It have been good to see him lose again.

Candidates for Aston:

“Mad” Ken Aldred
Neil Angus
Terry Barnes
Michael Flynn
Michael Kabos
James Matheson
Nick McGowan
Sue McMillan
Darren Pearce
Deanne Ryall
Alan Tudge MBA

Candidates for Higgins:

Andrew Abercrombie
Kelly O’Dwyer

So I presume that Aston is a blue ribbon seat and Higgins is a marginal?

It seems the reforms are a horrible failure.

Dee was awful at the Deakin preselection. She may be a nice lady with good intentions, but she is better suited to local government rather than federal politics.

If she can’t win Deakin in an effective two-horse race against Phil Barresi (ignoring Mad Ken) then what chance would she have in a field of 10 (again, ignoring Mad Ken)?

Don’t be too harsh on Dee. Compare her to ALP Federal Victorian backbenchers such as Darren Cheeseman, Mike Symon and Maria Vamvakinou and she looks very good.

Dee would be a better candidate than future “Cabinent Minister” Kelly O’Dwyer.

That said, she is still one of the weaker candidates in that list of 11.

It seems that Kelly’s greatest talent is pulling the wool over the eyes of otherwise politically astute people.

She is an executive at the NAB. Big deal! At least 700 other people of NAB’s workforce of 24.500 have the same title.

Big f*c#ing deal.

Go Dazza Go…..

I think I’ll take a drive throguh Aston today on Eastlink.

My MBA will be in the boot.

My Party Membership application was stapled to my preselection application form.

There is nothing wrong with being a rank opportunist, nothing at all wrong.

Unlike the ALP, the Libs don’t seem too preoccupied with such trifling issues as Party loyalty.

Hey Perez, Whats the go with McMullet ?

Sweety, where do I begin? She is just sooo tawdry – and that hair!!.

Let’s see now –

Stands for council with a scare campaign of ‘don’t change FTG’s name’. There never was any suggestion that it was going to change it’s name but that didn’t seem to stop her shouting it from the roof-tops.

Commits to a full term in council then, at the first opportunity, seeks yet another preselection. Was she EVER serious about being a councillor?

Is associated with the KRA (just ask her scrutineer and KRA ex Prez Petey B).

Is part of the Local Lib banking mob (just how many libs does it take to run a local bank anyway?)

Publicly supports a grog shop that her son works at.

and this –

http://www.vexnews.com/news/3448/dirt-flies-poor-tenants-make-basil-de-jong-filthy-rich-while-local-councillors-might-find-the-mud-sticks/

also, on a personal note, she has the most awful dress sense. Where is Carson Kressley when you need him?

I do hope that deliciously cute Dazza P gets the nod – he’s such a hunk.

Love to all
Muah.

Thankyou Perez. Luv ya style

Agree with your fashion critique on McMullett Perez, but “cute Dazza P” (known locally as Harry High Pants – have you seem them! – my g.d…higher than the Eureka building!!). Locals know that Tudge is the annointed one – he and Chrissy P both little Pisces swimming in tandem.
Muah

Anon Sweetie please Google the word ‘Irony’ there’s a good luvvey.

McMullet has not only publicly expressed her support for the new Ferntree Gully RGA liquor bottle shop owner, but also involved in traders’ issues in the Gully.

Dear Dona,
The provocicitive inplication of attach to Mc Mullet to enhanes respone has worked,however I do not consider baring your arse to the world on matters that may be “lesser majeste” apropriate.

JTGK darling – please don’t drunk message. Apart from at least 8 spelling and typing mistakes in one sentence I have absolutely no idea just what you were trying to tell us all.

Muah
P

Thanks for the adice Perez.By the way I did MBA over 20 years ago Droped out.That makes me good for Aston I think.

MBA is better than birth certificate!

Naaaa! Life Membership of MUA is better.

So has Tudgey le Fudgey withdrawn as a candidate yet?

The younger Party Members in Aston will not appreciate his views on VSU.

I hear Jeffistas such as Mary Wooldridge and Greg Hunt have been told by Red Ted to pull their heads in relation to their support of Tudgey le Fudgey.

Even Red Ted has some standards – and anti-VSU types that have been in the Party for five minutes don’t have Ted’s support.

Chris Pearce landed himself a six figure job at Telstra even after his digusting behaviour during Mr Rudds sorry speech to aboriginal Australians. What will Mr Tudge end with?
