Liberal patriots tell their favoured news source for internal intrigue – VEXNEWS – that there is a rising tide of speculation that controversial Baillieu faction honcho in Victoria’s upper house Bruce Atkinson could be facing removal.
Atkinson has previously passionately opined in favour of the interests of the sex industry, has frequented erotic bath-houses as part of a unilateral and solo fact-finding mission and has also penned erotic poetry in his spare time.
One well-informed insider revealed “Bruce’s goose is cooked, there’s going to be a challenge against him and there’ll be widespread support for generational change in his case.”
Liberal preselections in the Victorian Legislative Council are soon to occur.
Any one challenger in Atkinson’s eastern metropolitan province could give rise to an open slather contest, potentially imperilling the Kroger linked Jan Kronberg who has only on her first term in the red morgue and is yet to make her mark.
Interestingly, a nervous looking Bruce Atkinson and her factional bud – and Rock of Gibraltar – Inga Peulich were supping together in the Strangers’ Corridor at state Parliament House. Accompanying them was long-time Baillieu faction head-kicker and Melbourne councillor Peter Clarke. Atkinson will be putting up a big fight to stay on and would be expected to have strong support from his party Leader and faction-master Ted Baillieu, known by foes as ‘Cottees‘ for being both rich and thick.
What a load of crap. Rat Dog Riva is going down, not me.
Name names!
At least Goose is a loyal Liberal Party member, unlike Tudgey le Fudgey.
This is clearly the work of Jan Kronberg looking to get off the 3rd rung.
Maybe Tudgey le Fudgey is the mystery candidate?
Afterall, he will lose Aston very badly.
I had some yummy food with Goose.
Pretty sure Bruce is non alligned.
Goose I only go down on teenage girls.
Mmmmmm Goose. Preferably grain fed and basted in a white wine reduction whilst being roasted to perfection
not to mention the pate’ both perfect question time snacks
another chance for margaret fitzherbert?
the thrid spot in eastern metro is under threat from the rising Green vote. Go Damian Magner!
good to see we’re going to get more of jan kronberg. Her views on migrants will go down a treat in the educated east. She’s what renewal for the libs is all about, a bit like old kenny ” have hearing aid” smith. Keep the old timers coming!
I can’t believe this story has actually made its way online. I was told recently that Alan Tudge was sick of people talking about him and that he was concerned of more articles that he had written finding their way in the public domain in the last weeks of his campaign, and so he devised a strategy to pretend that the Eastern Metro MPs were in the firing line, and in the process shifting attention onto the Eastern Metro contest, making people distracted. So transperent really.
Typical of Tudgey le Fudgey. You can’t trust the French.
I like penis, not penny.
Bruce, do not txt me under and circumstances.
RDR
RDR should be dumped long before toupee Atkinson.
Southern Metro is also up for grabs – Andrea Coote’s resignation last year as deputy leader of the Libs in the Upper House means she is political dead meat. Even if the libs win the State Election she will not get a ministry.
Word is that the David Davis group will mount a challenge. Even a Krogerite might have a go as she has no future.
I agree that Andrea is a goner – she won’t have a meaningful role in the Parliamentary Party no matter who wins the next election. And by the following election (2014) she will be 62 – not that old perhaps but win or lose that election she has no real future. She should resign and make way for someone with ministerial potential.
David Davis is a good perfomer against the ALP Govt. He should get another gig.
Andrea Coote showed great disloyalty and stupidity by resigning her shadow ministerial positions last year – where does she hope to go? There’s little doubt she’ll be dumped.
Please, please, please what ever you do keep Jan Kronburg were she is. She is doing a wonderful job for us out there
Seems that Tudgey le Fudgey is circulating this anti-Goose story to deflect attention away from his own dismal attempts to gain preselection in Aston.
Oh honeys…
Loopy Jan, Brucie and Dickie… losers all.
Why do the conservatives get three elected out there?
Why?
Have to agree with Tash.
The weirdo ranting of Jan Kroneburg is very embarrassing.
Demanding the local council remove a rubbish bin from outside of her electorate office – because it was a good hiding place for a terrorist bomb was just silly.
But warning of a worldwide Obama ‘conspiracy’, and accusing supporters of voluntary euthanasia of wanting to eat old people (Soylent Green – Charlton Heston style) is pretty sick.
East Metro needs a clean out.
Yeah!
And when she screeched on the steps of State Parliament about praying and the “Victorian Killing Fields” when abortion was decriminalised – what a fruit loop!!!
She has competition out here with weird Brucey and Dirty Dick – but WTF???
