Peter WalkerGUEST
And the distinction between that is often how much time you spend in the country and things like that.
Peter WalkerGUEST
Um, it has got slightly more convoluted in that there is a new elections bill going through Parliament at the moment, which is going to introduce a cap of £100,000 on, uh, donors who are registered as being able to give money, 'cause basically if you're based overseas entirely, you cannot give any money at all.
Peter WalkerGUEST
Um, and Sir Philip Rycroft, the, uh, former senior civil servant who led the review into whether overseas funding of UK politics is a problem, he thinks that if you're living overseas, um, and you're not paying tax in the UK, then perhaps you don't have the right to influence politics in a sum beyond, you know, £100,000.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, I think the most important thing, and the reason why we've got a bill going through Parliament at the moment, is is that we need to have secure elections that are for the people, and that you can't buy your way into our democracy.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And that's why the Rycroft Review, uh, was set up, and we've already taken action-
Peter WalkerGUEST
And this is where it gets slightly tricky.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Fadli says PAHAS has no problem with increasing their representation, provided the increase is fair and includes other parts of the country.
speaker_1NARRATOR
But he warns the proposal needs a two-thirds majority in Parliament and electoral redelination, raising questions over whether it can be completed before GE16.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Fadli also accused PM Anwar Ibrahim of making a politically convenient promise to Sabah and Sarawak, but said PAS would support the increase if it goes through proper negotiation and is fair to all.
John NgHOST

Gary HardgraveHOST
I look forward to that day, but Richard Marles won't be in Parliament.
Gary HardgraveHOST
He'll be a long time retired.
Gary HardgraveHOST
And I just think that the games that are played and the manipulation of the media, and I won't be manipulated.
Gary HardgraveHOST
And I'm not here to tout for anybody.
Gary HardgraveHOST
I'm just here to tout for you, for Australia.
Gary HardgraveHOST
I just simply am frustrated beyond belief watching people who get the high honour of being elected to Parliament.
Gary HardgraveHOST
And like a dog chasing a car, once they catch the car, they don't know what to do with it.
speaker_3AUDIENCE
I've never heard so much bull in my whole life.
Gary HardgraveHOST
That's not from the Parliament.
Gary HardgraveHOST
That is just simply from a listener.
Gary HardgraveHOST
But look...
Dolly PartonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Nine to five, service and devotion.
Dolly PartonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Enough to drive you crazy if you let it.
Gary HardgraveHOST
I tell you what, you'd hit straight into the Queensland wine based in Bundaberg, wouldn't you? Well, anyway, not to be outdone, federal Labor members have just this week at the commencement of Parliament, yeah, the wiggles came by.
Gary HardgraveHOST
So what else could they do?

Jamie MackayHOST
Matua Shane Jones, the Prince of the Provinces, a man who's got a spring in his step because he's walking to Parliament.
Jamie MackayHOST
Shane, are you walking to Parliament to get there in time to greet the horseback Hikoi?
Shane JonesGUEST
Yes, there is a certain problem of the Matua sporting a winter belly that has to be worn off.
Shane JonesGUEST
But look, I reckon if I'd have come to Parliament...
Shane JonesGUEST
I'd have driven a Mustang rather than ride a couple of nags down from the Hawke's Bay.
Jamie MackayHOST
What sort of reception are they going to get from you? Because by the time this goes to air, we'll probably know.
Jamie MackayHOST
Let's see how good you are at predicting the future.
Jamie MackayHOST
Let's head to the Wairarapa, Shane McManaway.
Jamie MackayHOST
And Shane, you're heading to Parliament this afternoon and Michelle has just told me that the horseback hekoi hasn't arrived yet.
Jamie MackayHOST
Matua Shane put me wrong this morning when he said it was going to arrive sometime this morning.

Tom ElliottHOST
Yeah, but I don't know whether the good people of Ballarat will look at this.
Tom ElliottHOST
Yeah, one thing I was hoping, Anthony, that Jacinta Allen stayed in Parliament and got her judgment from the people of Bendigo, but that won't happen now because she's retiring to her pension that we pay for.
Tom ElliottHOST
Thank you, Anthony.
Tom ElliottHOST
But yeah, look, it's just wrong on so many levels.

Tim WebsterHOST
