Default AMEP have sacked the Victorian arm of the party.

Interesting times ahead. It didn’t take long for a power struggle to erupt.

The videos of Ricky Muir fighting with dung and his tweets were a bad enough first impression of the party already, now this.

Agreed, it is quite a circus that party.
No one has heard from Ricky since September.
I am glad I didn't vote for this joke.

The issue here is they appear to think it is a bit of fun, but the issue is being a senator he has a responsibility to vote on important legislation effecting the future of this country, I am sorry I couldn't trust this guy with this responsibility.

Well I just heard Keith Littler being interviewed on the radio.
disgraceful was the only way I could describe it.
He had no tact and exposed how poorly organised this group is, I wonder how serious they really are taking this important role.

Or tell the AMEP to sod off and stand as an independent.
Which would reveal where the issues in that party really lie.

I am soooo glad I didn't waste my vote on this mob. Unfortunately I've paid my membership to them. Would like a refund actually.

Damn that interview was awefull. It sounds to me that they have not put too much thought past actually winning a seat.

Ricky Muir might want to start speaking on his own behalf because interviews like the one above can't do any good.

This Littler guy sounds like an absolute asshat. I'm sure most people are willing to cut him and the party some slack for not being seasoned political operatives but he was actually antagonistic towards Jon Faine.

What an embarrassment to enthusiasts.

On a side note, the interview following it with Palmer, was just as classic. The radio presenter sounds like a bit of a douchebag.

Keep us posted with updates regarding this political party. We need more humour to lighten things up. It's a shame for them really, because this is not what their members intended to have happen to their party turned circus.
