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.

Nothing against Ricky but I'm certainly glad I didn't waste a vote on this crowd......

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.

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. |

 Im on the record as being a supporter of these people as I am to my bones a Motoring Enthusiast. However, I have become further and further concerned these people are actually going to set us back not advance our cause. Keith Littler works in the media, he should know better, that was just embarrassing. For Keith, the AMEP, anyone who listened and pretty much all of us. And where is Ricky Muir??? Media training boot camp? Rehab? Taken by an evil pack Kangaroos? If the last few years in politics has taught us anything, Parliament is not a place for people who want to avoid the spotlight. Ricky Muir is going to be a part of a group of 8 Senators who hold the balance of power in this country and influence how the whole country is run. I'm sure they are as surprised as we are they got in, but they are there now. The fact is Ricky, Keith and the AMEP CHOSE to represent us in a public forum, asked for our vote, got enough to get in and have since gone to ground. Thats not good enough. my 2c

My analysis is that the Queensland executive are attempting to exert greater control and power over their newly elected Victorian senator. The strategy would be to surround Muir with people from the Queensland branch or 'mates' of the Queensland branch such that Muir becomes a puppet controlled by the party executive or chooses to resign, which would clear the path for the position to be filled by Littler.
