Unfortunately the coalition has a nasty legacy with regards to independents, just research Craig Ingram the indie in victoria and the delightful time he had with the nationals. Sounds a lot like the bully tactics already directed pre and post election toward the indies from the likes of Truss Joyce and Heffernan.
Young Dr Frankenstein created a monster but he needed a brain so he ducked down to the local mortuary and tried to buy a brain for his creation. The dodgy morgue attendent offered him 3 brains. An independent at $30 dollars a Kg A Labor supporters brain at $33 per Kg and a Liberal supporter at $400 per Kg. Dr Frankenstein was shocked why so much for the liberal supporters brain he asks? The morgue attended looks dumbfounded and answers, But Dr Frankeinstein you must realize it was rarely used.
