Legal Beagle: Fact check: Q+A on mayoral…, in reply to
“The Local Electoral Act simply does not allow it. I suppose it could.” This is a contradiction in terms Graeme.
Nonsense.
"Does not allow" - perfectly normal verb in the active voice describing the situation as it stands.
"Could" - another perfectly normal verb, though in this case in the conditional, describing a situation which does not actually exist, but which could hypothetically be true under certain circumstances.
In other words, no contradiction, in terms or otherwise.

But sorry, Sasha, I don’t give Boag and McCarten a pass just because they’re “political operators”. Being partisan and not talking out of your arse aren’t mutually exclusive states.
And I would've thought that, being "political operators", a large part of their core professional competencies would be actually knowing what they're on about?
