@Loud_Lass No one believes she will be PM. That is not the point. We just need ON to stall the senate cross bench from approving Labor’s legislation. And the LNP’s too.
@Kate3015 Having experiences this in our family recently I have to say that the police were fantastic . Yet this problem gets worse. I think it is mostly drug related. Drug use is through the roof. Anyone guilty of DV should be subject to compulsory addiction treatment.
@OMGTheMess Yes. Real wages grew almost every year of LNP govt. Admittedly not by much each year and we have to go back to Howard/ Costello to show serious rises in real wages. But no one wants to do the hard stuff anymore. Work choices was killed despite increasing wages dramatically.
@GregMarSci We just want to stop ALP and LNP from passing stupid laws. Is that not reason enough to vote for ON? They can’t win govt. But they can stuff up the majors in the Senate. Radical steps are surely needed at this point before the entire populace is forced to be dependent upon govt.
@DrCalumMiller He is an outlier though. We have elected outliers in Australia too, usually senators. Netanyahu needs to remove him but is not politically strong enough to do so unfortunately.
@TheKouk I don’t compare the ALP with Morrison’s govt. Both govts have been relatively poor in my view. I do compare with what we should be and aren’t. I just cannot understand why we allow inflation to eat up our economy for so long nor why we have deficits for the next ten years.
@JaneCaro Respectfully, I can’t understand the passion for abortion. Surely it is sad to lose an unborn baby and I weirdly grieve the loss of potential of each child. Strange how much it affects me as a man.
@DrewHutton45645@VoteLewko This is very sad Drew but agree that there seems little choice. Not much sense in fighting to remain in a party that doesn’t want you. All the best for the future. There is still very much a need for a rational party which is focused on the environment and freedom of speech.
@ryu_tay@cjoye It’s definitely all just ideology. Chalmers laid all this ideology out in various papers he wrote. He hates business except fully unionised ones preferably owned by foreign companies. He wants everyone in a union wage with union controlled super.
@JaneCaro Inalienable right? From whence does that right originate? If 90% are in the first trimester would you agree to save at least those in the third trimester? If it is as rare as you say why not agree? Obviously still need an exception for the health of the mother.
@ElaineM11584892 Yes they surely will. Labor has secured all voting blocs. Except the productive people. And they are a perilously small group. So yes Labor will win convincingly. And the cycle of dependency upon govt will continue and Labor will keep winning. Until the massive recession
@ausstockchick That spin by Chalmers on the March quarter figures must have needed some serious cognitive dissonance even for him. The danger for Chalmers was always that he was so damn good at spin that he would overstep into a parody of himself. He is fast becoming an ideological shell.
@AshPolitik Yes we know Labor will win. We only need ON to stuff them up in the Senate though to try to stop the ongoing Eurofication of our country. It’s like we looked at Europe and emulated all their bad ideas without copying their good points.
@blakandblack Her basic instincts are right. She needs a good second in charge and Barnaby adds value there but they both need a steadier hand on the tiller below them. All we need them to do is to stuff up the majors in the Senate. That would be her strongest and most benign influence.
@FredSpider This absolute rubbish that each pay rise multiplies through the economy is exasperating. It does if it results in an increase in productivity. Which it won’t. Absolute economic la la land. The inflation cycle continues.
@psyclaw $50,000 a year base for full time unskilled employees plus cafe weekend bonuses. Completely impossible. Laugh if you want but it will hit the young the hardest. As this govt always does.
