@KeithWheatland @PaulineHansonOz I'm hearing you. A similar thing happened when a Bristish flag was stuck in the ground and declared it a British colony. No consultation with the locals whatsoever.

@KatrinaEmm10688 @MikeCarlton01 Shite. Forgot to mention, Katrina, that Gina would be among the first targeted. Hope you're still in agreement.

[Greg Parker @gpfloor]

@KatrinaEmm10688 @MikeCarlton01 I absolutely agree, Katrina, and I'd start with cutting corporate welfare in the form of fuel tax credits, infrastructure deductions, and exploration and regional grants and hitting them with a resources royalty to the actual owners of the resources - the Australian people.

@MikeCarlton01 So glad you didn't use the obvious expression. I fondly imagine she has the singing voice of a stuck pig.

@KillAuDeepState How's that search for the Worldwide Satanist pedaphile ring, going for you and Trumpy?

Physician, heal thyself. Or better still, get some competent help.

@JEChalmers Not really a tax cut is it, Jim? Does it even fully compensate for bracket creep? Why don't you just index tax brackets? I'm guess because then you can't make about "tax cuts".

Dump neoliberalism and the crumb throwing and fiddling at the margins. Become Labor again.

@DanielKirkham10 @drsoop @MikeCarlton01 Hows does "Iran might of [sic]" equate to a fact? You might be an alien. But I won't let that fact dictate how I respond to stupidity. 😎

[Greg Parker @gpfloor]

@drsoop @MikeCarlton01 But you need to understand, every time he announces the war is over, it ticks up another war he stopped. He is gunning to be the only two-time winner of the honored FIFA Peace Prize in it's long and illustrious history.

@AmeliaBee7 @MikeCarlton01 @ElaineM11584892 I think those penguins on Heard and McDonald Islands, still smarting about being hit with Don's tarrifs, were clapping the lousest.

@lordbuckly I regret to have to admit crime on trams in Melbourne has spiked since they were made free to use. What you report seems to mirror that situation.

Brisbane seems to have it right. All public transport fares are pegged at 50 cents. Which means they still need ticket inspectors.

@PaulineHansonOz You passed a motion? Must've been a big fuckin' lazative, ya pelican.

@Hardy15374249 @pigironman1 @MikeCarlton01 @ElaineM11584892 Fit in with what? A cooker who uses an American cartoon hyena as an avatar? Hardy Har Har, indeed!

@greatbraun88 @pigironman1 @MikeCarlton01 @ElaineM11584892 Before the WWW, limited television channels & radio forced a shared cultural experience. Millions of people watched the same broadcasts or listened to the same album releases. Now internet access and algorithms have broken that monoculture. Poorlean wants it back. Good luck!

[Greg Parker @gpfloor]

@NickRossTech @robynbryant33 Well, we certainly accellerated climate change thanks to the people behind Poorlean. How has that accelleration helped anything if it's too late? You've simply repeated my drug addict example.

[Greg Parker @gpfloor]

@Cazzie1010 @robynbryant33 Only if done on a cussion..

[Greg Parker @gpfloor]

@NickRossTech @robynbryant33 That's similar to saying that a drug addict won't seek help till they hit absolute rock bottom. That may be true in some cases, but for many, "rock bottom" will be too late.

[Greg Parker @gpfloor]

@Cazzie1010 @robynbryant33 If you'd ever had a pash, you'd know!

[Greg Parker @gpfloor]

@PurpleorBlue17 @robynbryant33 Indeed! I'll take me slaps with the dead mackerel as well-earned.

[Greg Parker @gpfloor]

@robynbryant33 I think I let my bogan ancestry slip there. Pashionaltely!🙄

[Greg Parker @gpfloor]

@robynbryant33 Silly you. Learn to interpret. The "English'" they cry for is not "English" - not even Australian English" - it is Bogan English. It is a dialect marked not only by a mythologised etymology, but also by deep pashion for expressing broken epistymology with unbridled pride.
