The Left doesn't want a Centre party. The Right doesn't want a Centre party.

Can you guess why that is?

Answer: A Centre party wd take power from both of them.

Party fans say there's no Centre.

Centre Left. Centre Right. ?? !!

The rest of the world has done bugger all about the civil war raging in Sudan.

Likewise gangs taking over Haiti, apart from a contingent of African police.

Why is this? Innocent civilians are paying the price for this complacency.

Getting close. But they say they are not a party.

Good compromise but. Holding balance of power & acting as a check on the Duopoly.

LNP hs bn at it for longer, but first Neocons were Hawke & Keating govts.

They kicked off privatisation.

Before privately run day care mess it was privately run aged care mess.

Took a Royal Commission to tell Labor fedgovt what to do abt it.

Action followed departure of some profit seekers as cost of doing it right cut into their profits.

Privatise for Profit is a sickness. Stop doing it.

UK was a republic, briefly, 1649 to 1660, following sentencing & beheading of Charles I, who thought he was greater than parliament.

I want a Centre party, for balanced governance.

Not a popular idea, but I don't care. I honestly believe it's the way to govern.

First nuclear power plants were designed to produce weapons grade nuclear material, in addition to electricity.

I'm not so sure. Days after Australia signs deal to deliver rare earths to USA for processing, re-purchase, Trump makes up with China & gets access to their rare earths.

A few months ago Trump sign deal with Ukraine for their rare earths.

USA will be swimming in the stuff. Something has to give.

Keep your eyes & ears on Turkiye.

More submarines than we can crew too, I fear.

Too many subs & nothing to shoot at.

Drainage is a problem because there's no way to divert or disperse the water. A heavy downpour runs downhill, taking soil & plants with it.

I love doing fix-ups, repairs, renovations.

I've re-designed parts of my rented home, with owner's permission.

That work's on my website.

Decided to straighten garage wall. Foundations undermined by heavy rain, bricks under slab are drifting outwards, allowing wall to slip sideways.

Renewed & braced some foundations, but wall too heavy for me to lift, slide into place.

Will hv to fix drainage too.

Worst sort of friend you could have I think.

Child care in Australia is a mess. Assault & battery commonplace, many centres a paradise for pedophiles.

Every time I hear of another one I'm reminded of Liberal PM John Howard's "I am firmly of the opinion that services are best provided by private industry."

Privatisation for profit is ruinous.

First AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines & now the Ghost Shark, locally made, cheap, remote operation & deadly.

Australian govt has gone mad protecting us from unknown, unseen & imagined enemy.

Meanwhile, lotsa things need money spent on them.

Something to do with privilege, or a sense of entitlement.

One convicted priest said "God made me this way. So I must be perfect."

I don't know, but reports say no foxes & no wild dogs or Dingos near the property.

No strangers' cars seen near the remote property.

I hv no faith in polls. They're generally driven by the commercially owned news media, which is politically biased.

Disgraced former NSW MP sentenced for sexually abusing two young men Former New South Wales Liberal minister and independent Kiama MP, Gareth Ward, is sentenced to five years and nine months in jail for sexually abusing two young men.

Disgraced ex-Liberal MP Gareth Ward sentenced for sexually abusing two young men.

Am I right in thinking 'Liberals' & holier than thou born to rule types are accused of sex offence more often than, say, Progressive Socialist types?

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

Thatโ€™s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before itโ€™s too late.
