Right. What goes around comes around….
Well let’s face it, they follow the way of the conservatives.
Conservatives don’t do policy.
Media don’t do new.

The media gives a free pass to the far right. I’m not sure what % in UK but here in Oz, it’s about 95% including the ABC.

It’s that. Also people are more prone to skimming posts now and misinterpret them.

Yes so do I. He pull me back into line once, nicely.

Nice one Amy. Correct.
What is the point of having a Labor in power if it just adopts Liberal policies- just as Liberals adopt One Nation policies.
I would like us to be an independent, egalitarian social democracy with a commitment to care for the planet.

Yes. I was questioning a One Nation supporter yesterday why he was anti-immigration when his family was from Ukraine. He could not answer it, but upon further questioning he became frustrated & used a derogatory word about our indigenous people.

I wonder whether these guys loathe the emergence of women’s care and rights? They believe they have lost power?

Followed by Coal Australia. I imagine that will be smokes and mirrors.

90% of these police commissioners look the same. The same image and attitudes of the 1950’s RSL.
Can’t they put a human in charge?
Put Don Weatherburn in charge. Make me deputy. I might need some protection though.

Of course, I work with a lot of people my age volunteering for an Independent - Greens & Labor no chance in this electorate. Heaps of people in my generation here support progressive policies. Just the others are so entrenched and hardline.

Great news. It appears the UK judges have not followed US lead.

My generation (b 1952 + 10 or
- 20) are the ones who will suffer the least. They are also highest on the denier scale.
They have all the answers.
“But China…..”.
They don’t read widely therefore they have no perspective.

Aaah. Everything goes to Libs’ selection panel & who becomes the candidate. The panel have all been cut from the same cloth. So all these politicians have same very narrow views.
They have no one moderate and intelligent.

Yep. I was on the hustings handing out pamphlets supporting the Voice. I copped it from people my age (73). I was angry but the result was not surprising. Although mistakes made by Albo again. Rachel Perkins should have run the comms.

Thanks Cathy. I understand coal & gambling but did not know why Leiblers have the influence they have. But you have answered this.

I’m 73 yr old white male. I’ll swear on the bible (I’m an almost atheist). It’s not me your honour. I know I fit the demographic but but but…. I had a flat tyre…. It could not have been me!

Unfortunately, in these times, the rest of the world is barracking for the other side.
