Power 2 People We The People In Power

'The founder of Power 2 People - Tristan Van Rye...His mission in 2025 is to gain a Queensland seat in the Australian Senate...'

Can't find him listed as a Senate candidate, so that didn't work out well for them...

A Liberal MP has sent me an email apologising for an email I may have received in error.
As I didn't receive the original email, the apology email has been received...in error.

OK, so all Larissa needs to do is to complain.
Nice work if you can get it.

What I find weird is that, for America, you can find stats on whether criminals were left or right wing.

She doesn't seem to be doing much of any of that.

05.10.2025 23:29 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Why? Because she says something?
Courage would imply action.

Weirdly, that used to be the Thing To Do a couple of hundred years ago.
You were looked down upon if you were rich and you worked.
The aim was to earn enough money to generate a good income and then retire.
Ideally, your kids then didn't work.

I've asked a few times over the past month or so why we haven't been hearing from the Greens.
Larissa Waters Insiders interview showed why.
Seriously, she needs media training. She failed to answer questions, wasn't across information, rambled.
I'm not sure why the others are silent, though.

Single-person households, couples with fewer kids want smaller homes Councillors say they recognise that small housing is needed to meet housing demand, but state government support will be needed to build key infrastructure.

Never seen the banks role in this talked about.

Know of people who've been knocked back for a mortgage because they wanted to build a single bedroom house.

Because banks need to know they can resell easily if needed.

Larissa's the one demanding more action.
Don't you expect her to walk the talk?

Well, I smashed the rear window of the car the other day, reversing into a gum tree I planted 30 years ago.
I suppose I must have forgotten it was there.

Dear Greens
Any potential damage to biodiversity from a windfarm is far far outweighed by the potential damage caused by climate change.

I had a lovely encounter with a baby wombat locally. His mother climbed over a log and left him behind. He kept trying to climb over it and falling backwards (in various cute ways) while she coughed encouragingly at him.
Finally she came back for him.

Love all this stuff about the Liberals disagreeing on policy grounds when they don't have any policies yet.... #auspol

He's also playing a dangerous game with the media - they wouldn't have appreciated being called to a press conference by an Opposition backbencher for no real reason.

Hastie hinting that walking away from Net Zero isn't enough and that action on climate change should be wound back.
Then talks of appealing to younger voters.
Good luck with that.

β€˜Yeah, nah’: why the Victorian Liberal party has taken an unusual step in the search for future MPs The state opposition is changing tack in a bid to attract stronger candidates for high stakes seats and avoid an election catastrophe

Headline:
Why the Victorian Liberal party has taken an unusual step in the search for future MPs..'

The unusual strategy...

'...though nominations weren’t due to close...the executive took the unusual step of leaving them open indefinitely...'

That'll do it.

I'm more referring to the paucity of Salt's analysis.

Yeah, as I keep saying, a split in the ALP seems our most likely chance of having a good Opposition.
Hastie is no Menzies. He's not going to be able to create and lead a new party.

Price was touted in the same fashion as Deputy.
The problems of being that from NT were ignored by the media.
In the end, she didn't even put her hand up.
Easy to see yourself as a big fish when you're in a small pond.

The NACC (and Brereton) were Teal-backed - they were willing to take full credit.
The appointees referred to needed to be independent - which means free from government interference.
The government has ignored Segal's recommendations.
Democracy will, and should, deliver outcomes you disagree with.

And yet people still protest about all these things you say the government isn't letting them protest about.
"It's all the government's fault" is a totally new take, however, and I congratulate you for coming up with it.

The only way we're going to get a serious Federal Opposition is if the ALP splits.

If they're on Nauru they are - by definition - not asylum seekers.
They have been found by multiple courts not to meet that definition.
