Next Federal Election

@AW, andy-mac, and Supafreak.

This sort of thing should not come as a surprise to anyone. Since 1949, when the Coalition resumed power under Menzies, they have made a habit of frustrating the development of our energy resources and in more recent times, recovering a fair share of our exported materials and products via taxation for the benefit of our own population.

As far as the LNP are concerned, slinging mud about flight upgrades is the best they can do (don't mention the "own goals"!). Developing a raft of innovative nation building policies is seemingly well beyond their capability.

May you all have a great day!!

A Salty Dog. Hi fella

‘Comes As No Surprise’ to me , my heads still spinning around. Sunny Boys.

Airline fare evasion (which it wasn’t) are just accusations and a diversionary tactic of the LNP’ s ‘flight of fancy ‘.

Nothing else to add your honour, guilty as found. Good stuff ASDog. AW

Edit. Enjoy yours also.

You have nothing to do this weekend, base? You seem to be posting YouTube clips ever 5 mins

Calling out spud as pretty hilarious is interpreted as exploding into hate & anger by SN YouTube monitor , that’s also pretty hilarious, carry on .

YouTube monitor. Lol

I posted some childhood memories.

Yes, it is, supportive folk.

How’s your supporter going ? Not commenting today. Are you a bit lost and lonely that he’s not here to reinforce your views ? Australia’s version of Trump.

Swellnet’s own in house jerk.

You’re always suggesting I should go back to what I know a little about.

I’m suggesting the same. Be careful, you are morphing into the same behaviour as your mate. For some reason I can’t remember what you actually know a little about. AW

any time you want to actually chat,
rather than just publicly vent @Roadkill,
come across to the back-page church,
you and @Jelly might even share a coupla cuppas.

Imagine if you wanted people to care that you exist and are somehow important..
so you say something that affects people, when you walk into a room,
just for the effect.. very strange existence, but prolly surface-satisfies certain types.

hahha,
'Not Even Puerto Ricans'
band names abounding.
see you on the 19th.

I reckon there would be many Labor supporters that would be both relieved and excited if a change in the leadership became a reality , unfortunately I can’t see it happening . https://johnmenadue.com/albaneses-refusal-to-heed-warnings-about-austral... Against a background in which Kamala Harris was successfully jettisoned into the role of US presidential candidate last August for an election in three months, government ministers such as Tony Burke, Clare O’Neil, Jason Clare and Jim Chalmers are forthright communicators whose leadership credentials are increasingly discussed by unhappy Labor supporters. Whether there is any purposeful discussion among the Prime Minister’s parliamentary colleagues around tapping him on the shoulder, is another question.

Albo revival must come from within

Hey Salty Dog, my mrs works in Youth Justice, the 'boot camps' were very well-received in regional communities and actually achieved some results, turned the lives of some very troubled kids around. If you support a Labor government that has basically said 'do whatever the fuck you want kids we ain't gonna do anything' then you deserve your house getting broken into. It was a massive issue for the people throughout regional Qld, people that actually work with these troubled kids think they were a great idea.

Peter Reynolds. Hi.

Well, we have to ask ourselves why we have very troubled youth and if they are as you say , ‘troubled’. What are the circumstances leading to your so called ‘troubled’ kids ?
Some people just can’t seem to understand the entire historical picture.

My ex has worked for 30 years in regional QLD and is calling bullshit regarding your claim. Especially your statement claiming, the camps were well received.
Well received by who ?

Would you care to say what groups of people you are talking about ? no didn’t think so.

Another ‘rose coloured’ glasses perspective on life in regional Australia

We’ve got a long long way to go in this country. What year is it ?

Salty Dog, spot on fella . AW

Hi Alfred,
Happy to answer a few of your questions, geez your teenage schoolgirl level of snarkiness is hard to cop though whereby you ask me question then answer it in the same sentence "would you care to say what groups of people your talking about, no didn't think so", grow up mate.
I could also use this sentence as an analogy as to why you refer to the woman who bore your children as your 'ex' and I refer to mine as 'my wife', no self respecting woman would hang around long with your pompous smugness.
Your ex is calling bullshit on my claim? Well your ex and my wife would have a very robust conversation then, I assume your ex is on the ground in regional Qld? delivering programs to troubled kids? A phrase my wife remembers from these 'boot camps' was getting kids back 'on country', that was the point of the camps, run mainly by aboriginal elders that had grown up as ringers and stockmen, hard men.
But alas, no governing party is perfect and unlike Labor supporters I can criticize my choice of party. The LNP underfunded the camps and the roll-out was a bit chaotic and un-organised at times, they most definitely were not run smoothly but the premise was well-received by the people running them, the case managers that evaluated the kids feedback and well, some kids themselves.
Salty dog throwing statistics at me from "The Guardian" and the QPS is hilarious, two organisations that make fudging numbers to suit their narrative an art form. No credibility there.
What is a 'troubled kid' you ask? I would say a kid that was born into a family without a hope in hell to succeed or be happy in life, mostly belong to extremely dysfunctional family environment's and have suffered abuse from drug and alcohol addicted parents, both white and black.
I look at these issues through 'rose-coloured glasses' ? what the fuck does that mean? That doesn't make any sense.
The point of my post was to push back on the Labor supporting people that are having a sook about our change of government in queensland, my state, my people, and I fucking love em!! All of em.

@Peter Reynolds , your state, your people, your party of choice . Do you go along with your party of choice when it comes to choice of energy source ?

To Alfred Wallace,
I'm sorry for having a go at you about your divorce, that was below the belt and uncalled for, I hope you can accept my apology.

Peter,
There are many more troubled kids that according to you should be coming up roses due to their great upbringing.
And there are plenty that reject their upbringing and kick goals in life despite their shitty childhood.

Your dead right seeds, however your taking my argument out of context, the camps weren't a one size fits all approach, the kids were vetted on a very specific basis. In youth justice you deal with kids with parents that have houses on the water as well.

@sypkan , can you do Australia a favour please ? Write to the Labor Party and let them know where they are going wrong and how to correct it . You had easily the best take on what was happening in the US of A, months ( years ) before the election and you were proven correct . As much as people don’t like spud , he follows trump’s formula of just say anything and say it enough times and people will believe you . I would love for Albo to step to one side and have Jason Clare step in with some policies that actually will be implemented like a fairer deal on Australia’s resources for one . I choose JC over Albo simply because he knows how to handle the press and speaks well , the policies have to come from the party and need to be policies that benefit all Australians, not the leeches that have a few pegs in the ground .

Trump Style Qld Sundown Towns (What to expect)

Feb 2019 tbb's visit to a Proud Boys Qld Sundown Town
Oz Gun Capital Gympie
(Hot Tip) Never visit a Sundown Town in broad daylight

Firstly think our mistake was hanging too long in Op shops comin' into town...
Coz Big Bro openly says Polarizing Stuff...we know to keep distant, cringe & bear it.
Usually simple innocent stuff like Fucked up Road Signs > to flare the locals up!
Anyhow! Just presuming he rubbed up a local the wrong way eitherway...(Not again!)
Small town > Word gets around that some disrespectful Goldie boys visitin' town.
Let's just assume that coz this does happen often & tbb felt the wrath in Jimboomba!
Might wanna steer clear of there...Oopsie! See how easy it is to say the wrong thing!
Only have to look Different...lone tbb's Mohawk shut down Kingaroy back in 1982.
tbb means you walk into a pub / cafe and whole place instantly goes quiet...(Qld!)
Gonna die tonite...for sure! Exactly like that!

Anyhow...Midday we enter the Main Street of Gympie
* We 3 Goldie Bros were clocked curb crawlin' a Touristy photo shoot into town.
* Local blocks Mary Street as we cruise into town
* Approaches the car window & cautions us not to park here nor anywhere near...Huh!
* We Parked there! Then confronted and blocked us from walking further...(Why!)
* [Toilets]> Forbidden from walking thru Memorial Lane unless we were bloodline!
https://content.anzacsquare.qld.gov.au/sites/default/files/memorials/606...
* While we were blocked we were asked if our Blood Line fought for Oz...
* Yes! Honoured / Iron Cross but refuse to share that with these Goons...it's personal!
* Anyhow! We defied these nutters & followed the town signs to the Toilets.
* Got to the loo & The Soap suds container is Jammed & Pad-Locked (FFS!) Really!
* Has them taps ya can't get a sip at & turn off before ya can cup a handful...Yeah them!
* Note to self...be very careful what you say next to anyone in this town.
* So tbb & Bros broke up & were individually tracked across town even while eating.
* tbb dinned at Chinese & copped the minder in next booth. (Like 1982 Police State)
* Get outta here...We were clocked leaving town...for long enough & Twice.
Fuckin' creepy LNP Joh Police State paranoid right wing nut job Armed Sundown Town.

Haha classic read.
Tame as now TBB. Safely plan your next holiday.

I actually found this slogan pretty funny . I would rather he just step aside for Jason Clare but ego won’t allow it .

Please EXPLAIN!!!

I have a foot in two Sth Aus electorates, which have had two absolute units as state MPs. One is Mt Gambier MP Troy Bell (up on embezzlement charges that he is contesting, so can't be kicked out), and one was the electorate of Black MP David Spiers (leader of the opposition in SA, caught blowing it on camera).

Aside from being stoked how awesome pollies are, I've found yesterday's by-election in Black interesting. For 130 years, NO rep of the government of the day, has won a by-election here.. Dunno how that lines up with other states.

The theory is, (because there needs to be a theory given the astonishing stats), that it is a chance for we, the people, to give the government a kick in the pants and a reminder that we are watching, without actually unseating the government we kinda want.

Sth Aus has a Labor government atm.

Leader of the SA LNP opposition, Stephen Marshall had the seat of Dunstan, which was lost to Labor in a by-election 6 months ago. David Spiers' (the new leader of the Libs) seat of Black, just went to Labor in yesterday's by-election.

This is unheard of. What a love letter to Peter Malinauskas, and SA's Labor government. Far out.

SA is same as Victoria these days. Labor will always rule, with some very rare exceptions.

It's not surprising, lefties value govt as a life goal and doing the good-work, attracts pretty bright candles.. cluey righties go into high-paying professions, and are suss on govt. The barnacles they find to be Libs candidates here, fark me.

Love that you post these, there was a moment a few months ago, where a couple managed to be a bit funny, figured the writers had found a groove. They are hysterical in how they dum-splain a particular agenda.. the fact that confirm-bias people like these things, is all the proof I need that kings would pay troubadours to put on propaganda sock-puppet shows in the middle ages to great effect. Go team.. whoever!!

(the most hysterical bit, is the laboured, wordy, exposition-heavy dialogue.. it is like panto, where you over-splain everything happening offstage.. the only conclusion I can make is that the consumers of these things must be unaware of what goes on offstage. Funny as a fit. Literally).

I get the feeling that there may be change ahead in Victoria, despite the sack of spuds that are the current opposition. Everyone gets a go eventually, makes for a better place in the long run if everyone (well most) feels they are being heard.

couldn't agree more @blackers.. remember the days when conservatives would go to a progressive MP with an issue, and feel heard? Or a liberal would raise something with a Liberal, and feel heard? In lieu of that old paradigm, I guess a right/left 4 year see-saw arrangement is the next best thing. just not sure much will be achieved other than people feeling they are heard.
