The Coming Federal Election.

[Rooster1908]

Haha, like a red flag to a bull. He’s going to love that. Howard was definitely the last great Liberal PM. Hawke for the ALP.

Agreed.Think of the rubbish we have been served up since .Rudd. Abbott , Turncoat , Morrison .Gillard and now Ablo . Wouldn't lace up the boots of those two .

Mate hard lefties hate their country, themselves deep down as well and I would guess in a perverse way too, life itself! So the masochistic tendencies should come as no surprise.

This type of post has the hallmarks of Jaxxx hitting the booze and keno machines at Merrylands RSL earlier on this afternoon

The question on my mind is will you be takkng the $1.50 on offer for Dutton to win the election

[King Salvo]

Under the dynamic duo of John Howard and Peter Costello, AUS went from in the red and into the black, which the lefties forget on here.

Under Hawke and Keating, they ruined many an industry, including the car industry, which died a slow death under their tariff reductions with the so-called Dutton car plan and selling off and privatising any and everything they could. Plus, who remembers the pilot strike when Hawke, the so-called Commo/Socialist Unionist , sided with the big end of town and became a Union buster?

Ah yes, the lefties will make excuses and the usual whatabout as they usually do, and daft ones at that, but they know full well they have been bitten by the capitalist bug and have in reality turned their backs on the Commo/Socialist brainwashing ideology they were sub servient to and become Capitalists, and nothing they say will ever change that.

They surely do Count. The previous posts attest to that but I think that Sky has limited reach. How many might watch US politics all night?

You must as you say you know more about this and anything else which of course you don't as we all know from reading your posts - pretty clueless about these matters including any real knowledge of the current conflicts except what you read on those far lefty/conspiracy theorist bollocks sites you frequent and often quote - Do you have subscriptions to these.

Lefty's are all pretty much uneducated and confused as we all know and they are easily brainwashed by lefty/commo/socialist/conspiracy theorist bollocks propaganda and propagandists but one hopes that you will learn a few things now that you are finally being provided with the truth and have a very much capitalist leaning.

So you seem to be indicating that the wealthy that have a go pay tax , employ workers , invest in housing and infustra, and prepare for there's and there kids future should pay a higher rate of tax than those that choose to never work and contribute, raise their kids the same and at the end merrily announce they have finally reached retirement age .They should also be forced just because they can afford it to pay more for government wastes , high immigration and stuffed up projects by both parties .That's the mess .Youth crime , that's the mess . Corruption, that's the mess . The hospitals , the schools , the roads. That mess Hit up the large international companies and Australian companies that don't pay there share but stop bleeding the hard working business people

You do know the Libs were in power from 2013 to 2022. Did you think they addressed all the issues that you have mentioned? Did Scomo hand over a great Australia and Albo ruined it all? Were the hospitals, roads and schools funding more or better spent under them? Check before you answer. What about immigration? The Libs backers love immigration because it means lower wages but will play the tune of it increasing housing affordability for votes. What did any Liberal government do to address housing affordability-or any of those issues you mention? Corruption? You mean like Gladys B?

If you want to cheer on the rich ( and i dont know you so you may be in that category!!) they will gladly take any potential windfall a government hands them.....and use it to have a birthday party for their 5th yacht.

We have a rearguard action from the Left on our own dear Chookpen site it appears. Untie!

There were tears of pure salt after the Don won in a hand canter. What will they do if Pistol Pete siezes the day?? He would have to make history as no incumbent Govt has lost here since 1931. But yes I know, this one is super Baaaaad!

In a related note I see we have 3 "detests" for Mr Dutton. Is it bald, or personality or just playing the leftie songsheet? He at least has qualities of strength, conviction and decisiveness. And God knows, ladies, that is what we desperately need here right now.

Its like this Jack- whoever wins the coming election we do what Australians do and accept it and hope they do the best for all Australians. If the majority of Australians believe that Albo & Co didn't do a great job and Dutton is the answer then of course we go with it. You have 4 years to please the people and if they aren't happy you will find out on election night

As for Trump, he won the election fair and square and he won the popular vote too. Seems to me that a lot of the promises he has made he is keeping, so any American who wants to complain about the way he is leading then bad luck for them. As for so many who voted for him because he said he would bring down the price of groceries and inflation, well bad luck for them too because he isn't the first or last politician who will lie to get your vote

I think your question should be what did any government do to address housing affordability. What has Ablo done for roads or hospitals .What did Anna do for Queensland hospitals , remember ramping .What has Albo some for immigration.Raised it .As I have said they are all the same .In it for themselves.

That being the case why is it you stated to Jaxxx that you hope Dutton wins ? Your posts here show you to be clearly pro the right but then you say they are both as bad as each other Nothing wrong with that and I agree they pretty much are one bird with two different wings and only slightly nuanced or apart in policy.

Now in regards to your response to me about taxing that 3 million threshold even higher There will be very few if any have a go families who manage to accumulate such wealth through superannuation. The ones who do have and it will impact are the rich wealthy elite and those born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

Oh silly Sally!!! You and most conveniently forget or are unaware 40 billion of that debt was carried over from the Frazer govt

So in reality it was a 56 million debt they turned around by selling off most of our major assets It was Howard Govt who sold off most of our major assets The ones that instantly spring to mind are Telstra Commonwealth Bank and Sydney Airport

I think both governments had similar trajectories actually. Both started very well, made some changes which got the country back on track after massive debts carried over from the previous governments. By the end though we were pretty much sick of both and wanted another change. Keating had taken over from Hawke due to their ‘deal’ and things had gone downhill due to the recession we had to have. Howard started to lose the plot and he lost one of the safest Liberal seats ever.

Hawke was the first PM I voted for as a fresh 18 year old now able to vote. I remember it clearly. I also remember voting for Howard in 1996 when I thought we needed change. I was also one of those voters glad to get rid of him 10 years later. Politics has changed so much over the past 20 years. At least we seem to have put an end to the PMs backstabbing each other mid term fiascos. I don’t know maybe I’m just older and more cynical and this has clouded my view. Anyway I won’t be hoping or voting for a Dutton win. We don’t need to go back to the Abbott days.

It’s funny how the righties don’t seem to realise they get all salty when the lefties win too. I admit to disliking Trump. I still can’t stand him. So what? It’s my view. Plenty of people are happy to say how much they dislike Albo, Andrews, Gillard , Obama etc. It’s politics. It’s democracy. You vote, you win or you lose and you move on with life. Mostly as a family or individual you only experience subtle changes with a change of government. Unless you’re a public servant under Howard or Abbott, or a stay at home mum under Howard, or Uni student under the ALP etc.

Hahaha yeah clearly.That would be because I have to vote for one or the other otherwise bits a donkey .In my humble opinion Dutton is better that Albo, not by much but better .And not everyone who has money has a silver spoon mate .Most are self made and those with a silver spoon aren't worried about super
