Plantagenet,

Our new PM also thinks there's advantages
in being an Anglican. David Hurley the - new
to be - Governor General is also one.

More flexible perhaps?

My point is the hypocracy of the ambitious who convert to Anglicanism (High Church of the Establishment) for political advantage.

Ponder, too right mate.
I used to vote Liberal, in a previous life, but found they have become self serving and self absorbed.
Labour was never an option, their mantra is regressive and self serving as well, and they simply are not the stuff politicians are made of.
The trouble is NONE of them are, and I say that after years of watching the deterioration of the Australian Govt. to a point where they are not an effective govt, with the people's interests in mind, AT ALL! Any more.
No I switched to the minors, the independents.
I would be very happy if we ended up with a 'hung parliament', no more stupid laws, we have enough stupid laws.
There is something very satisfying and accomplished about throwing the cat in among the pigeons.
As the Aussy govt has become a useless self serving lot, I do not see why we should allow them to keep screwing us over while they enjoy some of the biggest kick-backs in history, feathering their own nests, whilst all along making fools of us all.
So I strongly suggest the independents, and I definitely don't mean the Greens.
They can drop dead as well, hopefully they will end up doing that anyway.
Advice to those about to vote Labor for the first time;
DON'T!

Labor is in full buy a vote mode.

Increase the dole possible $50 upwards.

An extra 4,000 refugees on top of the ones already allocated for.

Then come the relatives.

Then for housing.
Labor would offer an $8,500-a-year subsidy over 15 years to investors who build new homes for low-income and middle-income households to rent at an “affordable” rate – 20% below market rent.

Starting modestly, the program aims to produce 20,000 affordable units over three years, building to a much larger target of 250,000 dwellings over ten years.

Like usual Labor come in and we are going to be paying for there voter bribes for a long long time.

This is not to suggest the current clown is any better.

My advice to those about to vote Labor for the first time:

- JUST DON'T DO IT -

the schools and unis have dumbed down enough to vote Labour.
