It's highly unlikely that any politician is reading the “stuff” of anyone except that of their ideological mates.

Population? I'm just glad that all the rubbish that is encouraged to come to Australia wants to live in the eastern states, and not where I live.

Dutton has now backed 160K net migration, which is still way too high, but would be the lowest non-COVID-year tally for 20 years. Game on

Promises, promises. I don’t believe a word of it!

TTBN. Perhaps the people who live in those much maligned Easter States are glad that people of your bent do not live amongst them.

Well, the original white Australians were the scum of England. I guess some like you still are.

If I were Emperor, I'd let an educated brown person in and export dumb farks like you, every time.

Dear Ttbn and David (VK3AUU),

Good points - that is one example showing why the Australian states should be independent: the Commonwealth is only a pain and can never represent the wishes of people who live 1000's of kilometres apart.

The smaller the state, the greater the chance that its premier(s) may listen or read their subjects' pleas.

Miles is engaging in desperate politics and blatant pork barrelling as he tries to cling on to power in Queensland. He's about as poplar as ants at a picnic. Miles's emails telling me how his Labor government is helping Queenslanders with cost of living relief is cynical in the extreme. the latest attempt at vote buying is 50c flat rate public transport fares. I happen to believe all public transport should be "free", but that has nothing to do with the fact Miles is trying to buy votes. The winds of change are blowing for Steven Miles and Labor in Queensland and come 26th October, Miles and Labor will be no more.

p/s Feel sorry for my local Labor member, a good woman, works hard for the community, I like her. BUT that's politics. She'll probably retain her seat, if she re-contests, although at the local council elections around here in March it was a shock for Labor. After 72 years of occupation, the LNP took it off them, but there were several other factors at play as well in that result. And some think Paul is a rusted on Labor supporter, no... I have preferenced the other mob over Labor at several elections in the past.
