A common view of the ageing voter, is the grip on his own future is slipping away from him.

Staying nimble in those circumstances requires tenacity and a solid trust in the traditions of the past; less panic and more simple resignation: Smell the flowers!

“Our existing political elites fundamentally broke trust over the COVID debacle”. And they are already murmuring about the hantavirus. If that gets a hold here, we will back on Covid restrictions before we know it. Australians are definitely not a ‘never-again’ people. Moaning about the budget now, they are responsible for putting the lying S.O.B Albanese Labor back in for another term.

They still have two thirds of that term to get through. The arrogance of the liar in chief in his response to the accusations of lying make it clear that he is not listening. Albanese is a dictator (too much time with Xi) and the rest, including Chalmers, are faithful idiots without minds of their own.

As an ‘old fart’, who saved and led a simple life that is now sneered at by the know-alls who will bear the brunt of Socialism, verging on Communism, long after I'm gone, I am relatively immune. And, sorry folks, I can't find much sympathy for people who ignore and laugh at advice from the past.
