Foxy,

Dutton never had your vote so losing it worries no one.

It would appear that people are also beginning to sour on Albozo.

Dear Shadow Minister,

I actually liked Dutton as our Defence Minister and
said so quite plainly on this Forum. However, I
certainly did not approve of some of his actions,
particularly his most recent ones.

Plus, his behaviour and the internal fighting within
the Party is a total turn off. I prefer people like
James Paterson and Keith Wolahan - who to me represent
the future of the Party.

You don't know me as much as you think you do.

Hi Foxy,

I'm thinking of giving my preference vote to the LNP at the next Queensland state election in 2024. I believe the Palaszczuk government has been there long enough, and is failing in the key areas of health, housing and youth justice. The LNP alternative David Crisafulli comes across as a moderate who might spark the state, don't know as yet who will be the local LNP candidate. Although I know the State Labor MP well, and she is a asset to the community. As a committed "Communist" ha, ha, I sometimes vote Green/Liberal, did so in NSW after Eddie in 2012 until we moved north in 2018.

Dear Paul,

Sounds fair enough.

I'm not sure whom I'll choose in Victoria.
I dislike the Greens. And not too crazy
about Daniel Andrews recent behaviour.

John Pesutto - leader of the Libs in Victoria has impressed
me with his giving his party members a conscience
vote on the Voice.

Anyway, it's still early days.

Hi Foxy,

Some are so staid in their beliefs, that when confronted by moderate progressives such as yourself, they automatically think you must be a radical "communist", some friend of Lenin no less, what utter nonsense.

BTW, we need parties on the margins like the Greens, and even One Nation, they serve a purpose, they rattle cages, they fire things up, they get debate going, the independents in parliament are great as well, alternate opinion without the party restrictions. I even like The Mad Katter, good value is Bob, can't say the same for Big Clive, a worthless self serving B. I see American politics as insular, no real alternate opinion on offer there. Its all talking heads politics. Give me the Australian style any day or that worthless American rubbish.

Dear Paul,

I'm certainly glad that I live in Australia.

The US is a bit of a concern. I can't believe what
Trump is getting away with. It's insane.

You're right about our political system. We muddle
through and keep on muddling. We do have choices
in this country and for that we should all be grateful.
