Well, in my opinion Albanese is appalling, and I don't have to worry about the Taliban. I think we are heading down the toilet; Australia is still a great place, but the people are not much chop compared with those before me, and those I grew up with. I'm glad that I'm 80 and not 18. The business of censorship, added to the Covid terrorisation, the climate stupidity etc, and the low class scum in politics have all combined to piss me off and leave me less and less interested in what happens. I will occasionally say what I think; others can say what they think, but I'm past arguing with anyone.

Good luck with "analys(ing) the mentality of the oppressors". I'll settle for thinking of them as arseholes

One Nation has a free speech conference in Brisbane as we speak.
I know about it because I have a friend in attendance.

You won't get that from the majors.
Even Scomo was happy to see everyone silenced during Covid

Interesting. We are reminded that: we should not "believe for a second the senior Coalition figures opposing Labor’s bill because when they were in government, the Coalition proposed very similar legislation just before the election. The major parties’ hidden agenda is the protection of their two-party system: they’ve watched votes leak to minor parties and independents over the years and they’re desperate to close down their communication efforts. If this bill is passed, you could even be saying goodbye to the Please Explain cartoon series".

This did indeed start with Morrison; Albanese is trying to perfect it, he is the arsehole we are currently dealing with.

Both major parts are rubbish as far as we ordinary people are concerned. They have more in common with each other than they do with us. They are not quite like Xi Jinping yet, but if we let them, they eventually will be.

Both Liberal and Labor are poison. More people need to be looking at the other options. The two party system must go.

The CPAC conference is on again in Sydney, with the same old bores like Tony Abbott telling everyone they should join a party to make a difference. He means the Liberal Party, of course, but the Left has too firm a grip on that party to attract anyone even remotely conservative. The Liberals are driven by polls, not policy, and they will try to out-Left Labor just to get back in. I'll say it again: Australia is a virtual one-Party state.

ttbn,

Who do YOU believe should be running the country? The Lovely Pauline or Loony Latham, seems they've had a falling out. Before the last election you were singing the praises of One Nation, and a couple of other nut job parties, where do you stand now? Silent on that score are we.

To ttbn.

Obvious it is to me, we’re in the midst of a “Secular Inquisition”.

The chief enemy to it are the old cultural moralities, particularly those tied up with religion.
The second most feared are the filthy unwashed poor. There doing a great job of working them over at the moment.
I’d guess we, the traditional cultural moralists, are about half an inch from being burned at the stake!

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition: Our chief weapons are surprise, fear and ruthless efficiency.
