Hi Paul,
I support the Greens position on Palestine, occasionally they stand up for other useful things, but I'm not a progressive.
I mostly support the ON immigration position, but I won't support Zionists.
I'm not voting for Greater Israel or genocide, end of story.

Wheres that leave me right?
Add in some new candidates on the ballot:
Vote 1: Skippy the Bush Kangaroo?

I think that the people living here first should have a right to decide who (where from) and how many and if they don't then somethings wrong.
And I'm to be screamed at and called racist for it, then they can all go back to where they came from, no offense.

And as the pollies, I'm not sure any of them are really fit to lead.

Hi Fester,
Are you watching those Danger Dan Magoo videos too?
Albo at Mardi Gras 'My bums hurting'. Lol.
The Sultan of Brunei one was pretty funny.

Hi AC,

Yes, I do watch DD but wish that he had no cause to make any videos. I liked Toto commenting, "I'm surrounded by dheads." and also have a chuckle every time I see Dan's bike crash.

There is so much going on. It needs to be called out.

Hi AC,

At the last two elections, council and state, I voted for my mate who ran as an independent enviro/developer, pro Buddhism and smoking the herb candidate, a"broad church" idea. At council he had a policy about rubberised footpaths instead of concrete ones (true), and people swinging from long ropes in trees, (also true). I was sort of not his campaign manager, even had a couple of slogans "More For Moore" and "Corruption Is King" thought that would appeal to the monarchists. Okay at council election, ran a creditable last. Was going great guns at the state gig, even had the LNP preferencing 2nd (true), until someone gave em' the goss, spilt the beans, and told how me mate had worked his way through Uni by making porno movies with his then girlfriend, gee he was one of the best educated candidates running (made a lot of movies). The LNP hurriedly reprinted their HTV's, put the mate last. So much for that.

Hi Fester,
"Yes, I do watch DD but wish that he had no cause to make any videos."
- I don't know about that, I wonder if mocking the leaders of your own democratic nation doesn't serve some healthy purpose.
Its almost refreshing to cut through the rot sometimes, and laugh at the stupidity of it all, even if we're essentially laughing at ourselves.

Hi Fester,

"Intergenerational equity is wealth redistribution as you acknowledged by seeing it as addressing an imbalance in the wealth of young and old"

The imbalance is in the way income is taxed differently due government tax policy, between those who work for wages to obtain income, and those who obtain income through investment. This is manifestly unfair with the acquisition of housing. Those who simply rely on savings from wages to purchase and pay for a house, and those who can take financial advantage by the use of negative gearing and capital gains tax arrangements.

No one is taking wealth off one section of society and redistributing it to another. All it is doing is creating a level playing field for both.

We should have known! Why Angus Taylor is so against changers to negative gearing, capital gains tax and trusts, he's a big beneficiary from all three!

Angus Taylor holds interests in an estimated nine properties, the majority of which are structured through a complex network of private companies and family trusts. Through his primary family company, Gufee Pty Ltd, and family trusts (such as the AJ & L Taylor Family Trust and Maclaughlin River Land Trust), he holds substantial pastoral and agricultural interests. Taylor's property empire spans close to 3,000 hectares of farming and agribusiness land, as well as a residential home in Goulburn and an investment property in Sydney. And we thought he was doing it for the "little people". Yeah sure he is
