The amazing thing is that the left claim to be the compassionate ones. Nothing could be further from the truth. Look at the way they allow the Indigenous kids to be abused at epidemic proportion. Look at how they cried about the 1200 or so drowned as a result of their policy. They are good at spending Government money and destroying society. As for compassion go and figure.

It seems to me that some posters allow their judgement to be clouded by their dislike of Cory Bernardi as a person. I ask them: when was politics a job for nice people? I've seen many politicians come and go in my time, and there is not one I would like to come any where near me under any circumstances. Politicians are a necessary evil. Those in parties like Liberal, National, Labor and Greens lose any individuality the moment they are elected. They become mouthpieces – 'things' if you like – for the party. For the time being (it remains to be seen how long before Australian Conservative becomes a large party -or not) Bernardi has provided an opportunity for people to vote for policies other than those of the Turnbull-wrecked Coalition. Non-conservatives still have Labor; the extreme Left have the Greens; however, there was nowhere for genuine conservatives to go before Cory Bernardi decided to dump the now small 'l' Coalition because he was fed up with the way the it has been driven by Turnbull and his leftist cohorts. Conservatives have been totally disenfranchised!

Cory Bernardi has the personality of a dead fish – another politician that I wouldn't have anywhere near me. However, he is an instrument that might get me, and many other disenfranchised conservatives, what we want and what we believe in. You cultural Marxists have had it your way for too long. You are responsible for the state Australia is in – self-hating, glorying in difference instead of unity, unwilling to defend your culture, defeatism in the face of bullying elites, blasé about huge debt, apologising for people ripping us off, and downright cowardly. That's the short list.

I cannot do anything about you except to say that you have have something very wrong with you.

A few years back CH 9 exposed a man with two wives living in different
houses with their children and claiming for oth & I think it was
government housing also.
I suspect this would be pretty common.
Re Bernadi, he seems OK to me, read his party's policy and they seem
rather good to me.
It is not a hard right party like the left tries to say.
Certainly on the right of the Liberal party as it is now.
You cannot say it is like the Nazi Party because that was a socialist
party to the left of the communist party.

No, I would give them a go, they might at least cut back on immigration.

Sensible comments, Bazz. I wonder what happened to the polygamist you refer to? Probably still sucking on the public teat for all it's worth, I would think - along with a lot of his mates.

Hi there BAZZ and TTBN...

I agree with everything you've both said on this immigration question that's confronting our country. Concerning the qualities of otherwise of Cory BERNADI I don't know whether we can trust an old Liberal turned feral with all our political hopes and aspirations. I would've thought we need an entirely new Conservative Party altogether; rather than one or two disillusioned former Liberals, trying hard to change their convictions and ideology? Of course I could well be wrong.

I know what you mean, o sung wu, but we sure as hell cannot trust the remaining 'old' Liberals.
