Individuals bipartisan approach has the perfume of truth but time will tell. In war you have to destroy the enemies fighting capacity - can the sides beat their swords into plows... Latham doesn't need to join ON - they can vote together - so can anyone that leaves. Just as an informed Australian people can vote for the independents that have stood up for us - when others in the media, business, etc have betrayed us. The beautiful evil witch our parents warned about. ;)

pushing it claiming my dislike at least is because she is a past fish and chip shop owner
Fact is she is quite racist, blind to truth,not well schooled in politics,a self seeker, trying to own her party, and a waste of votes

What makes the left so dirty irate is that inconvenient truths are irrefutable.

"pushing it claiming my dislike at least is because she is a past fish and chip shop owner"

This is a common claim in the media - I wasn't studiously avoiding attacking you personally - I apologize if I wasn't especially clear.

"Fact is she is quite racist"

I'm unsure that calling someone racist is useful to understand the underlying reasons behind their beliefs. I've heard better logic...

"blind to truth"

A common political malady.

"not well schooled in politics,a self seeker, trying to own her party, and a waste of votes"

I'll leave these for someone else... Cheers.

Individual - I'm not sure of your view on this - but I liked the movie by Al Gore. I thought he backed up his facts very well. Irrefutable - We're not claiming to have a monopoly on the truth - your superlative was from a licensed poet I presume - but the truth can be inconvenient. It always hurts me when that elastic band comes back :

Belly, Individual did you look at the picture of the old lady?? :) https://www.moillusions.com/wp-content/uploads/photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5639/2020/400/chica_o_vieja.jpg
