Belly there is little wonder that with the list of media you favour that you are going to be totally ill informed.

Mate get off that treadmill of lefty propaganda rags, & try looking a little further. It just may open your eyes.

Dear Belly,

I watched Four Corners last night on the ABC.
It was a feature on Quirindi in NSW and how the
farmers were coping with the drought. It hit home
because I have family members who are farmers in
Quirindi. The emphasis was that we need to have a
federal plan to deal with droughts. There isn't
one at present. That's something that a government
needs to put into action. No matter who gets elected.

I think that the US, just like Australia
has its own territorial problems that need to be
addressed in each electoral campaign. As I stated in
my earlier post - people care about policies that affect
their lives - not so much any more about party loyalties.

Dear Belly,

Just to complicate things a bit further - here's another
link on American politics:

Hasbeen,read this mornings SMH see international polling, people trust Putin and China,s leader more than Trump.
Your use of the term left is a symptom of not quite understanding world politics.
Foxy interesting link, is it slanted? not sure, is it just an opinion? or based on what is in fact truth.
Trump, latest insult to a woman is just another silly thing to add to his very large pile of thought bubbles that drowned on the way out of his mouth

individual my union involved in that wage cut to save jobs.
If we want to truly look at the last five years of low wage growth it in the end only lowers the standard of living, just how far do we want that to go?
Foxy it is true, self interest drives many voters, BUT see one nation, what drives them,
Some voters chase bright shiny things that are not worth it in the end
Again in the end it can be policies we do not want that drives us to vote not ones we want
