yes we live in interesting times Foxy and I too am hopeful, that America may not fuel its politics on hate lies and fake name calling.
That my mate individual will one day expand on what he thinks draining the swamp is all about.
Iraq,s mad Sadam once did that, to kill off the way of life of his enemy,s, those who sought good government.
NOVEMBER, forever in this country,s history an historic day,they hanged Ned Kelly in that month, on the very same day 11,11 they removed an elected government.
This time, if sanity gets a run,Trump [in the news for helping his dad avoid taxes in the billions], will be hurt in the midterms

individual,
>That's because the rest of the world is too far behind draining its swamps. At least here in Australia they've started to.

Really? You don't think it has more to do with Trump being a liar who keeps on lying when his lies are exposed?

Belly,
The swamp of Australia is it's public service & its bureaucrats. It needs draining & culling.
The amount of funding that is wasted on a daily basis by self-serving bureaucracy is simply no longer acceptable. It is beyonf me how some bureaucrats can earn hundreds of thousands a year more than the PM.
Can anyone honestly take a look & at this circus & justify $800-900 grand ?
Little Councils of 2000 population have CEO's on $400 grand +. Then they still have to engage consultants. I mean really !

Really? You don't think it has more to do with Trump being a liar who keeps on lying when his lies are exposed?
Aidan,
Exposed by worse liars you mean ?

Brave man!
here at least some think telling the truth about Trump is treason.
In fact if he was to be given the truth serum his body would reject it as a foreign body.
However he was not the first American to travel on the far right side of reality, and he may not be the last.
In a country that made more riches out of war than it does in peace we may well face yet another needless war, one we may not win, as a gift from a man not quite right in the head

Belly,
everyone tells fibs ! it is nothing short of criminal when women bleat sexual abuse 30 years after they claim it happened. And, isn't it uncanny how the accused always have a higher position (excuse the pun) AND aren't short of a quid or two. I'm still waiting for a handicapped pensioner to be accused of indecent assault 30 years after the fact. Now, that would make a headline.
Talking about liars, everyone of our past PMs' promised things but never delivered . All bloody liars eh ?
I recall Hawkie telling us that by 1992 no australian child shall/will live in poverty. Another fib. The place is just packed with liars.
You really need to do something about them old son.
