sorry to hear that .

individual old mate you are a barrel of laughs
but sad too
if we took your line winning elections would be a no brainer just convince every voter to believe they do not have the ability to think for them selves
out standing
or a symptom of your failure to understand much at all

Individual,

"There are two ways to be fooled.
One is to believe what isn't true;
The other is to refuse to accept
what is true."
(Soren Kierkegaard).

Stop letting people who do so little for you
control so much of your mind, feelings and
emotions.

Indy is a victim of the right or reality influenza bug
First symptom is thinking everyone thinks as you do
Second is thinking those who do not, never think at all
As it seems Morrison has no intention of taking on the very right, he too has cut links with reality
Politics is about bringing the middle to you, not driving them away

Sadly , the First Law of Oz is that we copy/paste Washington. So the Rep:Dem divide is the Lib:Lab divide . The chief has red hair and all we have are Hanson and Anning. When Latham divorces Pauline there may be a chance for a red wave . Tasmanian unemployed - stay where you are.

I did a little survey over the past three days at our local. i picked all the lefties I knew & started discussing the present heatwave and, as expected, every single one said "I had my AC on full bore". I then reminded them of our previous debates about climate change & getting rid of coal which they so strongly advocated. When I also said that all AC require oodles of power provided by coal-fired power stations, the looks turned to blank stares.
That's the kind of mentality that wins elections for Labor.
