Belly- I suspect there are many bags and many cats- cats within bags- bags within cats, bags within bags, cats within cats- maybe the universe is just cats and bags all the way down. In fact I think I see a cat with a collar - Belly.

CC,

Fine sentiments that cannot be argued with. However, conservatives have to learn to fight dirty like the Left. The Left has no moral background, no values. The Left just wrecks and will do anything to win. There is no appealing to them. They don't understand good manners, and will only ever take advantage of those who do. The other problem is that the Australian electorate has been brainwashed by the Left and promised 'stuff' for nothing. I doubt that there is a more ignorant and child-like electorate in the world. The latest proof of this lies in the massive Liberal loss in Victoria. Vote-buying by Labor cannot be classified as a win. The Liberals didn't seem to even try.

I am well aware I as a center right ALP tragic have form, maybe even bias
But excuse me while I ROTFL!
My intention, here and in other threads, has been to put a view forward, get other opinions, on what the LNP must/should will do, you pick the right one
To? bring back its voters,to Sir Robert Menzies like, John Howard like[ slightly more right than Bob]
I find here the answer is said to be not problems within LNP, its the ruddy voters!
HE HE HE!Shop fronts and what is on the shelves bring punters in to the store
Maybe some research? find out what the punters want?
While we wait Mr who is he? [gem that one Trump]Mini Me/ ScoMo might well consider sending the troops to the NSW/VIC border to protect us from these frothing at the mouth lefty loons in VICTORIA stop it!rolling on the floor is not good for your back at my age.

No one has exclusive rights over the definition
of Australian values. So it bugs me when some
people use terms like -
"Traditional British Australian values," as
shorthand for an incredibly narrow set of political
views and a very particular minority model of Australia.
By throwing around the term they're implying
that people who don't share their vision don't
also put this country first and are somehow disloyal.
That is simply not true. It's reminiscent of the minorities
who support One Nation, Cory Bernardi, et al.
And thankfully they belong
on the outer edges of this country's political system.

Dear Belly,

We also need to raise the issue of traffic congestion
in our cities.

Melbourne is ranked 3rd worst after Rome and New York.

I read that as early as the 1950s plans for the
decentralisation of the Melbourne Central area have been
produced by planners in the Public Works Department.

Consecutive State governments continue to squeeze more
and more into the Central area. Permits are granted for
more office, commercial and high rise residential buildings.

Instead of decentralisation of our cities
and the development of our regional
areas, we now see our regional areas slowly dying.
If it wasn't for tourism - our regional towns would vanish.

I have family and friends who work in the Melbourne
Architectural and city planning sectors and they confirm
that the problem is very serious. Changes need to happen.
But who will lead the way? The Liberal Governments
approved so many of the buildings causing problems today
in the Melbourne CBD. (Matthew Guy - was known as
Mr Skyscraper).

Saw that Foxy, stunned me, my job took me to Melbourne and in truth found it more livable than Sydney, more Aussie too.
Foxy started a post about the one you highlight, but as I have now done about ten times deleted it
Some things are best ignored
Build a wall! keep those crazy Victorians in! or maybe other crazys out
