Dear Belly,

Australian politics has a definite cycle.

Liberals are campaigning.
Policy - increase surplus.
How? - cut spending - hospitals, schools, roads, rail,
infrastructure,
et cetera - the usual.

How to fix the damage caused by increased surplus?
Solution - vote Labor in.
Labor will spend to fix the damage.
Result - re-elect Liberals to increase surplus.

And so the cycle continues.

Well said
Not however eard Foxy this cucle is driven by Liberal right not understanding it is a bigger threat to its self than the LP is
The link was from one of their own, well not now but it speaks for its self
REGUGEES from this subject are noted,not even the supporters they have here can find ways to promote them

Who cares about Labor's victory the important thing is that the Greens got a drubbing.

Dear Belly,

Thanks for the link.

It was very revealing.

Thanks Foxy, my last post unless others post here
Like the LNP rabid supporters here, rather than talk about it have put their heads in the sand.
Watched, irk! the home of toxic masculinity and fake news Sky News, helps remind me how dreadful extremes are.
Idiot welcomed yesterdays addition to the cross benches with *at least we do not have to hear her any more*
50 percent of voters are women, enough said
For the real world, out side the grumpy old mens shed some here live in,very real movement in matters that make or break political party,s need observation,
Thanks to all contributors

By no stretch of the imagination can the Melbourne result be considered an indicator for Australia.
Just look at the demographic. Nothing short of handout-central.
