runner,

Are you of British ancestry?

the most selfish voters hide behind health and education where more money is wasted.

runner,
That's why I have long been in favour of public servants being exempt from voting.
Unless of course, they've done their time in National Service.
I'll never forget when listening through the window of an indigenous school when the snow white teacher said to his class "tell your parents they must vote Labor".

'runner,

Are you of British ancestry?

The surest part of my ancestry Foxy is the same as you. We go back to Adam hence our adamic nature. My recent ancestry is the second or last Adam. I suspect somewhere along the line I had relatives in Scotland however I have never really gone into to much. Seems like a lot of the corrupt union movement who Shorten was/is so tied to were very corrupt poms.

runner,

A hint of racism there from Foxy, quizzing you on your background.

So, anyone out there with ideas as to what the contenders for the next election should be focussing on ? I mean real issues not pointless back-forth insults !
What do OLOer's expect from the candidates they'll give their support to ?

Individual,

I expect the worst from our politicians; they are just not up to the job, but what I would like to see is:

The cessation of all immigration except for that which Australia needs.
No more multiculturalism. Do as we do, or leave.
A return to nationalism. Without it, you don't have a society. You either have a nation state or you don't.
All working age people to actually work, including people on welfare. Traditional mothers exempt until children start school.
An end to compulsory voting, and an end to preferential voting, which just benefits two parties.
Dumping of the Paris Agreement, which is costing us a lot of money and has nothing to do with anything except transferring wealth to failed states
Leaving the United Nations, which is a threat to our sovereignty.
Getting back to cheap, coal powered energy and recovering our competitiveness.
Transferring many functions (too many to list) from Canberra to the states. Decentralisation.
Meritocracy in all employment, public and private. No feminist sexism.
History taught using facts, not emotionalism and judgements of past eras.
Universities privatised and responsible for their own funding through fees and research.
Free education only to matriculation level.

I could go on, but I know nothing will change while we have the same sorts of dead heads we have always had lining up to get into politics
