Hey, you slackers !
In my home-state, a woman has been elected as Premier in her own right for the first time. Like Anastasia Palaszczuk in Queensland, also a non-Anglo. An Anglo woman has yet to be elected as premier of any Australian state in her own right. Multiculturalism ? Wonderful ! Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Saturday, 23 March 2019 10:29:27 PM

Loudmouth- I'm very relieved Labor didn't get in. The Liberal Party still have a lot of work to do before the Federal Election.
Is Mise- The SFF seem to have done well. Good job. Anyone that is committed against the Green Watermelons has got to be good. Good to see their work on the legal framework surrounding gun ownership and self defense- amazing. Posted by Canem Malum, Saturday, 23 March 2019 11:28:53 PM

Alimp result for Labor, swings went from seat to seat and the voters rejected us Paul was closer than me, his greens held their three seats, and threatened to take at least a fourth briefly Labor wom Lismore, an historic event, greens looked to be the best chance Loudmouth has a point,Daughter of refugees smashed us We may have increased our seats but fell badly FFSH took the Nationals to the cleaners, and may do it again in two months Labor NEVER as a party, took a public stand, against the rats in our ranks in NSW, they are long gone, but for some the smell lingers My seat? never going to win, not even in the next election, but we took point nine of one percent back, after 15 percent last time A win? not claiming one in a year National shed voters like dandruff Posted by Belly, Sunday, 24 March 2019 3:23:26 AM

Hi Belly,
Once upon a time I was rather cluey on NSW politics. Still have a couple of contacts on the Labor side I can have a chin wag to over a beer. Now in Queensland and back in the fold so to speak, but keep to myself in retirement these days. Other than a brief visit down there for a week during the campaign, and a couple of good luck text to a few candidates, I didn't have much contact with the old gang. I always apply the adage 'Oppositions don't win elections, Governments lose them!" That's the biggest truism in politics I've ever come across. On this one, the Coalition hadn't committed enough sins to have the voters punish them with the sack. I also think the voters are still punishing Labor over Obeid, a little, I said at the time the ALP has got 12 years for this crime, with a non parole of 8, looks about right. State elections are about the basics, what I call bricks and mortar issues, schools, hospitals, transport, housing etc, things people see and use and pay for. Old Laurie Brereton, Hard Hat Laurie knew that well. Things that went against Labor, besides past crimes. The biggest by a country mile, the cash flow from a booming housing market in Sydney which allowed the Liberals to splash the cash on infrastructure projects. BTW the government will get a big lift from that spending on completion, in 4 years time. Foley hitting the rocks and having Daley step in at short notice, bad. Daley's gaffs this week, embarrassing but not a killer blow. Doing a preference deal with the Shooters and Hooters, alienated many new age young city potential Labor voters, what was Labor thinking. help the Shooters and Hooters get in and then they side with the conservatives, great. Everyone's calling Labors focus on the SFS a mistake, I have to agree, over kill there. I have a bit more to say comrade. Such as the failure of the Shooters and Hooters, surprised no, the success of the Greens, surprised yes. Posted by Paul1405, Sunday, 24 March 2019 4:48:27 AM

Well put and true Paul, I hurt, could put a case for a victory, Lismore was an outstanding result but no victory here
Yes my links still exist, got phone calls last night, from very important people But I tend to be a bit too frank, can play the moderation, game but truth matters See the public needed my mob to scream ABOUT THE FILTHY RATS IN OUR RANKS, GUTLESSNESS WON' We, the party of picket lines, should be outside every court any such filth is seen in screaming for their heads We will regain power in four years But must restart, now, time for a new leader new plan, time for country Labor to shine And time to catch our breath and hope Joyce continues as he started, yet again, in this morning's press, well done NSW Liberals, even better well done our first elected woman your true center TRIUMPHED yesterday Posted by Belly, Sunday, 24 March 2019 5:43:55 AM
