In the end voters do get it right, and they are about to do just that, elect the ALP
Oh yes the fear and loathing is aimed at Bill, and unions
See they dare not run on their record
And unions? in the end the LNP is our biggest union, for the rich and super rich
Vote early? got to laugh, tell you are story, pay attention
Bloke in the union movement ALWAYS votes at the last second!
He tells us it is just in case we need his vote at the end of counting

I referred to "....what others believe they deserve as a solid social wage without the same effort." which may be misread by whoever is left on this thread.

I acknowledge the disabled and wish to see more done, as both major parties and especially the Greens have positive policies towards.

I acknowledge the working poor. This is where I started in life. They exist, have existed under all govt's, and we need to acknowledge them, whether they are the self-employed or employed by others. Our social system must support them better, but nobody is responsible for lifting them to equal outcomes but themselves.

Equality of opportunity in Australia is not quite the problem Labor paints. I acknowledge its policies towards improving this, but it has improved under LNP's policies, too.

Contrary to the picture Labor and the unions have painted, the Liberal Party is not the wicked champion of divisive, unfettered capitalism, though there are those at its extreme. It's a broader church than that, and one in which I have taken a pew since losing faith in Labor under the rise of Shorten, the Great Divider and Pied-Piper leading our children towards expensive, ineffective energy policy.

ttbn,

Apology accepted.

Anything from you I take personally. Can't help
it because of your past history with me.
As far as I'm concerned your saying that you meant
no harm is like the spider saying to the fly -
"Ï'll wrap you up neatly."

BTW: I am having an operation and I had to vote
early.

I'm happy to see millions vote pre-poll if they so wish. It gives me something to do during the day. I'll vote on Friday, too bust handing out HTV's on Saturday to vote.

Scott Morrison is in Melbourne and - hey big spender -
he's promising to spend $30 million on a global
netball hub here in Melbourne and that's in addition to
$15 million for a new home for the Matildas also in
Melbourne.

What about more women in Parliament if he's really
concerned about women's issues?

Then there's also our koalas - doomed for extinction.
They need saving.

Just saying.

Foxy,

You obviously see what you want to see. I didn't apologise. I just said that I wasn't casting aspersions but just listing legitimate reasons for early voting and you gave me your reason, which is what I wanted. You certainly do have a lot health problems.

I wonder what Paul's excuse is. It wouldn't be a brain scan.
