The Australian people no longer trust the two main stream parties- there is an alternative to open borders.

It requires a bit of thought before voting- and some of the backgrounds are a little colourful- at least the lefty media presents them as colourful.

Canem Malum,

Just keep doing what the CCP wants us to do: bringing in millions of Chinese migrants to build up the strength of Chinese communities in Australia who will elect Gladys Liu types to Parliament.

As Xi will tell you: "A change in population is as good as an Hawaiian holiday when Australia is on fire."

Either that or we sit around waiting for the invasion.

CM,

You are right when you say "The Australian people no longer trust the two main stream parties- there is an alternative to open borders". At least, you are right are referring to people capable of thinking for themselves. But, how many people in Australia think at all, these days?

Australians are scaredy cats. They meekly accept compulsory trips to the polling booths, but keep putting the same galahs back in to lord it over them. I believe that the only way to change things is to put blank ballot papers into the box at the door as you pass through. Even the galahs would get the message that we want, and deserve, better. If we don't start think, we will continue to get the proverbial 'governments that we deserve'.

ttbn- With respect I don't think that blank papers influence pollies at all. Maybe you know something that I don't. But voting for Pauline for example would motivate them- the movement of votes to closed border candidates could make the difference between obtaining office or not.

The two major parties are using the fear of splitting the vote to keep it's power base. For example the Democratic Labour Party split from the Labor Party in 1955 and took part of the Labor vote with it. The fear is that if Australian voters started voting for Pauline Hansen for example then most of the votes would be taken from the Liberal Party and so this could effectively reduce their vote and still wouldn't get Hansen's party past the threshold.

The thing is the Australian people need to do something to change the major parties open borders policies.

** The Australian people need to take a risk to protect their future otherwise it is looking pretty bleak. **

One of the biggest problems with the mainstream parties is their funding base is dependent on those that want open borders.

If another funding base were to be found that is supportive of closed borders then this could change. A getup type appeal could work- but getup and paypal are global universalists (usually SJW's are far left). Of course it's always possible to donate directly to the candidates through their bank accounts if they advertise the account details. The banks are still behaving moderately non-partisan so "Sleeping Giant" type attacks are less likely to obtain traction. Good to hear that one of the San Francisco based Sleeping Giant's founder's found himself out of work- possibly because of conflict of interest concerns.

Whilst the funding base pays for propaganda to influence the people- if the people use their own judgement then the funding advantage has less power. In the final analysis the vote is the critical element

I just saw on the news that Mike Pompeo said the US might give Australia the flick because Victoria has signed up to China's Belt and Road Initiative.

Pompeo is saying that it presents a risk to America's international security system and would lead to the exclusion of Australia from its inner circle of trusted allies.

Well Mike, isn't it obvious that is exactly what China wants to see happen.

What you don't seem to understand Mike is that Australians want jobs and growth from China more than they want America's protection against a Chinese invasion and Australia's politicians, bureaucrats and businesses have been selling off the country to China for the past several decades. Just have a look at what Andrew Forrest did a few weeks ago.

So go on Mike, do it! See if we care.

PS: LOUDmouth and the pro-China camp sends you a big Aussie "Ni Hao Mate!"

CM,

We won't know until enough people put in blank papers. We do know that most people are not interested in voting for Pauline Hanson. We do know that One Nation does not have the money to stand candidates in many electorates. We do know that voters are not interested in conservatism, as the AC's humiliating result at the last election showed.

New politicians. New parties. Neither will make a damn of difference. Only new thinking by the electorate can change anything, and that thinking has to include showing the current time-servers that they are not wanted in their current form.

If people don't have the sense, or the courage to show their displeasure by putting in blank ballot papers, perhaps with the message, 'None of these. We deserve better', then they deserve what they have now and what they will continue to have.

I did this for the lower house at the last election, voting in the Senate only. I will be doing the same thing at the next election. I do not deserve the rubbish we have in Canberra.
