Here's Katharine Murphy's take on the recent politics
Australia News:

"Labor has a tendency to treat campaigns like a
conversation rather than a pitched battle, where, at the
end, there's one winner and one loser."

"Morrison never treats an election campaign like a
conversation. For him, elections are about nailing your
message, day in and day out - not treating the media
or the voters like they are grown ups."

"Albanese has an appearance problem with failing to recall
pertinent stats. Appearances do matter."

Then there's also the problem for Morrison of Alan Tudge.
Who's apparently both on and off the Front bench.

I've long believed that Australia has been run since the 1990s by the TNCs, the USA military, and whatever Washington DC administration is in power. Australian pollies are just puppets who do as they're told by their CIA minders for fear of video footage of them bu*g*ing boys and assorted animals during their most indiscreet USA-funded "holidays" being released to the media.

After all, during office hours they get up to jerking off on each others desks and the like; and if you can remember reports of what goes on in the Fed Parlt "prayer room" between sessions you'l know that's just the tip of a VERY odious iceberg. So what they do OUT OF office hours is probably only available on the most expensive porn channels. AND Australians PAY them for all of this!

So I don't believe a single word ANY of them say, and voting for me is just a matter of avoiding the fine for not doing so.

Makes life MUCH simpler and laid back.

It appears that for some conspiracy theories do abound
even when it comes to our politicians, elections, and
system of government.

We've heard so many of them. The Apollo moon landings
were faked, 9-11 was an inside job, climate change is
a hoax, JFK was assassinated by the CIA, the earth is
flat, the pharmaceutical industry is supressing a cure
for cancer, vaccines cause autism, Princess Diana was
murdered by the royal family, Barack Obama was born in
Kenya and is secretly a Muslim, the world is ruled by
Jewish bankers. And so on.

It is easy to dismiss conspiracy theories as unhinged
beliefs by a small number of paranoid idiots, but that
seriously underestimates them. Belief in these theories
can become extremely influential and dangerous especially
if they grow.

Look at the damage that former US President has done to
the US. And here in Australia we have Pauline Hanson and
her ilk.

The conspiratorial mindset today is a liability when it comes
to dealing with important issues. It is a major obstacle to
reasoned debate and evidence-based action.

Hi Foxy,

All those theories are bunk, except one, the earth is FLAT! All the rest are crazy ideas, except the Moon landings were faked, and if you take a close lot at Obama, he looks Kenyan to me, haven't you noticed his left eye . Then there is Lady Di, that's gotta be true, and you can add in JFK and the CIA that's a given. We all know 9-11 was an inside job, how else did the planes get inside the buildings. As for climate change its a well known fact its all a commie plot! You know you can't trust Big Pharma. Jews, well we all know about THEM! Muslims don't even mention the word, they spend all day getting up to no good, planting pork chops in synagogues and other evils!

Hi Paul,

Seriously, we're really one of the best countries
in the world to live in. That's why so many want to
come here. There's so much on offer here. We should
be grateful. And we now have the opportunity to
vote in the government we think will serve us best.
Can't complain.

Foxy,
Most of the good we're lucky enough to experience is generally due to luck & the legacy of European migrants !
