I think we might be trying to over value our politicians, the job requires no qualifications at all, heck, Barnyard Joy is a politician and his only qualification for the job is his ability to chase the chicks. A garbage truck driver requires more qualifications than a politician. Having said that, there are some very decent people in politics, I should know, I've met them.

I didn't watch the government’s campaign opening - partly because I'm sick of hot air; partly because it is absurd to do it a week before the election - the duds compelled to vote still won’t have their minds made up.

But, one commentator who did watch it thought that Morrison’s idea of getting into your super to get you into your own home was a good idea - self-help, and no government owing 40% of your house.

The other thing was that Morrison did not mention Albo. In contrast, Albo in response, whined: "Scott Morrison, Scott Morrison, Scott ....... ..".

The main yapping is now over, with neither side mentioning their bipartisanship on mass immigration. An average of 200,000 immigrants annually since 2017. Lower wages. Pressure on inadequate infrastructure. Both sides have decided that the electorate, a majority if which opposes high immigration, will not be listened to.

Just as they philosophically oppose Medicare, the Coalition think universal superannuation is also bad. The idea of dipping into ones supa to help fund a home deposit has its pitfalls, independent economists have panned the idea as lacking real benefit to first home buyers. This has been a last minute "thought bubble" by the frantic Morrison, no modelling, just a desperate pitch to voters.

"Minister for Superannuation Jane Hume has conceded the Coalition's recently announced first home buyer policy would increase house prices"

"Economist Saul Eslake said the Coalition scheme would do nothing to address the root causes of housing affordability."

"My initial reaction was that I wanted to scream that this reckless inflation of house prices must stop," he said.

One Nation is the only party with the courage and common sense to call for a reduction in immigration to "take the pressure off our overburdened health and education systems, reduce road congestion, improve job opportunities and wages for Australians, and improve housing accessibility and affordability".

ttbn, you shock me, I would never pick you as a far right One Nation supporter. All those hundreds of "progressive" thinking posts you've put up, bucketing on anyone whose not like you. I thought last time when you were backing Corny Banana, you were only pulling our leg. Was I wrong?
