Talking about caring for ordinary people?

George Carlin once said:

"I'm pretty sick of church people. You know what they
ought to do with churches? Tax them.
If Holy People are so interested in politics,
government, and public policy, let them pay the price of
admission like everybody else. The Catholic Church alone
could wipe out the national debt if all you did was tax
their real estate."

The argument that the "poor employer" can't sustain the demands of "greedy workers" is not supported by the facts. In general small business does very well in Australia, the failures are the lazy, the unintelligent or the downright stupid, I had several years in the 1980's at running a successful small business with two employees.

The problem Yuyutsu is you assume 'A' and 'B' are negotiating on a level playing field where each exerts the same degree of power over the other, not so in reality. We do have a problem with poverty, and collectively we must deal with that problem.

"no politician ever cared about ordinary people" Yuyutsu, a very cynical statement as you could not possibly know every politician. Not sure how your snakes and goats biblical quote comes into it.

"Wages Should Be Lowered." There's the rub Foxy, the problem for the likes of Howard is he agreed with the sign, but didn't want to be associated with such a sign. The Liberal leadership always have the problem of being against the people, but at the same time needing the peoples support so they can kick em' in the guts! What's that about; "You can fool all of the people, some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time" That's the Coalition for you.

Yuyutsu,
You forget about the Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party who do think about and represent ordinary Australians.

Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party, the untainted Party.

The Shooter and Hooters had their campaign launch today in Buffalo NY, they shot 10 dead. The shooting was a race hate crime.

This is the party that is financed by the American NRA through their Australian chapter the SSAA. Their policy includes arming five year old's. "support measures increasing a person’s right to self-defence." They have no policy in regards to age or competency. This is a party of gun happy misfits that supports uncontrolled gun ownership in Australia, American style. Fortunately at a Federal election they are not even a blip on the radar. Back em' to win Issy, they'll get you a "sheep station" for a dollar if they get up.

Paul,
More asinine allegations, can’t find a reference to back yourself up?
Why don’t you invent one?

The SSAA now has 209,153 members as of March 2022.
They have their own insurance company which caters to members including income support.
See insurance@ssaains.com.au before making any fatuous remarks.

I'm thinking Pauline, or Clive maybe..
Would prefer the independents give the majors a run for their money but they're all part of that Climate 200 thing,
And as much as I think Scomos done a very average job it's nothing compared to the poor effort I expect from Albo and Wong.

I'd rather choose a couple of well-presented cane-toads out in the driveway before I'd vote for Labor candidates.
And they would probably do less harm in the long run too.
