There is always a renegade or idiot in a political party; he will be dealt with I would think.

In the meantime, good on the Nationals. I have congratulated Mr. Littleproud, and I hope that the Liberals will follow the example.

There is no evidence (polls are not evidence) that voters will support this exhibition of Labor racism; and referenda not supported by both sides will not succeed.

The Coalition in full, not just the junior party, must demonstrate that it is not a Labor clone: we are starting to look like One Party Communist China since the election of a Labor regime. If Dutton doesn't start earning his money and some respect soon, the Liberal Party might as well fold its tent, and disappear into the desert.

A new strain of communism is infecting the West, despite the fact that the original strain resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of human beings, and the impoverishment and enslavement of over a billion more.

The English-speaking world used to be immune to it; not any more.

This reversal apartheid of the Labor hard-Left regime is the most disgusting , anti-democratic and racist assault on Australians ever. The deliberate separation of different sections of the population is the oldest authoritarian lurk in the book.

Why do the Nationals oppose the Indigenous Voice
and do their arguments really stand up to scrutiny?

The following link may help answer that question:

My apologies for the typo. I put in the wrong date.
Here's the link again:

The Liberal section of the Coalition has been listening to the wrong Australian voters - the ones who will never vote for them. They have lost multiple thousands of voters who used to vote for them because they were an alternative to Socialism. They are no longer that alternative.

I watched a Labor stooge last night saying that, to get back in the game, Dutton would have to accept Labor's 43% emission reduction target. What a load of bullshite! How would that get the Coalition elected when Labor is already doing it!

The Liberals in Victoria are still in opposition because they are Labor-lite.

Australian's need a choice. They haven't had one since Malcolm Turnbull. Labor had policies for the last election. The Coalition just said we are not Labor. Pigs arse! Labor has beliefs - no matter how bad we on the right think those beliefs are; Liberals have nothing - or at least nothing that they have the courage to articulate or fight for. They have blown their economic credentials. They won't fight the culture wars; they won't fight for free speech; under Dutton, they won't say boo to the government.

The Coalition will never get back into government if they stay the way they are, just weakly mirroring Labor, not even a centimetre to the right of them these days.

As I said to a friend the other day, 'I'm glad that I'm 80 and not 18'. This country is rooted, and it will only get worse.

If our indigenous folk want and receive a voice in Parliament so do Korean and Vietnam Veterans and let's not forget our veterans who served bravely in Afghanistan and other lesser known conflicts. All deserve a single voice in Parliament. After all that put their life on the line surely they deserve to be singularly heard in our Parliament.

Let's not forget our warriors in blue, the police, surely they deserve a seperate voice in Parliament, as do our Nurses, & Paramedic. In fact there are probably many sections of society deserving of having a separate voice in our Parliament.

But actually don't we already have the apparatus in place now, that ensures all sections of the Australian community can be heard through the medium of our elected representatives? Doesn't always function as it was intended, but in the end it does seem to work?

I'm not sure how you manage to stuff up links all the time Foxy, but at least you try to add them when discussing a topic.

Here's your link:
http://theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/nov/09/why-do-the-nationals-oppose-the-indigenous-voice-and-do-their-arguments-stand-up-to-scrutiny

Here's the correct link, I wonder what you did to stuff it up.

I can see you did not add the www from the correct link that I copied, (shouldn't matter) but you got the date number in the url wrong.
'09' should've been '29'.
It looks like you type out your links by hand instead of just copying them and taking out the 's'?
- Seems like a extremely difficult way of going about adding links.

Follow this foolproof system:

1/ Just left-click on any url or address to firstly highlight it,
2/ Then right-click on the url again to bring up a small menu of options, and then choose 'Copy' from that menu, to copy it to your computers clipboard.
3/ Then once back on the OLO page and making a comment right-click and choose 'Paste' from that menu; and then
4/ - go back and delete the 's' from 'https'.
5/ Then click 'Preview' in OLO before posting your comment; and then
6/ click the link and check it works in your 'previewed' comment before you post.

Then click 'Post comment'

It's foolproof, you can't possibly mess it up if you follow this system.
