Politics Super Thread - keep it all in here

we will be a mess in 3 years time

Sounds rather salty. That's the way the preferential voting system has worked since day dot. Also, the Liberal party only took 23.7% of the vote, unless you're counting the Nats as well who are a separate party.

And yes, the Liberal party would be more palatable to Labor voters if they were moderate. They would get more Labor voters alone if they had a decent climate policy. A lot of people went ALP and Greens on climate as a single policy issue.

last time I checked it was a formal liberal national coalition

How long before the boat's start arriving, borders are now open

Yesterday.

But it arrived a little late to be the potential election changer it may have been intended to be. That is according to reports dating at least as far back as April 26th from a respected journalist, of a deal with the equally corrupt Sri Lankan government having been concocted for both to intercept a vessel.

NSW State Govt is responsible for pay increases for nurses, doctors, paramedics, teachers, train drivers and other NSW Public Servants. The Commonwealth can assist with funding for Hospitals, specialist services and dare I say it getting vaccines, PPG for States.

Far out, you would believe anything lol….keep that foil, we’ll purchase more.

How about at least attempting to refute matters as I and others do here?

Or if you simply are not knowledgeable on matters such as those before the nation's courts, just ask for further information. It's really not that hard.

I thought 3.9 % unemployed the lowest in 48 years was good, ( and during covid times ) Labor couldn't get within cooooeeeee of that figure, let's see in a few years next election what figure Labor will get it to???

FYI - Am at Cape Solander - Botany Bay National Park with the field glasses. Where is the border security? There is a sea of small boats immediately to the east all heading to Kurnell. Wagons are circled in the Shire, Scumo prayed hard this morning but this could be another Murugappan family disaster. See what happens when you vote Labor.

Sooooooo... will a Pie n sauce go up or down...

Your particular one, maybe not, but the only pies that many can afford, being the budget 6 pack unbranded ones that they buy for themselves or their families, have gone up by 20% recently.

Nearly all Indians that i've met are reasonably fluent and some are totally fluent in Ingrish,
Are you sure that this person was sober and not drunk?

I just read my post from last night and it appeared to be racist. The remark of the misspelt of the word 'english' was having a go at me and not the supervisor.
Apologize to any one offended especially to our Indian friends.

It is a good figure, but includes people who work a single hour and have you factored in the effects of lack of students, backpackers and immigration?

Also, have you compared like for like over the recent periods of both governments with other countries in the OECD to see how they performed relative to other comparable nations? Please get back to us when you have.

With COVID and the boarders being closed there is a massive labour shortage which is a big problem. I employee a lot of staff and its been difficult times for many businesses.

Don't hide when the boat arrivals start, like I mentioned let's see next election labors unemployment %, students, backpackers immigration throw in whatever you want, it won't be 3.9% or lower

Wait for labor to lift taxes

Strange statement a majority of the country didn't show that.... higher first past the post vote then M r bean

Huh? People have to stop mixing the coalition vote with the Liberal party vote. The Liberal party vote was decimated, with young males and particularly women's thoughts, both on Morrison and where he took the party, were at the heart of it.

The National's leader Barnaby even wrote a text message to an allegedly raped coalition worker voicing his disgust at Morrison's actions in backgrounding against both her and partner.

They can only get power when they share it, thus the Joyce became Deputy PM. There is only one major party.

Would be a very quiet discussion between you and Jedi on facts, though if on rhetoric it would be deafening.

Yep people forget it's not one bloke who lost weight, took selfies and said little.

Be careful what you wish for, let's see how the economy goes.

I‘ve been working for over 30 years. Had plenty of different Govt through my career. Whichever Govt is in at the time hasn’t any significant $ difference to my hip pocket to every worry about it.
