Thanks 👍 for correcting me @Pascoes_barber re it being Joe Hockey not Josh Frydenberg.
If my memory serves me correctly Joe Hockey was infamous for his outstanding comment 'poor people cant afford to drive very far' after mentioning a lift in the price of petrol.
who was the idiot that quoted a loaf of bread at a 3rd of its price in the early 80s
 
On a very tragic note 14 kids in Texas aged between 7-10 and a teacher have been killed by an armed moron.The idiot Republican Attorney General is seriously suggesting that teachers should be also armed.
America the biggest disgrace of a country in the world by a long way.The place is completely retarded and i don't give a rats about the right to bear arms surely the right to live is more important

The King of England might come back though.

It's hard to comprehend how f'ed up America is. I honestly don't want to hear about any more mass shootings in America because they make a conscious decision each day to allow this.

I love how this happens and the stupid right wing conservatives go full retard. Let's give out more guns. That'll help.

It’s a pointless argument. It’s ingrained so deep into their culture they are a lost cause. I’m sure Alex Jones is preparing to go on his show and call it a false flag operation and all the crying parents crisis actors. It’s a deeply sick and disturbed country.

That’s utterly disgraceful and yet, absolutely true (what you’re saying). I know of many Americans deeply disturbed by these actions.
 
Don't sell Clive so short, he achieved quite a lot, his attack on WA and Mark McGowan and Morrison's support of his actions went a long way to delivering a 10-11% swing and 4 seats to Labor in the West.
Yep, now You have mentioned it @PrattenParkMagpie You are 💯 correct .
I feel poor ol deluded Scomo thought he would be on a winner by backing Clive against a Labor State Premier who, as he quickly found out the people of W.A. feel is the best thing since...... 🤔.................King John ✍️ the Magna Carta on June 15th 1215 😍 🤣
 
It could happen again tomorrow, next week or next month.

The American people must prevent the next mass murderings of their innocent citizens.

The American people must put a gun to the head of the ambiguous and the evil Interpretations of the second amendment and shoot it dead once and for all.

Interesting article.
Labour lite - intelligence-lite would be more appropriate. As they say the heir is usually not as smart as the founder of an empire - and that saying a lot because the only thing Howard was good at was bribing people to vote for him. He was the founder of the new handout mentality of Australians - dole bludging for the employed.
Edit: Not that I blame people for taking it - the Liberals in making a 'more efficient' society have exacerbated the gap between rich and poor so much over the last 10 years - and it was bad enough before.
That's enough from me - I purposely avoid this thread so I don't get into arguments with people I may otherwise like.
 
Karen Andrews on an ABC appearance said she had no knowledge of the text messages that were sent out to some voters on election day alerting them to an asylum seeker boat attempting to enter Aust waters. Labor will investigate that text message and whether it broke electoral laws. "I had no knowledge of the texts. I didn't know they were contemplated. The first I found out when it was raised with me" Andrews told ABC news.

The outgoing Minister said she did release a statement on election day because she thought it was important to make. Isn't than an "on water" matter. mmmmm.

G'day @jadtiger the death toll has now risen to 19.
What a seriously sick society they have over there.....still living in Cowboy n Indian movies.
The power the Gun Lobby NRA has over politicians is just frightening and apparently so entrenched I cant ever see it being any different.
Our ex PM John Howard had the guts to stand up in front of a fairly hostile crowd and demand a change here in Australia and I applaud him for that.

I agreed with Howard's stance on guns and glad he did so.
 
It goes way beyond guns and amendments. The US of A is a broken, China & Russia are on the up and up and they can't do a damn thing about it. Crumbling empire like the British.

Societies rot from the inside. They preach equality and justice but can't apply it to their own and seek to and have been exporting their warped sense of justice under the name of "democracy ".

Checks and balances are purely academic. All nations need a mirror and a fence that's why a balanced world is a must with many poles.

Alternatives must exist if only to compare otherwise we won't even know what freedom and justice even looks like and will not have any recourse for salvation if a global leader goes off the rails.
