I backed her at 15-1 and threw a bit on. She better not lose. I'll clean up.

But just in case, the MAGAs have a strategy. Well, the same one as last time.

I genuinely feel for immigrants these days. Many are getting used and abused in the work force. Flogged on jobs and treated like shit then cut with no notice. Working with one Indian guy and he reckons his quality of life is sucks here. Half his pay goes to renting in a horrible area in an old smelly unit. The rest goes to petrol, food and bills. He as to work 10hrs driving an Uber on weekend just to have some spare money.

The idea of bringing in immigrants to help with building houses is ridiculous. It's opened a can of worms for abuse

None of this is isolated to just immigrants.

Forget about Project 2025, the Combover Rapist wants Project 1939 whereby he recreates The Third Reich in the USA.

Well that's true. As much as I don't like the unions part of me thinks what we are seeing now is the abuse of workers cause the unions are dead just about in many fields.

 

[Gronk]

It doesn't matter if you are Dutton or JD Vance or Nigel Farage, the conservatives will argue that immigration is bad.

Well that's true. As much as I don't like the unions part of me thinks what we are seeing now is the abuse of workers cause the unions are dead just about in many fields.

All the stats show that workers in heavily unionised industries are much better off than their non-unionised counterparts.

And I think that’s good.

A couple of naughty unions, but there’s a couple of naughty companies.

Even the government reamed the dole folk with the dumb robo debt. They stole from the poorest people in the community and some of these battlers took their own lives.

It's looking like Kamala has all but won the election. It would be an epic f**k up to lose it from here. Surely she can't.

She’s ‘ken lost it.

Shes as much as part of the machine as Trump.

She’s not going to do that much to stop a US in social and political decline. I’m not sure she or Trump can.

And anyone who thinks the democrats are better than the republicans, just needs to take a look at the mess in the Middle East.

Which is not to give those deranged and evil terrorists a hug for their dog attack on the rock concert. Pieces of…

When trump is elected, hopefully he can fix that one too.

Bob Katter hanging with the locals at the Red Beret. Trying to avoid being within eye contact, because sadly I have met him before and he knows who I am and I am off the clock at this point.

I really hope there is a clear majority either way after tomorrow’s election. The thought of those idiots having a voice scares me.

I think his singlet is missing an R.

Back home safely.

Big fan of election day. Will head to Freshwater State School in the morning for a democracy sausage, f**k around for the rest of the day and then watch Antony Green in the evening.

Julia Gillard introduced a Mining Super Profits tax. ASAP The liberal party and Tony Abbott repealed it for his mining and fossil fuel mates. Remember the Toxic Tax ? Yes they struck a deal with miner, Clive Palmer. How f**king stupid do they think we are ? Yeah well check your notes, cos I was whinging.

Mining tax repealed after deal struck with Palmer

The Abbott government has finally delivered on a key election promise and repealed the mining tax after striking a compromise with the Palmer United Party, but at a $6.5 billion hit over four years to the budget bottom line.

www.smh.com.au

The Greens recently got Treasury to re-cost a super profits tax and they estimate that it would yield $118 billion by 2030.

A man of the people! Can't believe he's still going around... he's 79, is he running again in this coming election?

If you don't know, you should go up and ask him- icebreaker

Because there’s still plenty of Wildlife and Flora left to destroy in Queensland!

He won’t die until he kills the last of an endangered species.

Cook up the last of Queensland’s crocodiles on a spit and down a xxx intravenously.
