He might be a mad leftie, but he might also be a muslim or a aborigine or a .....<insert 100 other groups that he offends>.

True

The only think we can be sure of, is that if it was Albo targetted, it'd be some f**kin RWNJ afyer him

 

[RustedonEel]

Just for you @Gronk

48th Parliament

Part 2

 

[RustedonEel]

Waiting for the pfft they all do it comeback.

Not a comeback but some different opinions. I agree the optics are'nt good to the normal man in the street.

Has Trumpy been a naughty, naughty boy

He was 15 when the offence occurred mate.

Did I deny it somewhere? Surely my posts would have given you some clue. You're either one or the other otherwise you have no balls and should'nt even be involved in the conversation.

The ones that are neither are typically the smartest. Both parties are far from perfect on every issue and only a stubborn, biased idiot with massive ‘balls’ would try and defend their team at all costs.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Bravo. Excellent policies. I wait in eager anticipation on her following through from May 4.

I don’t want to picture her ‘following through’.

 

[Gronk]

Sorry old chap but I put far more store in Antony Green's figures than your opinion

Antony Green

I am unsure what your point is. Are you telling me what Dutton’s current position is now or where he was 12 months ago ?

Agree. ... His LWNJ parents have alot to answer for

Reminds me of that line from a film: Never go full reta... um, full Trump!

Why is she a nut bag? Because she used the term make Australia great again?

So because the orange man used that line we shouldn't ever use it or make our country great?

I think he meant she has a nut bag.

No, I'm refuting your assertion that it is Not a huge ask for the Coalition to win this election. Nothing to do with Dutton's current or previous positions.

1. There has not been a one term government since 1931.
2. If you watch the Antony Green report linked above he quite clearly states the Opposition will need a 5%+ swing to attain government on it's own ( 03:10 in the video ).
3. After redistributions they notionally have 57 seats. They need to flip 19 seats while holding all of theirs. But you seem to think that's a walk in the park.
4. Labor have a far easier task to even form a minority government.
5. Check the odds I linked to Sportsbet. They don't throw money away.

Have you heard the shit she usually goes on about?

Because she used the term make Australia great again?

That doesn't hep her.

Lol, our country is already on track. These people like Price are straight out lying to us all - the LNP have no plans, other than to keep dividing and return "power" to the people that feel like they always should lord it over the rest of us...

Albo would have to be caught f**king frozen chickens in Marrickville Coles to lose from here.

don't worry ... he doesn't really have any belief the lnp will win ... he is just doing a pre-emptive play it down

So what you’re saying is notwithstanding the apparent difficulties facing families struggling with the rising cost of living, no interest rate relief (other than the recent 0.25), no relief in power prices AND the fact that every country who has had a fed election in the past 18 months (other than Taiwan) has overturned their government ~ the Australian voters will return the incumbants because …… the job was just too big for them.

Why do you think that they are not resonating with the voters ? Polling in Dickson is showing that Dutton “might” even struggle to hold his seat.

I can see polling. But Shorten led the polls didn’t he ?

So basically because she uses the same words as Trump's she is the Ret word... Be strange but wouldn't expect much different from the tolerant left..

Whoa now you are using LNP words with the dividing and have no plans.. are you the Ret word??

 

[Bandwagon]

exactly, I dont think either party will resolve the inflation issues atm

Australia Inflation Rate

Inflation Rate in Australia decreased to 2.40 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024 from 2.80 percent in the third quarter of 2024. This page provides the latest reported value for - Australia Inflation Rate - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term...

Inflation has come back within the RBA target range, it's not so much of an issue right now. Problem is to undo inflation would usually mean a recession.

Prices is the problem, zero inflation means shit still costs the same, The only good way for prices to drop is relative to earnings, so wage rises in excess of inflation and time.
