Never going to happen mate. He's in complete disagreement with the global theft agenda.
If he ever got close, he probably wouldn't come back in after a swim. Or maybe an errant bus would collect him. Or his chopper would suffer "mechanical failure" at 5000ft.

Littleproud has been contacted by Ley and invited to rethink their coalition, saying that her people are now actively trying to come to an agreement on the sticking points that the Nationals supporters find so important - the ridiculous renewables destruction of their land, the deliberate high power prices ruining everybody and all the businesses left in this country, alternative means to generate power...

Just like I said I reckon they were doing - forcing the useless, Labor-Lite Liberals to see why, for the last two elections that their supporters are increasingly abandoning them, scare the sh*t out of them and force their hand as to why they are so unpopular now.
Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. Are the Liberals completely lost due to the self-serving hangers-on that they have become?

Who knows, but after all the inflammative commentary, what the Nats have just done has worked - force the Liberals to the negotiating table to look at what their voter base actually wants.


Littleproud is finished for this.
Had no conviction anyway. A few years ago he was flogging wind farms. No belief in his own conviction.
It dose’nt fly when they change their beliefs just to secure more votes . That’s not a man you’d follow into battle. He’s not a leader.

How did the epic failure of the voice work so well for Albo
Because he stayed true to his beliefs and ran it anyway as he had promised .
That gets respect.

Yes looking at their website they say nothing about guns but they want to give every Australian $500 a week universal basic income.

So they are semi scumbags in their fiscal approach.

Unless it is your own party that you created you will find that not every party is perfect and you wont like every single policy.

However they seem like a party that could be worked with. A lot better than the greens and the majors.

No firearms policy on the website is a dead giveaway. They’re anti. Just like Clive Palmers fart trumpets. He spruiks “freedom” boldly with no context. And has a long history of being anti gun.

They’re more focused on snapping up greens votes. The Victorian socialists have flocked to them and have been pushing them hard on social media. Talk to them face to face. They’re communists.

Hey look I like their policies too. It’s just their people. Don’t like them. They can go build a commune in the bush somewhere.
It’s just uni students who want the government to support them so they can stay in uni till they’re about 30
