Guess the One Nation boost has scared the Liberals

Yes, that was my thoughts.
The NSW Liberals didn’t hesitate to support Minns even though that was rushed through even quicker.

Iran before the islamic revolution was very liberal. Women wearing skirts like normal women. Then the extremists made them cover up and wear head scarfs. I hear over 2 thousand people have already been killed protesting the government.

America sold Iran F14 tomcats because they were an ally back then.

I support any people, anywhere in the world protesting for freedom against their government. Freedom is the most basic of human rights.

This has been put up on the Greens website.
I am not a Greens voter of course, but they do have a point with this.

“ “We need to ensure these laws cannot be weaponised to shut down legitimate political protest. Labor must make it crystal clear that criticism of Israel’s actions, just like those of Russia, China or Australia, will not be criminalised.”

Any logical person can understand protecting minority groups should not allow another foreign State to slide under another countries legal smokescreen when they're committing acts of genocide, abhorrent human atrocities and apartheid.

Societies that commit such atrocities are a blight on humanity and should be called out all day long. :!:

I could not give one F about Israel or Palestine. Not my people and not my war!

Not to mention both sides don't eat pork and they cut off their foreskin. Both weird to me.

Let them duke it out. I will worry about issues that impact my homeland.

You were stating in another post that you didn't care for this country and you would change masters in a heartbeat.Was it Texas?
Circumcision was a big thing in Australia in the 60's, 70's and even into the 80's where Anglo dads would have their sons sons calamari ring chopped off, in the name of hygiene.

Try harder. :D thanks for the :lol:

I do not support mutilating body parts of children. I am attached to my foreskin. I’m born with it and I will die with it. 3000 years ago in the desert with poor hygiene and you have an argument but not todays era.


I will use the word you mentioned earlier Genocide!

I don't care for this country anymore because it has been committing genocide against me at an ever increasing rate since 1996.

Yes I would swear allegiance to Texas if they decided to come here. Low odds of that happening but.

I want to watch NEWS, not completely biased far right, or far woke spin. It seems a bit hard to find now.

I am pretty sure he did do the funding cuts that nearly had the investigation team disbanded.

He also excluded the ASIO boss from the discussion table as he may not have been as controlled as the federal police boss.
The govts always have them under control and use them as a tool.
Remember when Abbott or Morriscum had them raid Shorten during the "kill Bill" campaign.

We are talking about the major corruption parties after all.
Who would have thought they would get so bad as to have their parties collapse and give One Nation a real chance.

from what i'm seeing, a lot of western countries are becoming extremely socially and politically polarised , especially australia . covid restrictions came as a shock to a lot of australians , and woke a lot of people up to pay attention to what our illustrious leaders are doing . the left have been gaining more influence and power, with their grass roots supporters like the gaza protestors becoming more extreme in their views and actions . the conservative thinking people of this nation, and a lot of australians who don't normally pay attention to politics, are reaching a point of "enough is enough" .
albo's actions will be his undoing hopefully . he acts like a communist dictator , thinking he knows what's best for us, trying to ram through laws with little or no time for true community consultation and democratic due process , doubling down on poor decisions due to ego and pride . i really hope he continues as he is , cause he's exposing what a useless poor excuse for a leader he is . i wouldn't be surprised if the labour party remove him as leader , but i hope they don't. next election , except for unions and city bound sheeple , labour will destroy itself . i can only hope :D

Absolutely, any logical person would agree with your statement. I certainly get what you’re saying.
However, the people of Australia should not be silenced if they wish to speak up about any issue for fear of prosecution.
Personally I don’t get a f*** about what they do in the Middle East either. But I do care if Australians cannot have an opinion on it, and can freely express their opinions, even if I completely disagree with them.

Unfortunately it's not that simple to cocoon ourselves into our own bubble without looking whats happening in the world. Most things that happen in the world global trade and economic commerce has an impact on us.

Wars in oil rich countries, Global financial economies, commodity prices, global energy prices, tariff impositions on our goods, all have an impact on us.

Closer to this forum, Didn't we just experience no less than 2 ammunition and gun buying panics in the States in that decade, that drove our prices through the roof and made ammunition scarce?

From what I am hearing, the woke left stuff is happening around the world and lots of American states have fallen.
New York just elected a full commo Mayor or whatever they call them.

We still have no middle ground and I don't support far right or left, but One Nation is the only way to force the change we need urgently now. I don't want to live under a communist dictatorship.

NZ flipped back the other way after that horses haed.
Jacinta is our friend, Biden is our friend, Trudo is our friend, the Pommy is our friend, says Elbo.
Well there is only about 1 friend left now.

The Kiwis, with their true hunting culture, and a small party getting together with the conservative government, are said to be winding back and fixing the knee-jerk gun laws she made before she relised she was in over her head, and resigned.

With us, and the govt controlling the mainstream media, we just don't hear about these things.
They don't even tell us what they have signed up for with the corrupted UN deals.
One Nation is our only chance at getting away from this s**t, as Trump has.
It's not like our country has benefited in any way; we are in a mess and not at rock bottom yet.

So sad at where my once great country is heading.

i reckon your right with a lot of that . BUT , auntie pauline wasn't invited to mara-lago by trump for no reason i reckon :D i expect to see more push back in our country, and we are of strategic value to the US . i expect to see a lot of US investment in mining for rare earth minerals in australia in the near future . here's hoping :thumbsup:

Yeah, Trump wouldn't have even bothered talking with Elbo until he held out long enough to know the snivelling idiot would say, " come and take the minerals, can have them for fwee"

The Don replies, "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours"

If it were not for our strategic importance with the top-end bases, we would be lucky to hold off a fleet of canoes that the Chinese send from one of their bought islands nearby.

I bet he suggested that after the dust settles, he give Crud another job for the boys.

When asked about the rise in support for One Nation the PM said.

“Oh, it's a worry because they can appeal to grievance, but they're a pretty divisive lot. And I think it's a worry,” Mr Albanese said.”

“I'm a believer in mainstream politics and that the parties of government… serve this country pretty well.”

They can appeal to grievance? That is the most stupid thing I have heard. Politics is all about grievance!!!!!

Seeing as One Nation is ranking high in the polls would that not make it mainstream?

The latest poll also showed broader discontent with major parties, with just 53 per cent of Australians backing either Labor or the Coalition.

This is an excellent takeaway. F the majors!!!

Well it looks like Queensland parliament sat today and made a statement that they will not be participating in a buyback, along with NT and Tasmania. They even went as far to say that even if it wasn’t 50/50 they would not be interested.

I thought the nats split with the libs last year. But it's good to see another party coming up and sending some chills across the floor.

I really can't see how a buy back would work only in a few states. Say SA, VIC and WA while the rest have no quotas and get to keep their button and pulls. It defeats their intended purpose of keeping these firearms out of the hands of would be terrorists.

Can you imagine if all that money that a buyback will cost, was spent on keeping firearms away from the people who should not have them in the first place.
Queensland estimates 120-160 million in buyback operational costs alone, and that’s not including the cost of the firearms and accessories etc.
So nationwide the amount of money is huge.

That’s a lot of money which could be used elsewhere, like more police resources.

Wow what a world! Is hell frozen over?

I am actually thinking to myself thank god Queensland has a liberal premier.

Or is this more so just David Crisafulli and his style of the party?

The bloke seems to be methodical. So credit where credit is due. I hate the liberal party but my hat is doffed to the premier of Queensland.
