How long till we all are on the bones of our @rses

Post by Wapiti » 03 Feb 2026, 3:43 pm

Another interest rate rise driven solely by the trash in government in this country.

We have 3 generations of people, whole families, coming through my wife's practice with real scurvy, literally starving.
People being brought into the private practice by ambulances because the local hospital is stretched to the limit.
People with cancer signs being sent home from the uncaring hospitals with a few Panadol, "you'll be OK" only to finally be diagnosed by GP's when their cancer is inoperable.
Old people dying last week in the heat because the power's been turned off to their homes by Energex because they can't pay their bills, and they can't run fans or aircons even if they could afford to.
Last winter, pensioners living alone were dying from cold, in their freezing homes for the same reason.
Pensioners and young families having their houses legally stolen by the council for not paying their rates for too long whilst trying to get their kids laptops, uniforms and shoes, they and pensioners thrown out on the street to live in the parks or their cars, if they are lucky.

In the richest country on earth, where we sell all our own energy instead of using it! When will this stop ????

And this sickening government dare to try and silence us all on social media and elsewhere, discussing their failures and complete crimes, whilst senators fly their husbands and kids all over the country to visit sporting events and dine in 5-star hotels on the blood-let taxpayers.

And now even more pain, from a government spitting in our faces while they buy investment properties galore:

Well, i won't be sticking around long enough to find out, but it's gonna be a long slog to afford the ticket out. That's why they want us poor & dumb. Otherwise, they'd be driven insane by all the sycophants left behind.

It does seem odd that successive governments keep engineering ever increasing house prices...and now the scheme to help first home buyers is for the government to own some of your house....

Still trying sell broken records I see Wapiti...

As to the housing sector, most of the favourable tax treatment was set up up under conservative govts

As for scurvy showing up at the medical centre, last time I was at the shops frozen veggies and fruit is pretty cheap, you can't change stupid

Seeing as your listed as being from NSW, (the heart of axe grinding territory), why not be content with grinding the remnants of what you have, and let the rest of us that are being cohesive through all this, get along. :thumbsup:

You just don't like people who have a go and won't give up. You forget what a forum us.
You were still praising your thieving mate Minns a few posts ago.
Love your ego-inflating self-appraising sig-line BTW, soon to be a lot shorter?
Decided which of those toys you boast owning now you're giving your mate?

When was the last time you contributed anything to this forum, a few pics, a story, something other than a sentence or two of criticising others that actually do?


And on the vegies, so many people are not as fortunate as you are with your inflated head in the sand. They are too expensive for those poor folks to afford. And the junk food that they can afford is devoid of everything a human being is supposed to eat.
That comment is fact, based on people's blood tests.
Something you're too precious to give away and find out what's really going on.

i agree mate .

to the rest of the forum members ,if you ask most people do they believe in democracy and freedom of speech , they would reply yes . in the internet world that goes out the window . opinionated people trolling others for their different views goes against these principles . this is a forum for exchange of views and ideas . if someone has a different opinion agree to disagree i reckon . i get on a lot of forums from overseas and i don't see the level of trolling and personal abuse that i see on this forum . gun owners need to unite in common cause , as does the centre right of politics otherwise the left wing woke cr@p will just continue to grow .

remember this , the enemy of my enemy is my friend , so unite and reclaim our country and put petty criticisms and squabbles in their place cause at times i do see some really petty cr@p on here. are we honourable men or self important children :unknown:

rant over, take it how you like :thumbsup:

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen... proof that white ants will eat your house out from the inside.
DJ'S right, maybe sweep your own front door first.

But it's flattering living non-stop in someone's head, and their willing to expose their bitterness for others having a go over it.
Or maybe, I've got a stalker... I've said before, only ladies are my type.
Biological women, that is.

Here we go again. NOBODY is living in someone else's head...........for crying out loud. We put up with your so called intelligent criticism, calling people morons, losers yadah, yadah, yadah etc. Me thinks many of us on this forum are a tad sick of it. By all means offer an opinion BUT also offer constructive solutions that would suit and benefit all. Unfortunately, in that department, you are failing miserably. :problem:

What is it with this place, I feel like I have battered wife's syndrome or Stockholm syndrome, I keep coming back but I just see the same aggressive crap over and over again and people dismissing other people. Hell.i think I even made a thread about it a while ago

There are some smart cookies and genuine blokes on here and I've learnt a lot but someone doesn't have to be the smartest person in the room all the time (I work with enough Silicon Valley folks and go there, I see it all the time [and yes I live in the country and have always come up here as a kid every holidays and family were born here. Saying this because I will be judged on that too on here. Starlink makes the world smaller]) or talk past people, or ignore someone else's post and relay the exact same information with less experience in the subject matter with no explanation why you do it that way.

"Don't worry about the technical crap, I've done it a heap of times like this and it was fine...." _handwave_

I'll keep coming back because there are so many good gems of info and good blokes as a whole but I might just make the breaks inbetween a little longer

Got a question for you, when you are expressing your opinion by joining in on a conversation, as you do in a forum where all views are supposed to be accepted, or contributing a long answer to try and help someone sincerely when you don't have to, and some keyboard clown insults you without provocation, do you ignore it or pull them up?
Sorry, but I won't take it, and I certainly won't on the street either. Or in the workplace.
If it keeps you from the forum, feel free to put the people who offend you as "foes", so you never have to be offended again. After all, they obviously don't have any contribution to make in your opinion, so it's all win -win for you.

Your description thereof (although not the member/s your pointing at) fits like a glove for another member who departed suddenly not so long ago.
At least 95% departed, (lingers) and I suspect now is sustained by being tube fed or similar. ? stroke

Good. I've fired you all up.
Now that you've taken the predictable path of those people I despise, that seems to have offended your fragile selves, maybe redirect that hate now you're all worked up to fix your own political problems screwing you all down.

If you can't cope with someone's opinions of their political enemies, maybe it doesn't agree with yours, get onto the mod and have me banned.
Go on, do it.
Have I ever attacked you personally? Like you're doing to me?
One thing's for sure in life, along with death and taxes, that when the weak get confronted by something they go on personal attacks from behind a keyboard.
Rather than put up an intelligent different point of view in a debate fashion, it's too easy to belittle and show true character, ain't it boys.

It's like moths to a flame isn't it.
Even though it burns them, they can't stay away.
Can't hurt that bad then. Maybe some people feel the need to belittle others personally for their own failings, just can't keep their eyes away from their own car crash.
But who gives a toss about whingers, whinging about whingers. We've all the same foes.

It's no wonder most of the people down here want nothing to do with the city folk, they are sick of being judged. But don't fret, precious, I'm not like that. If I see you fall into the quicksand, I'll still pull you out.
