conservatives are back ?

Post by bigrich » 14 Apr 2026, 4:55 pm

well fellas a lot of strong talk from the new liberal leader , complete polar opposite from susan ley . lefty's will be frothing at the mouth over this new policy :D
never thought i'd see policies like this from the coalition . i read one nation got hacked the other day by parliament house IT department , draft polices were made available to anyone for a few hours , AFP to investigate . tell you what , this new coalition policy sounds a lot like one nation's with a bit of the orange man thrown in . just sayin' :P
have a watch and see what you think

Yeah, but talk is cheap.
We'll see.
As long as politicians have mouths, everything coming out when they talk is either lies, sh*t or semen.

Yeah talk is cheap.

Liberals in Tasmania a few years ago said if they win they will introduce cat C for sports shooters. They won and they went back on their word.

I do feel like liberals are so far gone and they know it that they will try to reinvent themselves.

Lefties don't vote for them and conservatives are not voting for them. So who is their voter base?

that's what is behind this strong talk , their losing all their voter base to one nation . i read a article a few weeks ago about the coalition facing a "extinction event " next election . i find it funny how some have mocked ON , yet they've changed the political landscape in the last few months just through opinion polls . and the coalition seem to be stealing ON policies ;)
for the sake of this country the conservatives need to pull together to rid us of toxic labour and rebuild the country . to his credit , QLD premier david crussifulli didn't screw Queenslander's with gun laws and buybacks , and is pushing for the oil fields at taroom to be expanded . good on him :thumbsup:

Yeah mate I agree. Crissifulli is ok. I hate what he is doing with free speech laws but in regards to guns he is ok.

He grew up on a cane farm so he is familar with life on the land.

And yes if the liberals don't change they are done. The damage for them is probably already 95% done so they have a low chance of survival.

AND now, am I hearing that they will now ban the lever/button release and straight-pull stuff now too?
And pander to the Queens with the Greyhounds...
