Thankyou !

Im glad you too support Transexual reading library books to children and massive immigration 

Albanese was the first to allow transexual Library book reading in his own electorate of Marrickville,a fantastic man who will bring back the vote for the Voice 

 

I'm thinking with the doubling of the population my investment unit in Sydney should double the price soon ,we Sir are very good thinkers 

Thankyou for your service

I agree with many of the above sentiments, but how Albo and the ALP are running the show is still a better option than that horrible Dutton. Obviously the bulk of Australians felt the same way. Warts and all it was better to stay with the devil we know than that horrible Dutton. He was the worse leader the Libs ever had in their entire history, and probably the worst political leader in Australia's history. He was so bad he almost decimated the Liberal Party.

Why are you living in Thailand then?  Serious question.  

 

What has happened in Australia to make you want to live in another country?

Very true lol

I notice in my Government job I am dealing with a lot of indian background HR management,who unfortunately employ their own people first 

 

And of course , if you are the Contracts manager in a government dept eg deciding on who gets the Security contract etc etc .....say no more ,it will go to a indian company lol

They only employ their own people if they come from the "right part of the country"

When the only applicants are Indian, because it's a job Aussies refuse to do, then of course an Indian will get the job. An Aussie can get Centerlink, an Indian can't.   :smile:

Voting greens ummm when have they ever had a complete set of plans for the country from local to foreign affairs? Often over payed managers and do goodies who never had to worry about where the next dollar comes from, but having said that them other two lost the plot years ago, im known as a swinging voter, early on Labour early John Howard Liberal, once they knifed Malcom nobody, I have a social justice streak which makes me wither in pain at times, my dad told me a long time ago that a strong opposition was good for the country but the country runs better under The libs, and I have to say thats how its panned from where ive been sitting, but lets face it the entire world is has lost the plot, all sorts of crack pots in power all over the globe, and they have this idea of lowering taxes will ignite the world economy when in fact it should be going the other way like knuckling down on corporations and the wealthy...

I am in Thailand, so I didn't vote. 

 

A bit of trivia, there hasn't been a one term government in Australia since 1931.  It appears when you vote a party in, you unofficially vote them in for 8 years, not 4 years. 

 

It didn't matter if Albo or Dutton won tonight.  Australia will still continue down the same path towards becoming a banana republic.  A trillion dollars in debt for a population of only 28 million people. 

 

Australia will continue to max out its credit card, and when Australia loses its AAA credit rating, we are looking at 15 baht to $1AUD. 

 

Labor will celebrate being able to have their snouts in the trough for another 4 years, but there's nothing for your kids and grand kids and great grand kids to celebrate. 

Terms are 3 years not 4.

Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard.

Hasn't been a decent Labor leader since Bob Hawke.

 

That was the last time I voted Labor. Didn't vote for Keating. Nasty but of gear that bloke. Not a bad treasurer but not a leader.

I met a friend tonight in Sydney who is a transexual 

His group has put a funding application into the Federal Government for a financial grant to read books in State Library to children to educate them  on diversity and dignity & respect 

 

Thankyou Albo for diversity

A very sad day for Australia but the good natural citizens of Australia can always apply for a visa to enter the United States where President Trump is Making America Great Again. MAGA

The Greens and Labor. What a match made in hell.

Won't allow a gold mine because of a lizard or frog but happily destroy pristine forests for wind turbines.

Hippocrites.

It would be nice if you posted something which was not complete BS.

 

Dutton embraced Trump and his policies. It was one of the factors in him being the first opposition leader in Australia's history to lose his seat. Mild warmth turned to revulsion.

Better than entrenched intergenerational wealth inequality, which was what Dutton represented.

I am also in Thailand, and I took the trouble and expense to vote; a postal vote which arrived via DHL about 2 weeks ago, found another Australian registered voter to witness my vote, and posted it off to the Oz Embassy in Bangkok (37 Baht postage) to be sent back to Australia via diplomatic bag.

 

I, unlike some Australians, recognize my luck in being born in a free country and having the right to vote in a free open democratic election.  I also acknowledge, on ANZAC Day, those who have fought and died in wars so that I can enjoy the freedoms I enjoy.

 

To the original poster - I also voted Greens, Labor second preference, and the Neo-Nazi Fascists last positions.

 

 

I asked for a couple vote as well.

 

Was sent nearly 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting...........

You seem to misunderstand, I support the teachings in the Bible, King James version, to be precise; rather than the mistranslated distorted versions being pushed by Trump.

How is it better? So we can all be equally poor?  The politics of envy is a very sad state to be in.

Three people in the USA are sitting on more cash than 150 million Americans at the bottom of the totem pole. If you can't see anything wrong with that, your values are skewed.

 

In Australia, negative gearing and capital gains discount have distorted the housing market beyond recognition. It took me 18 months to pay off my mortgage, now it takes a lifetime.

 

Of course, there are people who think that's OK. Greedy b@stards. Welcome to the club.

 

Australia was the country of the fair go. No longer.
