  1. Labor has policies that are destroying us and our country. The others, not so much.
  2. So that everyone understands the context of Pauline Hanson’s loss on appeal: On 9 September 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi posted the following statement online: “Condolences to those who knew the Queen. I cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised peoples. We are reminded of the urgency of Treaty with First Nations, justice & reparations for British colonies & becoming a republic.” Senator Pauline Hanson responded: “Your attitude appals and disgusts me. When you immigrated to Australia you took every advantage of this country. You took citizenship, bought multiple homes, and a job in a parliament. It’s clear you’re not happy, so pack your bags and piss off back to Pakistan.” I am 100% with Pauline on this, it is one of the reasons Australians want ON.
  3. Just teach them to swim first. The ones with guns will sink.
  4. A Victorian Labor MP has been accused of being out of touch after claiming some residents would rather put up with potholes than have their street resurfaced and draw extra traffic. Upper House MP Sonja Terpstra made the comments during a parliamentary debate on Victoria's road network on Wednesday.
  5. Takes me back to my holiday in Scotland.
  6. Remember you are debating only about 9% of Australia's energy consumption. As a share of Australian energy consumption, hydrocarbon fuel declined only marginally, from 91.2 per cent in 2021-22 to 90.7 per cent in 2023-24. This has not been due to the take up of alternative energy sources, but due to the decline of energy consumed by the manufacturing sector. In the first two years of the Albanese government, energy consumption in the manufacturing sector declined by 10.4 per cent, or 5.2 per cent per annum.
  7. How many songs do you know? I think I know thousand of tunes and lyrics. Not as a performer, just to sing along with the radio. For example, I must know half of the top fifty between 1950 and 1980. That is 40 years of 25 songs, 1000 just there.

  9. That is crazy!
  10. He means a BUBALUS (Latin for gazelle)
  11. Rejoice rejoice. Step 1 of saving our state. Most corrupt government in our history.
  12. She must be Russian.
  13. My new air conditioner is ducted 18kW. Hence the big electric bill since we installed it and have it on heating all day! Previously had ducted bottle gas.
  14. Here is what my energy costs have done over the last year: Gas Elec Total 2025 June 150.00 183.20 333.20 2025 Jul 155.00 155.45 310.45 2025 Aug 310.00 144.25 454.25 2025 Sep 155.00 165.03 320.03 2025 Oct 155.00 74.95 229.95 2025 Nov 155.00 211.58 366.58 2025 Dec 162.29 162.29 2026 Jan 181.61 181.61 2026 Feb 155.00 181.52 336.52 2026 Mar 160.17 160.17 2026 Apr 228.23 228.23 2026 May 180.00 199.61 379.61 Heat pump air conditioner installed 2026 June 339.32 339.32 2026 Jul 518.70 518.70 Electric Hot Water system installed

    Liberty and justice for all.
  16. Great development if it works.
  17. The surveys are saying she is likely to lose Bendigo to Andrew Lethlean. I met him on Saturday, he is an impressive alternative.
  18. I'm more worried about him flapping the guns in a pub.

  22. I disliked Yank Tanks for most of my life, and admired small British sports cars. But in recent years I have grown to admire the muscle cars. I will probably never own one, but somehow wish I had bought a GTHO or an XU1 back in the day. Am I turning into a bogan?
