Nev's right though. For all their absolute stupidity for going off to join the caliphate, and the abhorrent isis, they remain Australian citizens with Australian passports. Any crimes they have committed over there, which are offences under Australian law or international laws that Australia is signatory to, will be charged. The children of course are innocent and should be given the same opportunity to grow up in Australia as any of us. To suggest we should somehow prevent Australian citizens from returning home is just wrong.

You know that old thought exercise about which famous people, alive or dead, you'd invite to you ultimate dinner party? People choose Einstein, Jesus, Confucius, Plato etc. I'd choose Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Putin, and Netanyahu. Catering by Erin Patterson.

They have 1,409,000,000 people. We have 28,000,000.

Well this will help them turn the ship around... 😂 ABC Live blog says Tony Abbott is positioning himself to be the next president of the Liberal party. Kind of like hiring Putin to be a conflict mediator, or Trump to bring honesty back to politics. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-07/federal-politics-live-blog-early-childcare-commission/106651090

Standing ovation

Absolutely vote how you like. Just be aware of who owns the party you're voting for. They will be doing HER will, not yours or any other "Traditional Aussies".

What I would comment on is the extent to which PHON is owned by Gina. Read the following article if you haven't eaten. Pauline is fed, clothed and transported with Gina's money. She is a wholly owned subsidiary. For anyone considering voting for One nation, you're actually voting for Gina, an unelected and Trump loving billionaire. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/ng-interactive/2026/apr/30/gina-rinehart-one-nation-pauline-hanson-donations-ntwnfb

But in answer to your question - I would start a foundation with very smart and trustworthy people at the top, with the remit to determine the underlying causes of the most urgent problems affecting people - climate change, inequality, poverty, access to health care / education / justice / clean water / food etc, and the most effective way of lessening those problems. Every billionaire out there could give 99% of their wealth to endeavours like this and still live very comfortable lives. The fact that they don't speaks volumes about their character.

Ruining democracy seems to be the activity of choice.

A perk of the job

Then don't get an electric car if it doesn't suit you. If town is only 80km away why would you have to charge there? Even if it being all uphill used twice as much charge as usual, that's only 160km and obviously you'd use half as much charge going downhill, so another 40km makes 200 for your round trip. Most EVs have a range of 450 or more so just charge at home.

GON, under what law would any government "throw out" Australian citizens born in Australia?

I think governments around the world are keenly aware that standing up to Trump is politically popular. If Trump ramps up the rhetoric against Australia I reckon Albo will start being less restrained in response. At the moment it's only Andrew Hastie that publicly speaks common sense about Trump - I'm sure a lot of his sentiments are shared widely around the parliament but at the moment they're not done in front of the press.
