  1. Teals are still discussing whether to form a party too. If they did I could picture a few moderate Libs jumping ship. And Teals would poll a lot better than PHONey in urban electorates.
  2. No, I was responding to GON's comment about people supporting one nation. If there's a large crossover in the Venn diagram of PHONeys and flag wavers then I guess the (MAGA) cap may fit, but I know correlation<>causation.
  3. All it means is Australia has stupid people, just like the US. They have a greedy narcissistic psychopath in the oval Office, busily stealing everything that isn't nailed down for himself, his family and criminals who rioted in the Capitol. That anyone here would want the same thing is a poor reflection on their mental processes.
  4. I liked one comedian's take on why Trump didn't fly to the Bahamas for his son's wedding... Flying to an island makes him miss his mate Jeffrey.

    Rock the Casbah? (I don't know the woman)
  6. Yeah that would involve a working knowledge of electrickery.
  7. Bit damp down here at the moment, over 140mm in last 3 days. Our little creek which is normally a gentle trickle.
  8. Scomo gave it a try, how many ministries was he secretly running?
  9. Our new MG5 will have all that assistance. However if I want to go back to basics, I jump on the bike. Manual gears, only 1 dial (speedo) and even the indicators don't turn off automatically. 😄
  10. Hmm welcome AI
  11. Rear tyre for your rat bike?
  12. A bit too well - is that real? Never known bricks to stay together like that.
  13. Hmmmm. Yeah I'm sure that will be fair and impartial, given that the FBI, the Justice department and the Supreme Court are all fully owned Trump subsidiaries.
  14. I know one white boomer who quite rightly got kicked off the radio - Alan Jones.
  15. Yeah - silly idea by the poms, sending their worst people to a better place!
  16. I always suspected he was a bot. 😂
  17. They can be amusing sometimes. I remember an old Croatian bloke telling me once, in all seriousness (although with a few shots of slivovitz on board) - "My wife, ok, I get home a bit late, and my wife, he say to me, 'What in the hell have you been??'"

    Californication. Great song.
  19. Could have been worse. Severe flatulence for example.

    Winnie the Pooh. But instead of all that rubbish about a P with a ghost saying "boo" without the b, why didn't they just use the 💩?
  21. There are many good tenants needing homes. I don't see that as a reason to leave a house unoccupied.
  22. If investors only BUILT new houses for rental there wouldn't be an issue. But they buy up existing housing stock which pushes prices beyond the reach of owner occupiers.
  23. Apparently Claude is good enough to convince Richard Dawkins, possibly the world's most recognisable atheist, that it's conscious. Utter BS, of course.
  24. It's not just housing. The ratio of working age people to retirees continues to drop. It's only fair that income from assets is taxed at the same rate as income from labour.
  25. So when circumstances change, you would rather the government of the day either stuck to their election promises or call an election every time they needed to pivot? What the hell do we elect them for then? When Howard and Costello brought in the CGT discount in 1999 (from which the wealthiest 10% get 80% of the benefit), did they take it to an election?
