    It's all very exciting isn't it? Did y'all buy shares when the prices slumped? You'd be rich now if you did.

    It looked like it to me. Go to 15mins 40secs. It may have been a DC3.

    We have a 10% GST, even on imported second hand goods. I've had to pay it on my purchases of old cameras for my collection. Jerry Harvey is to blame, and I've boycotted Harvey Norman since that impost on used goods came in. Our government is no better than Trump.

    All the States were under threat, from International Socialism. Americans hate socialism, taxes are too high.

    Yeah, I've been up in a Dragonfly. Real thrill that was, like going for a ride in a flying Bondi tram. And what about the pilot of the DC4 leaning right out of his window to slam the side door shut - bit how-ya-going that was.

    We're in new times, and it's a case of "Out with the old, and in with the new". The slate needs to be wiped clean.

    Why have voting then? Why should I go and vote if nothing will change?
  8. Grumpy Old Nasho
    Aaah but new parties may come along with new and very attractive policies .. What then? if they win a sizeable chunk of votes, say, 35% primary votes, and look like they'll do even better next time. Do you think the ALP and Coalition will lie down and let democracy take it's course?
  9. Grumpy Old Nasho
    It's my way of protesting. I've never felt any affinity with the major dumb parties, nor our "Pommie" Westminster style of government. It creates perpetual disenfranchisement of about 30% of the electorate. And majority rule of 50 + 1 is dinosaur stuff, it needs to be more than that, a lot more. The ALP and the Conservatives have ruled since 1901, and that should tell us how rigged the political system is. Can you imagine Australia ever being governed by any other parties? Be honest with your answer.

    Dutton hasn't come up with much has he? Just nuclear power and sacking Govt workers. And the only thing Albo has come up with is: "In Australia's best interests", and, "We are still good friends with the United States, but not Trump" Are these two really worth voting for? I'm staying home thank you very much.

    Australia is the Titanic now ... just check the election results as they come in. The dumb major parties will be watching their preference votes more closely than their primary votes.
  12. Grumpy Old Nasho
    No because other useless and unnecessary bureaucracy would go the way of the Dodo.
  13. Grumpy Old Nasho
    Yeah it would be large, and nationwide, about a thousands members to start with, with different jobs for different members, all working together in harmony, each backing the other up, one for all, all for one.
  14. Grumpy Old Nasho
    Yes we need a bill-of-rights, and it should be a very long list of rights.
  15. Grumpy Old Nasho
    It's only preference voting that props up minority tallies here, so no real difference. The same duopoly gets in every election.
  16. Grumpy Old Nasho
    I don't know why they don't bring it in for the common voters, it would be near impossible then to scribble nasty graffiti on the on-line virtual ballot paper.
  17. Grumpy Old Nasho
    I've been to plenty of polling booths, just not lately.
  18. Grumpy Old Nasho
    I could get any girl I want, a lady working in a shop once told me. The thing is, she didn't tell me how.
  19. Grumpy Old Nasho
    Give it up, I haven't met a nice lady at a polling booth yet.
  20. Grumpy Old Nasho
    No problems facthunter. It's one of those adventures you go on with an open mind and reap the rewards if you don't stuff up. That's how I'm looking at it.
  21. Grumpy Old Nasho
    You did raise a family onetrack? I was only guessing there.
  22. Grumpy Old Nasho
    I'm meeting a potential girlfriend in a few days time, a long way from here, about 250ks, she's the most beautiful and wonderful lady I ever talked to. I simply don't deserve her, but I'm meeting her anyway. She's taking me out for lunch and I'll talk my head off attempting to persuade her to join me in a long term relationship. Her ex conscript husband died, R.I.P, great bloke from all accounts. He was a bit like onetrack, endured the setbacks, then got back on his feet to work and raise a family.

    Australia is in a minority of compulsory voting nations. It's quite strange how we believe so fervently in majority rule, then shun that principle on an international basis. Why are we in the UN?
  24. Grumpy Old Nasho
    It's a different matter when the Govt (or AEC) creates a disadvantage. They make voting compulsory, but then make it unnecessarily difficult to carry out their order. It's not where I chose to live, it's the Govt's pigheadedness to lighten the load when we are under duress to obey their dictatorial demand.

    It would work perhaps if a $50 bottle of wine and card are left in the letter box at Christmas time, suitably hidden so only the postie can find it. Otherwise the postie has the right to refuse to deliver mail back to the Center.
