What has Trump done now?

[Siso]

Definately agree that we need politician that have done other stuff except politics

Albo has never held a real Job, always was a labor lackey, so what he lived in social housing and his Mum was a single parent, this did not set him up to be the prime minister of this great country, many of us emigrant(i came here 56 years  ago), when you could walk to a new job the next day if you didnt like it always was more jobs than workers, then came the labor /socialist party to power ,downhill we all went , rents went up, morgage went up, fuel went up, labor spend like there is no tomorrow,taxes go up,yada yada yada, why do we as a nation keep voting  these no talent pollies (on both sides)  to power, we are not all fools, is it because the 2 party system splits us into different sides, the greens are a waste of taxpayers money to pay them, indepentants never achieve much at all ,One Nation seems to attract some strange people (but i do like the sentiments they espouse). we need strong politicians that see that our back is now up against the wall and take strong measures to counter this, relying on asia for our fuel is stupid, asians think we are all racist in Aus, they can bring us to our knees anytime they want, we as a country cannot survive without fuel and forget going full solar it is not ideal for the vastness of our great country, immigration should be stopped completely we are full up . As a country we need to go fully independant for our safety and advancement, yes i think we should go slightly isolationist for a while bring us back to a even keel, I am in the last years of my life , so wont see changes but i hope my kids and grandkids do

I appreciate that and yes that is called having a opinion on both of our points of view and being able to accept that rite now days seems to be something that the left doesnt believe we should have

 

[nomadpete]

Firstly, TDS is certainly a thing to worry about. Observing the derangement of trump should be a warning to us all. Yeah  I do know the intended meaning of TDS.... but the yanks were seldom good at irony. It would be clearer if they put the apostrophy after the middle word, but the yanks don't do proper grammar either.

 

The positive side of watching 'Good Ole USA' going down it's own self made gurgler, is that we have the option of learning from it. 

 

The lesson goes way beyond "Don't put a raving nutcase in charge of the place!".

 

Our leaders SHOULD be taking notes on how badly certain policies can turn out. Are they watching the cause and effect of eash fiasco in the american clown show? It should make it easier for our political observers to work out smarter ways to run our own country.

 

Sadly (In my opinion) we are following too closely behind USA instead of steering clear of the biggest sinhle cause of government erosion. The rise of the oligarcs - the ones with obscene wealth. The ones who can and do buy and sell just about every politicion and policy with their small change. The ones who fund 'Super Pacs'  etc.

 

The politicians (not just their party leaders) do not sing to the tune of the majority of the populace.

 

There is no point in saying 'Oh but there are some pollies with ethics', unless the majority have ethics, the political system is owned by the big players.

 

So, my challenge to you is this..... what would you propose to change this ?

 

Cos I have no effin idea.

If you have the time watch the latest Press Club interview done with Matt Canavan it will be up on Youtube soon I think.......It was a cracker !  This guy would make a great Prime Minister. He is sensible and forward thinking and has some great ideas to launch this country forward.

This should be made the Adrress to the Nation not like Mr Magoo's one

He's a Dill acting for the Coal Industry.  and He's only a Senator. (Not directly elected) and dresses Up as a Tradie. It's the NATS that have killed the Libs. Nev

Gees l dunno.

Our Govs that do get in have been destroying our country, selling their soul and us their people and our kids out for bloody yrs- both of them in one way or other. And what Albos done and is doing to our country now, man.

This guy is so on point in so many huge ways whatever he is, God l wish he was in a party where he could become PM myself, and l'm a tree hugger.

Trouble is, what Albo's doing , and what the others have also done, is so damn serious if l have to choose between climate and what's left of my country , right now l'd choose to save my country first.

Easy to Promise anything, when you'll never have to actually Run the Show for ALL of us. Coal is the solution for MATT. Do your Homework more thoroughly, and don 't believe a word 2GB or SKY Utters. There's NO EVs in Canavan's Plan. Just Lot's of CO2. Nev

Don't just go on ONE speech He Made, work out where He's coming from and Whose interests He serves. He's the Party's current leader but you really cannot LEAD from the Senate. Nev

[randomx]

Ahhh, just sayin. But what l think about anything will change nothing to what's happening to our country as we speak anyway. And this guy, makes no difference what l think he'll never be in a position to change or fix any of it either.

Neither will me doing any homework. l have real problems to solve in life right now.

Tell you what though, there was one helluva lot in what he did talk about , spears to the heart of what is happening in this country right now and has been decades.

All talk well, supposing he did get the chance, even if he could mange a few key points of he's ideals there, could be enough to turn us around before it's too late, but as l say, he'll never be in that position anyway.

[Kyle Communications]

You forget Canavan has been involved directly in the govt ranks for a long time. Tony Abbott hired him when he was young when he was PM..Canavan knows his way around the political backrooms and is NO DILL.......people tend to forget this. He has a lot of experience the difference is he is a lot smarter than the rest of them. He just currently is not in a position to be the PM...but he is still young and who knows what can happen in the future...here is hoping that somehow he gets a path to the very top. I would much rather have him at the top than any of the current idiots in control

A prodigee of Abbott? Be careful what you ask for.

Hell yeah ,  scary stuff. Noticed to he seems all in on Chump and the yanks too, that ain't good.

Actually Canavan does not like Trump or the Iran war at all. 

[Marty_d]

Canavan is a nut job.

Anyway isn't this a bit off topic? There's another thread about Australian politics.

[Marty_d]

And for all the Trump and Netanyahu fanbois... Tell me again what "the master of the deal" has done for America?

 

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-08/donald-trump-cedes-ground-to-iran-before-negotiations-even-begin/106541368

 

After being fooled into this war by a war criminal, Trump has:

- caused devastation to life and infrastructure in Iran

- spent billions of US taxpayers money on a war they didn't want or need 

- depleted the US armory 

- caused mayhem around the middle east 

- raised prices around the world due to fuel and transportation costs, along with associated shrinking of tourism etc

- trashed America's reputation even more

- put money back in Putin's coffers enabling him to continue the Ukraine invasion.

 

And in return for all this pain, felt worldwide, what has he accomplished?

 

Nothing.

 

If anything, the Iranian regime will come out of this with more than they started with. Not only will sanctions be removed, they will be making money, Mafia-style, from any ship using the Strait of Hormuz.

No regime change.

No democracy.

No stopping of their nuclear program.

 

And you think this pathetic creature is doing right for the US?

Don't make me laugh.
