Is our 2 party system just a con?

[facthunter]

Why not name the One instead of it falling where it MAY on the Usual suspects. GON hasn't been backward in coming forward with some Rather OFF comments about individuals either. Nev

  Who Pays for the Helicopters and firebombers? Theres not many Bushfires in Cities and we are going to have MORE bushfires . There's an ongoing fight between the CFA and the Others.  IT's LABOR  in Australia BTW, and People vote freely here and it's NOT OK to abuse them personally on site like this. Nev

One farmer on the ABC Radio on the weekend said he has been a CFA volunteer for 50 years and now the scummy Allan government have adjusted his fire levy from 8000 p/y to  35000 . So if you lefties think that is a good thing there is something wrong with you . He said he had a neighbour that is getting 100,000 levy.  It's not only that. Allan has made it law that they can't stop the power companies going on their property because wind farms are more lucrative than farms. And they are acquiring land for power company use with the owner having no say in it.

Bullying?? This - from one of the most abusive, right wing ranters I have seen on any forum? In every second post you are being personally abusive to other contributors, with personal denigration attacks.

You take peoples statements out of context, or amplify them to extreme levels. You abuse Nev because he has reservations about Rotax engine designs, and makes out that he says all Rotax-powered aircraft are going to fall from the sky.

 

I'm not "shit-scared" of getting out of my car in Northam - but I do have personal experience of my wife being threatened with rape in a womans toilet in Northam by a gang of dark-skinned teenage juveniles who followed her in, unbeknowns to me.

 

I do know, with 5 police or ex-police in our extended family, that Northam registers high on crime rates, and I know it's a combination of drugs, poor parenting, and juvenile delinquency. My nephews big industrial property just out of Northam was raided, and the thieves stole every computer in the place, costing him a motza. The crims weren't immigrants.

 

These problems, of poor parenting, drugs, juveniles being led in to crime, are world wide, not just in Victoria. Your state does seem to have a spike in crime by the offspring of Sudanese immigrants, I guess the police will get a handle on it, soon.

 

You live in a world of "left-wing" hatred and abuse, generated by Hanson, Trump, Gina Hancock, et al. It's about time you took a hard look at yourself and put yourself in other peoples shoes.

You're obviously very wealthy, you own several trucks, you're a businessman, you own aircraft, you can afford to fly regularly, you probably own more than one property.

 

You've achieved all that, despite "left wing liars" (another abusive right wing tirade - as if right-wing politicians never lie) being in Federal and State power, for a large proportion of the 21st century. You still make good money under Labor control and decision-making.

 

I guess you want to live in the right-wing dream world where there are only white people in Australia, where corporations can do what they like, where poor people are alway just regarded as poor, because they're lazy, and where juvenile criminals are sent to the electric chair for stealing a car. You live in a world of childish simplistic answers and solutions.

You have no idea what I have and don't have. I don't think xairs and old Jabirus put me in the rich man's club. 

I don't give a flying fuck what you think of me

Until the last few days, this forum has been pretty respectful between people with different political views.  Suddenly, it has deteriorated.  I am happy to listen to any reasoned, respectful argument.

labour supporters refuse to believe anything presented to them.  i guess that makes them as dishonest as the government or gullible. not sure which.

One Nation, led by Senator Pauline Hanson, has faced numerous financial and lobbying controversies over the years, including undisclosed campaign funds, police raids, and National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) referrals. [1, 2, 3]

Key Corruption and Financial Controversies:

• NACC Staffer Referral: In May 2025, a former One Nation senator referred a senior party staffer to the National Anti-Corruption Commission amid allegations the staffer sought commissions from clients met during a 2017 Senate inquiry. [1]
• National Treasury Audits: In mid-2026, financial accounting reviews revealed the Queensland branch of One Nation accumulated missing assets and repeatedly failed to lodge required audited financial statements with the regulator since 2022. [1, 2]
• Defrauding the Electoral Commission: In late 2021, the party’s national treasurer, Alexander Jones, was charged with fraud following a referral from the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ) over fraudulent documentation relating to election funding. Jones later pleaded guilty to attempted fraud in 2022. [1, 2, 3]
• Internal "Money Grab" Allegations: In August 2023, two of One Nation's New South Wales MPs quit the party after alleging under parliamentary privilege that officials improperly misappropriated and funneled state funds into federal coffers. [1]
• Undisclosed Plane Donations: The party was referred to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) following allegations that party officials hid the true ownership and donations of a light aircraft, and misused state taxpayer money. [1, 2]
• NRA Lobbying Scandal: An undercover investigation in 2019 captured senior party advisers seeking millions of dollars in campaign donations from the US National Rifle Association (NRA) in exchange for lobbying to weaken Australia's gun laws. [1, 2, 3]

And the shit throwing continues

The raving you go on with Brendan, wouldn't change any thinking persons Mind. Also do we have 2 Brendans.? If so that IS confusing.  Note.  Saying you are Raving when you say some things is NOT the same as the sort of thing being objected to lately. No one can make you say what you have  said but yourself. Ive Probably been the Most Picked upon person Here for quite a while, so I'm in a good Position to know what it's like. It's become worse than Pprune. We are Here to exchange Ideas, not have a Pissing contest.  I come on Line wondering what Crap will I have to Face this time?  How is THAT OK? Nev

I agree with  much of what Brendan has said,   The abuse of him is exceptional. Anyone reading back impartially through this thread would agree. I invite you all to do so and then think about it.

[onetrack]

No, I think Brendan has a major anger management problem, and he needs to address that, before he can hold a respectful and courteous discussion without ranting.

I don't have an opinion on what Brendan has said, but I agree fully with the rest of it. Name calling, playing the man instead of the topic and mudslinging are not the sole domain of new members. For anyone wanting to sugarcoat the behaviour of long term members, just read back through some of the threads.

He certainly hasn't received respectful and courteous replies to his posts, whether they are rants or not. If you did up an abuse balance sheet I don't think long term members score very well on the scale. What ever happened to sensible debate. If people don't think they are getting sensible debate from someone, why just post a reverse rant back. Fair enough if people want to go tit for tat like that, but don't pretend it's just one side doing it.

You talk a lot of shit, mate. Your right-wing parties are so useless they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery if they bought their own glasses.

onetrack, the last quote is not a totally over the top response, but I wouldn't put it in the respectful and courteous discussion category. When it comes to inappropriate speech on this forum, I'll be the first to put my hand up and admit to it. I've never pretended I don't. But I don't do it to other members because I don't like or agree with the content of their posts. The only time I ark up on someone is as a response to someone making unfounded and ludicrous attacks on me personally. And then I have to slap myself and remember the old Chinese saying that if you argue with a fool, there's two fools arguing.

 

I'm not having a go at anyone here for their personal viewpoints, just calling out the blatant double standards that seem to be the norm on this forum lately. I think everyone on both sides needs to take a chill pill.

Well, let's start searching through my posts to find those where I've made OFF comments about other posters. If there are any, they would be 100 times less than the abuse I've copped. The best I can remember, I've only suggested a member may be a Labor supporter.
