Is our 2 party system just a con?

Function over form is a BMW.

 

On account of your bikes first policy...you may be considered.

I would mandate everyone has to learn to ride a proper motorcycle before they can touch a car. 

Even when I was on L plates, I believed that.

 

And that was so 'last century'.

 

And YES!

 

 

 

As long as you come home to Australia.

Unlike our politics , The function of a motorcycle is a simple action/reaction eqyation. An honest tangible benefitial response to every twist of the RH grip.

 pfft! This is the money pit. I have stopped counting how much I am putting into it as it will just depress me (and it has eaten into reserves already). 

 

Latest is on my return from Aus, I went straight to work .. partner calls in a panic - power put... Sparky called.. Whole basement had to be rewired... All work stopped for a week as power required for a lot of what was going on.. Thought it was going to be £7K, but "Happy" mates rates brought it down to £4k. 

 

Current builder spent 7 hours in last two weeks as he had a roofing issue at his own house. A decorator started today. This is the longest finals to landing I have ever been on.

Stop trying to make "Old Stuff" New again and Paying people to do it. You are at their Mercy.  Modern consumables have a finite life and lot's of it is not really meant to be repairable economically. Often more money is made by the sellers than the Manufacturer of the product...  Nev

Opening the throttle can cause all sorts of unpredictable things IF you don't know what you are doing. Best way to lean to ride is Off road and when you are young. 

 Anyhow is Our 2 party system just a Con. Well it's NOT a 2 Party system and whether YOU are conned is up to you.. Frazer said "Life wasn't meant to be  easy".  Nev

A big swing to One Nation in the WA Secret Harbour by-election. ON is on around 35% primary vote, Labour has a 22% swing away from them to give 25% primary vote. It will come down to preferences, currently TPP giving ON 53%, Labor 47%. It will be a bit hard to predict with WA having optional preferential voting.

[willedoo]

One Nation has claimed the seat, finished all the speeches and started the victory party, but Labor hasn't conceded defeat yet, saying it's too close to call. If confirmed, it will be the first seat ON has taken from Labor since the Queensland election in 1998.

[willedoo]

It's a big call for a party to claim victory when the vote count is still below 50%. What they're basing their confidence on is the fairly large pre-poll booth that's yet to be counted fully. Exit polling at the pre-poll booth showed ON getting a better result than what they received today, so they're assuming the booth will go their way.

Pretty good, hey!
