Labor wins S.A. election

No, we don't need massive change.

Massive change is disruptive and hurts many people. Unintended consequences are greater in size and impact.

Australia is a well functioning democracy. Are there things we can improve? Definitely. Are massive changes required? No.

Yes One Nation just did OK, quite encouraging. We should urge them on to bring about a bright future for all Australians in all States.

One Nation would be a disaster for Australia’s interests. There would be no bright future from a right wing populist party with Pauline in charge.

I'd really like to see what this great Australian Plan is, that One Nation has for ALL Australians in ALL States. I suspect there's no plan, except to blame immigrants for every problem that arises.

 

Pauline Hanson is a Female Donald Trump. Says what people want to hear, but has no long-term plans, indulges in "stunts" to keep her name in the media, and picks people for her party members who have zero leadership skills, they only need to support a radical right wing agenda that focuses solely on, "too many immigrants from s***hole countries".

 

I like going through the long list of deadbeat One Nation picks for representatives, who have turned out to be criminals, total rabbits, incompetent, geriatric, or who changed sides as soon as they were elected. And none of them, were immigrants from "s***hole countries".

5 undeclared gifted flights in 6 months.

If this were a member of Labor or the LNP you could hear the usual suspects frothing about the "corrupt major parties".

Yep she's just an honest Aussie battler, isn't she!

She is in the enviable position, to paraphrase el Chumpo, she could walk down Ann street in Brissie and shoot someone and no one would care. There is so much disenchantment with the poltical establishment, that a vagabond to that establishment has got sort of Ned Kelly status. As the article says, you can't attack PHON at the moment. Well, you can, but you do so at your political peril. 

 

It's the same here with Farage and BoJo when he was in power. If it were up to the people, BoJo woudl still be PM. This larrakin like approach to politics is winning over the disenfranchised, and like a lot of people who's values/agenda are corrected by fact, they tend to ignore the fact, or interpret it in a way that confirms their bias. 

 

The rebellion is starting, I guess.

People look for an easy answer and don't Look or Think very Hard . What are HER Policies? She's Never been Interviewed at depth or addressed the Press Council in 30 years Murdoch Press is in Love with her. People should question why that is. One reason is she will abolish SBS and the ABC and no doubt anything else Rupee desires.  Nev
