Clive Palmer said now l know he did a lot of rambling but that Libs and Lab both used pretty well the same model . Well, to me there's always been differences but sometimes l also see he was right on much of it too. Which doesn't give us much to choose from bc to me especially with this last stretch of of Albo, they both fk the place just in slightly different ways. Gotta wonder what'll become of Hanson next one the way they're going but we def' need a 3rd party .

Midnight Oil , how could l have forgotten them. Stevie Wright - Eve , if l spelt that right. Growing up there was some incredible stuff out there in Aussie music , such a shame it's all forgotten. Can't believe it sometimes. Later on the Cruel Sea, so many more. l dunno wth was happening in the world music wise say through the 70s. UK going off with led Zeplin , Sabbath, think Bowie was starting out through that period, not sure where the Beatles were in that think they came earlier but l mean what a decade or two. But l reckon some of the best Aussie stuff and bands were around growing up too that you never hear of these days sadly. l wonder if there'll even be another decade in music like that.

I think that is indicative of the "young bulls" taking the place of the "old bulls". That age group, and I think you should also include those up to 35 years of age, represent generation who are the product of their parents. Whereas a lot of us oldies followed the political beliefs of our parents because we grew up in possible more stable political times, those up to the age of 35 grew up in the Information age and have had access to more political influences than we oldies ever did. But when was the last time you managed to have a "deep and meaningful" with a person under 35 years of age to find out what they and their friends are thinking? Perhaps Jerry, with his daughter just starting Uni, is the only one in our group who might have that opportunity.

Like - just do this one simple thing every night. And then add whatever, grow your hair back, cure your diabetes, shrink your prostate, grow a big woody, the list is never ending on the marketplace ads.

Like the facebook link that goes to a fake ABC Insiders site. It shows the ABC on Pauline's side well and truly. We'll see aliens land before that ever happens. It was designed to fleece money from suckers in a crypto scam. It's unbelievable how suckerbook marketplace turns a total blind eye to fraud. Almost all the sponsored ads on it are scammers.

There's a lot of disinformation involving Pauline, a lot of it with AI altered photos or cut/paste, all of it showing her in a good light and Labor losing arguments with her. ABC Verify have traced it to some people in Vietnam. I reckon that meme above is one of them. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-11/foreign-fake-news-pauline-hanson-one-nation/106436702

Ayatollah Jr. has been officially anointed.

I wonder if whoever made that meme realises we don't vote for a prime minister. They're appointed by the party/parties than can cobble together a majory and convince the GG they can form government.

Different pollsters ask slightly different questions, but a lot of them lately seem to be polling primary intentions and not preference direction. Gender and age group is usually asked for analysis. A lot of it is probably swayed by immediate events. For example, in the latest morgan poll, the Greens have picked up 3% and Labor is down 4. Morgans think that 3% Green gain at Labor's expense is because of Albo and Co. going all the way with DJT and the Greens taking a stance against the US/Israel strikes. Some of the analysis is interesting. There's been a trend for a while now of the youngest age group, 18-24, moving more to the right. The Greens and Labor have lost support in that group to One Nation, independants and others, but the Greens have gained in all groups 25+, whereas Labor has lost in all age groups and both genders. One Nation gained support in all age groups under 65. Some polls a couple of weeks ago showed ON gaining among young women more than young men. A bit of a reverse from it's historical male dominated support. I think One Nation is the wild card, and come next election, they will have either fallen on their face or put egg on a lot of other faces. The Greens are what they are. What you see is what you'll always get, 10 to 12%. If Labor stuffs up enough, the Greens might get 15% briefly but they just don't appeal to enough of the population to acheive anything higher than balance of power in the Senate. Nev, you're right about the Nats/Libs being in big trouble. At the moment they are well and truly wedged. All Labor has to do is sit tight and win. Of the small amount of Labor primary votes bleeding to the Greens, most would return in preferences. Labor would feel a lot more comfortable having the Greens on the left than the Coalition would feel having One Nation on the right. It's like the Coalition has driven their Ford Ranger into a parking space designed for little noddy cars, and now they're stuck and can't get out. Go to the right, they lose the centre, go to the left and they lose the right. Interesting that the Nats have elected a Victorian moderate as deputy. More than likely for balance. Matt Canavan can talk the talk to try to woo voters back from One Nation, and Chester can try to butter up the Libs. Smoke and mirrors.

I'm really surprised How many APPEAR to be supporting her but I don't know HOW the Question is PUT in the surveys. Does anyone here know? We NOW don't have a 2 Party system but it's what it is and not a con. Nats/ Libs are in BIG trouble . They have no idea where to go. and the Ghosts of Howard. Abbott, Morrisson and Dutton haunt them. Nev

What we need is a party that's SLIGHTLY right of centre and a party that's SLIGHTLY left of centre. Unfortunately we have 4 parties right of centre, one by a little (Labor) and 3 by a lot (Libs, Nats, PHONey). The only party still left of centre are the Greens, with some sensible independents. Listening to David Shoebridge from the Greens this morning, you could be forgiven for thinking it was someone from Labor (about 10 years back).

I don't think dear leader/comrade Albo has anything to fear from her. Labor's a shoe-in for a third term the way it's looking.

Perilous Pauline is a Magnet for Misfits and Malcontents. How will they ALL get on together?. Being promoted by Murdoch should. by rights. be their Kiss of death. Nev

There must be something in the water in South Australia. Not only is Cory Bernardi running for PHONey, the Libs have preselected some religious nutter who also holds insane views. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-07/cory-bernardi-stands-by-bestiality-claim-ahead-of-sa-election/106423186 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-11/wright-liberal-candidate-social-media-comments/106423750

There's nothing Classy about our "Uncouth Barbarian", Glorious Emperor.. Nev

He must spend ages Making himself look as a Tradie. He's ALL for COAL. Nev

I don't think Canavan has ever made a statement that I agree with. Watch the Nats slide even further to the insane right, if that's even possible.

OH MY GOD !!! Clive is planning on making a comeback with Trumpet of Patriots, challenging for Sussan Ley's old seat. He says politics needs a shake-up. Matt Canavan has been elected Nationals leader to replace Littleproud.

You know you are getting old when your kids start talking about choosing an old folk's home..... for themselves.

What trumpy did now? Displayed his high standards of staff selection. President Donald Trump quietly appointed Erika Kirk to the Air Force Academy board, prompting swift outrage and mockery from both sides of the political aisle.

Some of them might be in an old people's Home. Nev

It is hard when 49.9% of the population doesn't like your mob.

Dubya partied when Rump was elected, because he was no longer the worst president.

Wouldn't her kids be scarier?
