Your right ISRAEL didn't exist BUT it was the Jewish peoples homeland they were ther before Palestine was for thousands of years , they deserve to be left in peace and the arabs(Palestinians ) should go to another arab country ,but wait they don't get on that well with each other do they and the (mostly) other arab countries wont let them settle there

When the pla(a known terrorist organization )stops indiscriminte bombing of Israel there will be consequences for the Palestinian people stop the backing of pla Israel also have a right to live peacfully and we all know that the arab nations want Israel destroyed/annihilation has anyone here been in Israel when the rockets are landing its very scary (i was there a few years ago when this happened) it claims the lives of innocents,also what about the times when the arabs capture a Israeli they torture maim and then drag the body through the street's the arabs are dangerous fanatics abd that sort of behavior warrents swift and retaliatory action

I support the Israelis

Bloody hell that's better looking food than in our markets, they are living the good life and all because the Israelis block everything that they do

Lets all try and live without it money tgat is

I paid all the legal tax requirements on the money I earned and should not pay any more on the cash that I live on, if I buy stuff I pay tax user pays ,I no longer earn income , the cash I get is for my retirement(been retired 8 years now 71) have paid more than my share

Yes super is good for people on fixed incomes and medicare has been a benefit for all people, volunteering I see the waste given to the so called socio economic l welfare recipients, mums and dads who cry poor but spend loads of your tax money(I no longer pay taxes on income)tattoos, grog, cigarettes, yet their children come to school and we then provide breakfast because they do not get it at home , no I do not want to contribute to those people and yes I did contribute taxes that went to our aged pensioners and social welfare is good but sometimes we have to say enough is enough and people should be made to take ownership of their own destiny

I don't own shares so don't get franking credits, my money was accrued other ways, not through fiddling, I agree with you on the franking credits, just so you know My money was earned fair and square and no I will not share it with lesser people who don't think ahead, 51 years in Aus and I have seen what labour did financially in the time they were in office , labor themselves have served the top end of town and their rich friends as well as Libs but personally I have always done well under Libs not labor

Octave,far from it i am living the dream,building an aircraft,volenteer in a school for underprivileged kids,look after and adore my 4 1/2year old grandaughter 2 days and drive for old folks bus 1 morning si not angry at all

And all the labor pundits on this forum are hiding ,got nothing to say?How humiliating for all you labor votors who said the libs were finished

All the pundits were wrong wrong again ,shorten is on the way out mr has been man, hopfully the labor lefties will be put out in the political wasteland for years, now I will as a retiree know that MY money that I Earned is safe from the pilfering lefties

my super had nothing to do with him or his policies,mine came from hard work and being a little shrewd, 51 years in this great country and every time labor got power I lost out and had to work harder ,hawke a statesman,never! condolences to his family on passing if bill gets in we will have a definite downside

His heart in the right place, he fleeced millions off ordinary wage earners who seem to think his message was the only oneirs almost like a religion to some. Ocrave wgere did i deny NASA on its findings i read as much of climate deniers as well as the"facts" yes there has been to much pollution since the start of the industrial revolution but please do not skip over the main problem To Many people in this world and australia cannot afford to have many more

So you don't mind paying a failed pollitician obscene amounts of money to relay a message to the masses do you think he isnt a big polluter ,private jets ,huge house with a big carbon footprint big gas guzzling cars he has played everyone for fools to make himself richer, and no i am not a climate denier just read more than than doomsday report's

AL GORE politician turned save the planet guru made millions out of gullible people who listened to his rubbish 10 years or more ago, it was so dire then but here we are all these years later and the world still keeps turning,oceans have not flooded low lying areas, ozone layer still there ,the world still doesn't get it the biggest threat is PEOPLE to many of us mostly in third world countries who still dump their rubbish in the streets and sxxt and pxxs in them and we in the west according to the leftards are the problem, my kids,my grandchildren and their kids will still be using oil in the future

You don't think we have been scammed? who was that ex vice president of usa who went around the world goofing off about climate change AL GOre who made millions from naïve people ,come on it is making some people very rich and who pays in the end Us the poor buggers who have no real say in it

Most 3rd world countries cannot afford"renewables" and as for electric cars they will never have one , most cannot afford a petrol or diesil car, and they will still depend on coal fired generation, so who will bear the brunt of the changes,oh wait a minute that will be US in the richer countries, so that will mean we as older Aussies will get poorer , I for one am glad that I will be gone long before this all comes to fruition, and no I am not a naysayer, facts are the western counties will PAY the most( go on say its all our own fault)

Insurance companies = parasites

If Labor wins the election there is seriously something wrong with peoples thinking

OME ,and you survived that

16x1200x1800 panels run aircon 10 hrs day plus fridge plus water cooler plus computer and last year paid no bills and ended up with 1500 bucks thinking of adding 4 more panels now that I have upgrade my inverter(las one 4.2klw died new one 5.2 and it was still under warranty

Not prejudiced at all, saying as a fact 50 years ago they(gays,lesbians,trans or whatever )did not last ,they were ridiculed and usually left after being subjected to harassment or the "above my pay scale" officers soon found ways to get them out,medical,trumped up charges etc etc, never encountered a gay person then so only hearsay,and don't forget it was at that time a criminal offence to engage in homosexual acts in UK, times have changed all for the good in most cases , I have no real feelings about lgbti people, they don't impact on my life and my argument was about the Brit and Us army and as trey gowdy is right, armed forces are there to wage war, would you like to see your daughter at the blunt end in a war,I would not like to see mine there ,women have the right to serve as does anyone if they have the right stuff, look at the Kurd women fighters they had a very real reason for fighting and by accounts they are good soldiers ,we in the west are not of the same mettle

My comments were for Marty

I am talking 1966 uk and as i get older and hopfully wiser i have no problem with gender i was just reflecting my time in brit forces (army squadie)

You have obviously never been in the armed forces, so your comments are way off, Trey Gowdy is spot on about the way the forces select people to serve(except in a ww11 scenario)and if his conservative views are narrow that's his right, from my observations of Australian selection they do admit people of both genders(woman/man)and seem to on the surface accept gay/lesbian recruits ,however they would probably be targeted/ridiculed/ by the forces in general,it has got better for those people but in my time if they were found out they did not stay in for long,there are ways to get them out ,they would have been targeted
