Well, it's not a surprise to anyone with more than 1 brain cell.

My wife & I posted off our votes today. 33 spots on the Senate paper, both of us marked 1-33. I see that the LNP have done a preference swap deal with Pauline Hanson now - so just consider where your preferences are going! It's why I always mark every spot. I don't want the political parties to decide where my preference is going - I'll choose that myself, thanks very much.

Read about a Tesla salesman in NSW who put about 1m km on a Tesla in 8 or 10 years. Battery was still doing 80% I think.

Probably enough to carry him off. Seemed like a decent sort for a pope, especially in comparison to the previous couple.

I'll have to show our miniature Foxie, just in case he ever wondered what the vet did with his

That sounds a bit pun-itive.

Oh, I've no doubt that Mutton could get the tariffs dropped. In order to do so he would give away the farm.

Attitude matters, race doesn't - that's my philosophy anyway

ummm... where's your internal consistency? You call the major parties "socialist" and complain about people wanting "free money" from the government - women, according to you, being the worst... But then you want the "big beautiful consumer affairs department" and the "big beautiful medical intervention team", both of which would be the hugest waste of money in history.

I'd like his colonoscopy to follow Hancock's method in the movie "Hancock". With Vance (or Musk) being the person to get the close view.

This is probably the best opinion I've seen yet on why people vote for idiots like Trump. (Or Clive for that matter). https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/13/trump-populists-human-nature-economic-growth Basically it boils down to the ever-growing gap between the rich and poor, referenced in posts above. If you're disenfranchised and struggling to survive, and you see people around you doing a lot better, then you may just want to destroy the whole unfair system - and this is the feeling that right-wing populists latch onto. They're not ACTUALLY going to make your life any better, in fact they will likely make it a lot worse, but they'll also make other people's lives worse too. A type of self destructive desperation. So maybe we should be taxing the rich a LOT more. How can we do that? Start by getting the money out of politics so there's no incentive for parties to do special favours for them.

Who was throwing records at you? (Badly)

And he was the winner too! Imagine what losers the other 999 sperm were.

Can't you just call them "undies" like everyone else?
