And what makes it worse, is those on the far right with dreams of authoritarian rule in Australia and other countries are encouraged by what they see in the US.

Yep. A few hot, enthusiastic and very experienced lasses would be far better than 70 virgins. Mind you they must've been very naughty in life to end up with that duty.

I'd get a restraining order if I were you.

If the answer is Clive, I can't imagine the question.

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

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).

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

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.

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

Wouldn't her kids be scarier?

F****d it up again, more likely

The ancient Greeks invented everything, even sex. But it took the Italians to think of involving women.

Diesel was 1.10 where you are? It hasn't been much below 1.80 here for years.

I remember my Dad saying that if fuel ever got to 50c a litre, he'd sell the car and buy a horse. He didn't, of course, but shows what it used to cost. Mind you, I was probably about 10 then so that would be in 1982. House prices (and wages) were a lot less than 1/4 of today's, so fuel hasn't risen in price as much as other things.

Oh! And I thought he was talking about tyres. (I did cotton on eventually)

By that logic he should have stopped after the first time... He got a hole in one!

Joining a site like this is like joining any other group of people that have known each other a while. You've got existing cliques, well known stances on various issues, a bit of background on most people, and the occasional mad uncle (you know who you are). The point is, you show a bit of restraint and respect until you're established and part of the group. After 2 days, starting a post with "You're full of it." And ending with "...keep running off at the mouth with a half assed understanding" shows neither respect not restraint.

Yeah ... Predicting the death of a 96 year old. Amazing!

Hmm. Strong words from someone who's been on this site for 2 days. Without wanting to seem unwelcoming, Down East, what causes an American to join a site named Social Australia?

The USA is no longer a dependable ally. From threatening to take over Greenland (leaving Denmark in the unenviable position of having to prepare to defend their territory from both Russia and the US), to invading Venezuela after destroying boats and killing survivors without any sort of due process, to unilaterally attacking Iran, to incarcerating visitors even from traditional allied countries without cause. Jerry ask yourself - if Australia were attacked and made a request for US assistance, is it likely they would? My feeling is that unless there was profit for their god-king, the answer would be no.

Well they haven't said anything that isn't true. Unlike the prick in the pic

Hang on a minute. Since WW2 have the Yanks put boots on the ground on the request of any European country?
