Grumpy Old Nasho

The final fine notices I get for not voting don't have written on them what they're for. I have asked ladies at Service NSW, and they don't know either, they only know I have to pay a fine. I pay them, guessing they're for failing to vote.

What you failed to mention is that they can also put your house up for sale to recoup money owed. When One Nation gets in, they'll put a stop to that rotten tyrannical legislation.

I've been saying for years that we have a tyrannical ruling political elite (the two major parties).

That's a bit old. One Nation has 4 seats. It should be more because so far they have 22% of the vote. Labor has 33 seats with only 37% of the vote. The Liberals have 6 seats with 19%

I said "Lefty" progressive mindset. Ordinary progress need not have any politics behind it, and shouldn't. Governments should only debate whether there is enough funding for new infrastructure and who needs it urgently, not whether it's good for their particular section of the community. That's the problem with fighting factions, each faction favors itself.

How's that policy going, any reduction in youth crime yet?

The Qld Premier has that policy of reducing youth crime ...who wouldn't vote for premier like that? Unfortunately NSW has no such premier.

Please explain? I make my own happiness, my own luck, and excitement ... and to do that, I had to adopt One Nation's policy mindset after bitter experiences living in multicultural Sydney. It's a long story, but Sydney is not the place for me anymore. It used to be before 1980 but things have got so far out of hand there since then, one wonders what's going to become of it. Thankfully, there are locations in Australia that will hopefully never be touched by terrorism and government sponsored antagonism of Aussie Anglos, and I think I'm living in one of those places now, out here in the bush, living among my fellow traditional Aussies. If I was supposed to engage in "white flight", then I was more than happy to do that.

Late post, Internet connection dropped out after I composed this the other day. It got saved waiting for me to hit the "Submit Reply" button. Connection is all good now so hitting the button. I started planning for those contingencies years ago. Bitter experiences in the past taught me not to take anything for granted, so I don't.

ON is minor party status now, soon they'll be major party status.

SBS would certainly be criticized and something done about them, but the ABC will be left intact and asked to drop their lefty progressive mindset.

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.

Just the same, we need massive change. The major parties have ignored the disenfranchised for far too long and now it's catching up with them. They've also swapped Australianism for Internationalism, and now they're paying for that too.

If One Nation ends up with 22% of the vote, they should be entitled to 22% of the seats.

Local Councils have have most of the say, and small communities within the Councils areas of control have to beg for crumbs. Presently, Local Councils are skint and can't provide much more than basic services within their tight budgets. Candidates running for Council say "Vote for me, Vote for me", then when elected, they're never seen again, let alone be seen to be doing anything for the small communities. They just become faceless creatures trying to hide the promises they made. Our Community Committee, which has a determined President and Secretary, stick it up the Council and get them to get off their asses, so to speak, and get answers in fairly quick time, and get changes made that are sensible and viable. If it was left up to the Council, we'd only get what it wants to do, which would be very inefficient and create resentment among the locals. There have been decisions made by Council for our small community that have been absolutely absurd. Enter our President and Secretary to get the Council to see the error of their ways and change things so they make sense. Local Committees with nothing to lose, can be quite powerful. We need more of them, even large ones to keep governments in line, as well as Local Councils.
