Grumpy Old Nasho

I doubt it.

We've never had Rights, we've only ever had laws to govern our behaviour, and those laws are legislated by fellow human beings who are called "politicians", who react to other humans' complaints. Everyone has a complaint about something, and eventually we'll all be standing still in the one spot unable to move for fear of being charged for moving. We are our own worst enemy. Bring in programs to teach common sense. I once told a bloke not to chainsaw a tree down because it would hit power lines when it fell. He just said "Nahh". He cut the tree down and the next thing the power company truck was out fixing the downed power wires. He still didn't think he was an idiot, he thought he knew more than me, but it was plain to see the arc at which the tree would fall. To prevent that catastrophe, all he needed to do, was consult with me, because I was standing 90 degrees to the proposed travel of the tree and I judged it would hit the lines. He lacked common sense.

Australians don't have Rights, there is only laws that are supposed to protect us. Whenever people say: "You have the Right to do this", they really mean there is a law that gives us permission to do it ... and that law can be changed, unlike an inalienable Right, which can never be changed. PS, I thought that we always moved to the left in hard times. It's hard times now, and mostly Labor is winning power. They hand out more freebies than anyone else, but they can only do that if there's an adequate National income. When that is skint, the right-wing parties start to look good.

Lately, I'm seeing more and more private Australian flags flying out here in my district ... that can only mean one thing, a public display of support for One Nation, and BRS perhaps.

Whatever

I was a member of the Democrats, I didn't last long because I considered them not to be nationalistic enough. I continued watching out for a party that only had Australia in mind - enter One Nation - been a supporter ever since. The leader of the Democrats, Don Chipp, did get one thing right, he said there'll be no more world wars, just smaller localized wars. He also apologized for the 60s conscription, he was the only one brave and sensitive enough to do that, being an ex Liberal but still a bit of Liberal in him. I respected him for apologizing. Can't say the same for the rest of the political hoons in the major parties. I've never voted for any of that flotsam and jetsam.

Whinge whinge. LOL, do you blokes ever give up?

One Nation won ... good hey! The Greens came last, and Labor second last. Fancy those terrorist brides coming back so soon after Bondi ... you can't believe the hellish mistakes that are being made these days.

Yeah, Govts' blame an external "enemy", rather than themselves.

And for good reason ... to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons ... and the spread of international Islamic terrorism.

It's still crap, because ethnics are replacing Real Australians at a rapid rate in the big cities. Before mass immigration, Real Aussies were doing everything, including the Councils' collection of filled thunder box bins, a mate of mine used to do that. Now of course we have underground sewage pipes, but many outlying suburbs in the sixties still hadn't. There were some undignified menial jobs I did before I regained my confidence to re-enter my trade after being discharged from conscription. There was a recession and I had to take whatever I could get. Today, Sydney is becoming mostly an ethnic city, so it stands to reason that ethnics will be taking over doing menial work, it's obvious. There was also a news report years ago where an Aussie was sacked from his trolley collection job at a supermarket because ethnics were prepared to do the job cheaper, or some such thing. Ethnics now collect the trolleys.

Not implying that at all. But remittance can be from Govt handouts as well as from private earnings. Remittance doesn't benefit Australia, billions are lost forever. But Real Australians' wages and salaries does benefit OZ, it's not lost. And Real Australians do whatever work they need to do to earn a living. Your cliche about not wanting to work is crap.

New immigrants from "war torn" countries often go back and spend a holiday with relos. There's no money, that's why. The Govt spends it on terrorists' families.

So you agree that first past the post is ok? But would you still agree if the candidate who won was a One Nation candidate, you wouldn't condemn that candidate for winning in a first past the post competition.

"something better" means Govt handouts and the pension, and the means by which immigrants can send remittance back home. $5 billion sent home by Indians, $3.5 billion sent home by Chinese. Add the rest and it reached $25 billion (in 2024). And my village can't even get a dusty main dirt street sealed. Our Council simply hasn't got the money. A grant from the State Govt would only need to be about $2-3 million. The traffic is quite extensive because of a popular camping ground. The street is short but the dust from it gets in/on everything, in your lungs. Everything needs constant cleaning.
