Grumpy Old Nasho

Pretty good, hey!

The rear tyre is made of worn out piston rings - very clever.

I'll ask AI how bad the ALP and the Coalition are first, before I vote for anyone.

Of course, you won't need AI if you are already a rusted-on party voter.

Use AI to decide who to vote for. My question: "Can I use AI to decide who to vote for in elections?" Answer from ChatGPT: "Yes. AI can be useful for informing your voting decision, but I’d treat it as a research assistant rather than letting it make the decision for you." The answer was a lot longer than this though.

I've thought about it many times. It's a bad practice because the overseas beneficiaries of the money inadvertently acquire a distorted sense of their own value and worth. They'll always expect a handout and think it's their human right, perhaps traveling for family reunions here in OZ. Or for trickle donations to foreign terrorist organizations. Australia is $2Trillion in debt at present (Fed and States), how are we going to pay that off? - that's another important question. We need to keep as much money here as possible to build the economy. Halving the amount of remittance sent overseas would be a good move. Govt's can put a lower cap on it. Hanson would, that's why she's there. The major parties won't, they're too internationalist, looking after everyone except Australia.

For every billion sent in the form of remittance, a billion less should be sent in the form of Foreign Aid.

That's a pretty gloomy message, what do you propose should be done about it? We can't stop the weather, or change it much, just cloud seed to make some rain, that's about all. If there are any clouds.

Commercial jets still use up oxygen and spew out pollution ... so Bowen and Albo are frauds.

Commercial jets ... do you know there's no less than two thousand in the air at any given time in the world, using up oxygen and spewing out pollution. Chris Bowen needs to realize that every time a plane full of immigrants lands in OZ, and every time Airbus Albo hops on a jet to go embrace his overseas socialist mates on "official" business.

Chewed houses have lower value. I bought some epoxy putty to cover the chewed areas. I know, that's why I'm complaining about them. They need a sizable cull.

My rates went up 30% this year, out here in the bush would you believe. Nearly a thousand dollars a year and we're still driving on dusty dirt roads in my village. And kangaroos are in plague proportions. Cockatoos gnaw the wooden parts of my house. I'm charged for sewage, but I don't have sewage - go figure. My land is zoned Commercial and Residential at the same time - go figure again.

The ALP and the Coalition have seen better days, they've been at it since 1901. It's time for a change. Voting on the issues would be more productive. Candidates would be voted in to form a committee to work on the issues that voters voted on and see as priorities. The Committee will be disallowed from changing those priorities. Directly work for the people in other words, and cut out all the political mud slinging and self interest.

SBS should be sued for their show "Go back to where you came from" ... they could have named it something else entirely. They inflamed the national debate, inciting and provoking racism for their own ends - stirring the pot, and knew they'd get away with it. Both the ABC and SBS need to be defunded until they come to their senses, then a stronger watchdog to keep them in check.

You'd be surprised how many people, including Aboriginals, who don't want so many Asians here. An Aboriginal I spoke to in the early eighties said he wanted neither Asians nor black Africans in Australia. People are voting like this now, and O.N. is benefiting.

Would an EV pull a heavy laden box trailer up hill do you think? Would there be enough torque from the electric motor?

Become an *Islamic* republic perhaps? Gotta watch these muslims, they'll do anything to further their cause for Allah. Mehreen Faruqi didn't think things through before she opened her gob. If she got all the things she wanted, expressed in her "school kid" statement, she'd still be living on "stolen" land ... so, would she go live somewhere else and leave the Aboriginals in peace? ... not likely, she'd probably pretend to be their saviour and advise them of the virtues of Islam. God willing.

He said he won't be a Dan Andrews or a Jacinta Allan ... Crikey, great endorsement for his own party. That won't go down well with far-left Albanese & Co

What sort of heater do you use, and how long can you run it for on a cold day?

Can you blokes afford your power bills, or do you sit in the dark well wrapped up in the Winter?

I'm still waiting for my $275 reduction in my power bill, how many years has it been now? When's Albo going to make good his promise?, or was it Abbott?, someone said it, rotten major party politicians.

What's wrong with that? Albanese should do the same and spend the savings on infrastructure here in rural and regional Australia.

Y'all missing the point. There's thousands of potential O.N. voters out here just waiting for their next chance to vote.

It's amazing, there's been no further power outages here since One Nation won that Fed seat a little while ago. I'm not even in that seat. Not only that, I've received a Notice of Disruption due to maintenance where as before there was no notices, power went off for 6 hours and that was it. The Independent here must be scared stiff of O.N.

My Dad had one also, it was his first rangefinder camera after trying to use an old clapped out bakelite camera that someone must have given him. He took lots of family photos with the Neoca during the 1950s. In his latter years he gave me all the negatives which I still have, stored safely. He developed them himself and they look pretty good. Unfortunately Dad's Neoca was stolen, so, for nostalgia, I bought one as part of my collection, and also as a bit of family memorabilia.
