Grumpy Old Nasho

It's a matter of purchase price versus damage. Paying all that money for an EV, only to have the battery fall out and catch fire after hitting a deep pot hole or smashing into a large roo, both of which there are plenty out here. No one cares, so I won't care about EVs. It's bad enough that my cheaper petrol car got damaged by a roo, but I could keep going. An EV would probably stop dead - it's not worth the risk.

They'd have to fix the pot holes and block the kangaroos out here before I'd even contemplate getting an electric car.

Trump hoping to complete southern border wall by 2029: Vance https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5180267-jd-vance-donald-trump-border-wall-2029/ Between the southern wall and the deportations, the United States will be made clean and healthy for future generations of US citizens.

Another policy for winning all the seats would be: A substantial partial refund of CTP insurance would be given to motorists who never make a claim during their whole motoring life and when they hand their license in, or it's taken away from them because of incapacity.

I could win all the seats in Parliament with just three main policies ... 1) A big beautiful medical Super Trouble Shooting team - powerful and nation wide, to stop all the nonsense in hospitals, etc. 2) The biggest and most powerful Consumer Complaints Commission you've ever seen - one phone call will fix your complaint in a day. 3) Establish a Truth Tribunal, to prosecute politicians caught lying and distorting the truth.

That's exactly what would happen. Remember Labor members split away from the ALP and formed the DLP. The current Liberal party just held a crisis meeting to placate the members who were against Net Zero. There's opposition in all parties, but mainly against certain policies that are controversial within the party. Kept quiet though, pretending the party is unified hee hee.

Albo said not long after the last election "Labor is the natural party in Parliament". What do you think of that?

Which ever party won all the seats, they would then naturally pass an "Enabling Act" bill and block any attempts to hold future elections.

I'm still wearing my old glasses after cataract surgery, the two don't go together. I've got to wait till Jan to get my second eye done and get new glasses for close up. At the moment it's a battle to see anything clearly, and the three weeks of eye drops hasn't ended yet for the first eye. When conscription finished on 1972, I took particular notice of the idiot politicians to see if they'd compensate Nashos in some way for our lost two years, and to admit conscription was wrong, also to apologize for threatening us with a two year jail sentence. If it was illegal for the man in the street to make threats, then it should have been illegal for politicians, even as a group, to make threats. Not one word was said, except I think Don Chipp apologized, but that was barely enough, and Chipp resigned from the Liberals, calling them BASTARDS - quite right too. During the "Dismissal", I knew then that the major parties were pretending that conscription never happened, and we'd never be compensated or apologized to. Any respect I had for "Government" disappeared overnight and I learned a big lesson, never trust major party politicians and governments, and take no notice of their lying rhetoric. I have certainly never voted for the mongrels, the thought of doing that makes me puke. The stupid antics they went on with, like kids fighting in the school yard. The Queen should have sacked the lot, but the trouble with women in high positions, they can't control men, they're not wired that way, pity.

The whole lot should have been sacked, Whitlam, Fraser, and the rest, Kerr along with them. All the Nathos should have taken over.

The major parties are on their way out. Their psyches are past their use-by date. As much as they try, they struggle to apply their old combative style of yesteryear, which is all they know. They've fallen into their own trap of rampant immigration and multiculturalism, as well as excessive socialist programs, lenient sentencing, rising power costs when we were promised much lower costs, and impossible home ownership - good luck in the future.

Typical of a major party politician.

Are roundabouts history repeating?

Of course it was. If Dudd had any sense at all, he would have abstained from attending the meeting. He must have been sitting there the whole time hoping like hell nothing would be said. The idiot got what he deserved, a rev from Trump face to face. Who's the village idiot now? Rudd the Dudd.

Albo laughed at Dudd's expense. Trump was on top the whole time.

How Trump dealt with Rudd the Dudd was classic stuff. "I don't like you either" - LOL

Crikey you blokes are whingers, how many of you are members of the ALP?

Trump is good, Hitler was bad. No confusion at all.

So did Hitler, and they both slaughtered anyone they didn't like or who got in their way. Generally, when we think about history repeating itself, we think about the worst things, not the good things.

His actions are more like Andrew Jackson's, a controversial president from the past. Hitler was more like Genghis Khan

It can't predict natural geological disasters, only human disasters.

Another name for that is "Feast & Famine Variable". It's much better than guessing. I discovered it in 1979, It's like cracking the Enigma code, but no where near as complex. The F&F Variable predicts disasters before they happen, provided the disasters have occurred before, for which they then become "precedents" for future reading of the predictions given up by the Variable's plot line, and information accompanying it.

Trump is now Albo's hero.

Albo and Kevin would disagree with you.

It'll be good if he gets a third term, so he can keep restoring the United States to make it great again without the extreme influence of the far-left and the likes of George Soros.
