Grumpy Old Nasho

It's a topic for a new thread. What you've just posted is only half of the more recent history of Rural Australia. The other half is much more disturbing and treacherous to Australia.

Well why did you pick on One Nation then? Besides, they've been under scrutiny heaps of times because their politics differs from the Liberal's, and from Labor's.

Courtesy of Lab/Lib governments who set aside billions for the major cities, and none for Rural Australia. Except if they're chasing a criminal, and that's about it.

Huh?

Great news indeed. The Liberal party has a soul destroying curse on them and it won't be lifted till they apologize to the 60's conscripts and families of deceased conscripts.

If you think you are safe in Australia, watch these progressive mental health major party voter events. Owners' dash cams. There's hundred of raw videos like this one.

The National Party got only about 1,700 votes lol Pleases me no end to see that.

Voting is compulsory, so the onus is on Electoral Commissions to make voting easy for citizens.

Mobile polling booths - what's wrong with those? That's what we need out here.

Great news, hey!

There's three types of voters in the bush, the rusted-on ones who have favorite parties and would travel to the Moon to vote for them. Then there's ones who think two party democracy is better than the old Soviet Union and would travel the same distance to vote. And the ones that want to avoid paying the fine because they believe they'll end up in jail if they don't vote. I'm the odd one out, I won't travel any more than the specified distance of 8km. The nearest polling booth is 37km away. Some other reluctant voters are so scared of the AEC, they meekly spend a total half day going to vote, and there's not even as much as a sausage sizzle at the polling booth when they get there. Now, as well as that, the voters get nothing for their effort, nothing is done out here in the bush, it's dying, vegetation and wild critters are taking over. I can never understand why anyone would want to vote when they get nothing in return. The big cities get it all, that's where the money is spent, where all the immigrants are. If you're a traditional Anglo Aussie in the bush, you'll get nothing, it's not fashionable to spend money on us. It's a racial thing. Traditional Aussies are looked down upon, don't let anyone tell you different. Same in the UK, they're having a terrible time, they can blame Tony Blair for that. Here in Australia, we can blame Whitlam, Grassby, and a host of other Labor prime ministers and ministers. Some Liberal idiots included in that as well, Fraser for example. I pay the fail-to-vote fine because it's convenient, on the computer, and I'm not really supporting the "enemy" AEC because one day they are going to have to wake up and apply their legal requirements sensibly. There's so many anomalies that if voters banded together and complained in unison, the AEC would have no alternative but to fix then all. On of those anomalies is the long distance to the nearest PO mail box, for a postal vote if your mailman can't or won't take your voting documents back to the Post Office for you. The nearest PO mailing may be, and often is, a very long way away, requiring a tiring trip in the car.

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.
