Marty_d Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I think the big businessman idea only works if they're reasonably rational (like Turnbull) but don't have their nuts in the grasp of the looneys. Keep checking the US experiment to see how the totally irrational one goes, not looking good so far.
fly_tornado Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 US politics is full of ex-business people, it costs at least a million to run a senate or congress campaign
dutchroll Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I just had a look at the One Nation policy list. This is a party whose stated policies include holding two Royal Commissions (average cost to taxpayer $50 million each). One into Climate Science to determine whether the data is corrupted, even though numerous independent, non-Government inquiries overseas have firmly established that it is validated and uncorrupted from numerous sources. The other being a Royal Commission into Islam to determine whether or not it is a religion (that's what it says on their website). Yes, that's right. One Nation will spend $100 million of your money to determine a) What we already know with climate data (they're not even looking at the political question of climate action - just the data itself which has already been the subject of many inquiries). b) To figure out whether Islam is a religion (while they're at it, I don't like a lot of things the Jehovah's Witnesses believe, so let's spend $50 million to figure out whether they're one too!) This is a party which hasn't even really got going but has great plans to squander huge amounts of your taxpayer money. It amazes me what people will vote for when they're angry about something. I had a look at their other policies too and I'd be here all day if I were to poke holes in their arguments, some of which are just - to slip into my "liberal elitist" mode for a minute - pure dumbassery. However I simply don't have the time. And yeah it's not nice to assert that a political party which some people like has a number of completely "dumbass" policies, but it is what it is and I'm sick of tip-toeing around trying to be nice about emotive policies on very complex subjects which have had very little rational thought put into them.
Yenn Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Some of us are sick of pollies who can't make any decisions. Reminds me of the old remark " For Gods sake say something even if is only goodbye" That is about the standard of Aussie Pollies.
spacesailor Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 NAH ! The new standard for pollies is: Their mouth is open; they are lying. spacesailor
Bruce Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I hear what you say dutch, but what is the cost of keeping an immigrant and his family on benefits for the next 200 years? More than a million each I guess. And there are many thousands of them out there. And I reckon that Islam as practiced by some is more of a political and military organization than a religion. Wow how can you define these terms to separate them. Maybe 50 million to lots of wealthy law types is worth it for getting a legal definition. Mind you, I would run much cheaper royal commissions if I had my way. And could anybody please tell me more details about the one nation Jabiru? Wow an Australian political party flying around in an Australian plane? How can that be allowed?
spacesailor Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 BruceT Military religion! "Salvation Army" and the "Christian Crusades". Aren't they all the same !, from different view-points. (opponents perspective). spacesailor
Yenn Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I don't think the Salvo's are really an army. They could have got the name because of the good work they did looking after the troops in war time. Not much difference between the Christain Crusaders and the modern Muslim fighters.
Phil Perry Posted March 4, 2017 Author Posted March 4, 2017 European Islamic immigration. . . some thoughts by Pat Condell. . . .I dunno about this chap, is he a rabid racist ? ? seen a couple of his clips, seems a reasonably intelligent bloke, I've been to Sweden ( last Sept. ) and France for 3 days in January of this year . . .didn't see any violence in Sweden, but saw a large number of burnt out cars here and there, with enormous amounts of rubbish all over the streets. . .. I was advised by hotel staff to stay within the bulding and NOT, in any circumstances to walk around alone anywhere at night. but they wouldn't actually say WHY I shouldn't . . . . The French media ( apparently ) don't report much of it, unless they absolutely have to, and only when when it's been captured on too many personal social media platforms and it is then impossible to 'Contain' . . . youtube.com/watch?v=PbXZ6uWEsAQ …
Phil Perry Posted March 4, 2017 Author Posted March 4, 2017 Mme Marine Le Pen has had her EU 'Political Indemnity' removed by majority vote, so that the EU can prosecute her for 'Hate Crimes' since she sent pictures on her social media of a captured Jordanian Air Force pilot being burned alive in a cage by Islamic State numpties. In modern Europe, it is now a crime to spread true stories about what is happening elsewhere in the world Even if perfectly True. . . . that story was coverd by world MSM Media BTW, ( Including the ABBC ) and universally condemned. . .so where is the 'Hate Crime' in that ? ? ( answers on a postcard ) The EU are Desperate to keep a lid on this stuff in order to proceed unhindered with their expanding 'One World Government' bullcrap narrative apparently. . .but the Islamists refuse to behave themselves as they can't wait to take over the entire continent. . . Mrs Le Pen is odds on to win the forthcoming French Presidential elections on a 'Stuff the EU We are leaving it' platform . . .and is vehmently anti -Islamic immigration. She must be stopped. . . Burn the Witch. . . .

fly_tornado Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Phil, you'll never have equality under capitalism or the monarchy Phil. You'll always have to pay your dues to God's representatives on earth. that being said, PAT DOESN'T STRIKE ME AS THE SORT OF BLOKE THAT DOES A LOT FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF WOMEN
M61A1 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Phil, you'll never have equality under capitalism or the monarchy Or socialism....or any other Ism.
spacesailor Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Thanks "Wikipedia" "The Salvation Army is a Christian Protestant church and international charitable organization structured in a quasi-military fashion." founded by W Booth who became the first "General", consisting of soldiers, officers and adherents known as Salvationists. spacesailor
fly_tornado Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Or socialism....or any other Ism. 1/6th of the world's population living under FULL communism now and its creating as much wealth as the other 5/6ths combined. It shows now sign of collapsing unlike America. Did you know the median american individual wealth is less than the median korean individual wealth?
Bikky Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 "Do I hate the man for killing people? If he was — have you got the proof he did it?" Senator Hanson said. "Did he push the button? There is a lot of things here … We say these things. All I'm saying is — my comments were I respect the man." PMSL! I would like to see her as minister for education.
Marty_d Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 PMSL! I would like to see her as minister for education. ...in another country. Actually I'd just like to see her in another country full stop, at least that way we could laugh at them for being so silly as to elect her.

Bruce Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I reckon we have a right to be angry at the failure of the established parties to deliver decent outcomes. Here's a quick list: 1. Obscene salaries and perks for public "servants" including council ceo's. 2. insane levels of immigration 3.insane levels of expenditure on useless military hardware. 4. neglect of aborigines and jobless and schoolkids by ridiculous political correctness. I want the established order to be given a big kick up the b*m, and the Hanson lot seem to be my only chance to do this.
