Yeah I’m worried about that Victoria election ngl. I expect One Nation to go for its Senate and I’m hoping this rumour that Labor is willing to sacrifice it to prove a point is bullshit.

    The fake parties that popped up the last couple of years in Victoria (supposedly no longer a problem), were an indication of where Auspol is heading. These parasites are too easily able to manipulate self interested people.

    one nation will probably be promising half price fuel, and alcohol next.

    Funny you should mention fuel. JBP used to have a fuel subsidy in Queensland. While Queenslanders were crossing the border to hit the pokies, New South Welshmen were crossing it to fill the tank

    Yeah wouldn’t surprise me to see it

    I'm just hoping that whatever is next, it is so completely absurd that even the dodgy media have to take the piss out of them.

    I have a sneaking suspicion we’re going through a boost in Green support as well, over the last couple of days.

    The NDIS and ASIO bills have pissed many off. They see who has turned up as well.

    Can only hope.

    The duopoly have been marketing against the greens since way back when Bob Brown popped onto the scene, so much so that most Australians who don't like the greens, do not even know why they don't like the greens.

    The movie 'The Giants' (2023) is well worth watching for those interested in the history of Australian politics.
