He told me.
how does he define foreign?
Well of course.
They are the second most powerful union in the country.

There would be a riot if the Government helped fund university beds for international students when the local feeling would be lets build social housing for Aussies. I maintain that if housing is an issue for international students then the numbers will drop.

Exactly. You have these overseas student paying massive fees to study at university. Itâs common sense to encourage them to stay in Australia to work and pay more taxes.
Wow! What a xenophobic question. Do you think the aforementioned doctor would apply if they could not pass an English proficiency test?

Election nights just wonât be the same without him.

A sad day, love listening to him.
If Green doesnât call an election can it ever be called?

He hardly gets it wrong, and he must have some incredible connections for all the detail he gives. I remember in 1993 when he called the Federal Election early and the Liberals on ABC were just shocked as they expected Hewson to beat Keating. At our election night party, we were pretty shocked as well.
Yes they are. They are going to lose potentially by a lot.
Albo who I think is a super intelligent politician is not a convincing leader. Heâs a very capable fence sitter and reader of the room.
That being said the LNP in their current form are rubbish - I donât think a lot of traditional conservative voters have a lot of confidence in them either.
So we could see Albo as a one term PM but then straight away the same for Dutton.
Both sides need an injection of fresh talent at the top. The Libs probably right through a potential front bench/cabinet. So Iâm hoping if Dutton does win thereâs some fresh political talent that arrives in some marginal seats that flip.
Albanese performed far better on QandA in responding to Qs by the public, compared to responses to journos at pressers.

I left very unimpressed by his performance. Iâm a swinging voter.
Mind you I think less, way less of Peter Dutton.
Labor will likely have less seats than the coalition.
But the Coalition wonât have enough seats to claim victory.
It definitely wonât be a landslide win. The elected independents are the people who will decide the Government.
You canât claim victory when youâve won 35% of the votes.
Maybe. Those independents need to stand and be of a good calibre themselves I think. Its not easy winning a lower house seat as an Indie.
I live in a marginal Labor seat federally, lib seat state level.
The Labor candidate is lovely. I think she might win again. If thereâs a bit of discontent around all the âpartiesâ there might be more of a vote for quality candidates.
Donât know who will be running for the Libs.
Unlike the older generation of swing votersâŚ. Who flip flop between Labor and Liberal.
That is not the voting habits of young people.
Young people are not shifting their vote from Labor to Liberal to LaborâŚâŚ they are moving to Independents.
Young people are disillusioned by the major parties. They simply are not voting for them.

Iâm by no means a young person, but for the first time in my life Iâll be voting for the independent in my electorate this time around.
