Australian Politics, Mark II

2 new houses being built within 100 metres of me and one just finished, and another in the next street.

I haven’t seen much hostility between groups in Port Fairy, but then…maybe it’s a different sort of town. It could be much worse in Warrnambool. I hear there’s a bit of an ice problem there.

That’s a real shame.
My childhood summer holidays were at Surf Side 1.

Massive ice issue there AN, when i was at Anglicare we would got some horror stories from our branch there at the AGM

Had the QLD drought relief people shake a can at me this morning when i was picking up my morning coffee.

Felt so good to tell them to “■■■■ off, you made your bed on the weekend, now lie in it”

they said “where do you think your food comes from”

I said “thanks to LNP, China”

3 people on working the smoke counter at Woolies clapped

I guess it just seems a lot different to the era I grew up in where nearly all tradies at the time were staunch Labor voters. Can’t speak for other states but the industry can’t keep up with demands in SA. Most contractors have plenty if not too much work on the horizon

There being Warrnambool, I take it.

Bit of an issue rose a couple of weeks ago with a coroner’s inquest on a woman who was murdered by her ice addict live-in. Apparently an ambulance refused to take her back to hospital and she died of a ruptured spleen. In Port Fairy, that is.

yeah Warrnambool

That whole Western Region of Victoria (Warrnambool, Portland, Hamilton, Horsham, Ararat) have got massive issues with Ice… also Eastern SA, Mount Gambier.

Distribution through these areas makes it easily accessible.

Cringe.

Tanya was anointed by high profile ALP figures but now says its not her time.
A quick check on the factional numbers, or strategic delay ?

When tradies can earn $150K maybe more, do they need a union? No just an accountant to run their self managed super schemes, or advise them on their negatively geared property portfolios.

I think your response may well be replicated across the inner suburbs, I’ve heard a few people say the Qld and NSW farmers can get stuffed. Interesting times.

Chris Bowen said said not to worry about negative equity so no need to worry …oh hang on…
On a more serious note cheaper housing might be good for new home buyers but negative equity brings the LVR on your mortgage into play.
Funny how a year ago it was all about housing affordability and now it’s about negative equity. Another example of shortsightedness of our media and politicians.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I thought Pliberseck and Albanese were both from the left and Bowen from the right in NSW

I wanna play too.

Don’t like foreigners - well no more holidays to qld.

Don’t like socialism - ok let’s cut all the subsidies

Don’t like compassionate policies - ok lets stop all the drought/cyclone/flood relief.
