Lol. Not sure asio are monitoring bike nerds... Who knows what goes on at that level, I sure as shit don’t.

I still reckon Clive would have been pissed off if he actually got a seat and had to turn up to work in Canberra!

Hence the bullshit narrative that is Straya politics:

www.theguardian.com

The big tune-out: few Australians follow politics closely, Guardian Essential poll shows

Just 15% of voters are watching events in Canberra intently – and 15% have no interest at all
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

“... The cohort most tuned in are men, people aged over 55, and Coalition voters....”

Bullshit narrative = disillusion = apathy = more bullshit narrative.

The world is fucked.

Speaking of bullshit narratives, don’t read the comments on the sky news YouTube videos...
 
Just reading the news about our economic position being the worst since the GFC.

Given the current state of our economy and pretty much everything else, exactly how the hell does anyone, who did, justify voting for the liberals last election.

"well things would be worse if we had labor", really, you really honestly think that. Exactly how could things be much worse than where we're at now in terms of unemployment, economy, immigration, environment, housing etc etc.
 
It's a good time for massive infrastructure overhauls...maybe energy related. But we need to maintain the surplus and what party could weather the storm of lay-offs that would arise as certain outdated industries close down?

I'm not sure either party has what it takes to get us out of this slump. Both will use the tried and tested boost population to keep her ticking over whilst padding the pockets of whomever their respective support bases are.
 
The consumer is not in position to lead the economy out of this, which is what the current model relies on. It is probably time for a completely new way of doing economics. I don't have any idea what that is but it will be different to current t models.
 
Placing people in high household debt makes them work more hours, harder and at a cheaper rate. We're going back to pre 80's except now the price of living has sky rocketed.
