RE: Election Day
Permalink Closed

Sorry all, I seem to be the catalyst to the discord on this thread.  I just re read the thread.  I just would like to point out that if I ever I had the chance to run Australia it would be totally different, just like if you had the chance.  We, as individuals, will nevernono have the chance.

I am just happy to have a super scheme that is going to pay out, an affordable health fund, my health and the ability to take to the road when I need to.

As far as Revolution goes, the Beatles still do it well!

And to the politicians, may you grow wise and grow up.  It would be good to see a parliament full off adults in lieu of the churlish children we have seen in the last 30 or so years.

At least 'misogyny' should not occupy Parliament for the next 8 months. A monument to Tim for that accomplishment. That is not a political comment, just a sigh of relief from the rather poor acting.

I am sorry to say that I may have infused comment on this subject by responding to a post and talking about revolution.

But I do stand by my comments about Australia never being governed by a government unless it has faced a revolution!

It just galls me that what ever government is elected, I just cannot trust.

I would like to add that I really think that Australian Politics died with Whitlam, now days they are just so anal and false!

Peter49, why would "just like breastfeeding at poolside" get out of hand, I think its a great idea and would encourage me to go to the pool more often, there is nothing wrong with a mother feeding her child, IMHO. biggrinbiggrin

Breastfeeding should be allowed wherever a mother is wanting to feed her child and should not be frowned upon, and not forcing the mother to go into a toilet to do that, unless the mother wants to do that.

Hi all,
I have decided to close this thread as we have a policy not to allow political discussions on this forum. Experience has taught us that these kinds of topics can turn sour and lead to bad feelings.  I tend to let things go a little bit further in the ‘I digress’ section, but I think it’s clear that politics and religion are topics best avoided in all sections. Thanks for your understanding.
