Victoria used to be the jewel in the Liberal crown, from Menzies onwards, but they have treated us like we are the arse.

Despite having the strongest growth they have cut back on our infrastructure funding. They spend all their time sucking up to Queensland and giving NSW volumes of cash.

Also we liked Turnbull and they boned him.

The state Libs couldn't get enough crazy right wingers so they got Mormons everywhere despite the fact they make up a tiny fraction of the population. They had a party hack beat two highly qualified women to take one seat. We finally got rid of that imbecile state leader Kroger.

We haven't got right wing shock jocks here or one party paper towns fed disinformation by Newscorp.
Some Libs actually said as they overthrew Turnbull that it was necessary to keep the Queensland seats and though it wouldn't go down well in Victoria the seats were all too safe to lose.

I hope they lose 4 seats in Melbourne so we can treated seriously again.

Victoria can never again be treated seriously. Giving Andrechev a second term means the rest of us want to expel you guys from the Federation and build a goddam wall. :p

Good prices, if you can get paid. :laugh:

Trivia, I am licenced to plate runners there, and did so in late 90's, early 00's.

Lucrative, but full on, especially now... might be getting a bit old to run a business, AND fight antifa. :cool:
 
Not a wall but Victorians already do their best to keep everyone else out.

Cross the border and you'll lots of signs all warning of fines for this, that and something else.

Go the other direction and Vic to SA there's just a "welcome to SA" sign and the speed limit goes up 10 km/h. :)

Indeed !! Totally get it Wayne

If the soulless, transgendered, Dementors get into power it's all over Red Rover.

Time to bring together the remnants of the real Blue Ties get on the Ark and sail to the US and form an International Brigade to fight for the preservation Christianity, White Rights and a Pure Nation under the
leadership of the Great Yellow Hope.

GO Wayne ! It will be a truly noble cause. There will be many people happy to support your good fight.:D

Meanwhile back in the land of Oz check out the series on the upcoming Premiership fight between the Blue Ties and the Labour Rats on Countdown to Glory Very, very good.

I still think Oz is saveable, well, apart from Victoria, so will hang on here for a bit, bas. We can cut our losses and get the Vics to pay for the wall.

Then at some stage we can invade... once all the men are on estrogen pills. :laugh:
 
Agreed Wayne, the Peoples Republic of Victoria...saveable?:rolleyes: Our Victorian friends are welcome to come up here and charge up their mobile phones, along with the Croweaters.

On another subject: Labor's Parent Visas unlimited:eek: Anyone who has been in or visited a hospital recently will know - what an obscenity is this proposed Labor policy.

The poor overrun public hospitals, they can't keep up as it is. Add in an unlimited influx of country-shopping oldies, to luxuriate on Medicare at taxpayers expense... Plus the inevitable Labor gouging on private health insurance premiums.

Equals: collapse of public health system. Anyone who thinks I'm exaggerating.. just wait and see. It's stretched tight as a drum.

Shorten's rape allegation resurfaces.

It's bouncing around FaceAche overnight and this morning, but interesting that it's not getting coverage on MSM.

My view is that people who raise false allegations in social media are the scum of the earth.
People who latch onto false allegations and recirculate them are equally culpable.
People who wonder why legitimate media do not recycle false claims seem to live in an alternative universe.

Victoria is leading Australia in a number of areas, in the current era. Clearly the most popular place to be, with consistent population growth. The biggest and best infrastructure projects which are ACTUALLY BEING BUILT, unlike anywhere else.

Budget in surplus, consistent jobs growth and a stable government. Very much unlike what is happening at a federal level.

The only people criticising are those who don't live here. Sky News after dark is not a great source of information, if you actually want to know what is happening on the ground here.

clearly my comments were tongue-in-cheek, and referencing cultural aspects rather than economic;)

But, according to the font of all knowledge, GSP per capita for 17-18 is behind even the basket case that is Queensland and substantively lower than Oz average.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Australian_states_and_territories_by_gross_state_product
 
Northern Territory highest GSP per capita but their Govt is worse than broke.

Huge potential for mineral export but no will to make it happen.

The alleged victim investigation was kept very quiet. There was no solid evidence. But she could be placed at the event. Shades of Kavanaugh except Shorten was actually there at the time.
She never got her me too moment.

If they argue truth then it would be investigated. Would be interesting as it was swept under the carpet.
 
Another great ! ad from your Honest Government Advertising Agency.
(It's certainly not a Labour front...)
