Double Dissolution 2016

There was one bloke who was an opposition leader and he genuinely cared about people. He was universally respected by all sides of the argument. He was Ozzie to the core.....as I'm sure most politicians consider themselves now days, since we realised the Brits gave us the toss back in the seventies.

One?

I guess Lord Acton, or whoever, was right about politics being attractive to mediocre mind with psychotic tendencies on top of Daddy issues.

Kim Beazley sounds like an asthmatic nerd beaten up at school - so he would be a decent guy representing the people. Kinda like Theodore Roosevelt and FDR - both of whom might not understand much about struggles if it weren't for their childhood illness and disability (among other things).

To be fair to the rich and privileged kids, maybe they never realised how tough the others would have it. Kinda like me not knowing SirR doesn't have copper to download... documentaries

Seriously speaking, that scares the hell out of me.

I hate to think of the outcome on July2.

it's all going to be the same regardless of who wins.

France's "socialist" gov't is planning to cut welfare and unions rights and workers' rights - all so that it'll be easier for businesses to "create jobs" of course.

There's been daily protests past week or so... so bad that the riot police are also protesting for their rights. That's kinda funny.

Anyway, Shorten is real tough and serious about the weekend penalty rates staying where it is - but if it doesn't, then that's just some other people's ideas - not the elected gov't he'll lead.

It's a play by play of Clinton's and US Democrats outflanking the Liberal/Conservative agenda to capture those votes and bringing the "left" along without them realising it.

Bet you the next Labor leader or two will start beating Refugees like there's no tomorrow.
