Like Zali Steggle, Jacquie Lambie ?
I'm not 100% sure yet.
But I am 100% sure that enough Australians will be stupid enough for vote one or another of the majors.
Of more importance will be the Senate and how people distribute their preferences. My hope is for a truly massive crossbench of classical liberals.
They are not classical liberals, so, no.Like Zali Steggle, Jacquie Lambie ?
No.Sounds like Margaret Thatcher would be your ideal, but it's just more policy by ideology, that's why we are in a mess in the first place.
IOW, short of reasonable regulation to support the proper heirarchy of 4liberty and free commerce, government staying the fark out of peoples lives.
Thailand is getting very snug. There's actually a bullet train that will go right through Thailand from China also LaosWho ?
Yep, agree there.That's fine when things are going well, but as soon as there is a downturn the voters (and business) screams out "why doesn't the government do something, that what we pay them for". (or something similar).

Indonesia originally burnt intruding Chinese fishing boats then reassessed as they trade a lot with china
Malaysia strong Chinese community.
Chinese tourism and trade is going to trump anything we do.
A big part is navigation. I don't trust China. No one does. But "Eye open" diplomacy is better then death by a million cuts.I agree with what you say but I also ask what of the people who have fled Hong Kong and moved elsewhere in Asia.
We also have a large number of students who have stayed here in OZ, I suggest that some of them would welcome the current Chinese Govt but I also think that many of Chinese descent would be extremely concerned should China gain more influence here.
Fair question from the reporter.It’s not the first time that 79-year old Biden has has been caught speaking his mind, nor will it likely be the last.
A very good point @wayneL. While age per se ( I likes me latin ) should not exclude one from leadership, cognitive status should be a de rigeur ( excusé moi ) consideration in fitness for office IF one is to lead a democratic government with an intrusive press.Fair question from the reporter.
Even fairer question is whether Biden's mind is still functional enough to be commander in chief?
Well there is the 25th amendment, or even probability of impeachment after the mid-terms.A very good point @wayneL. While age per se ( I likes me latin ) should not exclude one from leadership, cognitive status should be a de rigeur ( excusé moi ) consideration in fitness for office IF one is to lead a democratic government with an intrusive press.
The latter two matters imo are important, a democratic government and an intrusive press.
While Ole Joe is obviously impaired he may not be as far impaired as His Honour Justice M'Naughten would have considered exculpatory.
It may be better to decide this matter pre=election rather than when Vladimir Vladimirovitch has just had a r**t and is due for his next testerone injection while considering whether or not to invade that fair nation with a dubious history of tolerance, the Ukraine.
Ole Joe is obviously not fit for purpose to put it starkly.
Unfortunately in a democracy one has to wait for another election rather than removing him via a thug.
As for The Press. They are out of control. Then I haven't read a newspaper since page 3 girls were the first go to for such as I.

What was that about the 6 million of the holocaust that we always have to keep hearing about like it was the only murders of the war 2 and of history?IMO China is still pretty pissed off about the opium wars and still want revenge.
We forgive and forget (Japan, Germany etc)
They don't.
And we are just stupid enough to facilitate that by handing them economic and therefore, eventually, military hegomony on a silver platter.
In the political sense we deserve everything we get in that regard.
