Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Election 2025 (Poll added)
Clive Palmer....how can this clown be allowed to run a political party and flood our TVs with his advertising thats just a collection of simplistic popularist unrealistic policies? Then you look at his involvement with this airstrip he condemns in his advertising that is meant to be the gateway for China to invade and then you find out the structure of companies involved and how it came about and how Palmer is profiting from it. Its hilarious really that he even has the gonads to produce the rubbish advertising that he does every election and its hard to take Aus politics seriously anymore, there is no one fit to run the country unfortunately.
If we had a sacked, cracked and backed list for politicians the sacked column would be full...

Land tax in Queensland is based on the total value of Australian land owned by a taxpayer.

Good country this. A friend of mine from England originally but living here gets stung over there for tax on a property he owns here.
Agree ...times are tough and everyone including all levels of government are trying to hit you up for extra money and in the most ludicrous of ways. You can plant some vegies, get some sheep on your land so you can call yourself a primary producer or start a cult, build a chapel then register yourself as a charity to get an exemption...😉

My bought a property in Port Douglas, he reckons the Qld government collects land tax for that property plus tax on any  other property you may have in Victoria. He owns a few rentals here so he will be up for a bundle.
Qld gov collects land tax on Victorian property…? 🤔

Zelensky wont play ball by allowing Putin to keep Crimea or anything else they have stolen and Trump and crew have spat the dummy and want to pull out of any diplomatic solutions and leave Ukraine to suffer.
Disgraceful from the USA imo and probably a guide to our future defense plans where we need to consider who we can trust and rely on. Is AUKUS really worth it or would we be better stocking up on missiles and drones and finding some new defense partners?

They should put his statue outside Port Philip prison he is the most corrupt state premier ever with zero accountability.
He makes Trump look respectable...

A bit harsh EB, do you think he was corrupt or just liked to dictate and rule his way? From a leadership perspective I see similarities between him and Kennett.
GTC I see him as corrupt, doesnt have any memory on missing money or who signed for what, happy to throw his own ministers under the bus to save his own hide and you have respected identities like ex Police chief Kel Glare calling the Andrews Govt the most corrupt he has seen in his lifetime. How many investigations did the Anti-corruption Commission have into the Andrews government four or five?
He was a great Dictator/Politician for sure and wrote the playbook for how to survive as a corrupt leader mainly thanks to such an inept Opposition but he has totally fecked Victoria and got away with it and to see him feted as some CoVid hero makes me want to vomit...

Many here never miss a anything negative about Mr Trump yet are very quiet on our ex Dictator lying premier. Hmm. Funny that

At the last count, American taxpayers have shelled out $38M for the POTUS to play golf on his own golf courses since January.  The Muskrat should get onto that as an opportunity to cut government waste and corruption.
Looks like he will be devoting all his time trying to breathe life back into Tesla so his DOGE days are coming to end which should cut government waste and corruption when he leaves not to mention improve efficiency.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2025 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong at the MCG
Cats will be down a couple of handy players with Miers and maybe Atkins out which will help us and are due for a loss, that was a tough game vs the Hawks and they will be sore. Same old problem though is who can stop Cameron or at least restrict him to a minimal contribution, do that and we can win. Its about taking your opportunities when other teams are at their weakest and taking advantage of their injuries, playing in tough big games etc and as good as Geelong are you cant win every game and we should be cherry ripe after a couple of games where we didnt have to over exert ourselves and players like Elijah, Charlie will be better for the run and Harry coming back will create problems for the Cats.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 6 2025 Post game Prognostications Carlton vs North Melbourne
Nth cant attract any champion players because they are Nth a perennial lowly team with no members and living on the edge so would want to go there knowing the club could fold up at any time and chances of playing finals are minimal at best.
Add Jeremy Cameron and Jacob Weitering and Nth become a competitive team, take away Patrick Cripps and Jacob Weitering from our list and we become Nth..

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL 2025 Rd 4: Carlton vs North Melbourne at Arden St
Nth hang on and it was a disappointing loss lets hope the seniors can do better. Not a lot to get excited about, Lemmey and McMahon made the most of their opportunities vs decent opponents in Pink, Dawson and Tomlinson who have all played senior footy but the delivery in the second half was non existent.
Pittonet battled on and Hayes kept getting the footy but not much else to report and we really lack midfield talent to propel the ball forward and I think most of our problems are list management related.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL 2025 Rd 4: Carlton vs North Melbourne at Arden St
Nth stepped up the pressure, made it more physical and we fell apart and are now trailing at 3/4 time. McMahon been moved down back to help steady the ship but its very hard when your best mid is a horse trainer who only plays one game in four.
Boyd has been terrible, playing on Eddie Ford who is carving him up and our senior listed players have contributed poorly imo.
Dont get the hype on Wilson, Binns kicking isnt great under pressure, Evans had been ineffective and quiet, Campos have done good stuff but have faded out of the game. Ben is good in close with his hands but his kicking and lack of pace need work, Lucas has been more effective imo but again his disposal needs work and Id like to see both him and his brother do some sprint training and get some more breakaway speed into their games.
Pittonet has worked his way into the game as it has slowed up but needs another game in the VFL.
