An awful situation. Hope she pulls through.

Its beyond awful and never thought our once safe country would ever see crimes like this. 

Hopefully we can turn it around.

This is just the latest blow in the war against women that has been a part of our culture since the arrival of the first fleet.  If you don’t understand that, you must have your head in the sand 🙁

There is going to be a lot of angry posters come 28th November ;)

Not me!
I live in Queensland. ;)  :D

Seriously though, I just think what you folk are going to end up with is a bit of a mess, with no party having absolute control or a mandate and reliant on deals and compromise to get legislation through.
"Going to end up in a mess" Lods? This state is a farken hot mess now mate.

Be careful what you wish for is all i'm saying.

I'm not saying there is a magic button to fix everything, but one way or another it will get worse before it gets better. How much worse is up for debate and time will tell.

Kruddler, theres risks in every change and of course whatever you have may not be as bad as what you can get - that's life and if that's your way of thinking stay in bed pull the covers over yourself and stay there all day.

Voting for Labour is endorsing the current state we are in and why it just cant happen and i dont think it will.

Sure there are risks.

We, as a country, are going to go on a journey.

We can choose Liberal....and it might be the old rusted commodore that you keep throwing money at in the hope to get it back to the glory days.
We can choose Labor....and it might be the 2nd hand boat your bought that constantly leaks and never runs right. Throwing money at it hand over fist.
or
We can choose One Nation....and it might be a rocket ship with ACME written on the side. We know we are in for a journey, but have no idea where it will take us, but almost guarantee its not where you are hoping, and it never ends well.

The first 2, are old and busted, but there is a proven track record, IF you can work out the kinks.
The 3rd option....is a ride nobody will want to be on once it takes off.

And about 12 months after that there will be a lot of angry Victorians, many of whom will be experiencing buyer's remorse, and for whom the famous "leopards ate my face" meme will unfortunately be quite appropriate, much like Trump supporters in the US.

Latest update on Helen Haines is pretty bad : she's lost one leg and surgeons are fighting to save the other leg. She remains in a critical condition.
An awful situation. Hope she pulls through.

Its beyond awful and never thought our once safe country would ever see crimes like this.

I wrote a big long post but deleted it because this is my place to read about footy - but
I cant take anyone seriously that will vote ON and cbf with the argument - Im still hurting from a close friend spewing the same pro ON bullcrap she reads in the HS.

Suffice to say imo most rational empathetic people want betterment for all.  I dont see Poorline or her alcoholic sidekick Barnaby having that in mind.

There's 30 years of PH history there for people to draw upon if they so choose. A proven history of punching down and sucking up. She and her flunkies are as much a friend of ordinary workers as her No1 benefactor.
