Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Shawny’s concerns about Victorian and Australian Governments
Last post by Lods -I suspect it's mostly a drift from the Coalition.
The LNP have a bit of a task because they have to pull that vote back, but they can't afford a drift too far to the right because they then lose that moderate vote in the middle where the next election will actually be decided.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Shawny’s concerns about Victorian and Australian Governments
Last post by ElwoodBlues1 -One Nation enjoys a measure of support at the moment because of the turmoil in both the Coalition parties.
That will drift away pretty quickly.
It's probably already started...watch the polls.
You'll probably find a lot of those people who are saying they're voting 'One Nation' are doing it as a bit of a protest at the state of coalition parties
One Nation might have some minor impact in the State election in SA I suspect it will be mostly gone by the time the Victorian election comes around
Hanson has had some strange bedfellows along the way but they never last.
The latest with Barnaby will go the same way.
They lack the political nous and organisation and are too different to successfully mount a co-ordinated challenge in lower houses.
Their upper house seats often turn independent as disagreements arise with party leadership and direction.
I also see it in some respects as a bit of a leaning to the politics in America.
"Make Australia Great Again".
It was successful there...why not here?
The problem is, that 'bus' in the USA is gradually, but surely, losing its wheels and some just haven't caught up with the fact that it's a 'slippery slide' route to chaos that we really don't want to take.
This is how the Nazi party achieved power in Germany after the Weimar Republic years brought recession, and desperation with no alternatives.
People will vote for or try anything when they are desperate and have run out of patience and ideas and then they turn to the nutters ie One Nation.

Last post by shawny -The goverment prevented a professional tennis player entering the country because he wouldnt take a vaccine but cant find a way to prevent ISIS sympathises who left on their own accord back onto our shores as its un lawfull. really?
Our PM provided his usual lip service after the Bondi terror attack saying he would make any changes needed to keep us safe yet as usual when it comes to the crunch he lies diverts and fails to act.
Yet people are still surprised with one nations rapid support.
The public have had a gutful of the current party.
Sorry Shawny but you’re not the public and I think you’ll find that the sensible centre has had a gutful of extremist claims, be they right or left.
As with the CFMEU $15-30Bn beat up, none of this stands up to scrutiny. The Government, regardless of its persuasion, has to comply with the law.
How do you explain one nation which is about as far right wing as you can get rapidly rising in popularity
Or is it another beat up BS story like the 15-30B of our tax payers money going to illegal activities, which as it cant be verified to your liking is now dismissed ?
DJC these are the times when you keep defending and refuse to admit any wrong doing that you lose credibility to me as its obvious your comments are not coming from a balanced view of the situation. Majority of us have a political side we support but most can also call a spade a spade too.
Oh well we shall all see in the upcoming elections what the people think.

But let’s celebrate yet another right wing terrorist being arrested by the WA Joint Counter Terrorism Team before he could implement his deadly plan. I suspect that these wannabe Nazis present a much greater threat than the ISIS brides and their children. Where’s the outrage at these terrorists?
They are the minority, they only have impact when the majority stays silent. Germany and Japan both learned that, now it's their national shame. The strongest opponents of the radicals come from within.
