Hmm! Last betting I saw at Sportsbet was a Labor victory $1.22. Coalition victory $4.25. You should load-up if you reckon the hypocrite and serial liar will get over the line.It appears to be working. So can you blame him?
Don't think so. My family who have never voted anything but Liberal ever won't be on the 18th and neither are those in their social circle.It appears to be working. So can you blame him?

On seat-by-seat betting the bookies have the LNP losing 7 of their 21 seats in Qld.Hmm! Last betting I saw at Sportsbet was a Labor victory $1.22. Coalition victory $4.25. You should load-up if you reckon the hypocrite and serial liar will get over the line.
Well it appears that the bookies are blinded by his incredible campaigning ...It appears to be working. So can you blame him?
Why are we so hell bent on dehumanise our country? Examples are;
1/ We would prefer to mechanise anything rather than have humans do it.
2/ We will move any and every job off shore if it saves a dollar. Everything from manufacturing jobs to legal services and everything in between.
3/ We would rather import skills from overseas because it is much easier than educate and train our own kids.

Couldn't agree more strongly PJ. Some people dearly love economic freedom so much they'd rather an American-style society. In my view, completely unfettered capitalism is un-Australian. We have always prided ourselves on targeted regulation and socioeconomic egalitarianism.This comes from blanket capitalism with minimal regulation. The United States is an example - the biggest economy in the world that renders half of it's people on or below the poverty line. That is a failed system.
The IPA would dearly love us to copy it. Which is why, regardless of your leanings, Australians need to protect our Medicare, our decent social security and our living minimum wage. There are things that are broken within our system, but these 3 things are fundamental.
I agree, he's too smart for that.I'd bet my bottom dollar his church doesn't see one red cent from his pay packet.
Don't forget the obligatory 10% of your wages to fund the church.
Should do a Turnbull and make his donation via The Scummo Foundation.I agree, he's too smart for that.
In case anyone was wondering
United Pentecostal Dress Rules for Women
"The basic reason for modesty of dress is to subdue the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life," the UPCI document continues. "The exposed body tends to arouse improper thoughts in both wearer and onlooker."
To avoid such problems, United Pentecostal churches set these modesty guidelines for women:
• No slacks "because they immodestly reveal the feminine contours of upper leg, thigh, and hip"
• No makeup
• No jewelry except wedding ring and wristwatch
• No low necklines
• No sleeveless dresses or shirts
• No very tight or very thin clothes
• No dress hemlines at or above the knee
• No sleeves above the elbow
• Uncut hair
The UPCI says balance is appropriate for women:
"She is not so old-fashioned as to look like a monstrosity, but she is deliberately methodical in choosing clothing that will dignify her womanhood without provoking the stares of the opposite sex."
Things have tightened up since Shorten has had to open his mouth and now this deal with UAP. Unloseable elections have been lost before.

In my view, society is better off overall when the top 10 or 20% of the socioeconomic ladder is wealthy but not stratospherically wealthier than the bottom 80%.
Communism never works but pure capitalism is just as bad and oppressive to the majority. Ironically, it basically produces the same result as Soviet-style communism: a majority of people just getting by or struggling while a certain elite (who know the right people) live in luxury.

Great post.Whether an Australian is poor by (say) a Burkinabe's standards is immaterial, since they have to live in a high-cost of living country (Australia) not in Burkina Faso.
This is IMO a naive and fallacious argument. Charities are largely localised in their activities, so charities serving wealthy neighbourhoods will be far better funded than those serving poor areas, since the wealthy have far more incentive to fund charities that serve their interests than charities that don't. Charities have a limited capacity to serve poorer areas for that reason. If you're a needy person in a remote area? You're largely on your own.
Also, if the wealthy dislike paying tax, why would they like funding charities that don't serve their interests?
Countries with high inequality (USA, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa) tend to suffer from crime, political corruption and social dysfunction. Not to mention that for a first world country, the US has utterly appalling infant mortality/drug use/literacy rates (as many as 43% of Americans are functionally illiterate).
Unless that's the sort of society you want to live in, then enforcing equality is important.
Also, I don't understand how enforcing equality discourages people from taking personal responsibility? Is a lack of personal responsibility solely responsible for the ills that the lower classes suffer from? I doubt it very much.
Economic freedom and 'taxation' aren't the same thing. Our top marginal tax rate is on paper slightly lower; our corporate tax rate is generally higher.
I would contend that the USA is really 'pro-socialism for the wealthy'.
Was chatting to a guy down the servo and he told me this was a sure thing to happen

I think it is funny.
Way to go Scottie, alienate the families with young children that care about things like climate change and not your do nothing government.
