If the Liberal Party wish to get into bed with UAP how does that reconcile with the 'high welfare debt'' mantra?

UAP are offering pensioners $150pw rise in pensions (ok there is a misleading advert on youtube) it said pw. This says PF

Currently Australian pensioners are paid less than what asylum seekers are paid a fortnight. This is a disgrace and by increasing the aged pension by 20 per cent the Palmer United Party will provide pensioners with an additional $150 a fortnight.”

Ahh found it from his FB page , or at least the link to it

Clive Palmer - Home | Facebook
https://en-gb.facebook.com › Pages › Public figure › Entrepreneur

Support our pensioners with $150/week increase. 42. 9. More empty promises from Labor & Liberal. 22. 5. 20% Less tax for Regional Australia. 83. 24.
Full pension (single adult) = $820 per fortnight
SRSS payment for asylum seeker (single adult) = $480 per fortnight

The only way a pensioner receives less than an asylum seeker is if they're means tested out of needing to get the pension. What a strange and easily debunked policy position.

If the Chinese wanted to invade Australia they could have done so any time within the last decade without breaking a sweat.

The conspiracy theory is amusing and the voters in WA at least have largely switched off to UAP's claims and mock Clive Palmer.
Palmer was selling his Nickel Ore to China

The more the NLP argue against establishing a Federal ICAC, the more you know we need one
Just like we desperately needed a royal commission on the banks that they blocked for ages....

And a royal commission into the paedo priests that they also blocked for as long as possible

Cant quite put my finger on it - Its almost like the liberal party are out for themselves and their mates and the rest of us can go ead.

I heard a theory you need to be corrupt to rise in the ranks, the brokers like you in power when they have dirt on you
I have a mate whos idea is that they control a large portion of pollies who are paedos in europe. They literally own you then - if they tell you to say the sky is green you will ask what shade.

Actually they cant - they dont have a blue water navy - force projection requires a blue water navy that can sustain itself and a couple of aircraft carriers at sea for extended periods or your expensive expedition will lie at the bottom of the ocean.

Make no mistake the chinese are developing this capability - but they dont currently have the ability to force project much past their own region.

They have one functioning aircraft carrier - a refitted old soviet carrier and own a couple of others for study purposes (including hmas melbourne) and one in completion

The one they have is small in comparison to a yank carrier carrying 48 aircraft designed more for ground support- their second one will have a few more.

Any invasion force would have the carriers targeted and sunk expeditiously by sub or aircraft - then all you have is a big mass of targets - essentially defenceless without a carrier.

Any serious force projection would require a bunch of carriers - with several specialising in interdiction.

By the time they have that we will have the jsf - which despite the bad press will be basically clubbing baby harp seals when matched against the chinese development of the sukhoi.

And they were blocking the RC into disability care until recently. People are yet to connect the dots on what LNP donors had a vested interest in that RC not happening
