I wonder why so many are attracted to them. They’re not giving away free stuff.

They aren't attracted to them per se. It's a protest vote against the majors. I dunno why so many people don't get this. The next election isn't for ages anyway, so 26% today doesn't mean that much. If the election was tomorrow that would probably normalise to 15-20% and end up in a couple of seats at most.

At any normal time in history the politically unaligned middle voted for Labor until they got sick of them for spending too much or giving too much power to the unions or whatever, so they voted for the Coalition until they got sick of them for punishing workers and privatising too many things etc. etc.

Nowadays the two major parties are 90% the same and the current opposition are comically bad. Who is sick of Albanese and at the same time with a straight face actually believes whoever the Liberal leader is this week offers a realistic alternative? Minor parties are a warning shot. If a couple of million people say "I'm not voting for either of you, I am voting for these guys" you should really look into that if you are the majors. If you keep ignoring it then you end up like Europe.

If you look at the polling since June Labor have dropped from about 37% to 31%. The opposition have gone from 32% to about 19%. One Nation have gone from 6 to 26. More people that would already vote "right" have shifted from the Coalition to One Nation than would have voted "left" have switched sides. It's a way bigger issue for the opposition than the govt, currently. If a quarter of the population do ending up voting for ON, the majors will have to decide if they want to preference each other over ON. It only becomes a real thing if ON join the Coalition or overtake the ALP.

You really notice them in Europe. They're the ones with really loud voices talking about how everything is bigger and better in America. Walking out of the closing ceremony last night with a loud one walking behind us. So wanted to turn around and say something.

Guy at work drives 3 30 year old cars. Drives like an 80 year old in a Mercedes. Comes out onto road out of work and stops on the road and takes off at turtle pace.

Comes into work corner at turtle pace and i shit you not. 1km/ hr down the entrance over speed bumps and he goes over them where he thinks nobody goes over them.

On the road hes an absolute liability.

This may be polarising, but people who say the year "two thousand twenty six"

It's "twenty twenty six"

One hundred years ago was it "nineteen hundred twenty six"?

The French have this right.

Wish it was "nineteen hundred twenty six". We'd be about to have a four-peat

I'd say "two thousand and six" (2006), but I can't imagine saying "two thousand twenty six"

That doesn't sound right

We should go back to prefacing each year with "the year" like we did 2000.

Twenty ten was where it stopped imo.

As pedantic as I am, I still raise an eyebrow when I hear "twenty oh-six" which is in line with "nineteen oh-six" I'll admit.

Twenty twenty six. Acceptable.
Two thousand and twenty six. Acceptable.
Two thousand twenty six. Unacceptable. Omitting the 'and' is seppo bullshit.

I don't make the rules. Except for just then, when I did.

Should ask a German tourist what year it is.

'It is two sow-zand six, und twenty'.
