    Just wondering,
    watching tv and the news and approaching election time soon, where are they, where are our leaders/heroes? All those promises, all this cheap rhetoric. Again and again and again....
    All those cheap remarks, be it from a liberal leader towards Labor, be it the other way around.
    I am so sick of it.....
    What is your take?

    I don't know, I'm waiting for a journo to write a decent article about the difference in policies between Shorten and Morrison...I mostly avoid the rest of the election

    Everyone knows my take on politicians...nothing changes..
    Dont think for a second your vote is important....its not...
    No matter who wins...the same elites and the same oligarchs will
    keep their boots on our throats...billions will be wasted on overseas aid
    and subs and planes etc etc....and politicians will draw exorbitant wages for being incompetent
    and then, when they retire, scam the tax payer again with a pension that isnt means tested
    whilst they are given jobs overseas as ambassadors and travel free of expense...
    Government exists for the oligarchs and themselves...not for the taxpayers...
    Why bother voting, just have your name crossed off and throw your ballot paper away....

    Bill Shorten is a disgrace. If they lose it will be entirely because the Australian people view him as a worm.

    Scomo is a faceless politician who wishes he was a disgrace because it would add at least something to his banal record.

    The liberals made an epic mistake in deposing Turnbull, and an even worse one in picking Scomo of all people as his replacement.

    I will be voting Shooters and Fishers, Liberal Democrat, with the Libs far down. If I bother to vote at all.

    It's all rather annoying with the taxpayer funded ScoMo jaunt to Christmas Island and all the pork barrelling.

    Theres going to be a change of government for sure. The only real contest will be seeing if Tony Abbott hangs onto Warringah.

    At least we still have Bananaby and his family values to keep us entertained.

    Dont forget Morrisons recent trip to NZ...he was only there for 7 hours...him and the entourage that
    went with him of course....makes you wonder how long it will take for skype to be used
    by politicians....no wait.....that would mean less junkets...cant have that....
