key policies
Oct 31^st, 2020 at 9:31am

LNP:
10pm curfew for kids - WTF?
$300 car rego cashback - makes sense from a macroeconomic perspective
electricity subsidies for big businesses - terrible idea from an economic or climate perspective
fake claims about death taxes

ALP:
Voluntary Assisted Dying (euthanasia)
free tampons

My area could do with an Independent like Clover Moore and her studded dog collar around her neck with her Goth inner-city style.
She would turn our area into a little Independent Nation of self-sufficiency and a chest that the Feds can't get their hands on, let alone the States.
Our roads would be paved in other area's gold and fountains will provide clean water to keep the coinage clean.

Stuff the Feds, stuff the States too.

One Nation is a 'regression' back to how Australia was - a 'generalisation' of the nation, away from when Victoria was like a 'different nation' from the other States. Each State had a unique culture of its own - before One Nation came on the scene.

I asked the question of the local Labor candidate, given the local LNP candidate was too busy running $2500-per-plate "access" lunches, but given you mentioned it, I'll ask it here.

Why would a $300 rego rebate have any kind of stimulatory economic impact, given current trends around:

- Saving any extra money coming into households where possible
- If not saving, then paying down debt ("repairing household balance sheets"), or
- Using the money to pay for Government fees, taxes, charges and levies...

...None of which stimulate much by way of economic activity.

Personally, that - as much as anything else - lost them my vote.

Why?

Because it was blatant "vote buying".

Thankfully the electorate saw past it.

Key policies? Why - to continue to promote feminism and all the other -isms that are so dear to the hearts of 'progressive' politicians... such issues are far too important to be left to politicians... the 28 year war on men wrought by 'dv laws' is still going on and is getting worse - the 38 year war on men under affirmative action is still going on without any end in sight - and that's without any organised resistance from those attacked.... who have not, in the main, worked out that they are under attack and never will until the knock is on their door or that of their family.

Anyway - did any of those equal sheilas get across the rope in SASA last night? Scary, innit? Every 'join the defence force' ad is about sheilas... sure they can do some jobs - but trying to make it about 'equality' is a laugh. They HAVE equality based on merit and ability here and have had for years... all they have to do is accept, like most blokes, that they have limits.

For a lot of families, that $300 would go straight on food.

Is paying tax some kind of new trend?
