Prices take on Greens & Teals

It just goes to show that if you have enough money you can buy an election. Holmes A Court’s gang really should act with “transparency” and “integrity” now by making their teal party official.
The Greens have divided and conquered our nation through emotive identity politics, fear mongering over climate and gaslighting anyone who disagrees so the inner city elites now hold power.

The elite agenda is being set by the government who are beholden to the Greens so I’d say we’re in for a bumpy ride these next few years.

I’ll be sure to fight for the benefit of regional, remote Australia and common sense.

My priorities are about saving lives not grandiose acts of symbolism that amount to nothing more than patting one’s self on the back.

But she's tied her cart to the wrong horse if she wants to see that change actually materialise.

She is spot on.

There are at least 10 federal parliamentarians now who claim Aboriginality. That is 4.4% of the total 226 federal parliamentarians. Is that not an indigineous voice in parliament??? If anything, Aborigines are overrepresented in parliament relative to their proportion in the population (3.3 %)

Estragon: I can’t go on like this.

Leaving that recognition aside - which is both unnecessary and undemocratic - what needs to be done and how would you want to implement it?

That's not a question for me as I'm not an indigenous Australian nor do I live in or near their communities.

And it's not undemocratic, it will require a referendum to have constitutional change. You cannot get more democratic than that. You're only using that word to describe it because you don't yet have a way of justifying what will inevitable be your prejudice on the subject.

And even if I had an answer, no matter what it is, you'll fish for an excuse to make sure none of your tax dollars goes to help them.

You've made your mind up and I won't claim to know what is driving that decision, although I could guess, you won't give your reasons until you can see the justification from others so you can invent them to suit the situation.

We know your game.

You're in the right place to hold the views you do about indigenous Australians.
