    Have you seen John Hewson's columns in the Saturday Paper? He's very down on the LNP's recent past.

    Newcorpse is already on that case and they are trying to craft Dutton's image in a more friendly lighter way, as is the LNP.

    So, everyone enjoying the new Govt?

    Nice to see the Sri Lankan family returned to Biloela. They even had a street parade.

    My oldies think this will set some kind of precedent if they're allowed to stay permanently. Sigh old people

    There's old and there's old. I'm 63. When the community backs them so hard, there's only the right thing to do.

    As for "opening the flood gates to boat pipple!!!1!", turnbacks are still jappening.

    So am I technically... but I don't like most of them. Smug and greedy, for a large part.

    That's true.

    So chime in here if I'm wrong we had 9 or so years of the Liberals in power and through all those years the Reserve Bank never thought of lifting interest rates, almost like they got told to not do that then when the Libs were out of government they did the thing they didn't think to do years ago, so I think this was coming but had it happened earlier the drama about it would have not been so bad.

    It's a bit more complicated than that. It also has to do with the LNP Govt suppressing wage rises for all that time. I don't know enough abt it and I'm right in the middle of three other things. I'll get back to you.

    No, he believes a government should be a theocracy, with him at the top.

    he's been blathering on about god's plan for him, but as has also been lobbying the NRL for a job.

    If they tell him to go fly is that god's plan or they don't want a man who's been fired from every high level job he's had working for them?
