Agree , Pauline Hanson harped about being flooded by Asians when in the last Census it was shown Indians were the largest race of immigrants.. evident by most fuel convenience outlets owned and staffed by them , contract workers and labourers by employment agencies and high proportion in government transport servicesQuote:

Go and suck Gina Rinehart's dick and keep voting for the pathetic policy black hole of the LNP.Quote:

Pretty sure the last time the Liberal party won an outright majority without the Nats was with John Howard in 1996!Quote:

It’s unbelievable the damage Morrison and Dutton have done to their party. It’s in tatters and may never recover hence the Nats cutting them loose.
Just a little power play my friend. Pretty sure Nat's actually won a seat, so they are a long way ahead of the problems the Liberals have. There needs to be a policy reset from the conservative side and the Nat's aren't going to wait. The bush can't win the majority vote but when 34% can govern the country there is a lot to play for 😎Quote:

The USA is fucked on all three counts.Quote:

Libs arrogantly didn’t.Quote:

I'm not sure about this but If this being the case then good on Pauline!
Going to stick my neck out by saying, migrants are the most racist cohort within the Australian community. And there are reasons. They are threatened by the competition from newer arrivals. And more so, I think, because they come from highly racist countries where race is used as a primary divider. So it makes sense that they are attracted to Pauline Hanson. She’s a nasty bit of work, but she is cunning and knows how to stir division.Quote:

Yay! Blind racism and prejudice will bring us all together as a common bond! Let's keep making blanket statements about individuals for the good of humanity!Quote:
