When 2015 nominations came on to the calendar, the normal line up of Presidential hopefuls were assembled. To the left, the mob of leftie luvvies headed up by Hillary Clinton. To the right, the line up of Republican aspirants who hoped to topple Ms Clinton from her dynastic and despotic rule of quasi Royalty.
And along came Trump…..

I look at the state of our country, the changes, the political rubbish, the spin and I think no matter who we vote for we never get what we want or expect.

I read this hard hitting comment on Pickering Post written by a contributor BruceRugby and was struck by what he said.
Brendan Tarrant was, as many would remember, the man who carried out the Christchurch Massacre in New Zealand, back in March 2019.
I just got off the phone from speaking with a friend for 2 hours. She is from the bush. Her son, a farmer, committed suicide. He left behind a wife and heartbroken children.
The last of his breeding cattle went to the saleyards and the SPCA said that they were too poorly to be sold. Take them home and fatten them up.
How? He has no money to buy fodder.
An “ asylum seeker “ detained on Manus Island has been flown to Australia, courtesy of Dr Kieren Phelps Medevac legislation which passed during her brief sojourn as a Politician. Yes, the poor chap felt deflated and inadequate after injecting his old fella with Palm Oil in the hopes that it would become a chick magnet. But, alas, it seems that instead of getting a really tall palm tree with a few ample coconuts hanging off, he ended up with a dead tree with no oil at all.
Come on Jacquie - repeal Medevac!
Now I have seen and heard it all. Volunteer firefighters need a “ Police Pass “ saying you are an upright citizen and you don't go around stealing or raping innocent people. After that dreadful comment from that woman Domestic violence advocate Sherele Moody the other day about Firemen and domestic violence, now to be labeled potential looters and taking advantage of someone left stranded by the fire is beyond comprehension. What are they trying to do. These men have gone beyond duty , they have worked and put up with a situation that many of us couldn't even begin to understand. That is how our Queensland Government is saying thank you !!
I have just finished reading a very interesting and critical article about the ABC .. Australian Broadcasting Corporation.Once upon a time the first Channel on TV I went to was the ABC. It has to be months since I, other than when I am changing channels, have watched anything on Channel 21 or 24. It was always my favourite channel, good British shows, and to think that I even watched David Attenborough .... that man has last the plot !! All you seem to hear and see from the ABC now are people talking and behaving in a way that we are not used to.For goodness sake get someone in charge of the ABC that will start entertaining and informing the Australian people again.
I feel somewhat bogged down today. The weight of what is happening here in Australia and overseas in America, the UK, Hong Kong and elsewhere seems to be a weight that is increasingly heavy. People say that you need to straighten your shoulders, pull your gut in and stand tall - but, right now, it is damned hard to do so. The weight is so heavy.
Can we throw this burden of bulls##t off?
I see that the hashtag “ Quiet Australians “ is trending on twitter. I read the tweets and they seem to be all about tearing down the quiet Australian, not identifying who that person is.
That person is ME. A quiet Australian. Tolerant, kind, decent, nice - just a normal sort of person. Yet, apparently, I am the enemy. The Quiet Australian is :
The Enemy.
I am often amazed that cats allow us to take care of them. After all, they are so wise, so independent and so arrogant.Why do so many of us love them?Because they are so wise, so independent and so arrogant.Like children and babies, do we deserve their trust?

Ok, I know I am dreaming, as Darryl Kerrigan would have said, but wouldn’t it be fantastic if Queensland went True Blue, Dinkie Die, proper old fashioned and the pair of Outsiders won the election and we got our State back? If it happened, it would be going straight to the pool room.
