Lads I have an honest confession to make. In the last month I've gone through some mental changes on politics. Probably going to vote Labor next election
Joseph Ward
>be Texan >Aus Planes you as opposed to what? Liberal? you're the same as you were
Grayson Anderson
why
Carter Nelson
MAKE MELBOURNE AUSTRALIAN AGAIN
Samuel Smith
Running as an Independent for the Area of agricultural in WA preferencing the Liberal Democrats here.
Robert Thompson

Owen Torres
cool, be smart and don't show off that shirt. you need to sway the cunts at the top not us
Mason Parker
did anyone watch QandA last night? i ended up getting drunk and forgot about it
did anything (((controversial))) happen?
Oliver Morales
fuck, I missed it. where has q&a user gone?
Jonathan Evans
Pauline Hanson is the most powerful person in the country.
Cooper Williams
Don't worry, won't wear it at the booths or anything. If I'm going to spruike for the Lib dems in my area I'll focus on stuff like Tobacco taxes since that seems to be what gives most people in my area grief.
Juan Reyes
AFP blacksite arrested for terrorism
Evan Lee
>perpetuating the continued stagnation of our country
Labor and Liberal have done NOTHING for this country in the last decade except bicker
Just dancing around like idiots and shit flinging. This is what they do with their time and your money all day every day and for the last 10 years
Nathaniel Watson
to be fair thats how our "politicians" have acted since the dawn of time
David Peterson
What's more productive, parliament debates or /auspol/?
Austin Brown
>Tobacco taxes meh, if that helps. you should focus on the ag side though. what is going on with the agricultural aspect of your area? what do think needs improving?
Josiah Martin
auspol is far more productive than any govt department desu
Julian Ward
things still happened back then, what has happened here in 10 years? backstabbing and fuck all
well not parliament that's for sure
Wyatt Hughes
>Perpetuating the 2.5 party system don't do this
John Wright
true, i blame women
Caleb Bailey
Well there is an impending feral dog problem. They're using the Moore river as a channel and will be as close to Perth as Bullsbrook in 10 years.
I'll find some other stuff, but I'm mainly promoting the Liberal democrats rather than myself.
Carter Reed
what do you think about tourism? looks like a nice place, I haven't been north of perth, I got family in bustleton >i'm from SA
maybe you could get the local pounds and RSPCA on side with the dog thing
Christopher Moore
with the ag stuff how much of the area is used? it looks like the majority of it is a nat. park
Ian Campbell
ah just found this on Wikipedia The catchment area is used for broadacre farming but with increasing diversification in horticulture and tree plantations.
what is being grown there? any chance for expanding? does it fuck the water? any chance for more employment?
John Moore
who to vote for
inb4 One Nation. While I can agree to zero net immigration the rest of their policy is pants on the head retarded. I absolutely do not believe a fish and chips merchant has any fucking clue on things like economics or foreign policy. I prefer technocrats
Aaron Ramirez
Do you think that our economics or foreign policy are in a place worth maintaining now? You don't vote ON for their policies. You vote for them to show Liberals and Labour that if they don't get off their asses and do their jobs they're replaceable. That's the problem with our politics, our politicians will never feel insecure because they know that they're always one of two choices. A third strong party will completely throw this off. And one that isn't the Greens is so much better.
Daniel Morris
I voted LDP, but you should make your own mind up based on your own values and not what we think
Liam Cox
>vote for ON to give everyone a loud FUCK YOU because lol I don't care I don't think that's the entirety of it buddy
Caleb Martinez
Autism.
Brandon Cruz
>vote for the status quo because lol I don't care high level of discourse we've got here
Colton Russell
we have ids mate
Camden Gonzalez
I know. My last post works exactly the same whether you think it was made by me or somebody else.
Aiden Lewis
no I mean one post above the one you replied to states what party I voted for.
Mason Flores
ON or Lib Dems
ON have some good policies and aside from open borders the lib dems are good too
and as says it will light a fire up the lazy fucks asses in the major parties
Leo Perez
Oh, missed that. I stand by what I said about ON though. It's not that I don't care. It's that they're the ones most likely the hammer the point home that Australians want things to change. To be noticed a party needs numbers and ON are looking like the strongest alternative party at the moment. Throwing as much weight behind them as possible seems like the way to go.
Easton Cooper
I only ask to hear what people have to say.
I want zero net immigration, more isolationist foreign policy and nordic model capitalism. I think One Nation will be very bad for this country, I would prefer status quo than these guys. I trust Hanson more than anyone else in her party though
Matthew Ross
>I think One Nation will be very bad for this country There will not be a country if immigration is not stopped. Not a country of Australians.
It is the only issue that matters. Getting caught up on details of hypothetical economic policies in the face of the demographic threat is just stupid.
Jacob Collins
If ON were able to win over Dick Smith that's enough for me, but I suspect that he went over for more or less the same reasons I did. Not real support but he recognizes that they're the ones who'll spark off the real good changes. My thinking is that population control is the great crisis of our time, even if nobody is willing to acknowledge it it's the greatest threat to not only our way of life, but those of the whole world.
Cutting down on immigration is a start. People aren't built to overpopulate. The world is full and so the first world is ramping down its growth. Only now banking autists and such can't tolerate this because their mountain of shekels won't grow as quickly for a while, so we're fucking nature beyond recognition to stimulate artificial growth until the our fucked up global society experiences a total Malthusian collapse which will probably result in the deaths of billions.
Jace Brown
I agree that it will make pollies give more of a fuck to try and get to know what members of their constituent actually want, so i'm all for it in that respect. Do you want them to actually run the country or just stir up shit? >I only ask to hear what people have to say. well you got that anyhow, sorry for loosing my cool, just that auspol gets me fired up, it makes me angry, really FUCKINGF ANGRY I GET FIRED UP AND ANGRY especially when cunts like don't reply I looked up all his shit fuckkckck
Colton Davis
if Dick was in charge i'd be on ON's side too he's a champ
Jonathan Lopez
>Do you want them to actually run the country If it were up to me we wouldn't have a parliament at all. Let each state run themselves more or less. Our government is too bloated and disconnected from its roots to do any good, let alone anything at all. All they seem to be good for is collecting money and stunning Australians into apathy with their presence, because as long as we have a parliament our desires are represented, right?
He should just hijack the party all ready. He knows that Australia is full but he only seems willing to address the problem in indirect ways. It's not in his nature but he needs to grab Australia by the balls and force this point down our throats. Most people just won't realize the problem until it's too late. Hell, it already probably is.
Jackson Brooks
Dick Smith is OLD m8.
Charles Bennett
Do you hansfkins really think she can get any seats? Ngl former one nation supporter here, you're all a bunch of racists that aren't even old enough to vote.
Austin Cook
>ON is racist meme
you learn that in gender studies you massive faggot
Nicholas Reed
>hansfkins I understand the attempt at meme-synthesis but this doesn't work. Trying to pronounce this just creates a mental car-crash too confusing to leave room for rage.
Henry Moore
Are my posts showing up?
Have I been shadowbanned?
No-one is blessing me with any (you)s tonight.
Jonathan Barnes
>Let each state run themselves I think states should run more than they are and be allowed to allocate more cash but some things do need a national perspective

Daniel King
WAfag here, is there anywhere I can see candidates from each electorate for the upcoming state election?
Ryder Ward
My existence was still validated m8. Thanks.
Connor Rodriguez
Adelaide needs to be nuked.
Kevin Rodriguez
Vote for the LDP to fuck over the NEETs and single mums. Im 25 and negatively gear just as a fuck you to the Government. Rather give my money to the banks for an asset than the Gov who'll just give most of it to old people and degenerates.
Christopher Morris
Rare that anyone replies to posts of substance, so if that's what you're doing: you're doing it wrong.
Wyatt Nelson
@113645700 post something worth replying to
Covered this briefly in uni. A national government isn't an inherently bad thing but ours definitely is. I think we need to start taking power from them. Not all at once but pieces at a time.
Unfortunately though I live in Melbourne. If this place didn't have the rest of the country cancelling out our retarded voter-base we'd be the poz capital of the universe by now.
Wyatt Bell
I like to throw in a mix of substance, insults, banter and inanity.
James Collins
what else can i call one nation supporters?
Nicholas Richardson
Pantsdowners?
Luke Kelly
rednecks, racists, nazis, Hansonites, bigots, too dumb for uni. This stuff isn't hard.
>Lads I have a confession to make. I am FriendlyJordies and I have resorted to desperate shilling.
Parker Bennett
I did a coure with this bloke who was going on about if the gst was saved rather than spent it could be held and accumulate interest, then that interest could be spent there are flaws in that, namely we'd be broke as a nation for the time to accumulate the first amount of interest but eh, what do you guys think?
Logan Diaz
>FriendlyJordies Haven't heard from him in a while. He seems to have gone quiet.
William Brooks
The only ones outraged by Drumpfkin were probably ironic shitposters replying to less ironic shitposters. This board is more or less at Sup Forums levels of shitposting singularity when it comes to big issues.
Grayson Hughes
Friends, the biggest issue in Australia right now is the concentration of people in a few tiny urban areas.
Australia has the potential to be great, but not while the majority of people are locked away in miserable, dense, polluted megacities.
The water resources of QLD are sufficient to make all of Queensland a productive, drought-proof agricultural area, with space for large inland cities. The diversion and damming of rivers in NQ can make Queensland the largest agricultural powerhouse in the world.
The water resources of NW Australia are vast as well, and we can create tens of millions of irrigated acres using lakes and streams in the otherwise desert region of NW Western Australia.
To green South Australia's northern regions, we can dig a tunnel from the ocean and create a vast series of salt water lakes. These will evaporate and massively increase rainfall in the centre of Australia. We can also make use of cheap nuclear power to build vast desalination plants to supply cities and farms in the area.
Australia has potential, we just need to think big, not small.
Asher Taylor
did the students go for it? I suppose a hypothetical outcome could be the states split but I think we as aussies have a unity
Jackson Stewart
is townsville a good city lads
Thomas Reyes
voted One Nation
Matthew Wright
kek
Joshua Flores
It was just a general discussion. It was more about the structure of governments in general than ours in particular.
Nathan Wilson
pantsdownies
Jordan Thompson
It is neither.
Josiah Davis
I refuse to believe that Labor is retaining a strong lead in Victoria. Andrews has been a catastrophe, nobody can defend him.
It is good to see that Labor's resurgence was shut down the second question time resumed. It'll get worse for them because low-energy Mal is not going anywhere.
Lucas Gonzalez
I like this idea. I live in an urban area and it's fucking killing my soul. I'm 20 years old and I've never had a job. I kind of want to die.
Only downside I see here is that more agriculture encourages population growth worldwide. Fantastic economically if Australia ends up feeding 6 billion people personally, but also that's a frighteningly large global population. I personally think that we need to settle the fuck down with population growth worldwide and go smaller scale everything if we want to be sane come the year 2100.
Parker Fisher
>Victoria What do you expect from the state that houses Melbourne and "Apex", the Greens to be winning?
Caleb Robinson
why not
Jackson Butler
>more agriculture encourages population growth worldwide I'm not sure that is how it works m8.
Jose Campbell
It was just a shitpost m8.
Camden Hall
>dig a tunnel from the ocean and create a vast series of salt water lakes. exaggerate the salting of australian soil. criky
Blake Sanchez
someone posted this a few threads back I don't really get it, is it saying we should link them all up? does anyone know more about it?
If we get to the point where food production is stretched to the limit and everyone is forced to deal with inferior and more expensive food it might prompt the world into addressing population growth. Not a certainty but a chance. If food remains plentiful then there's 0 chance of it happening.
Nolan Martin
Populations in Africa can't grow if all the kids are starving. It's not that hard to conceptualize.
Bob Katter is a proponent, I need to start taking him more seriously
Brandon Cruz
My friend knows him personally
He contracted Hepatitis recently
Gavin Brown
Many of the rivers on that map do not yet exist. There are vast and impressive rivers in northern Queensland but they don't flow to western Queensland where the water is needed.
The Bradfield scheme would divert some of those incredible rivers to western Queensland for irrigation and other purposes, literally creating hundreds if not millions of square kilometres of drought proofed prime agricultural land out of what was once desert.
Noah White
In 1947, W.H.R. Nimmo, conducted a critical review of the scheme.[5] He proved that Bradfield's estimates of the amount of water available from the easterly flowing rivers were about two and half times greater than it actually was. The error was attributed to the methodology used to calculate flow estimates was based on German rivers where the average temperature was much less than in northern Australia
maybe it could work with extra water from a desal plant on the coast
Thomas Carter
Need to be careful with such schemes though. Take a look at what the Soviet Union did with redirection of water resources, dried up entire lakes and if I remember correctly, even a small sea.
Ethan Green
>Most of QLD has no water >Let's take the water from places where they've got more than they need and spread it out to places that need more than what they got. Problem with the plan is that there isn't as much water as they used to think, and it would cost a fuckton. Still, we should be looking at seriously changing the geology of this country. If we opened up the interior the wealth of this country would sky rocket, too bad we're way too content with all grouping up on the East coast.
Wyatt Wilson
Would you say Pauline is pro-white or just anti-islam?
Logan Morgan
Actually there's far more than even they could imagine.
The Murray Darling Basin irrigates 50% of Australia's agricultural production. NQ has more than 20x the water resources of the Murray Darling Basin. Even using 5% of them would virtually double Australia's agricultural production.
Aaron Walker
Pro-Australia and islam is the opposite of Australia
Jonathan Reed
in the wiki it says that the estimation was an over estimation but desal plants could be used.. maybe, I don't really know good point
Caleb Young
These two videos will explain to you Pauline's views on race and how they have changed over the years:
Perth is a no-go for Tourism, drinks are too expensive, not enough parking and what parking there is kinda too expensive. If we wanted to make it a destination we'd have to embrace degeneracy by legalizing recreational cannabis and build a red light district.
WA as a whole however is a great destination for eco-tourism, such as the Southwest being one of the worlds biodiversity hot spots. There's even hunting to be done with a surplus of feral goats and pigs.
While there are a spattering of national parks across the South-west, inland is still very much agricultural. Main moneymakers are probably grazing for wool and meat, most crop is typically stock feed.
I was only referring to the Moore river as context to the feral dog problem, I'm not too familiar with the other local issues in that area.
Keep in mind I'm running for an unwinnable seat just to preference the Libdems.
Sebastian Peterson
>Even using 5% of them would virtually double Australia's agricultural production >Implying shitty tropical crops could compete with temperate and mediterranean übercrops like wheat, barley, citrus and stonefruits. Enjoy your rice and dragonfruit NQ cuck.
David Stewart
Overwhelmingly Pro-Australian. Her supporters generally think there are far too many Immigrants taking up Jobs inflating house prices and committing crimes.
