And even less believable that 81m 'voted' for Biden in 2020 lol
Agree with your point about housing and cost of living and the diversity stuff is a distraction. Both 'sides' push culture wars - almost like they're actually on the same team and benefit from the actual regular population squabbling amongst themselves so they can get on with the important business of funnelling wealth upwards.
Any average punter who thinks Trump, Hanson, Farage types are on their side are in for a fair bit of disappointment
The nominally left parties are just shit now. They're just as much in the pockets of corporations as the right, and only pretend they'll do anything to change anything. Running on the platform of 'we're the nice ones' but then not doing anything to make peoples lives better has a very limited life span. It pisses people off more than the ones who happily wear their scumminess for all to see

efex sponsor the King and Queen of Mountain jersey in the men's and women's races. Brogan is GM in SA of efex, a business to business IT support/ software company.
Pretty sure he was working for them in NSW post playing days with GWS and transferred back to SA to open up their Adelaide office and Port picked him up as part time ruck coach as a result. Then covid hit after he had been with us for about 16 months and we axed him.

The continent would probably be half Dutch and half French colonial heritage.

Well done to Neale Daniher on his selection as Australian Of The Year 2025. Raising 100 million for MND research is a fantastic achievement.

I've posted before that we should declare Australia a republic and celebrate Republic Day on the last Monday in January, replacing Australia Day as a public holiday.

Heard Albo at Oz day ceremony this morning say that the first 7 people to became naturalized Australian citizens, was on 26th Jan 1949, when Ben Chifley did the honours in Canberra.
So Australians travelled on British passports before that? Were still British Subjects?
I wonder when Sect 44 of the constitution re politicians and dual citizens not being able to run for parliament, subsection (i)
"is under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or a citizen of a foreign power;"
stopped applying to British/UKian born people with dual citizenship as UK was now seen as a foreign power?
1901 - Federation, probably not, or
1931 - Statute of Westminster passed in UK after the dominions had an input and they got increased sovereignty. or
1942 - Statute of Westminster Adoption Act passed in Oz in 1942, mainly because of WWII sovereignty issues, or
1986 - Australia Act passed in Oz and then UK, to stop UK from passing any laws that would affect Australia. Think before this, the states could still appeal cases to Privy Council if they didn't like Supreme Court and High Court rulings.
When all those dual citizen politicians ended up in the High Court a few years ago, this was never raised as to when that change occurred re the UK seen as a foreign power, and how many politicians may have been in breach of section 44 pre 1931/1942/1986 or post 1986.

We are the only country in the world who's national day marks the start of colonisation, there are literally more countries without national days. For such an extreme case, sitting on the fence isn't exactly the middle ground. And before anyone pulls out the new poll that says 69% of Australians want Jan 26 to be our national day, that poll was commissioned by the Institute of Public Affairs, a heavily Liberal Party-aligned think tank and only had 1002 respondents.

We’d probably be two separate countries. Weed and wine together sounds like a bad time.

Can’t believe people still argue about this in the big 2025. It’s such a stupid argument.
People who do celebrate don’t want it changed, and the ones that complain wouldn’t celebrate even if it was changed. They’re a prime example of virtue signalling.

Awfully convenient that all the clubs put out some sort of statement yet the AFL stayed eerily quiet today on their social media channels.
Nothing to see here, I'm sure.
