Hello folks. Would love to hear about your views about the upcoming election.
Dear Ifti,
You never learn.
All the best,

not sure that would have translatedâŚ
if you started clapping while someone was booing during a ceremony built around silence id translate it support of the actionâŚ
agree thoughâŚwould have been nice if someone belted them back to next weekâŚ
its all become a bit heated and precious, the best welcome to country i ever heard was at the âbruthen blues festâ a little town in gippsland of not much note, puts on a yearly bluesfestâŚanyways on the saturday night the local elder just got up on the mainstageâŚand litterally said to everyone;
âyeah, welcome to country, lets have a good time and try not to wreck the jointâ
was brilliant, now i know thats not going to translate into an opening ceremony of a sporting event or a school hall or anythingâŚbut the way the guy handled it, to the crowd he was addressingâŚbrilliantâŚ

I just want to put this here, as there have been many discussions on here and on TIA where the Aussie system has been revered and used as an example of how a health care system should be set up. All along I have stated that the success at ground level doesnât match up with how much itâs respected?
Do we in Australia receive reasonably good health care even in 2025? Sure. But itâs neither cheap or has any wait time improvements over what people get in Western Europe. Certainly my experience in both the UK and France have been better. Ok, maybe not in the UK immediately post-Covid where the only way to be seen for a consult for even minor things was through a hospitalâŚ
Medicare is going downhill fast. And its not on any politicianâs radar to fix.
Albanese has plans and is putting resources into Medicare. Dutton is not.

so your saying Medicare funding will stop if Dutton gets elected?
No that is too radical even for the bat shit stupid Qld conservatives running the Liberal party. But you know that and your comment is disingenuous.

I wouldnât say that Dutton would stop funding Medicare. But similar to the NHS under the Tories over the last 14 years, funding will be cut so drastically that it will be completely unusuable for the average person unless they pay through their arse for private cover.

Unlikely although that is what Albo will insinuate this week as the Medicare angle ramps up.
Smart strategy so far - play the man. Albo wins that one.
Now for Medicare battle.
Whatever is said both are full of shit. Dutton will say we will spend (insert whatever number) and fix Laborâs mess. The spending promises from everyone is just fake nonsense numbers.
Nothing will happen either way post election. Greens will run the show. Canât wait for this to be over.

What? Australia is going to end?
Yea itâs going down under
I hope you fellow Aussies have better voting options in your electorate than mine of Wide Bay: 1 Indy, Green and ALP. Then after that, things fall off a cliff: One Nation, Trumpet of Fascists, Family First and LNP. Oof.

trumpet of patriotsâŚ
i mean, its not even a literate use of three wordsâŚit means nothingâŚ
its half funny, half devastatingâŚ
you litterally dont know whether to laugh or cryâŚat least the âmonster raving looney partyâ and âbinny mcbinfaceâ werent being seriousâŚ
The only option you are missing is a separate liberal and national it would seem? I know QLD thought merging the two would produce an improvement but itâs just a mutation of all the worst bits ignorant and idiotic. The greens, independents and Labor candidates can all at least be considered surely?
- Indy (I like the cut of Caseyâs jib), 2. Green, 3. Labor. After that, maybe family first is the least worst.
No worries!
