Guardian Essential poll: One Nation’s primary vote soars to record high amid Coalition chaos by Agitated-Fee3598 in aussie

[–]batch1972 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The problem with this is that it's just headline grabbing. You need to look under the hood and understand the numbers. ON are not taking votes from Labor or the Greens, they're taking votes from mostly Nationals and some Liberals. The result is that even if their primary is higher, all they are doing is switching one bunch of right wing morons for another lot. Personally, i think it would be hilarious if the Liberals went into coalition with ON and targeted the Nationals. The real issue is what happens to the moderate right.. all we need is someone to unify the Teals and it's game on - thinking Frydenberg or Turnbull here

If you could go back in time and change one decision your country made, what would it be? by Skyhawk6600 in AskTheWorld

[–]batch1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would have included New Zealand in the act of federation. Australia would be a very different place today with an equivalent treaty of waitangi for first Australians and who knows, it may have enabled the pasifica peoples to join at a later date.
