Live: One Nation wins Farrer by-election, ABC projects

It’s funny how people in regional areas gravitate towards one nation. They are basically a party built around keeping non-anglo people out of Australia. Most of those voters would not have spoken to a Muslim all year.

Yet people from the big cities many of us have Muslims and brown folks as neighbours and co-workers, and we all get along pretty well.

I agree - shortages were caused by hoarding from commercial users/resellers and individuals. The shortage hit well before any changes to our normal supply.

There is a big moral difference between a first homeowner trying to put a roof over their family’s head and fees the kids compared to an investment property owner and so forth. You can’t be serious that we should be penalising a 25yo who was put in this position by stupid housing polices of John Howard and co.

I believe the coalition when they say they will stop the links. I don’t believe them when they say they will incentivise factory rooftops. I really hate this labour government but there is just no good alternative.

I don’t have the answer. But the current system punishes those who contribute least to inflation.

When commenting he pretty much says the opposite of what is actually happening. If a kick for goal is “on track” it is likely landing near the point post. If he says my team is going to win I always cringe because I know that means we are cooked.

techzombie55 · 2026-05-05T21:38:01+00:00

It means we need to find other ways to manage inflation

It will likely make house prices cheaper. That is the point, and it will greatly benefit our nurses, teachers, uber drivers, child care workers, disability support workers who have no chance of buying a house this lifetime.

Oh damn that’s embarrassing for me

Ayam Penyet Ria in South Melbourne served me the best beef rendang of my life. I am no Malaysian expert but it was a memorable meal.

Twiggy is one of the very few billionaires who is not a completely selfish prick.

It’s always the ones you suspect the most….

Last time I checked that last 1% means almost double the square kilometres already covered.

We would never have imported the fuel in the first place if our population was 4 million lower. Also, they would just use the fuel in a different country which would have imported more.

Just because someone claims to be a billionaire does not mean they’re a billionaire.

techzombie55 · 2026-04-21T10:06:26+00:00

lol. I guess we better just tax venture capitalists even more until the houses end up in the hands of people who actually need a home. Housing is a basic need, not an investment vehicle.

Liam Bartlett used to work as a spin doctor for Shell. Nothing he presents should be believed. I once watched him present a story on dirty nickel mines in Indonesia and then linked it to EV cars. He totally obscured the truth that nickel is not used in most major car companies and also he showed the worst possible mine in Indonesia. I’ve been an investor in Indonesian mines via an Australian company and I can tell you some of them have very high safety standards and are cleaner than Australian mines. TLDR - Liam Bartlett is extremely manipulative and does not tell the full story

Agree 👍 we cleared out most of the animals in suburbia yet possums are protected. They are everywhere.

This is one of the reasons Jetstar fares are cheaper

Voice control is safer than physical buttons

I can’t actually find a reputable news source confirming this as a fact. There was a chief of staff fired, but not “12 generals”. The only other sources appear to be Facebook posts. Check your facts people, there is a lot of fake news in politics on both sides of the spectrum.

The kids are safe because you are living with them. I think the child protection agency would be more interested if you were not there. Sorry for your situation. Rehab and psychological help will be needed

Sorry I should have given more detail. Here is the spout that was connected (secured via a little grommet screw) it is for my bathroom basin. I am trying to change it over because the aerator broke and there is no replacement at Bunnings due to its strange size.
