Midfielder Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hand on heart not the other thing .... the ALP needs to reinvent itself and present itself as a modern thinking government ..... their last campaign was IMO the worst campaign ever run by a federal opposition... I hope Albo is the man but so far I doubt it... IMO they need to create a number of modern polices and get away from class structured arguments. wendybr 1 Link to comment

wendybr Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 I cried a week ago when I heard that estimates of wildlife loses due to the fires was 248 million creatures. I'm numb now when I hear the current estimate is 480 million. This is devastation. Wobblies 1 Link to comment
wendybr Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 And with our govt's focus on the economy, will they care and pay attention a little more as the CC catastrophe start to bite into the economy. 4 Cruise ship visits to Kangaroo Is, which has gone up in flames, have been cancelled in recent days. Who'd want to pull into Sydney Harbour on a cruiseliner this Summer? Tip of a likely iceberg, I suspect. StringerBellend 1 Link to comment

We get crap from politicians if we aren't paying very close attention, my friend. Well even then, we still get crap, but it pays to pay attention.... because politics affects almost everything.

At first I thought...that's going a bit far. Now, I think he is a conscience-less liar (see his version of his "conversation" with the pregnant woman in Cobargo) and yeah....probably something more. Smooth as in this lengthy press conference I've been watching ...pointing out that, "without being asked"......he's now stepping in with federal support. Fire fighting planes coming in in a week or two....only 2-3 months too late to have lessened the damage already done. And only...what?....8-9 months later than he was asked to bring them in by the ex fire chiefs. And congrats Penrith dwellers....youve just hit a record of 47.something degrees. But the PM would tell you there's nothing to see there either. sonar, JackDoff, Neverbloom and 1 other 4 Link to comment
