Barnaby said it best. Pauline offers the sort of hope that the country is looking for.
But is that hope warranted or just wishful thinking ?
is the high voting for One nation just a sign of general discontent.
No party in our political history has a bigger job than the disparate elements of discontent that will continue to vote One Nation -
1. Can anyone tell the dependants that they cannot have what they don't pay for ?The ongoing hidden challenge that comes from our overly urbanised electorates full of dependencies.
2. Can anyone make any headway with real reform if they are driven to power on reaction ( eg threats from migrants
2. Where is the staying power of real progress is empty reform agendas? The lack of coherent policies to provide a sustainable basis for the party
Positives
Unlike all the complete light weights who float to the top of their old party preference sheet , Pauline has the guts to stick up for those who are actually losing to the empty rhetoric of the big party pleasers.
She may not be able to reverse the economic excesses of former governments, but IMO, she might ,with a good team of straight talking competents form new coalitions who build on regional wisdom in particular.
Nothing carries weight like a woman who is much the same as she was when she started.
To keep at it for all these decades.
Limp lefties
Love it how she is not like Joel F , who like so many old chatterers , doesn't know enough to be hard , positive and productive.
Joel does not know why Greenlabor has killed competence in a stupid and vain ambition to change the atmosphere and human nature. ( both supreme vanities)
Joel Fitzibonns, for all his love of country, should be shocked and repentant about his reliance on feelings ( esp negative ) not logic .
Anyone who relies on slander and snide like the ABC have been doing for decades will eventually fail.
Labor's cynical old mates do not know young people or recognise the now wet cancelling ammunition they have been relying on. It shows how pathetically weak the Progressive's position is because they aim so low.
Conservatives will continue to ditch the Progressives (That grand group whose hope has become The State -- the new aristo crats?) because they do not know or acknowledge the way to be positive in the face of the enemies of the worst of human nature (Study Jung who would reject the progressive move towards tyranny.
Pauline is stronger than most because she has had to fight for every inch.
I wish her well in a job that will be too big for her, As long as she shares that job with all the passionate competent who she should choose, she can do great things.
Humility remains one of the biggest challenges because many of our people only want more and will not easily vote for more short term pain for the long term gains possible esp if we stop trying to change the world and the world's atmosphere.
The threat to actually find a better place for all is very fragile because our wealthy don't want to share. but should. I pray that the young people of Australia will prove the pathetically cynical progressives wrong and get behind One nation (prove Joel wrong) and make the place fairer ( for eg support for regional industry and employment )
But taking advice and knowing who to trust to judge the praxis and the principle ( esp in a climate of enormous wastage by previous groups) is key.
To the overly comfortable Libs, labor and Nats --You lost one of your own
