Sounds odd I mean all Newman did was the same thing as all the other LNP leaders. Sell assets and take rural Queenslanders for granted.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I debate here too and take non-standard positions but the difference is your posts are contrarian by nature by solely taking the position of "if i was one of Howards Battlers what would my view be" which isn't a position for allies but seems to milquetoast debating tactics ala IWC.

I'm not debating anyone. I'm just stating plainly the differing views out there and this thread's first option is to demonise and score big red ticks rather than respond with something constructive regarding what I consider to be insulated family types that operate at a political surface level. These aren't just nuffie LNP rusted ons, they're all over the shop.

You act like we don't know these views exist, we do. Just because shithead Australians hold those views doesn't actually make them good or desirable to pursue.

Unless you only care about getting votes to hold power and are happy with the status quo, which you seem to be all about.

This time of day it'd be crowded as gently caress too, then add in this time of year and just, gently caress.

That's the plan, but it's not so much for safety as it is to kill off the night time food places there so everyone who hangs out in the area moves on. I.e Melb City Council just wants homeless people to not be visible.

Some oval office has run over a bunch of people at the Ezliabeth st exit of Flinders St station. 12 heading to hospital, 1 critical.

Seems intentional according to people on twitter, he was driving fast.

Sure, I'm just saying it wasn't someone who ran a red. It doesn't seem like someone who was having a stroke and floored it either, given they arrested the driver and didn't put him in an ambulance.
