The main problem as I see it is that we elect a leader only for their party to stab them in the back and we end up getting the (((special pick))) instead.
Our nation has become a running international joke. Foreign dignitaries laugh about which Australian PM they're going to meet this week.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

You guys ever heard of
Independent Man? He's kinda like our version of Black Pigeon Speaks. He's done some good videos about the Aussie media's horrendous treatment of Cassie Jaye.

That's because Pauline Hanson is not a viable candidate.
She may have the backbone to speak her mind, yet it's her poor diction & presentation (& notorious history) which means she'll never get mass support.
Plus, even though she does have the backbone to speak her mind, she's not exactly a genuinely inspiring figure.
In this day & age, it takes some rather special qualities to persist on a distinctly nationalist platform, while also being able to generate legit popular support.
As odd as it is for me of all people to say it, I'd rather Mark Latham make a serious go at it these days, yet even he can be a bit of a blowhard at times.
The opportunity is really there for someone to do what Trump did in an Australian context..., yet no one comes to mind.
Plus the Westminster system doesn't allow a wealthy, rogue, outsider candidate to swan in & take it all.
Far too much party politics to contend with.
Or perhaps..., if we were to somehow merge Pauline Hanson with Mark Latham...?

Yeah, pauline has some pretty strong leftist tendencies (govt control of private enterprise) which will not work well. Funnily enough Australia has gone so far to the left that the former Labor head (Latham) is now seen as a right wing radical. If a few minorities parties (lib dems, one nation, etc) and the 'right' of the labor and libs can team up under Latham there may be a viable 3rd alternative. Unlikely to happen so i wont hold my breath.

Been here for a while, but I think the faggots here are going to have a very short-lived people's revolution.
Their movement on Australian soil is still in its infancy at a time when public opinion is already swaying back towards the right in a serious way.

I've been 'lucky' enough to witness ANTIFA's antics first hand a few months back, words cannot describe their level of insanity. Funnily enough the crowd they were protesting against had a much more diverse crowd (old, young, white, asians, ex muslims, working/middle/upper class) yet you wouldn't be able to ascertain that from the MSM account.
They were also extremely violent, assaulting a few elderly defenceless men in their 70s whilst the undercover police who were there remained silent/passive. Many also appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and high as a kite.

That cunt is part of a concerted effort by Muslim "academics" to undermine Christian nations by whipping up anti-colonial sentiment among the natives.
Natives I hasten to add who under islam would be converted or put to the sword, since they are neither Jews or Christians and therefore according to the koran not even to be suffered to live in slavery.

I actually support gay marriage.I see it as the only way fathers will get more rights in a warped way.Havig been divorced I will never marry again.I also have kids so I'm not looking for mother material.
I figure gay marriage might equalise father's plight in the judges eyes as fathers take on both roles.
The most invisible men in Australia are single fathers.

The gay rights movement is just one of the dozens of angles of assault on heterosexual men.
Gay marriage will not "equalise (the) father's plight in the judges eyes". There was a time we all wished that if we gave everyone else rights then they would respect ours. We have no more excuses for believing that any more.

^ I'm still shaking my head over Armytage.
We came back to where I'm staying last night from visiting at the hospital, only for one of the six women to discover her electric kettle had died.
The hysteria that followed once they realised that they were denied their coffee! Trying to figure out who last used it. Blaming each other for doing something to the kettle. Arguing over where they could get one 'at this time of night'. Deciding who should make the drive because it was cold, and then obviously-deciding I should do it.
They came to look for me, no doubt about to launch into a campaign to butter me up. Not one of them noticed I was already drinking a cup of hot tea because I'd left the room ten minutes ago at the start of the drama, and gone and put a saucepan of water on the kitchen stovetop to boil, really, really wanting a cuppa.
The sad part is, not one of them noticed or commented on where the hot water came from, even when I said "Let me finish my cuppa first."
Stop to think that four of these women have university degrees.
As I walked out the door - it was a good excuse to not be obligated to hang around - I stopped and lit my cigarette on the gas hob, just like my grandfather used to do. They still didn't get it, and, obviously didn't, judging by the way they pounced on me when I returned with a new Kettle.
As I'm aging, I can see why he spent so much time outside in the garden.
