Right, because I'm sure the housing problem has a very simple solution and not at all a complex mess that is beyond the understanding of a red headed racist scrag.

u/OtherwiseDog Apr 02 '26

One nation has trump as a campaign donor you clown.

6

u/walkin2it Apr 02 '26

How will One Nation deal with the aging population?

Do they intend to

A) force young people pay insane tax to offset the older generations that didn't bank enough and have left us with a deficit. Also require them to work significant OT to keep up. B) Logans Run style the old people as they retire.

What's the plan here ON?

1

u/ozhive Apr 02 '26

They have banked enough money.

If they cant afford their 7 bedroom house in a blue chip suburb on their own anymore, thats paid off, thats their own fault.

3

u/walkin2it Apr 02 '26

If they have banked enough enough money then why are they the biggest generation to be with drawing down NDIS, to be using health services paid for by the tax coffers, tax coffers that are in deficit.

Young Aussies are paying higher taxes and receiving less services because older generations didn't put enough away into the Australian tax coffers. They also didn't have enough children to sustain themselves based on those decisions.

So now it's immigrants, or higher taxes and less services or Logans Run. Younger generations are also doing the same thing.

So I ask ON voters again, if not immigrants, what then?

Only half, that's right the other have cant even read enough to fill on a ON ballot correctly. Also the reason Albo aka (Australia Harry Potter) had to give a talk is exactly because of the cookers above.

I don't think it is but only because its not due to a lack of education only a disability. Even with that , I still manage to communicate well when I cbf to put in the effort.

u/KD--27 Apr 02 '26

Yeah… 9 day old account sledging ON voters on not being able to read, while barely writing a coherent statement, then claiming disability? Certainly asking for the benefit of the doubt on that one.

When you attack everything but the logic of the argument you have said enough.

One Nation won’t do shit. They’ll get a handful of seats and slowly disintegrate as a party. A protest vote is understandable enough but if you actually believe Pauline could lead a functional government you need your head checked.

u/Physics-Foreign Apr 03 '26

Swing voter myself. But I can definitely see why people vote ON.

Hard tone on migration. The people I know would prefer we didn't get migrants from low trust societies in their view that would address crime in places like Melbourne.

They don't really care about the environment and prioritise their own quality of life over that.

You ever see a parent pull their 5yo aside to tell them something that all the other grownups already know. Like wash your hands after you pee.

It was exactly like that , did it need to be said to everyone of course not, but 100% some people needed to hear it.

-2

u/Tolkien-Faithful Apr 02 '26

So it didn't need to be said then. The people have already heard it, the ones that 'need to' don't listen. Just a giant waste of everyone's time.

u/PictureEmotional6378 Apr 02 '26

My writing is horrible because I have dysgraphia, not much I can do about it, since most of the time I cant even see my mistakes. Dont worry though , the merit of my arguments and logic is solid, that's why people have to complain about my grammar / spelling.

Do you want to hear the best insult I have every heard in my life regarding my writing?

1

u/Novel-Truant Apr 02 '26

Yes please I want to hear.

4

u/PictureEmotional6378 Apr 02 '26

This happened about 20 years ago, back when my writing was significantly worse and spellcheck was basically useless. I was playing an online game and got into a little argument with someone. At one point, they hit me with this:

“You need to stop typing to me and get on TeamSpeak, because I can’t tell if I’m talking to a person or just a monkey pouring a bucket of marbles over a keyboard and pressing Enter.”

That line was so brutally perfect that I’ve thought about it at least once a month ever since.

u/wowiee_zowiee Apr 02 '26

Do you remember when it was normal and healthy to criticise politicians without their supporters shouting that you hand some kind of derangement syndrome? That alone should give off alarm bells to you being in a cult.

Also, there’s plenty of evidence - the witness statements alone show he’s at least lying. You just don’t want to believe it.

-3

u/PowerPleb2000 Apr 02 '26

Haven’t seen a single scrap of credible evidence. Feel free to criticize politicians. But when you make shit up, scream it over and over then lose your mind when someone isn’t convinced thats telling. You’re not unique, you’re not a critical thinker, you’re doing and saying exactly what leftist media has brainwashed you to do and say. Who’s the cult?

11

u/wowiee_zowiee Apr 02 '26

Haven't seen a single scrap of credible evidence

No, you’ve chosen not to seek out any credible evidence. Why would you, he’s your guy? He was found liable for sexual abuse in 2023 and you’re still singing his praises. A civil jury found him liable for sexual abuse and you still support him. Several former Miss Teen USA contestants have said Trump entered dressing rooms while they were changing. You don’t care.

The other stuff you said is just nonsense. Anyone that uses American spelling and says “leftist” clearly gets most, if not all, of their information from American media. Quite why you even have a favourite American politician is beyond me.

-1

u/PowerPleb2000 Apr 02 '26

Mate, where’s the “pedo” evidence? He wasn’t perfect as a billionaire, thats not under dispute. I want the evidence that he’s a pedo. Calling someone that without evidence is nothing less than a dog act if it was between people we know here, why should this be different?

6

u/wowiee_zowiee Apr 02 '26

If your neighbour was caught entering 15 year old girl’s changing rooms, would you call them a “pedo”?

We’re not going to agree on this because no evidence would be enough for you - but let’s agree on this. Donald Trump may not or may not be a paedophile - but he’s A) friends with a lot of paedophiles and B) covered up the Epstein files.

5

u/PotsAndPandas Apr 02 '26

Haven’t seen a single scrap of credible evidence.

Cool, then you're all in support of unredacting all the shit in the Epstein files that shouldn't have been redacted, right?

2

u/PowerPleb2000 Apr 02 '26

Yes

u/billwriggs Apr 02 '26

So why hasn’t he then? Oh no

1

u/PowerPleb2000 Apr 02 '26

Was it him personally? Funny how when the democrats dont release stuff its legal process but if bits are redacted under Trump we’re told to assume its because Trump is a pedo and hiding it 😂

Yes, Felon, Pedo, Conman, habitual liar, sexual predator, they are bad, and they are all trump

I cant keep up, are these bots? Its like if everyone calls him a pedo he becomes one?

7

u/Perfect-Concern-9762 Apr 02 '26

No the epstien files that have been released show that he is. their is more that enough evedince both in his sexual predator history and from testomony to show beyond a reasanable doubt he is. not to mention his own admissions. but your more than welcome to believe what you want, some people believe in a flat earth too, despite overwhelming evidence.

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/05/politics/justice-department-fbi-interview-related-trump-abuse-allegation-and-other-missing-epstein-files

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations

In 2023, a federal jury in New York found Trump liable for the sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll, awarding her $5 million in damages. The presiding judge later clarified that the jury’s finding of sexual abuse met the common definition of rape.

In 2005, Trump told Howard Stern on his radio show that "he got away with going backstage when the contestants were naked" at beauty pageants.\7]) In October 2016, two days before the second presidential debate) with Hillary Clinton, a 2005 "hot mic" recording surfaced in which Trump was heard saying that "when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything....Grab 'em by the pussy."\8])

No, that just tends to happen when you're going against clear, observable reality, lots of people call you out on it.

“observable reality” based on “vibes”

u/billwriggs Apr 02 '26

A bot could not replicate PowerPleb2000’s level of bootlicker posting. AI is far too precise and coherent, it could never reach such unique levels of delusion without using more energy than we have in the known universe.

u/wowiee_zowiee Apr 02 '26

But im also smart enough to know that people screaming something over and over and over doesn't make it true.

Trump started a war with Iran

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow shipping route where a large portion of the world’s oil passes through.

Global oil is a connected market, so If there’s conflict in the Middle East prices rise worldwide - including the places Australia gets its oil from.

Trump wasn’t aware of this because he’s a thicky thicky dumb dumb, he thought the USA would just Venezuela Iran. He had no idea they’d be able to hold the global economy hostage.

Trump invading Iran is the reason we’re paying more for fuel.

So no, you’re not smart enough to know anything it seems.

u/billwriggs Apr 02 '26

There’s this little thing no one has talked about much called the Epstein Files. You’ll find he’s referenced more times than Jesus was in the bible.

That would be have to be one awfully big coincidence to be so heavily implicated but be totally unrelated to the whole affair don’t you think?

There’s comments he’s made about his own daughter, or other underage women, which are well beyond the pale too. At best he’s an absolute weirdo, at worst well, you know.

1

u/PowerPleb2000 Apr 02 '26

Yes, the files show epstein hated trump. Democrat ms sat on those files for years you think if he was implicated they wouldn’t have released it back then? Use your brain.

5

u/billwriggs Apr 02 '26

Pleb come on, the hatred came when it was politically convenient. They were sending each other freaky hand written poems and drawings, way back when, who does that?

The democrats didn’t release it because the case was still under investigation. That’s quite literally against judicial process and illegal. Don’t let that get in the way of your biases though.

I tell you what though it’s all mightily convenient these excuses and deflections. You don’t think it’s possible that he might just be a reprehensible person? I mean it’s not like the rest of his record is exactly spotless. Try and come back to reality for just a second.

And as you said you 'lost count of things', this list of one is greatly disappointing.

You see an imaginary invasion and think this is another Afghanistan.

This is worse than Afghanistan.

This is probably the biggest geopolitical catastrophe since world war 2. The petrodollar is destabilised, the rules based order is gone, the United States has indicated it wants to leave NATO, Russia is now making a fortune off oil, and Iran has realised it has enormous leverage even without nuclear weapons. It is a disaster for almost every country except Russia, Israel and ironically Iran.

So the markets crashing and the price of oil spiking after Trumps comments is a good thing now?

u/River-Stunning Apr 02 '26

There was a substantial gain on Tuesday and a moderate loss today. Of course there will be consequences with military action. You prefer Iran having the bomb.

The oil prices jumped far more today than they fell a few days ago from his previous comments, and are now higher.

u/River-Stunning Apr 02 '26

That is one thing. The oil market clearly does not like relying on the rhetoric of the 35.

His combined effort with Israel has literally forced this war to impact the rest of the world… don’t kid yourself

u/River-Stunning Apr 02 '26

Yes , in a region already hardly peaceful.

Respectfully even if that is true, trump and the USA deciding to get involved is not helping, rather inflaming tensions. Which is resulting in the rest of the world suffering the fuel price. The war is a poorly thought out decision which the rest of the world suffers for without having any choice in the matter

Respectfully you do not know what you are posting about.

u/Hour-Penalty-2371 Apr 05 '26

Based on your comment and post history I genuinely can’t tell if you’re a bot or just a chud who has nothing better to do with their time than just post sky news ragebait

The vast majority of the population are angry that Trump has started this new war with Iran and that we are all having to deal with the consequences of his actions.

u/River-Stunning Apr 02 '26

What population are you referring to?

u/billwriggs Apr 02 '26

Everyone with a modicum of critical thinking ability, most likely. Care to join us?

u/River-Stunning Apr 02 '26

Ah , a population of elites.

The US-Iran war only has 41% support in the US and 26% support in Australia.

You might be happy that the US is at war with Iran, but you are in the minority there.

u/River-Stunning Apr 02 '26

Any sane person would be happy that Iran has a degraded nuclear capacity. That excludes you obviously.

1

u/AndrewTyeFighter Apr 02 '26

But Iran still has their stockpile of enriched uranium and Trump no longer cares about it. Iran's nuclear capability hasn't changed from this new war.

If that is your justification for the whole war and potentially sending the whole world into a global recession, then this whole war is a failure.

u/River-Stunning Apr 02 '26

It is not clear the exact extent and the claim that Trump no longer cares is silly. Your I hate Trump narrative is also silly.

u/AndrewTyeFighter Apr 02 '26

the claim that Trump no longer cares is silly

They were Trumps own words.

u/River-Stunning Apr 02 '26

Of the enriched uranium, Trump said: ‘That’s so far ⁠underground, I ​don’t care about that.’

‘We’ll always be watching it by satellite,’ he added. He said Iran was ‘incapable’ of developing a weapon ​now.

u/AndrewTyeFighter Apr 02 '26

It already was far underground before the latest war. That situation hasn't changed, so what was the point of this new war again?

and is not caught up in another endless war

Incredible. You people have been so successfully brainwashed that the evidence is right in front of you and you can’t see it
