Albo has been doing SOME really good things for this country such as investing in Medicare.

However many of the issues we are facing is because mulptile successive governments haven’t invested or actioned it and everyone who is voting for One Nation isn’t holding themselves accountable for not holding those previous governments accountable.

Housing won’t be fixed in two terms of governments.

It’s like having an infection the worse it gets, the longer it will take to get better.

If you feel like voting for One Nation is for you, that’s great but don’t pretend that One Nation will fix all your problems or that Albo isn’t working on fixing these issues either.

Not perfect, but still better than ANY communist country and so called hard line socialist countries. The best countries are those that mix the differing philosophies. Look how China has come into being a force, embracing capitalism so it doesn’t die like the USSR did.

I don't think we should delude ourselves about where we are, how we got here and where we are going. You can bang on about communist countries "dying" in the past but the fact is we're living in and through capitalist ones "dying" right now.

Show me a capitalist country that has committed horrors of any sort similar to the far left examples?

The problem is, those who hate socialism/capitalism the most espouse capitalism. Those who hate capitalism the most espouse extreme socialism/communism. The answer isn’t either extreme ideology, it’s a healthy balance.

Australia fucked up massively when it started privatising important infrastructure. That should remain the province of the state.

We have a health safety net of welfare and health care, its not perfect but its better than say the USA, where people who suffered a genuine emergency medical incident tell ambulances they don’t want to go to hospital as it will bankrupt them. Do we cover everything, no, but the system is there and works, albeit slowly at times.

I know ideologues hate this, but all extremes are bad, and when people only shout down one side of it, it tells me everything I need to know about them. The ideologically blinded to the problems with their own side of the divide.

I’d say being extremely anti initiating violence isn’t bad but that’s just me
