Talking Politics

Well maybe we take the same viewpoint as you do on other issues. I don't care unless it affects me, so frankly I don't care about your situation because its different to mine.

Or maybe I should join in with your ridiculous statement about me selling in Soho, go sell some Bintang singlets in Bali.

Just bought two medium size onions at local Coles for $1.86. .0.93 cents for an onion . Of course Coles Woollies will tell Albo' investigators are not ripping us or the farmers off.

Are you suggesting our federal government should intervene in the market place?

im no fan of the big supermarkets, but if people want the convenience of buying everything in 1 place then the result might be paying extra.
Alternatively if you dont like the prices supermarkets are charging, shop elsewhere. there are many, many alternatives, especially for F&V. Alternatives that are typically cheaper and better quality.

Today is a great day for Australia. One of the worst, if not the worst, Prime Ministers this country has ever seen is leaving politics.
*smile* off SCOMO
Thinking about it, I don’t know how the libs can recover from this. Having so many ex ministers leaving parliament in the one hit will decimate them. All that knowledge and experience lost in one fell swoop…………..

I was in Spud Shed today they had 10kg bags for $2.99.

Click on the catalogue to browse.

Yep... I got to Clayton for most of my shopping.

Bread from the Grain Mill
Ham from the Deli down near Centre Rd
Meat from the Butcher in with Hong Kong Supermarket
Fruit and Veg from the big place down the road from HKS
Pita bread ($1.99 not $5) from the fruit and veg across the road from the above
Toothpaste ($2.,99 not $5.50 for a big tube), air freshener ($1.99 not $5) and toothbrushes ($2.49 not $5) from the chemist halfway down, not Chemist Warehouse!
Lots of household stuff from Amazon - bought 85 dishwashing tablets for .29c a pop, at the supers they were over a dollar each...
Next comes Aldi, and lastly the big two money-grubbing, scumbag supermarkets.

Pretty sure I heard on the radio that Coles and Woollies made "record profits" last year. I reckon everyone here saw that one coming...

I reckon if more ppl spent their hard-earned at the local shopping strip, they would not only help true local, small businesses, but save lots of cash in the process.

Yes, there are significant savings to be had by being prudent. We rarely shop at Coles and Woolworths.

As someone mentioned further down the page, Billy Mc Pogue Mahone was fairly ordinary, n who could forget old mate Koff Whitless. There's a few reasons he n his mates got sacked. Then we can put in an honorable mention for Juliar Gilligan who simply wedged open the door for the Labor party to tell any and all possible lies to get elected. Nude nut Karret, while never a P.M. who went from agro muso activist to Labor brown nose who also advocated that once elected they could remake any rules they wanted, strong support for Juliar's truth telling policies. Now we have the new kid on the block in Knees n Elbows. Has he actually kept a promise yet??? Him n Jimmy Choo doing a great job of feeding the Oz public with bucket loads of *smile* these last two years.

They're politicians Sinner. You keep listening to them n believing them and they're happy to *smile* all over you n tell you it's a nice warm summer rain.

Yep. Just gotta spend a little time n energy hunting around some of the smaller traders or markets instead of blindly walking into the corporate conglomerate n bending over.

I like everything about this post except for buying from Amazon. I perceive them as attempting to become the world's supermarket and will resist buying anything from them. Never bought anything for myself there, only work related products, and even then it's only when there is no reasonable local alternative.

Yes Howard lost his seat as a sitting PM, did enormous harm and retained his reputation largely, no mean feat.

Yep, he has certainly kept his reputation as a lying scumbag.

Yeah, the RWNJs are a bunch of snowflakes - they dish it out, but they go all pathetic when it's thrown back at them.

Sorry TM I can’t follow this post

I have had quite a bit to do with politicians over the last 10-12 years. Like all human beings there are good ones and bad ones. Don’t fall for the trap of thinking that because they are a politician they are bad people, because that certainly isn’t true for all of them. Some yes

The thing with the amazon purchase was that I had looked everywhere else and was astonished at the rip-off prices.

The next thing, most of the stuff sold on there is sold by people independent of Amazon. But yeah, I am not a fan of it either but sometimes you just gotta dance with the devil! :D
 
Dutton and co yelling Liar from every corner, but I'm not sure they are going to get much traction. These tax cuts make 11 in 12 Aussie better off. The 1 in 12 still get a cut too.

Not sure they can win this

Great isn't it.

Morrison wedged Labor with the stage 3 tax cuts, now Dutton and the Libs are finding out what it feels like to cop a wedgie. Albo has bent them over, and they're squealing more than that scene from Deliverance.

Apart from anything else this whole idea that an elected government has to do everything exactly as per their election policies over an ensuing 3-4 year period is such a flawed idea.
Things change.
The idea that 11 out of 12 Australians should be worse off because an election commitment should not be changed is such a crock

About time they got rid of yet more tax cuts for the rich. The tax cuts were basically trying to move towards a flat tax system. That massive tax bracket between, what, $40K to $200K, was absolutely ridiculous. This is the biggest and best change the government has just made.

As for the "broken promise", whoopee f**ck, how many promises had Dutton broken, and I figure it was just a non-core promise.

A good change to the rubbish policy we started with.
