I vote we all go fishing and forget politics, cheers davo :cheers:
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

I love my fishing but no there are way more serious and very more important issues that are priority in life fishing is ok with either of the major party’s as long it is not greens then we are talking seriously a problem.

I don't mind conservationist like truedogz and the like
Greenies are another thing, can't shoot a feral cat as it may be someone's pet
Can't catch fish because you hurt their mouth etc

Hopefully some independent who can make a difference.
Libs, Lab & lastly useless Greens are mostly a bunch of people without the common decency to do the right thing when nobody is looking.
Tried to watch talking fishing this week but turned it of the second I saw the political circus there.
Still no satifactory answer on AGL in Westernport, so I presume it's going to be implemented regardless & most people forget how we sell our gas overseas for peanuts & now have to buy back & stuff up another natural heritage.
So please remind me how most pollies have a backbone, are pillars of society, good & honest.... :rofl: Not. :down:

Nope. Politicians are, for the most part, out of touch. The rest of us -- whether we're primary school teachers or plumbers or surgeons or dressmakers or cooks or deckhands, 'Australians' or refugees or whatever -- need to pay for our breakfast, beer, and childcare. If we want to go to the football, a friend's wedding, or a family trip we've got to pay for it. The politicians -- especially those from major parties -- live in a different world. Those from minor parties are usually just as guilty of game-playing or pretending to live for some sort of interest group (whether it's the environmentalists, the racists, the fishermen, or motorists seems to make little difference) while dipping their snouts into the trough.

But, with that being said, it's the day-to-day stuff. If you do something and I don't have to wait at my local level crossing for ten minutes every day? That's nice, I suppose. It could've been done more efficiently, to be sure. And, no, I didn't like forking out for a road we'll never get to drive on. And, yes, I know there's a million other things could've spent the money on ... but, hey, it's not like the other bunch -- or even a hypothetical coalition of minor parties -- would be perfect either. I work in a school, and have a strong opinion about the Opposition wanting to bring back religious education during class time. And, too, I was deeply bothered by them making a song and dance about the EBA the professional firefighters got. Like, sure, it was really generous ... but I just didn't have it in me to be offended by the State being kind to people who earn a crust running into burning buildings. I have a bigger problem with obscene pensions and the amount of 'holidays' our politicians get. I'm glad I live in a marginal seat. Whoever wins will do whatever we want just so they can stay in power at the following election. I couldn't imagine being 'loyal' to any one party.
