I thought this election was done and dusted. Most new comers backed the team with the free bilby and free Visas. That was predictable. We do not have a direct democracy here in Australia; therefore, it does not matter much if you vote for the free bilby or the free bunny. The team with the bunnies is now quickly transforming itself to hand out bilbies at the next election as well. No more (or far less) free chocolate bunnies they will use as bait. Does it matter? NO.Its now all about spending, growing at all costs or hit the wall. That will apply to both parties. We are trapped. What does it have to with VMX ? Lots. Just compare the scene from 1990 to now……

Years ago I made my own to build the 88mm long stroke cranks. Use C45 steel , hard chrome it and then grind it down to the perfect size H7 or F7 (ISO tolerance ). Any good machine shop can do it for you . Warm the outer and freeze the pin to assemble .

« on: May 09, 2025, 01:11:09 pm »Hi Paul, in response to your post. I am happy with my life. I have done many things other people can only dream of. I raced or ridden in every continent but Africa with a positive mix of achievements and experiences. Lucky to share 4 kids with my wife of 36 years and all 4 have a degree. I would not call that miserable at all. Business is also doing well. As far as your labelling goes, all could not be further from the truth. I am a conservation green person (not a woke wierdo greenie LOL). My hobby is to preserve and breed endangered native species up to class 3. Yes, I am stuck with the old values and I believe they could be fashionable again in the not-so-distant future. My energy comes from the roof, the water from the tank, vegetables fruit, fish, eggs, and meat from my own land. If that makes me a right-wing propagandist, I am happy to live with that. I would not swap with you LOL.Wow, about 60% of voters want more immigration, continued housing shortage, more crime, more inflation, more woke stuff, more pollution, more clever indoctrination starting at Kindy all the way till Uni and mass sporting events. I rest my case.
If there was a subject to study in right wing propaganda and specious talking points, you'd have a doctorate.
You and Andrew Bolt need to buy yourselves a couple of mirrors and look long and hard into them for the first time in your miserable lives.
Go on Boomer, we'll wait while you finish your banal whining.

Australia is no longer the conservative country of old, the events from overseas do effect a trading nation usually detrimental for the sitting party who distanced themselves from it. Younger and undecided people dont vote for who they want rather they vote against who they dont want which is evident by the results for the green and other minor parties losing seats. In short the coalition campaign could have been run better by virtually anybody. I feel the worst is some big names from the front bench who were complicit to the mess still appear to hold the same mind set and Australia deserves much better and a modern party who listens and represents a modern Australia.
A good composed post pokey. However I feel an election should not be on selling grounds and false promises and goodies on offer. I also feel there is no need to fall in line with rest of the "modern" world .Me and many others feel betrayed by that. What is wrong with the old proven values?Just because the rest of the world is off the rails we dont need to copy that behavior.This global lunacy is about coming to the pointy end soon. Will it be the climate or the money market that buckle first?

Hard core liberal member sent me a PM about "his" disastrous weekend . I thought I share my reply. "Hi David, do not be too sad about the result. We are only a play ball to mask up the major party’s game. I look at it this way. The blue team sells chocolate bunnies and the red team the bilbies. Both are manufactured under Halal conditions (not exclude the Muslim voters) by Cadbury and then sold at sabbatical conditions by the Goldstein empire to the red and blue team. It is the same chocolate and the usual people made the profit. Both parties toe the line by the same power people….."
