What Thinking Australians Are Thinking
If I were Malcolm Turnbull I wouldn’t be the least bit concerned about his drop in popularity since the election. Quite frankly, I don’t think the average Australian knows what they want, expect or deserve from the government, just so long as taxes are minimised and a...

The trouble with the politically correct and group thinkers, particularly many of the politically correct young who have passed through the state education/indoctrination system, is that they can't think for themselves because not only have they had their already...
Random Note #195472 — Those that hope for a Clinton win should then pray it doesn’t happen
POTUS & SCOTUS. Thinking about the US election overnight it occurs to me that those that hope for a Hillary win should then get on their knees and pray that it doesn't happen. Putting aside her well documented, indisputable corrupt behaviour the one thing apart...
