True, but their target market is not us, but the Asian people who are not permitted to gamble in their own countries. Superstar cruises load up their ships in Singapore with Asian gamblers who go into the on-board casino and do not emerge till the voyage is over.We had a Bluebird car here decked out with pokies that the blue rinses would board for trips to Broken Hill to play on the way when such devices were formerly prohibited in SA.
Maybe he is just getting down to work instead of prancing around the place like the last PM.And the two before...
Maybe he is just getting down to work instead of prancing around the place like the last PM.....and maybe not. Maybe he is merely giving the impression of getting down to work etc. After all, giving the impression(s) of, is what politics is all about, isn't it? As in, not what is, but what is seen to be.

Albo * Shorten both said that Labor was wrong about putting single parents on New Start instead of the single parent pension. But did they not go far enough?As someone who worked in Job Network type jobs for some years I have to agree with that; some women (occasionally dads) had no concept of the need to get off their behinds and participate in society like normal people; raising kids isn't that hard once they're off being institutionalised at school. Why should you be paid to sit at home watching Ellen drinking cheap cask wine? All Parenting Payment advocated was incentive to have another baby once you were in danger of losing it - not the best reason to bring kids into the world.
I wonder how many votes they would have got if they were to scrap the single parent pension, except in exceptional circumstances? Just have the Aged/Senior pension, and disabled pension.
I'm not saying I agree or disagree with it, but just asking a question.This type of luddite behaviour really annoys me. If billions of dollars of financial transactions can be handled online each day, on what grounds can they dismiss electronic voting?
Hacking fear if electronic vote replaces pencil, paper:

This type of luddite behaviour really annoys me. If billions of dollars of financial transactions can be handled online each day, on what grounds can they dismiss electronic voting?Exactly! Because some old guy sitting there who can barely master looking your name up on a alphabetical list asking 'Have you voted in this election before?' is security level expert.
Also, it might be time to start a new thread about the performance of the new government rather than carry on this one about the election (as it's long since been run!).Duly noted. Please, be our guest...
