    Well, I tend to think I'm more focused on middle Australia too and have at times not voted the way some people think I might because I thought the choice was crap. They have to earn my vote (when I voted), its not a rubber stamp. I'm glad I didn't vote in 2016 as no way in hell could I have voted for MT and likewise BS.

    Yes in I recall you posting that Abbott wouldn't do a Rudd when he was rolled :P
    As for your focus on "middle Australia", isn't that more like  'F ck off I'm all right Jack'. Labor never had your vote with or without "Billy" or those terrible unions.

    I may never qualify for a pension card let alone a pension because we've been too aspirational. However I don't believe it's right that 'right' governments look after the well off at the expense of those supposedly less deserving. Nevertheless I'll take as much LNP socialism as the next 'aspirational' whilst it's on offer.
