I should have looked closer, at the flag... sorry unlike... somehow we need to find a way to wake up our woke leadership... to build better futures for our grandchildren... not dig deeper holes of contempt and deception... the WHO mismanagement, the failure to use common sense on Vaccines, the Emergency Act abuse of our Charter rights... all have led to the alienation that many are expressing in shocking terms.
God help us to find constructive methods of convincing our leaders to respect our diverse opinions... not treat each other with contempt!
I see a major change in Australian leadership... a new Prime Minister... a surprise?
Cheers

There was always a none-of-the above feel to the head-to-head between the main party leaders. That has been borne out in the results.
Anthony Albanese, then, has achieved an ambiguous victory. There was no great groundswell of support for Labor. Indeed, its primary vote was actually 2% down from 2019, a meagre 32%. Although he is certain to emerge as prime minister, we still do not know whether he will stand at the head of a Labor majority government.
My sense during the campaign was that the Labor leader never fully addressed his prime ministerial plausibility problem. His gaffes did not help (although I think the public became more critical of the press pack's endless gotcha questions rather than his inability to always answer them).
Nonetheless, a politician who was better known for most of his career as a backroom fixer is now front of house, and will occupy the prime ministerial residence, The Lodge. This he will see as vindication of his "small target" campaign and his mantra of "safe change." It will also justify his political shapeshifting, from a left-wing firebrand to a risk-averse pragmatist.
Albanese is the son of a single mother who grew up in public housing in Sydney. His biography doubles as an Australian dream. But the 59-year-old has become better at sharing his backstory than outlining a compelling vision for Australia.
That said, his promise to make the country a renewable energy powerhouse, along with his pledge to adopt the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which is so important to First Nations people, has the potential to give his government a narrative that weaves together the unaddressed challenges of the future and the unfinished business of the past.
Meet Australia's new prime minister
Why Australia's election is big for the planet
Where to now for the Liberals? The corollary of the rise of the independents has been the fall of the moderate conservatives they ousted.

In Wentworth, the Liberal MP Dave Sharma argued that the party would become more like the Republican Party in America if he and his moderate colleagues were ousted, and that warning may well be borne out.
With the departing Treasurer Josh Frydenberg likely to be defeated in Kooyong, the departing Defence Minister Peter Dutton instantly becomes the frontrunner for the leadership. This former policeman would take the party on a more rightward trajectory.
The federal election has made politics here greener, more feminine and, at a time of creeping Americanisation, more emphatically Australian.
Perhaps the overwhelming message from voters is that they want a different kind of politics. Certainly, 2022 will be remembered for its shock to the system result."

Let's hope we can get a stretch of good weather with some heat and get some seed into the ground before the next rain.

Sadly , the flags displayed won't change anything but what has caused the flags because of Trudeau will last for a long time.
Cause and affect. Trudeau is the one that started the " p**** Trudeau " flag bearing. He and his followers are too arrogant to realize it.
The effect is it is bad for the entire country.
Not the fact that everyone has an F trudeau flag.

The denial of the freedom of our human spirit…
The hope of humanity, our faith, our respect for one another… lost in arrogance and deception ….
God have mercy on us for our hard hearts.

A reminder for me, if you missed that part… I am not at all pleased with our PM… how we present ourselves to our grandchildren is important.
