Well, they would probably just get lectured down under, as it happens here.

They’re getting what they voted for. Aren’t they?

Just like everywhere else that has “free and fair” elections........ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

One of the things I’m finding amazing about this whole thing and a few questions could be asked..... Have there been any recall efforts, ANYWHERE, to remove some of these County Commissions, City Councils and/or Mayors? Have the people showed up and demanded that they all step down?

I watched a video of a guy the other day. Very passionate. Articulate. Well spoken. They only showed him. Described himself as a business owner and veteran. And spoke to his county commission/city council about the disastrous effects of these policies. Added that some of his buddies have committed suicide since crap started after losing their jobs. I agreed with everything he said, until he started talking about how guys like him, and others, were reaching their tipping points, have been to combat but were getting to the point where something bad might happen.

So my question to him and those like him....Why say that? I know it’s what many are thinking. I’m one of them. But why say that? Find out what the recall procedure is in your local jurisdiction, print out the forms, grab your mask and start collecting signatures. You get enough, those commissioners/council members are GONE or they’ll do the bidding of their constituents. No closer relationship of the people and their reps than on the local level. The politicians have no where to hide when you go to the same church as they do.

And the last thing any of them want to be is GONE. The same corruption that is DC is the same corruption in any small town in the US. Instead of multinational corporations shutting out the little guy and getting kickbacks from federal aid packages, at the county/city level its the developers and small business owners corrupting our local politicians. It’s everywhere. And then they get power hungry and never leave.

Folks start getting out there and bringing some paperwork to their feet, they’ll be some changes.

The US Marines based in Darwin have to go there because we have to protect Australia from the Chinese Communist Party regime but this puts that in a new light.

Well, it looks like Victoria really stepped in deep doo doo cutting a deal with the PRC. And what Melbourne is doing is not unlike what my own state’s governor (”Lockdown Larry” Hogan, Maryland) did statewide earlier this year. We’re still only partially re-opened, by the way.

As for the worries that the Victoria-China agreement is hampered by the lockdown in Melbourned, I would say things are just the opposite: it is helped. China has a greater opportunity to loan more money to the Victorian government — presumably with onerous terms — to help make imprisoned Melbournites whole. JMO.

I believe there are recall efforts in Seattle and Portland for the mayors. Maybe NYC, too.

Scum liberals crave oppression for the sake of oppression.

Well, Aussies, you gave up your guns and sold your souls for “free” healthcare. Sucks to be you.

My daughter, Elen USMC, went to Darwin last year. She said it was cold and had unusual plants and animals. And Aussies who drank beer.

I’ll check with some of my mates in Melbourne to verify.

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

Could there be politicians in Victoria who hate the Prime Minister as much as Cuomo hates Trump?
