Great insights, thank you. I particularly love the full Russian proverb.

I have no faith in the Liberal Party living up to its values. Ms Ley is, to me, the cover girl of all that is wrong with the party and the approach to Australia's problems today.

We need to dwell on the past.

We need to dissect and determine what is worth keeping.

We need to determine the lessons that should be learned.

We should then act on that information.

Modernising for the sake of modernising is the path to destruction.

While I fully agree with the sentiment of the article, I very much doubt that Sussssan gave any thought to her statement. The lack of worthwhile journalism in Australia means that she (and every other politician) gets away with such statements without being questioned.

Perhaps she didn’t. My view is that they are grasping at straws in an attempt to make themselves different, which is silly because they naturally are - or are supposed to be!

The most frustrating aspect is that they do not even need to go back in history more than 30 weeks - or even 30 seconds - to see they are on the wrong path! "Modern" Europe is imploding in real time, thanks to all of the ruinous "modern" policies that nobody ever asked for. But these "modern" policies are rammed through on the back of "modern" "democratic" techniques such as censorship, cancelling elections and jailing anybody who argues too sensibly. They should consider the "modern" election won by Donald 'threat to democracy' Trump, on the back of opposing every single core policy of both Labor and the Libs. Immigration, "Net Zero", WHO pandemic treaty, taxes and government waste. To simplify his campaign: it's the economy, stupid. He used the oldest, winningest policy in the history of politics. But what do the Libs do after the electorate bashes them for going left when everyone was begging for them go back to the centre? They double-down on lunatic leftism. They see everyone screaming for an Australian Maggie Thatcher, and all they hear is 'the leader needs a vagina'. And when everyone screams "we DO NOT CARE about the leaders genitals, or what they do with their genitals", they answer "Sussan added an 's' to her name for numerology". It is like they looked at the global humiliation that was Kamala Harris and said "let's do that"! The Liberal party are US Democrat style liberals now. They are illiberal lunatics. They've been double-masked and breathing their own CO2 so long that their brains are soggy broccoli; aka 'modern vegan'.

Frustrating, I agree. The are blindly following along without any thought at all. It is as if they are under a spell.

A spell. Or a bribe.

For the mass of people still fast asleep, it’s a spell. And that spell is the Tell-A-Vision.
