    People here probably don’t need the warning but the Trumpet of Patriot policies are sleazily disingenuous

    He is almost sounding Left wing.

    As if he wants to tax his own iron ore exports 15%. He refused to even pay his workers their entitlements.

    Free education from Clive?

    Cutting number of immigrants is unlikely since he wants to exploit them. All right wingers after like this: They are not interested in sensible intake numbers, only in stoking racism and division.

    Even the net zero thing could be naively interpreted as: “we won’t promise but we will try for net zero”.

    The superannuation thing could massively be thought to imply: “we will strengthen pensions instead”.

    He definitely won’t raise minimum wages or NewStart to ensure families don’t go hungry.

        I hesitate to say he is full of shit because shit has more substance than the lies he has been spouting via SMS.

      I think he is being as contrarian as possible to lift up his pet I dependants. His party should receive no votes, but he wants to divert those angry votes to the Independents that still take his money.

      If you vote independent, (which I believe everyone should), make sure it is for someone who is honest about where their funding is coming from.

      However, I’m sure that if anyone campaigned on changes to the SPAM ACT to remove political exemption, they would win by a landslide.

        An email or SMS seeking to influence your vote or opinion is rarely covered by these rules – they do not need your consent to send it, and do not need to include an unsubscribe.

        One friend was getting multiple spams on his phone each day from Clive (from different numbers) with no way to legally stop it.
