In the Australian Federal election of 2007, the Australian tories tried to frighten the electorate with talk of 'wall-to-wall Labor' - it was hilarious. For a time, the Australian PM aand every Australian state Premier was Labor. The highest elected tory official in Australia was the Lord Mayor of Brisbane.

When I was young my Dad was a trainer at a youth club and my brother ended up as a trainer later on as well. It was great you could do Marshall arts, boxing, gymnastics, body building, drum corps, you could learn first aid which got you in free to the football games, there were many weekends away for inter club competitions. It was moral building and in some cases you made life long friends.

@fumbleBumble82 День назад

@@pamelaadam9207 Young people should have access to youth centres regardless of financial status. But what I'm saying is, our head of youth service used to sign forms for us where we would have needed a doctor to do it or someone who had known us for 5 years. We also used the pcs to print off cvs when we started looking for jobs. Working class people don't always have access to those things and can be a way to get help when they are young adults because it's not easy to work out what to do if you have no support network around you.

Being dry, having food, being with you family or playing games is not enough anymore as a matter of perception. This is due to entirely entirely on social media algorithms and the inability to put pressure and place governance on them .

@missaj5623 День назад

I suppose my issue with a large majority of any government is that for our system to work we need an effective opposition. We need the opposition to hold government to account to make counter arguments to make sure new laws and legislation has past the test of being questioned and that things have been taken into account to ensure it is right and fit for purpose and there is an appropriate appeals process in place etc. It also encourages getting cross party consensus, working with other parties to ensure it is right and fit for purpose.
