A number of things

 One Nation.

 It seems they continue to surge. It also seems I was right. Both the Liberals and Nationals in particular would be decimated.It is still a long time until the next election and thus far one nation has been treated as a giggle party in that they have no sensible policies. They do not appear thus far to be hit by any scandals. Hanson can employ a convicted and unrepentant rapist yet nothing happens. Perhaps because in softball interviews which she favours she is not asked about it! Will this continue? I must admit I do not know.

Clearly she has no idea about immigration even when the questioner is confused. Ah yes Kenny interviewing Hanson.

Just a little bit more on this after talking to some friends. One Nation only talks to friendly journos where no hard questions are given, They bar the ABC from any press conferences. This is untenable in the long term. for example their immigration policy if you can call it that is horrible for regional cities. David farley acknowledged this in the Farrer by-election but then retreated. One Nation is hopeless at doing any due diligence on staff or candidates. Hanson is ugly, looks in her 80s when she is in her 70s and is stupid. This will eventually come through. In a campaign it will be either a lot of gaffes or a person who is anything but natural. In addition plenty of people such as Joyce or Farley wil think they should be leader rather than her BUT she has a lot of authoritarian tendencies. 

2PP

Kevin Bonham skews yet another attempt to discredit 2PP. Who would have thunk the IPA does not know what it talking about!

Ukraine

I thought I would make a small point. Ukraine only targets military targets. russia doesn't because they are both lazy and cruel and do not care about war crimes. Ukraine has made crimea almost undefendable because of this. ( check out Ben hodges on youtube he is the best on the war.) They won't invade crimea but they doo not have to; Ukraine is winning the war and Putin wil ldemand belarus help him.

Personal stuff

I recently had cataracts out. It is costly. I only need glasses for reading now and need new ones!. It is expensive for anyone thinking about it. I also had cancer taken out of my right ear. You need to look very closely to see the difference.
