He’s white.

A nuke sub operating there for a couple of months is still better than a DE that leaves after a week (presuming it can reach that far at all).

We deploy our subs for blue water not just littoral use. They patrol up as far as the South China Sea. Nukes allow us the stay on station for much longer than DEs.

Beta most certainly did have porn. VHS’s advantage was that it had a longer record time (therefore more porn).

I thought she was kicked out by her mother, and her father wouldn’t allow her to live with him.

I can’t see them coming back. They’re hemmed in. The further right they move, the less palatable they are to the majority of Australians. They can’t go left without alienating their base.

They also don’t have a leader to drag them kicking and screaming through the necessary process to change. Nor do they have the ability to recruit one young enough to make it worthwhile. It will be a long and painful exercise.

Right now, I fully expect them to continue along their rightward path. As a result, I can see them reduced to One Nation numbers within a couple of electoral cycles, which is still more than the Nats get. At some point, they’ll likely splinter.

They’re supposed to be the party of small business, but small business can’t afford them anymore.
