no one is listening

The PM has made me terrified of anyone who is not a White Christian Evangelist. He should declare a national emergency. chemtrails jfkjnrisalive

bookmakers suggest Coalition has no chance but if a few boats start arriving things could change

Oh yeh sure after 6 yrs Sky falling in, labor terrorists, Unions , Can’t eat out anywhere, Sudanese Gangs, McManus, CGT , Negative gearing reform, Boats returning, Kids Overboard, Shorten!, Refugees living next door, Black Africans, Shorten, debt/deficit disaster, labor failure

Risk-averse or brain-dead? Hard to judge the difference.

I honestly thought you were better than that

Same shit, different election

Risk averse voters would do well to vote out the Coalition lest wages continue to flatline, climate change be unaddressed, wealthfare continue and services be privatised

oroubos If we have Australians dumb enough to fall for the coalition lies, maybe it’s better that we drive off their cliff. I’ve reached my capacity for moron worries. auspol

Border security scare campaign is a dishonest exaggerated election platform. More relevant platforms for not receiving my vote... no action on climate, creating a greater divide between rich and poor, public housing shortage, the need for affordable housing and energy prices

Ironically, risk averse voters are currently streaming away from the Liberal Party in droves. 😂

Liberals can no longer be trusted as they are advertising to people smugglers to start the boats again

Too late. This spin is so obviously manufactured by a desperate Govt.

neddynoel1 Risk averse Australians know that ScottMorrisonMP is the biggest risk to the nation right now. They have stopped listening to him, because it’s unbearable. The ‘boats are coming’ scare campaign won’t work. The election cannot come soon enough ElectionNow auspol

So when new arrivals of children end up on Naru, they won't qualify for ALP medivac, but the existing adult men will? Nonsense from one that loves to take risks with lives of others, like Rudd & Gillard.

Is anyone still listening to this mob? Election now

Nine Entertainment tightening noose on non=COALition parties. All I’ve seen this week is asinine, controversial blurting from journalists who don’t bother about the facts. Hang your head in shame nineentertainment for destroying good media organisations in just a few months

FEAR is the LNP’s only weapon. Howard used it with Tampa, and Children overboard, now this Govt is creating needless fear over Medivac. The only fear I have is that under this Govt, living standards have dropped, & and will continue to drop if they are re-elected. That’s reality

If you are “risk-averse” then there is no way in hell you’d risk another 3 years of these pathetic thieves & mis-managers

Just hope that Bill would have 100s orange boats for turn backs We have 120k homeless n $300 mils flood damage then we'd be whacked with refugee detention bill $1 bil

Risk vs another term of LNP ......no brainer really

Do you mean their propaganda? Warnings are usually based on fact

They won’t

If the boats come back, it’s all on Morrison who has all but invited them. As for the economy, well, they’ve doubled the debt.

Risk adverse voters would be wise not to vote for a government that doesn't have a ClimateChange policy, that wants taxpayers to fund more coal and that even a million dead fish on the MurrayDarling cannot attract the attention of the Environment Minister. VoteThemOut

They’ve blown up the “good economic managers” myth with PaladinAffair GBRF and dodgy water deals auspol

If voters are sensible they will

Trump's tactics against his latest challenger could backfire spectacularlyWhen Senator Elizabeth Warren finally enter the race for presidency after years of being a target of President Donald Trump's anger, a tweet was waiting after she finished her joyful moment in the spotlight. Yet the fact that this person used a supposed Native American heritage to get ahead in life won't count against her? Please. She should be regarded as a laughing stock. She’s done. Not even worth mentioning She pretended to be a native American to further her career. She stole a place that belonged to a minority but Trump's tactics could backfire? Give me a break. theirabc

Medevac leaves Morrison government in a bizarre positionIf people smugglers simply lie about what Australia’s policies are to trick asylum seekers into paying them, then it hardly matters what our policies are in the first place, writes Waleed Aly Even asylum seekers have internet access... That's only valid if asylum-seekers have no other source of information. The number of people setting out by boat plummeted when Rudd introduced offshore processing. refugees r paying smugglers $8k to go by boats when they could come by plane as tourist for $900 Why do they pick boats? they dont have ID D Greens joined w Indep is just a show to cover their party implosion due to bullying n sexual harassments D message is out it'd be easier
