We want to sincerely thank everyone who has decided to support us your encouragement means so much. Many people in our community didn’t realize how seriously we are taking this mission, but day by day, we are proving it through action.

We are committed to #planting trees, protecting our #environment, and taking part in various #eco-activities like clean-ups, composting, recycling, and #climate awareness campaigns. Beyond that, we are also #fighting hidden hunger by promoting #sustainable.

The thing #conservatives don’t get that you don’t have to be a UFC fan to want to train martial arts, nor you have to display the outer appearance or demeanor of a fighter to be ready for it.

And that’s why they incorrectly also assume liberals aren’t somehow aware that ”the world is a dangerous place”, which their ”strong arms” would protect us from.

But actually they show their cards: They themselves are much more afraid than us. They boast because they’re scared.

I’ve had the unfortune of being dragged into some street fights, attempted muggings and robberies.

In general I faired well. My background in wrestling, daito-ryu aiki-jujitsu & capoeira allowed me to fend off the attackers and hold my feet to the ground at all times.

But also my unwillingess to take the fight further contributed significantly to them ending sooner rather than later with significant injuries.

This topic of ”Liberals can’t fight. They just run their mouths.” has been doing the rounds again recently.

This is one of the most common misunderstandings among conservatives. Liberals can fight, if needed, but mostly they will actively try to avoid it, and when they can’t they’ll seek to end it asap.

But redneck conservatives think a fight can end in one of two ways: Either they win or they’re KO’d into submission.

Day 31 🥔🤓🍻🚫👵📺

“People obviously are over the ads and just want #election day out of the way and get on with their lives. I get all of that. But you know, we live in the greatest #country in the world. It’s worth #fighting for and #protecting and #defending and that’s what the #debate is about”

“I think #alcohol is the first essential ingredient, I’m sure of that, responsible drinking as well, but NOT WATCHING THE ABC would be a good start.
For the young ones, #listening at home, FORGET THE ABC. And if you do that, you can probably start with a good night.” — #PeterDutton

Day 22 cont 🚜🌾 🤼 🏡🏘️🏠🏠🏠

“Traditionally, #Queensland candidates, whether federal or state, promise to take the fight to #Canberra. They project themselves as defiantly parochial, unashamedly maroon, with a vested interest in the north. More recently, however, #power has shifted from the #regions to the #urban south-east, which is more likely to welcome new #arrivals from other states than Queensland country towns. Amid all this growth, the lines of #responsibility have blurred between federal, state and even local government. Rather than fighting Canberra, the parties – including the Greens, who thrive on street-level combat – have taken to #fighting each other.

At the last election, the #Greens picked up three seats in Greater #Brisbane, riding the winds of change. The #TealMovement was unsuccessful in its first federal foray into Queensland, in the seat of Groom, although Suzie Holt enjoyed a healthy flow of preferences and is running again.

For now, the closest thing Queensland has to #independents are Bob Katter and Gerard Rennick, but the south-east is becoming used to newcomers.”
