Can We Borrow Donald Trump Please?

We need a Donald Trump to drain our local swamp - Canberra.

I think the US has just commenced the genuine reckoning that's well overdue for the inane political correctness we've all had to endure both in politics and corporations.
It may not be pretty, but it's sends a powerful message.

Clive Palmer is a perfect example of a popularist boofhead who leaves nothing behind him except an embarassing trail of disappointment and a mess. Perfect parallel for Trump.

Trump = Palmer ^10

Luv him, hate him it ain't gunna change him from being the most powerful man in the world for the next 4 years.

It's gunna be fun.

At least he will change the status-quo, we certainly need some of that here.

Australia is prosperous, safe and stable. Possibly the most so in the world.

We need leaders who are dedicated, honest and smart. Last thing we need is a pompous ******** with a history of "stiffing" people he doesn't feel like paying.

No argument from me there. Would someone care to tell me where we can find such leaders, because currently we do not have them!!!

Australia is prosperous, safe and stable.
For how much longer??

Time to have a businessman to run arguably the biggest corporation on earth, rather than a politician

Really?..

He hates unions and his only attempt at running an airline was a complete disaster.

N.Y.-to-D.C. shuttle fiasco sheds light on what a Trump presidency may be - StarTribune.com

If you want some light reading, Google Frank Lorenzo, who the Donald is pictured shaking hands with in the article.

Sunny...the sentiments of many, many people in this country

Cantberra has turned into a fairyland. Laborals and Libor are too busy playing the game of getting and holding power....whatever it takes.
And in the bureaucrazies as well,the higher up the food chain the more talking and money wasting they do.

Leadership We saw recently a new "leader" in non aviation house. Melted away like a snowflake in hell..which it is...with nil results for the industry.

Where to from here?? No change possible under existing circumstances, thats for sure.

Oh Aussie "Donald" wherefore art thou. ?

Have any of you who think Donald is so wonderful actually read any of his history? He's a great self promoter, not a great businessman. He'd have failed long ago except the the banks decided the buildings were worth more with his name on than without.

Its not so much THAT Donald people are on about...its about a change that is a complete getaway from the current status quo.

"Twiggy" "Dick" "Tom" or whatever the name..its the real, positive and productive changes that we require.

Politics is a filthy business, so you can see why good and knowledgable folk steer well clear of any involvement.

And beating yr head against any bureaucratic wall/iron ring/naysayers/troughdwelling donothings is an impossible task.
Thats how its set up...by self servants, for self servants...how to blow it open???

We, the people are superfluous

Shame we don't have any candidates here who own their own 757.

I guess we have Dick but hes only going to be left with his Caravan when he sells the Citation.

What ever happened to Dick running a couple candidates, all talk I guess?
