Like ive said before, i dont think any party would do a good job running this country. I find politics in Aus to be rather childish and amateurish. Its just people arguing at each other and no one has any real policies or seems to do stuff.

I donkey voted last time. When you have a hung vote then you know people just dont think anyone is worthy of leading this country.


to be honest most of the population just aren't interested in politics and what's going on...they are to busy living and getting on with life.....and to the general Mr & Mrs plodder it doesn't make alot of difference who is in...they are more concerned of taxes go up on giggy's,piss and pokies.....

But I don't smoke, drink or gamble. What should I be concerned about?

They should just have a religious party - the Muslim and fundamentalist Christian vote is a big demographic. They can all lobby against abortion, women's rights, homosexuality and other unnecessary things.

Edited by thupercoach: 8/8/2013 01:55:10 PM


What's your definition of unnecessary? Or are you referring to the campaigning against these things as unnecessary?

A for a "big demographic", its an ever receding demographic as our society in general becomes more socially progressive, so do the vast majority of religious people that dwell within that society as religious organisations struggle to balance modern sentiments with archaic ritual.

Really? Didn't check, just assumed they were a far right religious Christian party.

They're a far right conservative party. But they only really use the Christian name to give them some semblances of "Credibility".

Hmmm yeah fairly unlikely then! Tough one though... I thought as a socially liberal centrist I had no one to vote for but Zimbos you basically almost don't even have a party in the same quadrant!

It's a shame that there's virtually no chance of Australia ever moving to a proportional representation system of government... at least then people could expect their vote on election day to correspond to a voice speaking on their behalf whenever government makes a decision.


Gotta not be a two horse race for that to happen I spose.

Think the death of the Democrats has done more harm them good in the past decade or so.

Quote:
POLITICS creates passion and emotion in people and this was no more evident than at the Wallabadah General Store on Monday.


See your ad here
Owners Glen and Kim Sheluchin were so outraged by the front page of a News Corporation Sydney metro they refused to sell copies in protest.

It featured a full-page photo of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd with an editorial headlined “Kick this mob out”.

Incensed Mrs Sheluchin, a proud Labor supporter, vowed then and there to remove it from her store.

“I won’t have it on my shelves, it’s clearly prejudicial and I’ve got no reason to sell the paper to people.”

Mr Sheluchin called the paper to tell them what they’d done.

He said a newspaper should report the facts, and the opinion of the editor should be kept off the front page.

“I wasn’t impressed with being given someone else’s opinion,” he said.

“I see a paper is there to provide us with information so we can form our own decisions.”

Mrs Sheluchin said they had received a mixed response from newspaper customers.

“Most people have said, ‘good on you!’” she said.

Mr Sheluchin suggested the front cover was either politically biased or intended to create controversy and generate more sales.

“Nothing sells more than controversy and drama.”


See your ad here
The former Liberal voter, who is now “pro-Rudd and happy to admit it,” said they would have done the same if a paper was blatantly biased to Tony Abbott or the Coalition.

The couple are calling for unprejudiced, unbiased and balanced reporting for the remainder of the election campaign, or more papers might find themselves stripped from shelves.

“If they’re fair they can stay, if not they’re going in the bin,” Mrs Sheluchin said.


LOL...I guess the Herald is off to the shredder too then.
