2010 Federal Election

[Logique]

Hi Calliope,
yes how would it be, with Rudd and those two roosters Shorten and Arbib hovering over you!

The stock market is going to be fascinating next week, however it turns out today.

Yes the market will rise or fall depending on the election outcome and will certainly take away the doubt the miners have to invest or to withhold.

I saw Tony Mooney ( Candidate for Herbert) standing all alone outside Pimlico High School at 7.10 am as I was returning to the Hotel in the Arnage after a night of debauchery.

If his own people can't be bothered getting out of bed to help him, it does not bode well for the ALP in Herbert.

I was going to stop to say g'day, but there was a copper on the other side of the road doing rbt of all bloody things, and I may have been over.

She should get the academy award for this one.

I'm proud to say that I VOIDED my vote today.

Both Parties will destroy us all IMO. So I can now say that whatever happens? I am not responsible for it.

There are more than 2 parties...

There are more than 2 parties...

The greens are Evil, and the others? mmm The Sex Party?

None follow the Australian Constitutional Law.

I am a Australian Citizen, not a member of the UN

 

[prawn_86]

The greens are Evil, and the others? mmm The Sex Party?

Liberal Democrats, Independents, Senator Online etc etc

Me thinks someone is a bit too blinded by conspiracy theorists

2 party preferred = there's only 2 party's, upper house anyway.

Fair enough, but please don't complain in the next three years if you don't like it as you haven't made your vote count somewhere.

You are kidding right?

Go have a look at a few countries where people die to have the ability to vote. Would you be happier there?
This is a lucky country, you can vote and get the person you voted for to work for you (your electorate not just the leader of the party).

"Whatever happens Your not responsible for it??"
Good luck to us all if we all take that attitude.

Yes, true. That is suppose to be possible.

Try to get them to do this:-

1. Reduce the Government size
2. Stop the government from controlling and/or acting as a corporation or business
3. Remove laws that are making it harder for investors to make money
4. Allow the media to give the people real news
4. Stop Fighting any Wars (unless it is to protect our own land)
5. Prevent GMO foods and animals been grown and sold in Australia
6. Stop the Internet Filter
7. Stop poisoning our water with sodium fluoride (and possibly lithium)
8. Stop the government from adopting any Bills that the USA passes
9. Stop increasing or adding any from of taxes (Income taxes still can be reduced more)
10. In relation to #6, stop inflation and deflation (AKA Introduce The Gold Standard)
11. Stop privatizing any Australian company or services
12. Remove all "so called idealogical" Eugenics programs
13. let the free market live and prosper

And restore the Australian Constitution, if it some how manages to become replaced.

That is just the short list. I doubt they can do it. They are not really in control.

10. In relation to #6, stop inflation and deflation (AKA Introduce The Gold Standard)

Sorry, that was meant to be in relation to #9

Bob Hawke finds that viagra doesn't work any more.

Whilst I can understand the disillusionment with politicians, I still really value that I can vote, even if it's for the least worst candidates.
Agree absolutely with Jbocker's view that we are way more fortunate than many countries, not just because we can vote, but because we are free to criticise our governments.

I think rather, that he has found its working, but doesn't know what to do with it anymore.

In the last few years I've lived outside Oz, I've lived in UK and NZ. In both of these places citizens have the RIGHT to vote but are not COMPELLED to vote.

I appreciate the right to vote if I so desire and did so in UK. In 3 months I will be entitled to vote here in NZ and I will certainly be exercising that right. However I am free to not vote if I don't want to.

If I don't vote, I don't believe that in any way removes my right to criticize the government of the day. Not voting does not remove my right of free speech.

IMO compulsory voting is illiberal.

And restore the Australian Constitution,

You seem to want it both ways? Many of the ideas in the australian constitution were based on america's, yet you don't want us to pass any that the americans do? Confusing to me.

Blatantly anti american to assume every single bill they create is not good.

Been watching the news on abc3 and they're saying exit polls showing .5 percent swing against labor, equaling 6 seats.
