Still waiting for the real Tony to start the election campaign currently we just have a puppet run by the faceless men of the Liberal party.

BTW which is the real Tony scripted or un-scripted
The cartoonist have concentrated on Julia's red hair, long nose, long neck and big rump. I wonder when they will include her big ear lobes.

The fertility rate in Australia is currently 1.79.The Greens have gone well past tree hugging. The policy that I am most behind is for the thrust for education world wide to be focussed on women. In this I am talking about the opportinities to be created for women in third world countries to be educated to at least tertiary level. Even slight actions in this direction are doing amazing things in parts of South Africa.
In a generation this would bring about controls over population growth, aids, poverty, religious extremism etc. This is thinking outside the square. As a Greens supporter I see a new ballance with Gillard that may at least get other thinking outside the square too.
So maybe we should wait and see.
I agree. Earlier today I tried to read their policy statements on their website, but the total 'pie in the sky' nonsense was too much for me.The Greens need to explain the economic consequences of their policies and imparticular, the impact on living standards of ordinary Australians. What, for example, would be the impact of an overall 66.5% tax on the profit from resource extraction ?
Until the Greens do this, they cannot be taken seriously.

They are full of touch feely motherhood statements but have zilch in the way of economic consequences and no costings for any of their extravagant intentions.
A caller to ABC Radio tonight suggested balance of power in the Senate going to the Greens will mean before long we're all riding bicycles and eating tofu. Probably about right.
In absence of the above, I'm just going to assume they have watched Star Trek Insurrection once too often.They are full of touch feely motherhood statements but have zilch in the way of economic consequences and no costings for any of their extravagant intentions.
Calliope, picking on poor Julia's ear lobes has confirmed my suspicions, you are in fact a petty 'old woman'.
Wandering around Nimbin hugging trees and making tie dye T shirts is going to be the new economy.

There was a doco on Iran last night on country life, the richness of life and food prodiced amazing and they all seemed happy.
Their rhetoric suggests that is what they want. IMNTBCHO this is just a smokescreen, a brilliant disguise; they are in fact revolutionary socialists/communists playing the Fabian game on rhoids.
This what disturbs me most about compulsory voting is that lots of muppets will vote for these Marxist bastids, never realising what they are doing.
Entertaining take on Kevin Rudd's speech.

Not too far from the truth ?
was eerily similar to that used by Gillard in her acceptance speech upon becoming PMI'm not going to sit idly by and watch Tony Abbott slide into office
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/edited-transcript-of-julia-gillards-acceptance-speech/story-e6frg6n6-1225883840584I love this country and I was not going to sit idly by and watch an incoming Opposition cut education, cut health and smash rights at work.
And that would be very good, the villiage idea would come back, large forms of transport would not be required and each group would become self sufficient again.

Wonder about that, people in harmony and happy.
Go greens
Not off topic, Julia has inspired me. (all three in fact)
The Brumby government, which had refused to release costing data since the inception of Julia Gillard's Building the Education Revolution program, has released figures revealing the extent of cost blowouts, fee duplications and poor value for money spent on state primary schools.
State's schools blowout exposed
Will Gillard claim this is in her past as she has with her socialist affiliations? Will be interesting to see how she deflects this one...
The way DAVE HUGHES gushes when talking about the Labor party makes me ill.
