I see your Fabianism and raise you one IPAism.
Was there any work place agreement between Labor and pregnant women on their PPL when they introduced their legislation?
A communist??????....FFS....... have you gone loco like Palmer?......I still have the bitter taste of communism from the 50's and 60's......but of course today the Fabians have a different approach in adopting communism...they do it with the subtle approach through the Greens/Labor coalition...they chip away bit by bit so the naive do not notice it until it is too late.
Interesting article about a few lies the Coalition told before the election

Let’s be clear about this. We know they’re not being honest about their real motives for policy. They know we know, too. They don’t care.
As I’ve explained previously, the Abbott and Hockey budget, if fully implemented, would have taken us a long way towards the free market social and economic model of the US, and away from the social democracy model of much of Europe. But the question remains as to why they would do this. Who benefits from a US style free market system where government minimises its involvement?
The answer of course is the wealthy and those who already wield power. The greatest beneficiaries of Abbott and Hockey’s policies are their largest financial backers, including the financial industry, the mining and energy industries, gambling interests and real estate companies.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott's announcement of Australia's intention to send 190 armed Australian Federal Police and an unknown number of ADF personnel to help recover bodies and evidence from the site has been met with incredulity in some parts of Europe, with one analyst branding it ''nuts''.
I have been thinking the same and wondered if any others would say some thing.
What are a couple of hundred lightly armed Aussies going to do against thousands of armed lunatics fighting a war.
I wonder if the Coalition arrogance extends to pushing Russian armed militias around in its back yard?
Abbott's mission to Ukraine branded 'nuts'

I think that TA has done a superb job thus far on the MH17 incident. Even your beloved Bill Shorten has agreed on this.
This is a bipartisan operation, and any PM in this position would receive the support of the opposition.
It's worth mentioning that it's a lot easier to get a resolution into the UN Security Council when you actually have a seat on it, which is something the Rudd/Gillard governments worked very hard for.

What though was Labor's motives for that UN seat ?
It took a Coalition government to put it to practical use.
It was like everything Kevin Rudd did, purchased for his own self aggrandisement.It's an investment that is now paying off and shows foresight on the part of Rudd who kicked the process off and Bob Carr who secured it.

That we have it during the current MH17 disaster is merely fortuitous.
I'm not dragging the MH17 incident anywhere.
I've simply offered my point of view on the UN seat and referred to the above incident in that context.
The Federal Government currently spends about $5 billion a year on aid but that is expected to jump to more than $8 billion by 2016.
Agree. Obama is big on the fancy rhetoric and small on real action.I think that TA has done a superb job thus far on the MH17 incident. Even your beloved Bill Shorten has agreed on this.
European leaders who are also involved should be holding their heads in shame - the term "lack of balls" quickly comes to mind.
Obama is, for a better word, a pansy. What is need is leadership during a crisis like this. Someone like JFK during the Cuban missile crisis needs to step up and tell Russia to piss off!
Agree. Obama is big on the fancy rhetoric and small on real action.
Perhaps an influencing factor is that there were (I think?) no Americans on board MH17?
Also that America has done more than its share of trying to run other nations?
Also that Obama is actually a bit scared of Putin. Putin is a bully. Someone like JFK would have stood up to him, but I don't reckon Obama has the b***s.

I'm sure the differing responses from TA and obama have nothing do with the fact that Australia has close to zero trade with russia and so can afford to burn fences whereas Obama needs Putin for the Iran negotiations etc. If only Obama would harden up like TA.
