Why are both parties trying to see "who can be the toughest" with refugees and such? It's cruel and unjust.. Both parties are doing it. Nice distraction from things like policies though isn't it? Same for gay marriage. it's not really an election issue is it?
Mind you we have an MP in WA who says gay marriage is like incest.
Muddie, you should take the Vote Compass (http://www.abc.net.au/votecompass/). I gave up voting for either major party in 2001.
What's more is no one on either side can see why demonizing people like this is wrong........ Adolph tried this in 1939-40 to get the people on side and now Abbott and Rudd think it's cool to do that. Doesn't anyone learn from history.
Now I'm not saying let's have an open door but some compassion goes a long way. And I'll check that site out Jam
Well, that doesn't surprise me, Muddie. You're a thinking man![]()
My results (hope this works)

It's not only compassion, Muddie, it's international law. We have a legal obligation to welcome refugees.
Fleeing for their lives ?

If you are going to visit any of these links, visit THIS ONE ... then think of that army camp in Northam now "securing" 619 males from who knows where and what sort of background who have easily conned their way into this country thanks to KRudd, Gillard, and the Greenazis: http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/201...set-patriot-shaz-with-the-telephoto-lens.html
Ask yourself this. Of all those photos, how many of them depict folk that the Main Stream Media and the far left side of politics typically use as file-footage etc when talking about "fleeing for their lives" "refugees" ?
Since KRudd and Co gained government, illegal boat arrivals are now past 50,000 people plus over 1,000 (even over 1,300) of them have ended up dead in the water.
Prior to then, Oz had achieved control over our borders when it came to people smuggling.
Yep, that worked. Here's mine...

That's as may be. I'm not a thug.
Edit: I'm also not an ignorant, homophobic, misogynistic, hate-mongering dickhead, either.
Edit again: Which is why I would rather stab myself in the eye than vote for either Abbott or Rudd.
... what would happen if the greens get the majority of votes?

Plato once said, “The punishment which the wise suffer, who refuse to take part in government, is to live under the government of worse men.”
There is no doubt that we are ruled by evil men and evil women — evil men and evil women who are fully aware of the damage they are doing to our economy, and to the warp and weft of our society, and who seem to be in a manic rush to do as much damage as possible in the time left to them.
It is now universally accepted that the carbon tax is a very bad thing promoted by evil people.
The evil goes back a bit further than Julia Gillard’s broken promise and Kevin Rudd’s inane pronouncements. This tax has been a long time coming, and has mixed paternity.
The last dark deed of the Howard Government was the passage of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act in October 2007. That act is the auditing basis of the carbon tax.
Mr Howard’s plan was to get the auditing system bedded down, then start taxing. Labor’s carbon tax would be a couple of years behind schedule if Mr Howard had not laid the bureaucratic foundations for it.
The evil that men do lives after them, and in Mr Howard’s case that is a possible future in which Australia does not have a cement industry, a steel industry, oil refining, a multitude of other industries and, most importantly, a synthetic liquid fuels industry.
That is the part of the Howard legacy that many of us have toiled mightily to avoid. That legacy is now with us, and we stare into the abyss of a continually shrinking economy.
The list of carbon tax plotters is a lot longer than Howard, Rudd and Gillard.
As a scientist, what saddens me is that most of our scientific institutions have failed in their duty to serve and protect the Australian people. The CSIRO, the Bureau of Meteorology, the universities — these have all failed us and sold their souls for a handful of silver. Our academics have met our lowest expectations of them.
Then there are the institutions that actively, and purposefully, and very treacherously, conspire against us.
Chief among them is the ABC, which has ceaselessly, and shamelessly, promoted the bizarre cult of carbon. The ABC pays lip service to the norms of our society while doing its utmost to undermine them. The corporation is well past its use by date. It sees Australia through its perverted lens of self-loathing.
The next federal government will inherit a lot of debt. Sacrifices will have to be made to pay off that debt. The easiest sacrifice to make will be to shut down the ABC. The huge sum that is spent keeping the beast alive would be better spent paying off Labor’s legacy of debt.
If our nation is to endure, the ABC must not survive the next term of federal parliament. None who love this country will weep for it — just as this government did not weep for the cement workers who have already lost their jobs due to the carbon tax.
Then there is the matter of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). They have told too many lies over too many years. Their betrayal of the Australian people cannot be forgiven.
To this day, they have been trying to sell the Australian people into the slavery and oppression of the carbon tax. The CSIRO must be reformed through the benefit of much correction.
The factory and smelter closures due to the carbon tax, that were so predictable, have begun. Many of those factories will be closed forever, and no amount of wishing or hoping or endless tears will bring them back again. The people who worked in those factories, leading productive lives that helped us all — well, many of those lives are now broken, families broken, ambition thwarted.
Whoever of you breathed a word in favour of the carbon tax will bear the guilt of those broken and disrupted lives, and broken and disrupted marriages, to your graves.
Your sin was not a love of nature, but a loathing for your fellow man. Your fault was not a desire to do the right thing, but lack of an enquiring mind.
The notion of global warming was concocted to provide a cloak of scientific respectability for a massive socialist redistribution of wealth. That is as plain as day.
