Yeah it doesn't. It's unicameral.

How is this not the same thing as China in events such as this

It is Labor party policy that if they ever seize both houses of parliament they blow up the upper one because they believe it is unrepresentative.

I love you

I wasn't mucking around that time, it's true. When Whitlam tried to call a half senate election in 1975 he said if Labor won a majority in the senate they'd get rid of it. The Labor Legislative Councillor s who voted to abolish the upper house in QLD were nicknamed the suicide squad.

well popular elections where you can vote for either the Communist Party (Labor) or the Communist Party (KAP) seem pretty legit

I certainly am serious. Pauling Hanson has some views that are a bit to the right of mainstream, although that is what Australia requires to put us back on track and improve Australia.

Please enlighten me as to how it would "improve Australia".

Fix our border security issues. Fix our multiculturalism issues where currently we have entire ghetto-esqe suburbs where immigrants have failed to assimilate. I'm not saying all problems could be solved, but it could help to prevent further problems from developing. Australia has become too politically correct to the extent where children can't even sing merry Christmas in schools anymore as it might offend someone.

I would disagree with border security and multiculturalism "issues". I don't think multiculturalism is a problem and I don't think people should be forced to "assimilate" when they come to Australia. It is not the government's job to force people to be the same, and to practice within the same culture as Australians. It is not the government's job to force immigrants to assimilate and conform. And it is not the government's job to decide what cultural practices are "acceptable" in Australian culture.

My problem with One Nation and Pauline Hanson is the Australian elitism and nationalism, as though Australian culture is "best" and we have to preserve it. That's bullshit. Our multiculturalism "issues" are not due to different cultures coming to Australia. They are due to intolerance and an inability of "proud nationalist" Australians to accept cultural diversity and multiculturalism. The only reason multiculturalism is an "issue" is because you think it is an issue.

As for the "Merry Christmas" thing, well, I haven't heard anything about that. But I believe in offending and provoking people and I think that we shouldn't censor anything just because it might "offend" people.

One Nation and/or Pauline Hanson may solve some problems, but I think their authoritarian nature will cause more problems than they solve. I believe it is the government's job to make the lives of people easier, and to make it easier for individuals to make personal choices, and not to create laws prohibiting personal choices.

I say vote Sex Party.

 

[soloooooo]

Well, Australian culture IS the best (in Australia) and we MUST preserve it. If immigrants don't want to assimilate then they should have stayed where they were.

I don't know much about the sex party.

I don't know if you're ignorant, stupid, or just an asshole. There is so much wrong with that statement.
