I don't support the tax in its current form because it essentially legislates in government bailouts for mining companies that under-perform. They should be allowed to fail. This is beneficial to the big miners and detrimental to the small ones.

I don't know if this is the end of Labour, though. Gillard might step in and win it for for them. There's also the curious matter of the Greens, who're polling very high and in what research from the polling companies suggest is a sustained bounce (not merely a protest vote). I say they're...

That's the third poll to record quite a large Greens bounce - 16%, 13%, now 15% :)

Greens preferencing Liberal.

To be fair, if Antony Green predicted the Greens would NOT win a Queensland Federal Senate seat, I'm being just as stubborn as he is. "My electoral analyst could beat your electoral analyst any day of the week!"

Existential/Lauchlan is some Labour hack with Asperger's who supports Internet censorship. The best option is to simply put him on ignore.

Quit your bullshit. UNDERSTAND HOW THE PREFERENCE AND QUOTA SYSTEM WORKS. Here's just one example explaining the high likelihood that you're wrong. Queensland Greens to advance amid ETS retreat

As I said in the neg rep comment, you're a drone who could not critically analyse even a newspaper article to save their life. To you, does "Liberal all the way" include making abortion a criminal act, vilification of homosexuals, a return to fault-based divorce, and the introduction of...

ideological is the preferred spelling

Antony Green and others have been predicting the Greens will safely get a QLD senate seat for a while, though...

Re: Jesus fucking Christ - IDF massacres Turks on board humanitarian ship It puts pressure on the local government, which then eventually puts pressure on Israel if sentiment gets strong enough. In and of itself, it does nothing, much like any one person's vote in an election.

Well, consider this: 3 Greens Senators retain their seat due to 6 year terms. Then, with 10% vote, I can't see why the Greens wouldn't get a new Senator in every state, giving them 9 Senate seats total? DD excluded.

Did you base that off the 16% figure or the rolling average?

I've lost it! Please help me find it.

Re: Jesus fucking Christ - IDF massacres Turks on board humanitarian ship Incorrect, there has been documented cases of this before even as recently as last year. Australian border patrol still didn't butcher them like cattle. Anyway, you're a troll. Bye.

Re: Jesus fucking Christ - IDF massacres Turks on board humanitarian ship When was the last time the Australian navy massacred the occupants of the ship it boarded (legally I might add, in Australian waters)?
