hello

Yeah thats good stuff. I'd like to see these claims of 'scientific research' getting blown out of the water.

Yeah I know what you mean, which is why I'll be glad to be gone of him. I probably would've voted for Johnny last election (if I had a vote), but I find that with this last term I'm really struggling to think of anything positive the Libs have done... seriously.

Its a nice idea but simply it would not work completely left to market forces. One of the arguments against telstra becoming privatised was the availability of rural services. One such example was that in the bush, a telephone booth would not be economical to provide, but it is completely...

I'm curious, should we be getting the emergency services for free? A defence force for free? My point is, education, like those other services, is something we should be getting for 'free' (hey its not even technically free, seeing as we do pay taxes). Everyone benefits from education, both...

This was not a comment against you personally, but those who may have suggested the solution proposed by Labor is impossible. I can understand why you may say it would be cheaper, but you have not explained 'better' (if you mean better quality or better availability, that is easily arguable to...

What Labor is proposing is in no way impossible as some people have made out. Denmark, which has similar demographics to Australia and most other western countries (aging, fattening population), and is capable of paying entirely for university for those who deserve it, according to merit. What...

K. Identifying trolls doesn't seem to be a strong point of mine.

Care to back this up with some evidence? Its amazing there is still climate change skeptics. The change in the climate should be obvious enough to people who aren't even scientists and then failing that, the fact that the overwhelming majority of the scientific community support the global...

Yeah I got lost on that point as well.

Kevin Rudd a puppet? Kevin Rudd will be the first ALP leader to step outside tradition by picking his ministers and their portfolios - rather than unions picking the front bench.

Agreed (apology accepted).

Jeesh come on, its not that bad out of Sydney. Have you ever lived outside of Sydney? I live in Newcastle currently and have lived in rural places before that. Jobs are plentiful enough and there's not a sheep in site.

Lol. I understand your pain.

Where's your gospel truth that WorkChoices are beneficial? All I've heard is John Howard saying the laws are good (big shock that one) and Business councils (ie. the unions of business).

It really shouldn't be too hard to at least make a dint in that, seeing as average life expectancy at birth increased by 5.5 yrs for men and 4 yrs for women (ABS) over the 20 year period between 1980 and 1999 and that's when the government wasn't even trying. Imagine what the government could do...

Are you suggesting that there's no link between human activity and global warming!? If so, it sure as hell ain't me who's asleep. My mistake, I meant $89 million to be spent on climate change. It like those other points illustrate the fact that the government does not give a shit about the...

Why WorkChoices is bad (obtained from a submission made by 151 Academics to the Senate, found from http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/11/17/151-academics-present-research-on-workchoices-to-the-senate/) Overall this report presents a damning picture on WorkChoices, but I will restrain myself to just...

Last time I checked, the coalition 'vision' included work choices, sitting on your ass in regards to climate change and faking interest in aboriginal affairs.
