labor needs direction

and sitting back won't change anything

I don't think it helps labor when they have members who get very grey when asked whether they support Australian troops and or terrorism.

I thought you were also considering?

what kind of question is that

 

[erawamai]

what kind of question is that

Im talking pragmatically. Election poison if a Labor pollie was to suggest that the killing of Australian troops was justified. Or that terrorism was 'understandable'.

I'm still waiting for a reply for s nizzle as to whether he would think of fighting for the resistance in Iraq if he had a chance.

that's a problem with the whole political discourse if questions like that are thrown forward legitimately

The point is that you cannot ever expect to win an election if people inside your party want to side with minority views that people of the mainstream find threatening. Not minority interests like gay rights. People can live with that. They may NOT like it but the can live with it.

People DO NOT WANT TO HEAR that people who live in their nation find the idea of terrorism under an ideology employed against them as justified or understandable. Election poison. if labor were to take such a position the ALP would never be elected again.

Zahid I'd suggest you'd be more at home in the Socialist Alliance or the CPA.

nah...


you what really pisses me off is that all Labor members seem to hate Latham now...i still think he is very genuine, more so than Kim.

 

[erawamai]

nah...

You didn't answer the question.

If you had the chance to fight in the resistance in Iraq would you?

 

[erawamai]

If he says yes are you going to make a citizens arrest, clap him in chains and alert ASIO?

Hahaha no. Anti terrorism laws are not in place, stupid. He can say what he likes.

 

[Z_Nizzle]

You didn't answer the question.

If you had the chance to fight in the resistance in Iraq would you?

I feel i am not informed enough to answer that question yet.

But if i was iraqi and felt that Australian forces pose a threat to the stability of my region then YES.

 

[erawamai]

I feel i am not informed enough to answer that question yet.

But you do feel informed enough to support the resistance. How come you are not informed enough to fight for them?
