In a couple weeks it will be time to cast our vote once again at the federal election.
I am rather torn at this up coming election.
First off its easy enough to decide, Greens and the Australian Sex Party will be getting my votes due to their policies and views.
But I know in my area they wont get in, so really in preferential voting, it all boils down to who I choose 1st out of Liberals and Labor.
Liberals:
- Tony Abbott seems to have some of the craziest Christian based views out there. He has repeatedly said stupid things over the years. A summary of them can be seen here spoken by girls

He is apparently homophobic and it seems that he doesn’t think much of womens rights going by his comments. He thinks abortions are the easy way out and that bibles should be in every school.
- They want to scrap the NBN. A nation building project that will last Australia for a long time. It will help business and change the way Australian’s get media. Yet, the Liberals want to scrap it.
- Liberals are also refusing to support or deny their support for the web filter. They are sitting on the fence it seems.
Labor:
- Backed by the unions. We know since the Kevin Rudd knifing that who is at the front isn’t who is in control of the party.
- They are pushing forwards with the NBN which is good
- BUT, they are also pushing forward with police state ideals of censorship and filtering. They want all net access to be filtered based on some arbatory system.
It is a policy which will not work. It is also terribly bad for a ‘free’ western nation such as ours.
- They want to log all Internet access. This goes with the filtering system, more infringements on our privacy and rights.
- Labor has totally blown our budget. From a surplus to a massive defficit. Can we handle another 3 years of Labor monetary policy?
As you can see, I have a problem.
It seems that the left and right sides have merged to become media fence sitters bent on pushing their views on everyone and stamping out personal freedoms.
Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
The Australian election campaign 2010 seems to me to be a lost cause in that seemingly none of the big parties are campagning on the one vital issue issue – the re-nationalisation and restoring of Australia’s greatest banking asset, the Bank of the Commonwealth. None of the other issues are of any consequence by any comparison.
I really hope Tony wins, Labor has blundered its way for the last 3 years,that’s why so many Australians want change ,they don’t deserve to be re-elected.
Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking you feeds also, Thanks.
