From: Jason James on 17 Jul 2010 03:24 The choice hasnt been so easy for a long while> back to the '50s with Abbott and his school-days Nulla nulla to educate us,. or a woman's version of the ALP. Back to full blown "work-choices" or some sanity from Julia. A while back, Austar was advertising the function of the red button on their remote. Some wags were filmed offering their opinion on what the "red" button should do,..one said "press it to erase that mental picture I still have in my mind, of Abbott in his speedos,...LOL!! Jason

How come you get to vote in two electorates when most of us only get to choose between Coalition and ALP candidates, or a watermelon in some cases? Clearly the Wesminster system is totally fucked when you get to choose the PM and we end up with the ruling party you deserve! :) -- John H

From what I've seen, I've only lived in one other federal seat where the local member has been more visible, more accessible, or taken pains to be more accountable. -- Posted at www.usenet.com.au

Nothing. The KRudd dismissal is a stark reminder of ALP internal factional bloody-mindedness and power. It's about time they dismantled this subversive influence. Rudd was an elected official, by the people, how dare they disregard this fact. My mother was a Liberal voter until I received my call-up notice (the unhappy ballet) for Vietnam in 1972. Lucky for me, EG Whitlam was elected shortly afterwards, probably on the card "bring our boys home" and I was off the hook. Since that time till she passed, she voted Labour. After my notice (I was 20) I thought the prospect of serving in Vietnam, a potentially exciting adventure. I said this to one of my Aunts, who's husband was injured in WWII, she said one sentence I wont forget> "wash your mouth out" The exuberent empty-headedness of youth. Jason
