NSW goverment has been swimming in stamp duty revenues, but where has the money gone?
Not to public transport, hospitals, water, electricty or schools.
Look at their arrogance in sacking Sydney City Council. I hope that Clover Moore bites them on the arse.
Thanks, 7.
Your response seems more about voting Carr out than Brogden in. But the kinds of things you list are quite valid, but I don’t know what Brogden will do differently. He seems (and seemed in last year’s election) less concrete on policy than 10 Mark Lathams!
Well here goes a few points/questions
Why should tertiary education be free? – please no tree hugging hippie ideals, a solid logical argument for it. I see no reason for it to be free, or for students not to pay some amount towards it.
I have only ever voted for one party (yes the libs) as I have little respect for any other party.
ALP – beholden to unions which have a socialist mentality, which doesn’t gel with my own life philosophy, and propped up by leftie students with no life experience. Unreasonably against people earning over 50k a year, which would be many of their own faithful nowdays.
Democrat – what do they stand for? Very much a spent force politically with no relevance. Hating John Howard is not a political position.
Green – Lunatic fringe who know they have no responsibility to anyone as they will never win power, so they can try to headline grab, with no thought to impact or effect. 40% of Tasmanian forest is protected from logging – 40%!!! Get over it.
For fans of the major parties an interesting fact on why liberal has performed poorly in state elections of late. The traditional labour voter is more likely to be blue collar and a parliamentary job paying around 95k and upwards is significantly more than they are likely to earn in their chosen profession. By contrast many of the liberal talents would have to take pay cuts to enter parliament.

Are you saying that you will blindly follow one party no matter what policies that they have?
I guess the only opinion’s that you have are given to you.

Guys,
If you don’t any of the party all you have to do is don’t vote for them.
Kind regards

you don’t to worry which side you are on. No body will be taking you to court.
I never vote for any of the party!

[Retire Young, Retire Rich] [strum]Chan,
I do like democracy, and I think it’s one of those values worth keeping. If we were in a country where we weren’t allowed to vote, and had either a dictatorship or a monarch ruling the country, I think we’d really want the ability to be able to vote.

Originally posted by kay henry:ok Chooks, I’ll go there… Let me put it this way… Here’s a riddle for you…
I’m of the political pursuasion that’s more likely to be doe-eyed, than I am to go to my daughter’s wedding, read books to children, or get drunk and steal a bottle of wine and flip out in the senate and half pull a woman’s arm off.
How’s that grab you?
kay henry
You scared me, Kay!

I said I have only voted for one party, not that i wouldn’t vote elsewhere if their policies stacked up. Please pay attention before you sledge me.
I am less concerned about a labor win than others as Latham has been making som epostivies noises regarding tax relief, which is the No. 1 issue for ME. I like to think I can make a rational decision and voting is about who tells the most appealing lies.

Kay – presenting MY views on the current state of political parties as others have done.
Do you discount my views because they aren’t the same as yours?[weird]
Anubis,
I was just referring to your words when you said:
“please no tree hugging hippie ideals, a solid logical argument for it.”
And then you proceeded to use very ewmotive language in your discussion.
No no, Anubis! I don’t discount your ideas because they are different to mine. I guess I was a little surprised by how you presented your opinoin on this thread though, because I had been impressed by the way you had worded a post in another thread this morning, and complimented you on it.
Guess I just find terms like “tree hugging hippies” a bit lame in 2004- sorry!

Anubis, why not send WayneL a PM? He could do with an outlet.

Your disparagement of me thus far has been witty and humerous, even if your phraseology was faulted…and as I was sh*tstirring, I probably deserved it. No worries, fair cop.
This one though, was just childish[thumbsdownanim
Give yourself an uppercut, son!
hehe wayne – up early like me huh? I am like some kind of hibernating bear during the day and a vampire at night!
This topic is a laugh [jerry]
kay henry
LOL Kay,
I trade the US markets (work from 9PM til 5AM perth time) so I know what you mean. It’s getting that if the sun’s rays strike me I recoil in horror[blink]
Cheers
