'Rusty and Runner anymore carry-on about what Christians do or do not allegedly believe will be regarded as off-topic'

Funny enough I had not mentioned what Christians believe or not. I offered an opinion without reference to God or theology.

You did. Sorry about that.

Good ideas Rusty- quite frankly those should have been the obvious standard, and would at least drastically improve upon what we have now in government.

Another consideration is to have the option to directly-elect persons to major portfolios, to ensure that regardless of whether a more liberal or more conservative government is preferable in general- at least there is the option to vote (one or more) a moderate into an independent ministry of health- as I seriously doubt many people who voted Liberal would also have ever put someone like Tony Abbot in the health department if they had the choice to single that portfolio individually and it meant their other areas of governance were unaffected.

I agree with you Runner when you say "the perverted policies of the left often don't come up at election time." The article tries to claim that there is no voter backlash from voters. But this is when the abortion laws are snuck in mid term. Also I think QLD is much more conservative than other states so this sneaking is much harder to get away with.

When Pro-life Victoria did a video on Victoria's laws the Herald Sun classed it "controversial" - just for saying what laws had been passed! What about the controversy of what is now happening in the state?

If the public are so pro abortion as many on the left say then why didn't Anna Bligh bring is up at election time? Yet more dishonesty?

Many conservatives are waking up to groups like Labor's Emilies List which work to elect pro-abortion females to parliament. There are no votes in this for the left where this is just one more little issue on their list along with things like gay marriage, surrogacy and same sex adoption. But there is a big chance of loosing votes on the right where this is a primary issue to many - a big vote changer.
