Labor needs to change direction as well as leader : Comments

By Leon Bertrand, published 6/9/2011

Any sober analysis can only conclude that the vast majority of Labor's political wounds have been self-inflicted.

Kenny, OLO & the Fin Review would be the only 2 truly unbiased media organisations in the land of OZ. Even The Australian is not totally biased to the right. Dont believe me read Loony Left, Phillip Adam's collumn for yourelf, or one of Noel Pearson's collumns on what communism has done for Aboriginals.

The talk back radio network Alan Jones is with on 2GB is biased to the right, but the "Fairfax" owned talk back network with EG Micheal Smith on 2UE is also pretty much centrist like OLO.

The GAYBC, SBS, SMH, the Age, Crikey & every other media organisation in the land of OZ is biased to the left, including ALL Murdoch's tabloid papers, which try to lean to the left "working class" audience they are trying to sell themselves to, but the best Spinganda, Weasel Wordsmiths in the world are not going to "sell ice to Eskimos in the middle of winter", no matter how many "masters" degrees in lying they got from university.

imajulianutter, i agree with you. The entire RED/green, getup, GAYLP/alp, Socialist Alliance has been highjacked by closet communists since the mid 1950's. They have been self deluding themselves with this Spinganda poison ever since, are completely brain washed.

if you have not seen these julian, check them out.

http://www.mailstar.net/xTrots.html even when you think they are doing something "right" or correct, they do it for the wrong, twisted, reasons.

Kevin Rudd & any other NON communists left in the GAYLP need to resign now, join Bob Katter, the DLP, or Australia First.

They could then support Tony Abbott as PM leading an LNP government till the next schedulled election.

Leon, your 5 point plan,

#1, half agree with this but it is not going as far as the GP, general public want. the AGW scam is busted now, most people believe it is an excuse to steal from the poor, give to the filthy, stinking super rich.

#2, half agree with this one too. the attitudes of the GP is way harder even than the LNP did before or are talking about now.

this is how 60% of the GP, at least, feel about muslim migrants, nobody wants them, at all, under any circumstances other than Socialist Alliance & the RED/greens.

they want all unacompanied minors, NOT detained anywhere but humanely, returned to their parents ASAP, while simultaneously, supporting Aussie jobs by doing it with Qantas or Aussie military aircraft.

BTW, they want the same done with ALL boat people anyway. immediate deportation, especially Afghans, back home ASAP.

#3, 4 & 5, last 3 agree with totally as would 80% to 90% of the GP.

Leon – I agree that the five actions outlined are what needs to happen but given the context of the article, it’s a bit like saying “if we fitted testicles to the queen we would have the king we want”. It won’t happen under Labor.

The current government (Rudd + Gillard) is on a similar “social reform” crusade that we saw with Whitlam the 1970’s. There are some good ideas but after years in the opposition wilderness, they are bursting with all their plans and the implementation has generally been rushed, ineffective and with some appalling results. Everyone has their spoon in the pot giving it a stir and it’s just turning into a mess.

Apparently, all of a sudden, we had to have a ratified Kyoto protocol, an apology, a seat on the UN security council, a CPRS, a carbon tax, a mining tax, a modified mining tax, take Japan to court for hunting whales, maternity leave, paternity leave, inflexible workplace laws, new school buildings, insulation, live exports, no live exports, encourage people smugglers, discourage people smugglers, federal curriculum, federal health control, and handouts, handouts, handouts (and then taxes, taxes, taxes to pay for the handouts, that are needed to pay the higher cost of living due to the extra taxes, and then ...). But it is always comforting to know that we are leading the world in plain cigarette packaging so the whole nightmare has actually been worth it.

The end result will be that the Labor party will spend another protracted period in opposition.

But, I just don’t know what will happen over the next two years. I think Gillard’s days are numbered and it sickens me to think that internal party politics will determine who is Prime Minister of this country for the next two years rather than being determined by the electorate. I know that we don’t vote for the role of Prime Minister per se but, in essence, that’s what we do at the federal lower house polls.

Something will have to give and I think it has to be the independents.
