Bruce rights

'I have had enough of the radical Right, of the abusive Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard, who suck up to our big and powerful friends and kick down the most vulnerable and those most in need.

No what Bruce has had enough of is that the majority of people are not sucked in by UN charters which generally do more harm than good, 'science' consensus which is plainly wrong and social engineering which is leading to private schools exploding in numbers. Bruce is out of touch with what has gone on and still goes on in Aboringinal communities, seems heartless towards the many wanting to come to our country but have not ripped up identification and believe their still should be consequences for bad behaviour in schools.

Ms Gillard knows all this and that is why she is now desperately turning right after sucking up to the left which has led to her demise. Bruce's 'çompassionate' ideologies if adopted by Ms Gillard would ensure the slide even quicker.

@ KenH (Quote)Have a go yourself, Bruce. List the great achievements of the Left in Australia. Or anywhere else for that matter.

As a matter of interest - could you please tell me how many great achievements you appear to believe have come from the Right?

I note that despite years of opportunity to enlighten themselves about Australia history and politics, the brain dead zombies of conservative myth making still infest these pages with their favourite delusions. Not one iota of shift in their intellectual capacity, still stuck in Menzian/John Howard theme park, straight-jacketed in their safari suites & long socks, frothing at the mouth. How sad.

I thought the point of Bruce's article was that Gillard has been influened more and more by the Right. When has the PM ever 'sucked' up to the Left? Please give me an example.

The point as I understood of Bruce's article was the lack of a Centrist and Left 'place' in Australian politics and the growing influence of the Right. Gillard is not turning Right she has sat at the Right since becoming elected. Whether it is Howard-Rudd-Gillard the big picture outcomes are the same.

The PM may need to consider onshore processing after the determinations by the High Court - that is what has influenced the government not in this case the influence of the Left. What is so bad anyway about influence from the Left, it just balances up the extremes of the Right.

When has the PM ever 'sucked' up to the Left? CARBON TAX She tried to appeal to the centre/right in promising no carbon tax under her Government. To cling to power by her finger nails(sorry deceitful independants) she lied to the electorate.

*You see if the NSW Liberal government increase mining state tax then that's okay, But if the Labour federal government want to put in a federal mining tax then it's a communist plot.*

Err Kenny, there is in fact a difference. State Govts own the
minerals, not the federal Govt, who were trying to muscle in.

Next thing, the proposed tax was so high, that it hardly made it
worthwhile for people to bother mining. The left seem to think that
corporations and their shareholders should only take risks for the
benefit of the left. In general, the right creates wealth, the
left blows it on whatever new scheme is dreamed up at the time.

Given the huge waste in Govt, they hardly spend it wisely.
