Ever heard of glass houses 579. Judgement of the character of ministers is not a discussion any Labor supporter should get involved in mate.

I do believe it is only the Labor party in Queensland who have had one leader, & one deputy leader go to jail, convicted of pedophilia. I'm afraid the others have quite a bit of catching up to do in the bad judgement department.

Tell me, is your current leader the result of all that judgement, or merely the best you can do, with the pitiful bunch you've got left? It's a good thing for you that Newman has pioneered the way for you to find a leader before the next election.

Dear Hasbeen,

Neither side of politics has any reason to feel smug
about some of its past and present leaders. And selective
finger-pointing achieves little that's really constructive
or adds anything of value to a political debate. As we all
know - depending on one's political inclinations - one
side will always be the "good guys" whilst the other
side will always be the "villains." Nothing new there.

Perhaps that's why so many voters are flocking to the
Greens. People are sick and tired of the noise
and hyped grandstanding of both parties.
No thinking person can deny that the Greens have
become a force to be reckoned with in the political arena.

The next election should prove to be an interesting one.

I think that an effective party would be one that:

- Was environmentally caring and willing to develop sustainability for the environment,

- Is family focussed and willing to protect the role of father, mother and child.

- Encourage people in their pursuit of financial success and provident living, as well as the moral responsibility to care for those less fortunate and help them make that life for themselves.

- Give business and industries the freedom to run their businesses profitably.

- Protect workers from unlawful conduct by their employers, but not demanding more than the worker is worth or protecting 'bad' employees.

And lower taxes.

Basically I think this would be a party that would do well in any upcoming election, but it doesn't exist because the different existing parties are unwilling to work together with their good points. Or they are half good, half extreme (on both sides)
