Well that would explain the "odd" posts from both Cheryl and Runner wouldn't it!!

Walking away from civilised comforts is less a goal worth debate and more an understandable mental illness.

But what is causing this ill-ease is PRIVATISATION. The reason we got rid of Howard. The reason Abbott can not be PM.
You see with privatisation governments can and will privatise every thing in their charter except TAX collection and Armed Forces/Police.

That's a cool gig. The Barry OFarrells get money, power, Glory and girls but don't have to listen to their electors because they are powerless having given all their responsibilities to private companies.
Companies built on heartless marauding INVESTORS who excel in building PONZI schemes whose best profits come when they collapse. See OFarrell's Sydney Ponzi scheme and its increasingly untenable future for example.

Sure Abbott has just spoken of Privatisation. He promises weak limits on Chinese privatisation ... hmmm .. of farmland .. but its open slather for everyone else to privatise to the hilt.

The consequences for this LAZY DEMOCRACY or NON-Democracy is "caged chook syndrome". Citizens are relatively comfortable and don't make waves but they just KNOW that a spinning blade is around somewhere and is capable of cutting off their heads at a rate of 6000 per hour.

If that isn't reason enough for despair, protest-druidism and even a little mental illness, tell me what IS!

Democracy is something that over time, continually cost buckets of blood to get. It will cost more than buckets to get it back if we trustingly give it away to potentially nuclear armed(its coming) moronic leaders who are themselves expendable in global economic practice.

Just look at Syria!

If you don't believe THAT can happen here then think again and don't vote for Liberal Government until they wake up and get with the AUSTRALIA FIRST, De-globalised, tariff wielding, Sustainability program.

Spare the blood and cull the politicians!

Tony A Sustainable

KAEP,

My, we are in good form, but have no fear, the 'mage' can quell the 'rage'. (With or without antidepressants?)

And, you never know, Tony Abbot may be an apprentice under the great 'master'? (While Joe is taking up yoga and transcendental meditation, and Julie studying astrology, iridology and faith healing?) Bring on the grass skirts!

Inner peace, inner peace, a.. a.. inner peace.

Cheryl a bloke? I'm shocked.

Salty,

You're a piece of work.

Since when was the TRUTH a matter of FORM??

Abbot? Australia does NOT need to leave the door open to foreign investment. Abbot is WRONG. Only the 2% rich in this Nation need that foreign investment so they can line their pockets and BUILD the power to tell the other 98% that they are King-Henry-useless and non contributing souls, to justify ever more wealth and ever more erosion of rights & self esteem of average hard working Australians.

The first step in ending this Class warfare is to NOT vote for Abbott. When he understand the dangers of PRIVATISATION in its ability to widen the richVpoor gap and the ugly consequences that ensue, he will be ready to lead us. He must also learn that PONZI schemes do not last more than one generation in modern settings and that he is currently playing a fool's game. Further Ponzis make the best profits for investors(Chinese or American) when they collapse - at the expense of the government holding the bag at the time.

Continuing,

Continued,

Second is to force Labor at the polls (there are ways) to remove media conglomeration laws. My independent-News friends whose children were threatened with fire in Newcastle back in the 60's media-wars will appreciate that! No longer should small News-and-advert businesses be gunned-out of business under the watchful eye of pro-ponzi-Governments.

The third is to get a decent Attorney General. The use of littel girls to pose the "why don't we make big polluters pay the Carbon tax - it's all their fault" is FemoNazi propaganda. The little girl and all her child bearing mates are the one's who will DEMAND the polluters to increase their output for the sake of their 2.3 babies and the babies babies ad infin-bloody-itum. Roxon's Hypocrisy reeks! We DESERVE someone with the courage, discipline and intelligence of a Judy Sheinlen Or a Robert F Kennedy. Not a person who reacts to negative press by declaring there are 'consequences' for criticising Government officials particularly if colorfully.

IN SUMMARY: Australian's need to train Abbot to be a true leader and Torture Labor till they LEARN at least to tell the TRUTH for a change.

Truths SUCH AS:

Labor's encouragement of electricity-rivatisation &susequent unnecessary consumer cost hikes is just a MIGRANT TAX. It pays for migrants share of new poles and wires when Migrants should be levied a settlement tax up to $300K, paid like HECS. If labor told us this truth it wouldn't be a killer. But to hide it in some corporatised mumbo jumbo as if we are all stupid is the greatest clue of all to how Labor despises its constituents and what is inevitably in store for them.

Labor's immigration-program is just building the bottom layers of an increasing PONZI scheme. A scheme Whose only purpose is GST take, increased votes, and feeding the Ponzi-goons like Woollis and Coles. Now this makes their criticism of the super-rich just a strawman. ITS TIME someone slapped their damn faces with their silly LIES. And the ONLY consequence to slagging this Government should be to educate a waiting government even if that takes another term.
