hopefully the Labour parties media machine (ABC) will be cut to prevent the further propagation of failed Labour policy as well as gw alarmism. Maybe they could ask Bolt to bring at least a little balance. Wishful thinking!

I'm not Australian nor am I in or have ever lived in Australia, though I have some Australian friends, met first in England.
There is much I would wish to add to this thread, but I and it are circumscribed by a limit of 350 words, which in essence means this is a basic chat forum, so nothing of any real consequence can be posted for discussion (I was going to submit a preamble of 2 A4 pages - followed by a 21 page item!)So I'll toddle off to the blog area and see if that allows a more extensive input - but whilst I'm gone, be nice to each other yes? After all we are all in essence seeking the same thing - i.e. a better way to live and do things yes?

I can assure you that at least 50% of Australians understand what you are saying. By the way things look here at the moment come September 14 this percentage will rise to healthier mentality levels or at least we can hope.

Individual I well appreciate your comment - the more especially because similar discussions can be found in every nation, either overtly or covertly, dependent only on their access to freedom of speech - but I think it should be noted that in essence these discussions are centred around an ism which doesn't in fact exist in any of the world's nations, and as far as I can ascertain, apart from a very few possible exceptions, never has.

Namely that there isn't a single democracy anywhere on our planet.

And if this site attracts any input from 'intellectuals' I defy any of them to say and prove otherwise!

The only possible exceptions might have been the 'click' tribes of our ancestral homeland who (we think) made decisions within a gathering of the whole community or tribe - and the very early Kibbutzes established before the state of Israel was officially formed and recognised.

It might therefore be more pertinent to tackle the problems which arise within communities (as opposed to within the dreadful and relatively recent construct of the 'Nation State') with community based solutions. To do otherwise is to play the game that the elites wish you to play, running the gauntlet of their well tested means of marginalising the 99% with matters which are essentially rarely going to change substantially.

tackle the problems which arise within communities
deezul.do-nicely,
In Australia when there was some de-centralisation things ran well enough to make it literally one of the best countries in world to live in. Now with centralisation our society has fallen into a self-imploding heap, a heap which many here refuse to see & rather than work on making it better again many are having a race to speed up the implosion. The major push for this implosion comes from so-called intellectuals of the Left.

'...be nice to each other yes? After all we are all in essence seeking the same thing - i.e. a better way to live and do things yes?'

Thank the lordy I don't live in your nutty utopia.

You see I just expect others to obey our laws. I don't expect others to be nice, or to be seeking to find 'a better way to live and do things'.

I don't condon the dictatorial attitude in your comment; 'we are all in essence seeking the same thing'

nor your premise that you know what is best for us all.

Best you stay where you are as most Australians are in the process of laughing at the socialists who are espousing that political message in Australia.

People are past being angry with the idiots.

I expect the labor party in Australia to poll about 20% of the vote in the federal election. The greens will have 10%.

THat will mean you will be out of step with nearly 70% of Australians.

Go keep your socialist cr4p in your cr4ppy Europe.
