...What Suseonline, your ideal Democracy gives a candidate but one chance; is that right? And you call Pauline Hanson supporters "Red Knecks"! I laugh!

" The catch is: what system will take its place."

That's easy, do away with the Senate.

It's not a house of review at all, when there is majority in both houses, it's a rubber stamp, when it's not, it's a dogs breakfast.

The ultimate house of review are the people, if they don't like what's happening, they can kick 'em out.

" 'deliverance country' folk, would give Pauline Hanson even a second glance."

Hey, I live rurally and am learning the banjo and want to learn that tune but will be voting for the Sex Party ! I have Ms Hanson at 85 on my pre-filled paper, ready to print out and take with me.

That aside, hopefully they are pullin' (y)our legs, if not it does go part way to supporting an IQ test for voter eligibility.
