By Graham Young, published 20/6/2014If you want to know how the left in Australia thinks, then check out Twitter. It will also explain the slow degradation of Australian political reporting into gotcha exposes and personal slurs.

Foxy,
<< all I'm doing is quoting statistics from the media>> All? You are using select stats to flavour your favourite pitch. <<people see is wrong and unfair>> The catch cry of the herd you run with is that anything they disagree with is “wrong" [or] "unfair" [or that other favourite] "inhumane"—nothing new in that <<And why bring Labor or our former PM - Julia Gillard >> Because it illustrates your selectivity. Look, in all the kerfuffle your monocle fell out … put it back in so you can at least see out of one eye. Must go. It's raining where I live...reside,love the feel of the rain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzFnYcIqj6I Have a great Sunday. Posted by SPQR, Sunday, 22 June 2014 10:53:18 AM

No more living in the past. It is the future that is the issue at hand.
Fact: Abbott told a gross amount of lies and went to the election knowing that his promises would not be fulfilled. Common knowledge is Abbott has broken almost every promise he made to the AU people. It would be grossly unfair that this PM be allowed to continue without criticism, and be known for what his downfalls are. A budget that could have been put together by a mob of drunks under a bridge. Without calculation or any form of thought. Posted by 579, Sunday, 22 June 2014 12:10:16 PM

Dear SPQR,
Again - what's with the insults? And what crowd do you imagine that I run with? Goodness me. You're the one doing the insulting here. You're the one who's being "one-eyed" and you're the one making all the accusations. If you can't see that there is a serious problem at the moment and that people are voicing their dissatisfaction with the Abbott Government - then you must not read newspapers, watch the news on television, or listen to any reports in the media. As far as I'm aware - we're still free to voice an opinion in this country - and hold our elected representatives to account. Posted by Foxy, Sunday, 22 June 2014 12:10:32 PM

SPQR, the March in March was held over three days; and yes, on the first day there were about 100,000 who demonstrated in Capital cities. The other 20,000 demonstrated in Regional cities on Sunday and Monday. There have been several smaller demonstrations since the March in March.
People of all ages, professions and political persuasion demonstrated. SPQR, please refer me to the stats that I have used. Leo, says I'm a fraud backer; yet makes no attempt to debunk the empirical evidence I have written about. Anybody can find the material I have found; if they look in relation to climate change. There are photos of thermokarst lakes on the net SPQR, they demonstrate warming of permafrost caused by warmth. Please provide evidence which is contrary.You also might like to see what happened to the Richardson Highway in Alaska; there are also many photos of house foundations being undermined through thermokarst failure. Thermokarst failure being a result of permafrost melting. Warmth is necessary for permafrost to melt. It is interesting that in the main ad hominem attacks are made against those who do not support a conservative view of the world on this site. But, that's ok, anybody that needs to personally attack, discredits their own point of view. Posted by ant, Sunday, 22 June 2014 12:15:20 PM

I think we have to move beyond this left/right paradigm of pigeon holing people. Left = weak and socialist, right = survival and realist.
The truth is that we are all a mixture of both and labelling people is a convenient way of ignoring or denigrating what they say without real debate. Posted by Arjay, Sunday, 22 June 2014 4:11:57 PM

I'm getting mightily sick of people mendaciously uttering untruths during debate on this forum...or judging by the Abbott Govt's scruples on that matter, perhaps it's just par for the course these days.
"Yet the GreenLeft (one of Poirot’s and Foxy’s main references….."
Evidence please?
Produce the posts where I have cited the GreenLeft as a "main reference" for my arguments?
