Dear Is Mise,

Perhaps nothing, perhaps nothing indeed because I have not even looked further beyond the party's name.

While I wholeheartedly like the idea of supporting farmers (the last 'F'), doesn't the 'S' stand for "shooters" and the first 'F' for "fishers"? Those two actions kill others unprovokedly and against their will.

Yes, I know that 90% of people do it, most pretending that meat just magically appears in supermarkets without hurting anyone - perhaps the SF&F party is at least honest about it, or could it simply be just a miserable choice of party-name?

The far left and far right are generally very similar in most countries. Hitler and Stalin, fascists and communists were different only on the surface.

The only strange thing about the similarities between One Nation and the Greens is that it is not obvious to everyone.

Yuyutsu,

of course they do, but killing animals for food is not murder.
Killing feral predators helps save our precious small native animals and that is a good thing.

Dear Is Mise,

I will not argue with those who feel an altruistic call to save the smaller animals by killing the bigger ones. Is this a politically-contentious issue anyway?

But killing animals, including fish, in order to eat their flesh is certainly not altruistic. The law might not recognise it as murder, but I do.

Why can't farmers form a party of their own? I would probably support such a party.

Yuyutsu,

"But killing animals, including fish, in order to eat their flesh is certainly not altruistic. The law might not recognise it as murder, but I do"

Then you are at variance with both the Law and the English language.

Do you really object to people hunting animals for food when that is
part of their culture?

yutsie: The law might not recognise it as murder, but I do.

Just because not killing animals is part of your Culture doesn't make you right & someone who kill for food as part of their Culture wrong. It's just different Cultures, that's all.

I respect your Cultures right to not kill animals for food. It would be good if you would respect other Cultures right to kill for food.

Now back to ON & the Greens. One could say the same for the LNP & the ALP. Just because there is an overlap doesn't mean they is no difference between the two.

I notice that Pauline's call on Autism didn't go anywhere. I guess no-one was game to voice an opinion either way.
