Thanks for your post. Interesting that in Britain, people are no longer allowed to ask for black coffee!

Cheers
Kay

It's a pleasure Kay.Ordinary people are now paying attention and understanding the hidden agendas of the loopy left.This is the first step to better Govt.John Howard is not leading the way.He just listens to what the public thinks and says.

I just wish we had a better opposition since there are many areas that The Coalition need to be taken to task on.They have become too complacent.

More disciplined attitudes to wanting to raise standards of behaviour,allegience to Aust,rejection of PC agendas and higher standards of ethics have caught Labor,the Democrats and The Geens on the back foot.They will have to play catch up.

The left wing Educrats no longer have the monopoly on determining the attitudes and direction that this country will take.They are out of their comfort and power zones of the recent past.Moderate,hard working ordinary folk are having their say and the trendy lattee sipping chardonnay set can hold hands with Germaine Greer or Margaret Whitlam and skip off into oblivion.

Arjay ol mate, Name the educrats you speak of and how they had such a determining power over the attitudes. While you're at it, name a prominent Left wing think tank that regularly gets media coverage.

Yes Howard echo's pollster results and tries to make them appear to be his own policy innovations, but you won't find educrats standing there next to him determining attitudes. You will however find his spin doctors working out how to dog whistle and weasle word and craft non core promises during elections. (like the interest rate promises)

You make some good points but then shoot them down with your favourite chants about Lefties (without saying who they are).

I know its highly fashionable in right wing/centrist raves to do this but it starting to sound like a broken record.

What say you really?

Christ some of you people write a lot of rubbish, our values as you call them are whatever happens in the US give or take 2 yrs,Australians love to conform they dont like or want to think, cause if they did they may find out what lies they have been told.
You only have to watch the mindless morons on TV to realise that,dont rise above the crowd, dont disagree with the govt, and most of all dont rock the boat, thats Aussie values and if anyone thinks that the average Aussie is not racist,I would say they are talking out there backside,I worked in Pubs clubs ect for 5 or 6 yrs and my friends you dont have to dig to far to find it.
As for the Right wingers boys your record and lies put you out of the game

"We have many migrants who failed the most basic rules of common decency and we need to improve standards."

Australians, of course, are born with an innate sense of decency you just don't find in foreigners.

What's more, "John Howard is not leading the way. He just listens to what the public thinks and says." Couldn't agree more, Arjay. It's politics taken to the lowest common denominator, something the left has been complaining about since 1996.

Don't judge ALL Australians by those who live in cities.Country folk are a different breed and live a life that is not based on shallowness.
Snout, country folk would also make sure their things matched their thongs.
