*When you cast your votes, please remember, what are the policies that you like?*

..

DREAMON: One off the Hip - INTERNATIONAL EQUALITY OF RELATIONSHIPS - If the Indonesians won't let Australians own land in Indonesia, then don't let them own land here. The same goes for every other country in the world who practice racism, discrimination and double standards.

BLUE: Drastically REDUCE the immigration intake - TICK

RED: SUSTAINABLE immigration only - TICK

RED: UPGRADE THE SKILLS base of Australians - TICK

DREAMON: Immigration for legitimate ASYLUM SEEKERS YES, corruption kiddies, despots and their cronies etc NO.

GREEN: A fairer election system - get the politicians you vote for - abolish the 2 party preferred political system.

REPUBLICAN: New Constitution, New Flag and an AUSTRALIAN Head of State.

CMC/GREEN: Full and Equal Rights for Gays, Lesos and Trannies, including Marriage Rights.

GREEN: Equal pay for all, based on merit NOT gender or sexual orientation.

I honestly think.
With Friends like Dream on
Greens do not need enemy's.
The over use of caps is not changing my mind.
And to think this poster said I was a closed thinker.

Well, I must say that I'm over awed by the quality of the substance in your post *Belly* It's absolutely oozing with eloquence substantiated by fact.

But then, I have heard it said more than once that the only difference between the ALP Right and the Liberal Party is their mechanism of garnishing votes.

What a laugh!

..

OY! I'll tell you who won tonight's debate - *GREEN BOB BROWN*

Coz he's so HOT as the man of the moment that the Blues & the Reds are too scared too even let him have a go with the "FOOTY!"

*Abott* is keen for another series of debates though isn't he? And the current tin pot system is a 2 party preferred system isn't it, and NOT the Liberal and Labour party system? Thus, technically speaking, anyone legitimately registered can win so why shouldn't we hear from the others?

As it is reasonably possible that the *GREENS* may hold the BALANCE of POWER then the people have the RIGHT to hear from them directly.

Let us the people hear then how the *GREENS* would use the power if they got it by testing them by way of debate against *Abbott and Gillard*

..

All those in favor!?

..

Oh, by the way *Pork Belly* I am as said not a member of the Greens, but do believe that some of their policies are spot on for what Australia and the world needs right here and right now.

Personally though, if I was able to have my way, I would have a system in the courts where the judges had more powers like in some of the European systems, to cut through the pettiness of the adversarial system, and in the legislature, I would draw Ministerial specialists from across the spectrum.

So for example, a RED for INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, a BLAKFELLA for INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS, a BLUE for FINANCE, a GREEN for the ENVIRONMENT etc where the art of the Prime Minister or Head of State would be in the unification and Harmonisation of the various Spheres of Influence.

Sorry Dream On while I never gave much weight to your barbs and arrows style of debate.
I was unaware you are just a kid.
The caps thing looks a bit gay to me, but each to his/her own.
Pork Belly?
How churlishly cute.
Thanks however for entrenching the view your posts are no longer worth reading.
Hope you do well in your exams Good by.

I don't think you're sorry about anything *Belly* and as usual, you continue to demonstrate your witless style, with its typical lack of substance, citation and substantiation.

As for your HOMOPHOBIC comments, well why doesn't that surprise me?

Don't you have some "branch stacking" to do, or haven't you ever done that before? Or perhaps you want to do some advocating for locking children up?

..

As for my age, well, I like to try to remain "young at heart" but here again, you demonstrate your idiocy by asserting matters as fact without substantiation when you clearly have no idea about that which you are speaking and are quite plainly incorrect.

It is not uncommon for the less than competent to attack style when confronted with substance to which they have no answer and you do thereby categorise accordingly.

And I must admit, I have noted that you often struggle to put a coherent sentence together though I have always treated your posts as all others, filling in the blanks and wonky bits as I go.

..

As for this thread, in this pre-election time I am finding it both enjoyable and interesting to float up some policy ideas and critique and analyse those of others.

I am yet to see a positive contribution fro you though, whereas, whilst I may stand some distance from *Blue RehTub* and others, at least they have something substantial to contribute.

Well perhaps the real motive behind madam Pm not wnting any further debates has just been revealed, that being her apparent depossing of some key policies, 'paternity leave' and 'pension increases'.

I guess she doesn't want to be grilled about these topics, hey! Hence no more debates.

So, the question begs, what about the 'insulation', or 'school funding' debarcles, did she oppose those as well?

Now in the case of the schools building scandel, if she was so thoughough with her checks and balances, as she says she is, then how did this scheme get through and, more importantly, how did it go so bad. Remeber, it was 'her baby'.

Please remeber these crucial points when you cast your vote.
