Paul1405. Sorry, I got the wrong party.

I meat Nic Zeniphone. Or what ever his name is. I don't know who he represents.

One week to go untill the election and i wish Pauline all the very best. She will collect a couple of votes from this household.

Her tenacity in standing illustrates her strong character and strong beliefs. Her honesty and straight forward talking is another bonus.

A post by one ChrisPer on the Ethics Forum which is critical of Lee Rhiannon, Greens Elect Senator for NSW, and a trenchant critic of Paulene Hanson.

The reason the NSW greens have a gun policy while others do not, is that Lee Rhiannon graces their fair soil. Ms Rhiannon kindly informed the public of Australia on many occasions after Port Arthur and before 2002 that handguns were very easily available. No-one else did them that great service through that time, though her fans in the media made sure her cackles were widely heard.

It is completely not the fault of this woman that in 2002 a Chinese student decided to take the route so ardently recommended by Ms Rhiannon, and fear of racism meant that no-one would speak against his application in the pistol club he joined.

It is entirely not Ms Rhiannons fault that this person shot five people at Monash University, killing two. Ms Rhiannon's media fan club likewise are completely innocent of those murders, because all the media at the time were energetically cashing in on the sensational murders by the Islamist 'Washington Snipers' and this media frenzy was the likely trigger that suggested his actions.

Even the Chinese student himself was innocent of murdering the people he shot, because he was a lunatic. If this country (and his) dealt with mental illness better, they wouldn't be making laws for decent people based on the actions of lunatics.

Raised by parents who prefered the Soviet state (after it murdered eight million people for owning farms!) it may come naturally to hunt out and punish the innocent, the enterprising and the self-reliant in their own society. The root of Rhiannon's apparent hate of gun owners is the need of radical politicians for the approval of their peers and acolytes, which rewards hate of 'out-groups' with hearty approval. You only have to read these peoples blogs to appreciate the depth of contempt for shooters as people - they actually call for our deaths, the worst of them.

Being a relative of another red diaper family, I am aware of the modern CPA-Greens crossover. The hatred of modern homo economicus is a natural fit for those raised hating capitalist America.(unquote)

There are many who think that a vote for the Greens on Saturday will be a vote for totalitarianism and all of its attendant evils.

If you want to vote for a party with extreme views then vote 1 Shooters and Fishers Party. Just visit their NSW web site and read their policies, extreme in the extreme. They would do Charlton Heston proud!

That's a broad statement, Paul.
Just what do you consider to be extreme?
Their Parliamentary record would suggest the exact opposite.
All the changes in the laws that they have achieved have been logical and well reasoned and not aimed at curtailing the freedom and simple pleasures of the ordinary citizens.
Pity that the same cannot be said for the Greens.
