"She's stating what the electorate feel"?

No, she's stating what less than 2 percent of the electorate feel.

Individual makes up his/her own historical factoids to suit the situation.

No 'leftie' would vote conservative, although many who pretend to be 'left' do vote Labor, which is tantamount to voting 'conservative'.

In fact, the ALP IS a conservative party, and has never been 'left'.

Poor Lenin nearly choked on his tea when writing about the ALP being a tool of the ruling class.

Just look at their hero, Whitlam, the first neo-con of the modern era.

@ diver dan:

It's a real pity that so many voters don't have "brains enough" to know that it is they who allocate preferences, unless they're lazy enough to vote above the line.

morganzola... they are the goons who vote for Hansonites and the xtian dem porn watchers.

They suffer from a 'synaptic gap' problem, lacking the vital 'other side' to send a spark across to.

Rache and others,

Other than a small minority that agree with PH, the votes for her are not in the expectation that she will wield any real power, or even that they agree with everything that she says, but as a signal to say that what is happening on immigration is not OK.

The message is clear. The Labor immigration policy is a complete fiasco, the East Timor off shore processing centre was never a real consideration, and that this is just more of Juliar's BS. Juliar has no intention of changing anything and just hopes the problem will go away.

A vote for Pauline IS a vote for Pauline and all she stands for.

Trying to pretend it is some sort of 'clever statement' is plain silly.

There are many people who like her and believe every word she utters.

But they have the courage to state that and stick by their belief.

Did I hear the cock crow three times as you posted?
