jurplesman, when you wrote "It's the people of Australia who chose parliament and that passed a law to have "carbon tax".", I read it as a simple statement of fact but your attackers read it as an opinion. Many posters on OLO mistake fact for opinion, and you have rattled their cage by disagreeing with them, you lier!

To avoid going in circles I will now consider this discussion to be closed.

I am afraid it is not closed, runner like a very poor post before has entered the fray armed with hands full of the product of the southern end of a north bound male cow!
Let us not get angry.
But consider for a time his charge and those against Oakshot and Windsor.
*They betrayed party's they are not members of*
*They killed Democracy*
Now if they groveled at the feet of the increasingly redneck party they left?
Why is it, now think about it, Katter not a traitor?
Our future is Conservative/Liberal Government, we must confront that.
Not because our policy's are wrong or bad.
But because my ALP refuses to even consider it is not THEIR PARTY, not ALP PTY LTD!
It is the party of the people, mainstream Australia, not greens, and not the DYSFUNCTIONAL GILLARD TEAM!
Lies are selling for Abbott,silly things like runners words, the words of an unmentionable above.
But in the end my party is crippled by three stupid monkeys
One refuses to see the polls/publics views
One will not hear our voice
One will not tell the truths he knows.
It Is Time!

jurplesman,

Your posts include many opinions stated as fact, with no supporting links whatsoever.

1 The carbon tax lie. Gillard made a very specific solemn promise to the electorate. The excuse that promises don't count because of the hung parliament is one that labor tried to sell, but has failed miserably. A promise is a promise. The second excuse that Labor always wanted a price on carbon if true means that the promise was a bald faced lie. That Juliar pushed Rudd to drop the ETS, shows how two faced she is.

2. Asylum seekers. Juliar stated firmly that Labor would not send asylum seekers to any country that was not a signatory to the UNHCR. The coalition has been prepared to compromise on everything except this point. Even Peter Van Onselen a former labor voter, says that Gillard's statement that the coalition hasn't moved an inch is a lie.

J..In other words you are saying that independents and the Greens are not entitled to have a vote In parliament. These are politicians chosen by their constituents by a section of Australians!

And ...The reality is Parliament has been chosen by the people, including me, whether you like it not

This is the exact point, the voters from these ind electorates didn't vote for labor, but their trusted (that's ONCE TRUSTED) members shat on them. I doubt either of them will have the courage to run next election, unless of cause they like being humiliated.

As for the greens, their problem is, they would like to see us all living in trees, riding bikes and mowing our lawns with push mower's, that's while they live in nice houses with all the mod cons, including man made solar systems.

And as for the people having elected this parliament, you're kidding!

Now the last hung parliament, or at least unworkable one, was when that little twerp from Tasmania held the balance of power and, unless it pleased his religious followings, it never stood a chance of passing. And what happened to him next time!

I would also add that once the Howard government gained the vast majority in the house, the country boomed, unlike when Rudd held a huge majority, which by the way was slaughtered when Gillard went to the polls as she managed to turn an 85 seat strong hold into something like 72.

Yep, she sure is a ripper, or had you forgotten that.

The people dumped Gillard like a school bag, just not quite enough, then along came her white (green) night, in Bob Brown, plus the independents, one of which she shat on, but only once she had sured up her numbers with the slipper deal.

Continued.

Now J, You ask what's wrong with this hung parliament, well, firstly, we have a PM spending more time watching over her shoulder, as not only are her numbers so low, but she is under constant threat from within.

Now of cause there are the labor puppets who are quick to point out the record amount of legislation passed, but unless you can implement the same, it's a bit like Greg Norman, going into the final round of the US Masters, whereby he led by 9 strokes, then went on to stuff up his putting and loose the un loose able.

That's what's wrong with this hung parliament, but it's easy to fix, just call an election, but labor simply don't have the balls for that, do they!
