Hi Greg,

Great to read your email !

It is already done...read on.

It only takes 10-15 minutes every 3 years ,to use the preferential system and number on the Senate ballot paper the 110 candidates below the line .
Not a big ask compared to having half one's face or testicles blown-off in Afghanistan.

By doing this , you can send the only message to the major parties, that they respect .

Every major problem we face from housing, university funding, child neglect, jails, environment, manufacturing collapse, casualization of the workforce, selling public assets, massive public/private borrowings, traffic chaos, growing poverty, social security blow-outs.....(.very happy to dialogue the back stories on all this)...is made catastrophically worse by one design blunder..................POPULATION GROWTH .

By preferencing the Stable Population Party first, then your major party second ( after that, just do the numbering because it won't matter ), we have a chance to turn the place around.

The positive message is that we have designed the mess in, so we can design it out .

Very best Greg ,

Ralph

I found a number of references by googling it and an ABC record of
Joe Hockey in the lastweek. Some of the links wed nowhere probably
because the originals had been deleted.
You could try tracking them back but as I remeber it all myself I don't
really want to put the effort into it.

"Was it equally as naughty for Labour when in opposition to release its
details at 5pm on the Friday before the election day ?"

Just as I suspected......

P,

This should resolve how Labor ensured in 2007 that its costings were never done before the election.

Thank you, SM,

"By submitting 104 policies with three working days or less to the election, Labor knew they could either not be costed or, if they were, it would be too late for any critical analysis," Mr Costello said."

Just wanted to get it straight.
