'OLO is a Conservative sight'

just happens that Saturday revealed that the majority of the Australian public voted conservative.

Notice? I am yet again ignoring rather than combat some.
I need to back up my stand and thoughts ,with those on my side.
After three years of flogging my own party and its wrongs I remain convinced it was right to do so.
Saturday saw folk full of hate and miss trust, honestly held views, shout Labor are all criminals, at me until my health forced me home.
5 weeks of that.
Even face to face death threats, on returning the challenge one then called the police!
Yet I know, for sure and certain, my party is on the way back.
But too, that every politician ever born fails to under stand how these myths grow, if not over and again killed off by us, in word and action.
Settle in relax Abbott has his upper house troubles but once Kevin leaves Parliament Labor will no longer be something Abbott/Murdock/Rienheart can take for granted.
Enjoy the ride it will be heavenly.
PS back in harness at my branch tonight with 5 new members!

Belly,

I hope your party comes good as they are a necessary part of our system.
From my limited point of view they became confused and lost their identity to some degree when they moved toward the centre of the political scene, unfortunately pushing the coalition further to the right in the process.
The coalition does now have a definite identity, like it or not and this is something Labor needs to do, pretty hard to hang your hat on exactly what they stand for right now.
I have no leanings one way or another but just observe the process of ego and ambition in play, sadly that is what most of it comes down to in our political scene. Not much else.

Take it easy.

Reasonable complaints given Julia Whatshername's form in protecting creeps.

What did you say in return to them? No-one believes 'It is all the MSM's fault' and had the desired censorship of the Gillard/Greens government applied few would ever have found out.

The fraudsters are bad enough, but ordinary folk have a right to be damned annoyed at the careerists in Parliament who always put their ambition first and wouldn't know *bleep* from clay anyhow.

Shouldn't the very well paid PM and ministers who said they represented ordinary folk have resigned in shame at the time? Now the same politicians either get another go or live very well forever and retired early on the golden handshakes paid for by the taxpayers.

What about Labor's treacherous sidekicks, the Greens Protest Party? Fat lot they did to 'keep the B's honest'. Although the Greens also stole that catchy phrase from Don Chipp and the Democrats.

Individual,
Can I tell you that the very successful Labor campaign in the communities where have just been was carried out by members of the Labor dominated teachers union, dressed in bright red uniforms with red caps who previously had door-knocked every home in the communities especially where there were school children and told them unmitigated lies about what the LNP would do to their schools, their staffs and their children's education.
On election day they conversed with the voters as they arrived in the native tongue denigrating the LNP workers and mocking them.
I listened to a day long tirade of abuse and intimidation without letting the Labor party workers know until voting had closed. Even then they thought it was a joke.
The community waste will be addressed have no fear about that.

chrisgaff1000,
Yep, I can concur with that. The tactics used by some ALP supporters was outright criminal & I think there needs to be some looking into this. Another story I heard today was that they're all going to lose their jobs if they voted for the Coalition.
