Labor isn't the party it used to be.

Then again, neither are the Liberals.

What used to be a standard conservative party with specific ideals has become a front for corporate fascism and the neo-conservative movement that started in the 80's.

They have become a right-wing extremist group with methods and strategies imported from the US Tea Party and are in the pocket of multinational corporations and media moguls and will continue to plunder the public purse with their privatisation agenda.

Silencing their critics and avoiding scrutiny is also part of the plan.

Can you really trust these people to do what's right for you or what's right for their owners and handlers?

Forget GrainCorp.

I'm more interested in what Abbott has signed away on the TPP agreement. Corporations have been told what's in it but the public hasn't been told of all the effects.
Where was the debate?

Howard's FTA with the US hurt the local beef industry, increased the cost of pharmaceuticals and even put control of our own blood supplies into the hands of a discredited US corporation.

There was not much mention of those things in the media and we will just have to find out as it goes along.

Disgraceful.
