Banjo,
Yeah but there are physical and neurological differences between Liberals and Conservatives and given that all politicians are Liberals in this country we might reasonably conclude that the minds of Liberals are more suited to the dynamic environment of government and so they seek out positions in the public service.
As I said, the Liberal mind also makes people very weak and vulnerable because the majority of them can't sense danger or react to a threatening situation, what's more they don't seem to process experiences of violence or confrontation in the same way that we do.
I've been in situations with Liberal friends where I've seen things happen right before us that they haven't, like the time I saw a drug affected woman forcefully kick her little girl who then ran and hid under an A-frame sign outside a shop. The mother was lining her up for another kick until I and the shopkeeper yelled at her and ran to intervene, after the woman had grabbed the kid and run away I still had to explain to my friend what had happened literally right under her nose. So she saw it but was unable to understand what was going on, it's not the only time it's happened and when I'm out and about with other Liberal minded friends or relatives (which is most of my acquaintances) I'm always on alert because they tend to wander straight into potentially dangerous situations, especially if they've had a drink or three.
Similarly when Liberals do experience a confrontation or an attack they don't process it in the same way as we do, that's how it's possible for Amanda Kijera a White female aid worker who was raped in Haiti to pen this:

Jay,

<<Liberal Activist Goes to Haiti - Gets Raped - Blames White Men>>

A version of the Stockholm Syndrome.

It is now a much used template:
-Uthman Badar on another thread [Criminalising solidarity with Syria] tells us that all the woes that afflict Mulsims are the doings of white men.
-Aboriginals activists --and their lefty allies --have been telling us for years that all the woes that afflict Aborigines are the doings of white men.
-And if you go to our universities many of the lectures will tell you the same.

Jay, this site being in Australia should use Liberals and conservatives
almost interchangeably. You have I think, been reading too many US sites.
There you can almost use lefties and liberals almost interchangeably.

Can we at least use semi standardised Australian terminology here ?

Bazz, a Liberal in 2013 is someone who believes that the primary function of the state is to make everyone equal, so all Australian politicians and intellectuals are Liberals. Tony Abbott, Warren Truss,Christine Milne and Bill Shorten all agree on a set of principles and adhere to the same ethical or moral framework, formal equality and equal opportunity for all.
Trotskyites and Anarcho Communists don't treat everyone equally, neither do groups like Golden Dawn, they're the real Leftists and Rightists, everyone else is a Liberal.
I disagree with your point about using "Australian" terms, those terms are obsolete as we now live in a world of global politics, Obama is a Liberal,so is Mitt Romney and so are Putin, Hollande, Cameron and all the others. If you don't accept the idea that all people are inherently equal and that where inequalities exist it's the job of the state to alleviate them then you're in the opposition camp, that's all there is to politics, Liberals and Anti Liberals.

>>So what do we do if the Human Rights and (More)Equal (than some) Rights Commission (Germane Greer like) decrees tomorrow that it is improper or down-NON-right chauvinist --and evidence of our imperialist-orientalist-racist tendencies -- to even think of imposing our standards on the adherents of religion X?<<

Move back home: out of the weird parallel universe where the Human Rights and Equal Inopportunities Comission have the power to pass Acts of Parliament and into a more familiar reality where only Parliament can pass acts of Parliament. Except there's no need to move because we're already here. Isn't that convenient?

If the Parliament enacts unfavourable changes to the law the first thing to do is wait till the next election and vote out the Government that passed such ridiculous laws. In both houses. The next step is to lobby the incoming Government to repeal the stupid laws. It's called parliamentary democracy. If you don't like it you're welcome to move to an autocratically governed country. I hear those places are awesome.

Expecting our noble constabulary to be derelict in their duty of enforcing the law is a grave impugnment of their character and a gross insult to the dignity and professionalism with which they fulfill a difficult duty. Poor form, eagle-man.

Cheers,

Tony

You dont have to take my word for it (though my word should be enough!) I call as my first witness Dr Tanveer Ahmed
http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/author.asp?id=2080

What do you say on this matter Mr Ahmed?
"I have seen such differences, however, when police are asked to intervene in domestic violence cases where ethnic groups such as South Asian or Middle Eastern couples are involved. Police often keep greater distance in such cases, some believing that cultural factors are at play and the families and communities should be left to their own devices. We do not officially have parallel laws for other groups, but variable enforcement can have the same effect."

Any further comment Mr Ahmed?
I would just like to add that SPQR is a very fine fellow.And he is 100% correct in his summation.

You may step down, thankyou Mr Ahmed.
