Belly,

Leaders of the Labor Party and practically all ministers when they were in government either used 'Fabian Socialist' or 'Progressive' to describe themselves. Both of which are covers the same thing, International Socialism. Fact is, they cannot be relied upon to put Labor first let alone Australia. Where they say they are signed up to International Socialism people should take them at their word.

To add insult to injury, while voters though they were electing women to uphold traditional Labor values, in fact those women were already secretly sworn to the beliefs and interests of (left) Emily's List. Emily's List is about cronyism, manipulating people and events to install them in jobs in lieu of more deserving people, including women of course.

What about some truth in Labor advertising? Labor is long lost, the victim of a takeover. Here, in passing, Pickering describes the culture of Labor. If he is wrong, sue him:

Instead of providing argument to counter Cory Bernardi's honestly held views you try to poison the well by attacking him personally. If only some of those Labor leaders who mislead you by posing as traditional Labor when they serve other interests, but especially their own, would be as straight down the line as Cory Bernardi. Agree or disagree, he is a straight shooter.

Now, would you like to confirm or deny that Bill Shorten is a Fabian?

As a concession to Belly it should be stated up-front that while senior Labor figures are Fabian aka 'Progressive' aka Internationalist Socialist, they are champions of capitalism when it comes to putting out their paws for extreme salaries and benefits, and parliamentary golden handshakes.

Why is it that regardless of their claimed humble beginnings, Labor ex-PMs are rolling in wealth and are international jet-setters?

Yet there are men and women who window shop steak at the local butchers and buy a small pack of Coles 'wonder bag' sausages instead, who worship the Julia Whatshernames and that fellow who replaced her, Mr Whatever-she-said'. A Coles banger would have more spine than Shorten.

Mr Whatever-she-said,

Dear Belly,

Senator Cory Bernardi has always been controversial
and now he's got a book to promote, "Conservative
Revolution." However Prime Minister Tony Abbott has
moved to distance himself from the Liberal Senator and
has stated that the Senator's views do not reflect those
of the government or government policy. In all fairness
to the Senator, he did not actually state that he's
against abortion, only that he wants to raise this, and
other issues for "discussion." Be that as it may, the
Senator is entitled to his views, and I dare say that
quite a few people in this country - will agree with him.

Cory Bernardi is a Lurch alright but he's no "right winger", Left vs Right is collectivism vs individualism, as a professing Christian Bernardi is definitely a collectivist and at the extreme Left theocracy sits beside Communism.

The beach comer is a bit of a spark. How about asking Abbott when the boats are going to stop as promised in the first 100 days. In the meanwhile Nauru is expanding like never before. So what happened to the tents. Some here are on very thin ice, even the tree planting exercise has been laughed out of existence.

Never hard to find a quote about Corey,usually he fights to be different than his party.
Y you are an strange bloke! how did you ever in this days climate think I was talking about that point.
Bazz well said but I disagree firmly, one bad apple mate.
Lets leave our biases in the bucket at the door.
Both sides have extreme members.
Rather pleased to say Labors nuts are never going to rule or have influence, we do have some.
Corey like an ex Liberal now PUP Palmer, has no chance of ruling us, not enough are willing to vote for them.
But Bernardi was a close mate to Abbott.
Let me be frank the type here who slander Labor as Fabian ext ext MUST confront this blokes radicalism and ask why he got a seat.
Hansen had no less radical thoughts and views and was dumped.
SOME of today,s Liberals are too far right and in the end see more supporters go than those they bring with them.
