Beach, good on ya old salt! The Fabians have landed, they have infiltrated every facet of society, so you and those cranky old right-wing reactionaries from the leafy burbs of Sydney would have us believe. Like a kind of retro McCarthyism you people see "Reds" here, there and everywhere, no doubt this forum is peppered with "them", I must be a Fabian. They are everywhere, just the other day I walked into me local butchery, to get a keg of snags for a bar-be, said "G'day Joe, are you a fab" Joe the butch, gave me a funny look and said "Nah, I'm a Reds supporter" a sure sign Joe's an undiagnosed Fabian. As I left I did overhear Joe saying to his off sider "that bloke said I was a fag.. me thinks him a bit strange." Strange me! That Joe is a bloody Fabian, but like a true Fabian, wont admit it! Beach, I found that interview with the Miss Marple character you posted to be right off the planet. Old salt all I can say to you is keep on believing it, you never know it might even come true one day.

Paul1405,

So are you saying that Julia Gillard lied about her membership and the influence of the Fabians in the Labor Party? Here is video of her reluctant admissions and attempted deflections in the 'People's Forum' in Perth, July 2012, where Bob Hawke was also referred to,

@ 0:45 and on

Gillard left no-one in any doubt that Fabian equals 'Progressives', but she was silent about the International Socialism agenda.

The Fabians are active in Left 'think tanks' like Get-Up as well, but maybe you are in denial about that too.

What about the present Labor leader Bill Shorten aka 'Whatever she says'? Would you also like to deny that he ever addressed the Fabians at their knees-ups? Or would you like to chance a different tack now?

Labor is now the Fabian Party aka 'Progressives' aka a subsidiary/franchise of International Socialism. As the self-acknowledged 'Wolves in Sheep's Clothing' the 'Progressives' in Labor are not going to be up for that though, now are they?

In lieu of,

"Labor is now the Fabian Party aka 'Progressives' aka a subsidiary/franchise of International Socialism. As the self-acknowledged 'Wolves in Sheep's Clothing' the 'Progressives' in Labor are not going to be up for that though, now are they?",

the last paragraph should read,

"Labor is now the Fabian Party aka 'Progressives' aka a subsidiary/franchise of International Socialism. As the self-acknowledged 'Wolves in Sheep's Clothing' the 'Progressives' in Labor are not going to be up for truth in naming and advertising as the Fabian/'Progressives'/International Socialist Party, now are they?"

I am experiencing very hard times trying to post in this thread but not on others or other sites e mail and news sites.
Lost two posts trying this morning and another this morning same yesterday but not any other place any one else?

Weird stuff.
Try once more Paul I worry less about the few ranters.
My concerns are at those we would call fellow travelers.
We confronted by the most right wing government in this country,s history must confront the truth.
We put them there.
Not you and me but the NSW filth the Criminals within the HSU, tack Gillards AWU scandal onto the list.
Some thing looking backs till stinks there not however the union/informant.
Then 2010 till last year.
What a lovely mess and yesterdays attempt by the right to do it all over in South Australia?
We put Tony Abbott in government.
And unless we both groups, lead in unmasking the filth he will remain there for a long time.
Those who insist on solidarity hiding the truth, are filth too!
Remember the world knows and pretending we do not will kill us

Beach, all a bit of a beat up to me by you and Miss Marple.

The Australian Fabians' Statement of Purpose states:

Australian Fabians promote the common good and foster the advance of social democracy in Australia through reasoned debate by:

a) Contributing to progressive political thinking by generating ideas that reflect a level of thinking that meets the challenges of the times.

b) Contributing to a progressive political culture by disseminating these ideas and getting them into the public domain.
c) Creating an active movement of people who identify with, are engaged in and who encourage progressive political debate and reform, and
d) Influencing the ideas and policies of political parties, especially the Australian Labor Party.

So states Wikipedia. I can hear you now. Oh! yes they would say that, BUT they just wont admit they are all a bunch of raving REDS!

Sound like a Labor Party/progressive think tank to me.

What do you make of this bunch:

The Centre for Independent Studies
The Institute of Public Affairs
The Sydney Institute
The Menzies Research Centre
The Page Research Centre

Any fascists amongst the above?
