With the exception of sonofgloin, the usual uneducated louts have uneccesarily demonstrated their ingrained stupidity, hatred of democracy and dedication to the counter-culture and nilihism. Not satisfied with just ignoring something they are not interested in, they feel the need to denigrate that which they know nothing about and that which threatens their ignorant arrogance and non-beliefs. Your fear is palpable, boys.

I don't know much about Major Bernie Gaynor retd. Some other here seem to know far less, but are quick to damn him, sight unseen.

However, from what I found in a quick search, such as this article by a Paul Sheehan who is an experienced, senior journalist for the Sydney Morning Herald, the Melbourne Age and in this case the Canberra Times, Major Gaynor would be a 'commitment politician', who can be trusted to do what he believes is best for Australia. To his great credit, he works within the law and uses the democratic processes.

So, I'm up for freedom of speech and good on him for having the courage and commitment to try politics. Whether he survives in that croc-infested swamp is in the lap of the gods. He is not a slimy, self-interested yes-man as so many politicians are, which is good but it will sure make his life more difficult, but more rewarding one would hope.

'ALA is anti Muslim and should be declared a terrorist organization.'

never heard ALA but surely they could not be as hateful, bigotted and violent as the socialist alliance.

Thank you fellow posters, mow let me see if I have got this right, extreme right in fact, I don't want to be left out on this. The ALA is not the ALP or the DLP, they are not even the ABC. They know who they are and its not the ANC.

They are well known to anyone who reads Larry's Pick'n His Nose Post, all three of them. Run by Bernard I forgot his name, who is Party president, chief cook and bottle washer, and the organisations general dog's body, who incidentally is considered an appealing spunk by old ladies who once voted Liberal and now think Malcolm T is the new Joe Stalin.
How am I going.

They are a Muslim party, keen on Israel, along with ham and spam, now that's something new. Me thinks Bernard would have problems winning a chook raffle, even holding all the tickets, no chance in the senate. LOL

Paul, I have never heard of the ALA before this thread, so I looked up the background of Bernard Gaynor.

He graduated from Duntroon Military Acedemy as an officer in the Auistralian army. He served in Aghanistan and in Iraq in 2006, 2008, and 2009 as an intelligence officer. He studied Arabic culture and received the meritorious sevice medal from the United States government. He has a BA in history and a certificate in Civil Engineering........and he believes that Islam is a threat to Australian democracy.

Yeah you are right Paul, what a loser with no concept or hands on experience of what he believes in..........whats your track record Paul?......what credibility, credentials, or hands on experience do you bring to your comments, excepting the ability to use a computer key board.

The workers who supported Labor in the past and have had it up to the back teeth with the direction Labor has taken under leaders like Gillard and Shorten will vote for this decorated soldier and family man who means what he says and does't bend over for the political correctness that has destroyed family values and is destroying Australia..
