Shadow Minister,

Your comments about the "left-wing," bias presumes that
you are the fountain of knowledge to which we should
all aspire. Today - we are a collectively more
educated and informed society and simple sloganeering
with left and right bias no longer holds sway.
Members like Tony Abbott and others - it seems are slow to
learn this lesson. Political protagonists are more
likely to identify themselves as conservative or
progressive rather than right or left.
Besides - no decision has yet been made by the government
on the Ruddock Review. Perhaps we should wait and see.

Shadow, is that the general opinion of that bunch of conservative lunatics, laughingly called a Coalition government in Canberra. Are you still a supporter, or like the vast majority have you also given up on the useless fools?

Foxy is correct, stop being an anachronistic hang over from the cold war with your right left nonsense, modern thinking has it as progressives versus conservatives. Progressive thinking is that these religious bigots need to be brought into line with the rest of the community, no exceptions.

Paul, again shooting your mouth off with flawed and biased self glory as if you and your followers know what your talking about.
Remember, every time you say something, it only confirms you are further out of touch than originally thought.
You totally ignore the sacred words;
'It is better to be thought of a fool, than to open your mouth and have it confirmed'.
Once more you display your arrogance and ignorance by daring to make a sweeping statement about something you know NOTHING about and even less to do with.
When you speak of words like bigot, progressive and conservative, I'll bet you think your contributing to this forum, well guess what?
Your contributions are just emotional ramblings of a jumped up, know it all loser, that is so blinded with rage it has infected your mind and will not allow you to look at the 'whole' picture, only what you want to see.
And shut up with the anti right, left, sermon, you are a boron and have not a clue of what you speak.
Who are these 'modern thinkers' you so enthusiastically promote?
Because you have tried to raise the subject as if they actually exist, let alone as the new standard, you have destroyed what little cred you had and in doing so have relegated this progressive and conservative crap to the rubbish bin from whence it came.
Who the hell do you think you are, to attempt to pass judgement on something you have NO idea about.
What religion are you?
No?
Nothing?
Well then shut up, until you believe in something bigger and better than yourself, you are a nobody trying to shirt front everyone and everything in an effort to retain some of that long lost pride and self worth.
Is that enough 'right' for you, you left loony.

Foxy,

Terminology such as left and right wing are still common parlance probably because the terms progressive and conservative are so poorly used. For example Margret Thatcher's revolutionary re-positioning of world's economics was more progressive than any left whinge government in history, while many of those that laughingly call themselves progressive are more intolerant and oppressive than anyone else.

Paul,

Coming from a far left whinge lunatic fringe party who most people laugh at, you have used the left/right terminology as much as anyone else.

Unsurprisingly, you want to stamp out any deviations from your new "progressive" orthodoxy.

ALTRAV, you are the personification of ignorance, taken in by the superstition of religion, nothing I can do about that. You totally ignore the slightest possibility that you could ever bring yourself to support modern progressive thinking, on any subject, or the fact you are wrong on most subjects. Australians generally support a mix of progressive and conservative ideas when it comes to politics, oh no not you. ALTRAV the totally conservative retrograde, who still lives with the belief that the "reds are under the beds", and all that cold war ideological nonsense. You go beyond conservatism to extremism at times, choosing to be one of those rare breeds who clings to the unreal world of fantasy. Just take you attitude to women, according to you they should not even be allowed to hold political office, who else in Australia would think like that, other than the lunatic fringe dwellers. Then there is your bigoted attitude towards Aboriginals, gays and any other "not like you" minority. What about your fanciful notion that democracy should be turfed out in favour of some political system that would have the lunatic un-elected fringe dwellers, which would include you of course, the guru of everything that is fair and reasonable, dictating to the elected all male representatives what laws can be enacted, such pomposity on your part. Other than draconian laws targeting undesirable minorities, not many, given your extremists ways of thinking. You are laughable, and thankfully will never get the opperunity to enact your brand of extremism!

Shadow, the only ones being laughed at is this incompetent train wreck of a government in Canberra you supposedly support, even you no longer say you support it, I wonder why! One can only imagine the damage these retards led by ScumMo and co are doing to Australia. We will find out eventually when they are turfed out on their ear, and a decent, competent, Shorten Labor government assumes control, and opens the closet door to reveal the putrid mess left behind by the band of Nohopers.
