Hi there FOXY...

I was a bit surprised to hear your take on the journalistic abilities of Messrs Alan JONES, Andrew BOLT & ors. With respect, I would claim there's nothing pretentious about any of these right-wing commentators, other they're 'right wing,' as are Ms. SALES & Mr. CASSIDY, both of whom are in the employ of a very biased, left-wing ABC. An instance where the employee, must dance to the fiddler's tune.

That aside, there's little doubt in my mind that Al Jazeera is the official organ for Islamic Fundamentalism, and anything they say or claim should be scrutinized, to establish it's integrity, before accepting it as being correct?

The small group of folk that my Wife and I move in, none of them have ever claimed the ABC, as impartial, quite the contrary? Though most of us enjoy many of their presentations & doco's, their political 'stripes' are so overtly evident; it's almost comical. I realise, FOXY you're a devotee of the ABC, as am I. But not as far as sharing their political opinions.

By the way, FOXY, this very Topic - 'Alleged Bias of the ABC,' or similar, brought me in touch for the 'first time' with our good friend STEELEREDUX. A distinct pleasure I've enjoyed ever since!

Jayb RUOK bloke?
You are aware Labor getsmore first preference votes than any other party
That was it 70 percent voted for marriage equality?

Jayb.,

Nah. wrong again.

I'm a conservative.

I want to conserve what we have.
I don't want to take the country backwards.
I'm not a regressive.

But I don't have the time or the crayons to
explain things to you.

Dear O Sung Wu,

Thank You for your opinion.

Hi there JAYB...

Unless I misunderstood your last sentence JAYB; POIROT is a very well educated lady, who used to grace 'The Forum,' with her intelligent commentary & sharpish wit. Sadly we no longer hear from her now, which is a great pity in my view, and a tremendous loss too OLO.

Whereas, we're lucky to still have you FOXY, who is more than equal to the task, as it were - both intellectually and with your formidably 'cutting wit,' if and when deserved!

Belly: You are aware Labor gets more first preference votes than any other party.

All I can say is Thank God for Preferential Voting, where who ever you vote for, If your first preference is eliminated, then your second choice is counted. Which I think is fair enough.

That's why I put this up on Facebook.

NOW HEAR THIS.

The How to Vote Card is only the party’s idea of how they want you to vote. There is no compulsion to follow their suggestion.

How you vote, & in what order you place your Preferences, is in your hands & your hands only. No Party can tell you where to place your Preferences. That is for you & you only to decide.

Tell the big Party’s where to shove their Voting Preference Cards. Follow you own head & Heart.

VOTE & PREFERENCE WHO YOU WANT. NOT WHAT THEY WANT.
