The Liberal party has finally gone on the attack against the so-called climate independents linked to the "moderately wealthy" talking head, Simon Holmes a Court.

But what the Liberals should know by now, after the SA election, is that conservative voters might be inclined to vote for them, or Labor, to get rid of the wet left Liberals these people are standing against: like Sharma, who doesn't even mention the Liberal party on his website, and Tim Wilson and Zimmerman, to name just three.

Just a thought. I know that there are a lot more conservatives than me who will not touch the Liberal party while it has the likes of these 'moderates' in it.

These days, we have the UAP, Liberal Democrats and One Nation to put above the Liberals.

ttbn,
I agree, they're all letting us down because many among us voters let them & us down.
I'd love to see a party putting forward a proposal for a National Service & no-one who hasn't participated in the NS can get a job in the public Service !
Would any of the present Pollies have big enough swingers ?

ttbn, why do you equate Conservatives with Climate Delusionalists? Plenty of conservatives around the world accept the science; it's only really here and in America that a large proportion don't.

But considering how badly the Australian Conservative Party did at the last Federal election, I doubt it matters anyway. You can't prevent dinosaurs from dying off!

individual,
You don't seem to have any idea how lunatic fringe your ideas are. Any major party that tried to bring back National Service would be reduced to a cricket team, and any minor party that tried it would be left with too few members to play golf!

Besides, we need a capable public service, not one with artificial restrictions on who can work there.

Exercise in futility by a small disgruntled mob of hard right conservatives. The Australian Conservatives stood up at the last election, after the votes were counted Corny Banana and his AC Party disintegrated with less than half a percent of the popular vote.

The three mock extreme parties mentioned in the opening post will have little to no influence on the final outcome, most of their votes will simply gravitate back to the Liberal Party. Hanson, Palmer and What's His Name, three stooges to rival Moe, Larry and Curly.

Hi Aidan,

You may not be aware that Indy, many years back, let it be known on this forum that he had been a minor functionary in the Public Service himself, but was dismissed around the time of the Whitlam Government for incompetence, or let go for some reason. He never took part in National Service during the Vietnam War years. He did claim alien status prevented him from serving, but when he became an Australian citizen he still failed to enlist, although eligible for military service at the time, he claimed it would interfere with his dole payments.

I have put up the notion of a Seniors National Service, but I can't get Indy enthused about the idea, and he would be first in line for the OLO Platoon along with ttbn, CM, Hassy, mhaze and a couple of other chocolates, all under the command of Corporal Issy (Is Mise). The first project for the lads is a hand dug tunnel through the Great Dividing Range to divert the Brisbane River west! This will create a great inland sea, suitable for weekend amateur fun lovers, fishing, boating and other funzy things. That should keep the lads busy for a few weeks, or a couple of months.

Aidan

I do not "equate Conservatives with Climate Delusionalists". It is the left that has the delusions about climate change and its cause.
