Personally, I couldn't care either way, but there are valid points to both sides of the arguement and laws should not be changed to apease a minority. Best way is to put the vote to the Australian public then it will be a true reflection of what the public wants. To do it any other way is just undemocratic.
Whats going on in that pic. Big superman style punch with left hand down. The other guy dont look like he is wearing gloves. And heavyweight, huh, Abbott would be lucky to be a middle
atsch The irony. Each time you use the word religion substitute greenie votes and you described Gillard exactly. Penny Wong as prime minister - what a joke. Not even an unconscious voter would choose that clown.
I don't know that it effects enough people in any real adverse way to warrant spending billions on a referendum, but like I said, it won't get passed through parliament without the liberals support However, as I said, I applaud labor having the debate to possibly warrant changing their policy, it's hard to be critical of open mindedly talking about the implications
We've been through this last week, we all know Abbott would have formed government with the greens & independents if he could have, he courted them as Gillard did, labour is just dealing with the reality of a hung parliament & has actually surprised a lot of people under the circumstances
What policy are you referring to? And BTW party policy aligned voting is a feature of all political parties. Sort of goes hand in hand with being in tune with your fellow party members. So lets not pretend there is some moralistic or any other reason for Abbot to shatter the conception of an effective opposition. :deal
Except he did not need all of them as Labor has - substantial difference in a woulda coulda shoulda debate. Gillard certainly has surprised a lot of people under the circumstances. With Labor bias and propaganda of the last decade I thought for sure they would be a lock for the next 3 terms but Gillard / Rudd / have pissed that away.
I was refering to the same sex marriage debate & the conscience vote that is being planned Obviously a conscience vote is a vote that doesnt rely on the party line or current policy & gives the members a chance to vote according to their own views, a pretty mature approach i'd have thought Like i said its a pity the Liberals wont do the same
Both parties had a chance to win support to form government, to suggest that Abbott wouldn't have met some of their demands if it made him prime minister is bull****, the greens & independents saw labor as a more appropriate option
1. yeah. morals are really ****ed.... 2. and when did julia finally 'come out'? i thought she was still hiding her lesbianism behind her poofter 'boyfriend'?
Morals pertain to your own personal code, we all have different ideas & standards Thanks for the Puerile little edit, you shouldn't have attempted a sensible criticism in the first instance if you were going to follow it up with that ****
1. your 1st quote and your 4th, proves your confusion. and no, most of us have simmilar moral standards. sometimes we break them 2. i hope you have benefited. 3.kicking your ass is not an 'attempt'. 4. just the facts, jack. may we never forget indira naidoo and gillard flirting together on ABC tv before gillard was PM. try and find that little piece of aus film history. well hidden id say... .
