I respect were your coming from Alex, I wish more people thought like you mate

and I count myself lucky that I live in a country were I can shoot my mouth off and bad mouth/question political figures/groups and the worst that probably can happen is people think your idiot tosser/wrong whatever.
But I understand amongst some new legislation that JH has in store, if re-elected, probably rubberstamped in 5 minutes with little time for scrutiny like most stuff is lately with the abused senate majority, is something about comments like mine on blogs and forums criticising the government(s) will be an act of sedition - so I am enjoying it while it lasts!
i think also criticising a vendor or business/lots of stuff on the net will be against the law.
and your right I am angry/hating, i am angry at the voters who gave these nutters carte blanche for a few pieces of silver, total control of the senate (wthell were they thinkin - were they even thinking?) and strangley trusted them to deliver on undeliverable promises, fell for the most inane bs i have evr heard in my life, and we all have to live with the consequences. blind freddy could tell what was comin, but no not the australian electorate.
i have heard that democracy is overrated, well after this little experience of misanthropic personality cult totalatarian dictatorship, i am shaken as to aussie values, i dont trust em anymore
its not my vote i'm worried about Geoff
