That's the way things go I don't see it as good or bad ..things just are.

Yeah your absolutely right.
But the other biggest restriction in Australia of all, which you don't mention, is the introduction of the archaic sedition laws due the "war". You speak against the government and you could end up serving more time in jail than for just murdering someone. Surely this is the best way to legally silence someone.
Perversely, while the Johnny and Kev are going hammer and tong with their phoney tit-for-tat dirty politics, smear and - surely their own bad behaviours are already putting the Parliament into disrepute. Isn't this also just another example of sedition?

[The reality with the dirty politics at the moment, perhaps SEDITION isn't the real problem here. Perhaps what we REALLY need for them all is some SEDATION ! Perhaps then they would not be acting like Naughty School Boys and Girls and embarrassing all of us?]
