Hi all. That is how I scored. No extremes or left or right. I have a hard time with extremist anyway.


CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding government

control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on

the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention

and sometimes support individual freedom of choice.

Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind,

tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what

they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.



The RED DOT on the Chart shows where you fit on the political map.



Your PERSONAL issues Score is 60%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 60%.

Plus, the last question about the govt. reducing spending 50 percent isn't realistic and could shut down a govt. lol I answered yes because the govt. needs to reduce spending.  Smiley

Enviro, I don't know what is going in Austalia since I don't live there. My suggestion is conservation for water and energy needs. And looking for other sources.
What do the percentages mean in the poll?

When you say 'Conservation' does that make you a fan of using penalties for reduction of consumption?
Or
Would you rather see infrastructure changed to achieve higher production to meet all needs?

Do you recycle sewerage for drinking water in your country?

Im from the USA.  Some places here recycle water. I think in Arizona all the water is recycled. In the town where I live the water is yucky and sometimes people get sick.  Sad lol It should be penalties for over use not a reduction, ideally. In the summer the town is put on water restrictions only one side of the street can water their lawns and the next day the other side can. And lakes get dried out some years.

It sounds like Australia has been a lucky country up until now. We have been in a drought for 6 to 8 years and our water is reducing dramatically. We all use to take water for granted in this country but not no more. Our leaders are not really doing anything about the water issue except praying for rain. Some suggestions have been desalination plants, recycling waste water and higher prices to reduce consumption. I believe they will use higher prices initially whilst they build the infrastructure for either or both desalination plant and recycled water which may take years.

Which of the options would you choose;

  • Desalination Plant

  • Recycled Water


or

  • Higher Prices?



Do you filter your tap water?

Answer your question since Im online lol I think both desalination plants
recycled water is great. I hope your leaders get going on this subject. I try to contact my leaders once in awhile. They seemed more bothered then anything.
Whats with all the smileys? I think there has been a drought here to although not really severe. The weather  and global warming may have something to with it, maybe even El Nino aka global warming to me. Smiley

We're starting to get a bit off topic here so I'll look forward to reading some of your other postings in OzPolitic threads.

Please remember if you write an opinion be prepared to be rebuked and rebuffed....

I did the Leader Test on the "What Famous Leader Are You?" link. I only chose 18 questions and the answer does not surprise me considering I was born the day after JFK died.
