Does Ozpolitic aim to be unbiased and politically independent?

I will attempt that in the forum. The other articles are going to reflect whatever views the authors have. However, I will host articles from a variety of sources if they become available.

why does the Australia Peoples Party get a prominent link on the menu bar, plus substantial space to outline its policies, and the gripes of its founder?

At the moment the APP get's it's own special tab because so far only Stu and I (with a little help) have put articles together. It will get rearranged if we get more people contributing. I used to have a separate tab for the green tax shift, the evolution and the gardening articles until it started to get too crowded.

If labor, liberal, the greens or any other party were prepared to put their policies up here I would host them. I consider Stu's pages to be a contribution to this site. If it starts affecting how I host this forum or what I allow in other articles, I'm sure you'll let me know. I am looking for more contributors to this site. If you are prepared to put in a bit of work on a document, I will host it for you as an article.

Will Ozpolitic offer the same exposure to every political alliance, independent candidate and registered political party in Australia?

Sure, if they want. It's not any restrictions on my part that is stopping that. It's more that those parties are unwilling to give OzPolitic the exposure. You'll notice that Stu is starting to put his stuff to the official tapp site. I doubt we'll get much more content from him either.

Also, what does Green Tax Shift and Evolution have to do with politics? Or are these just interests of the sites owners?

They are my interests, but they are very political. I'm surprised you left gardening out as that is harder to justify. A green tax shift is currently being discussed in the media by the mahor aprties as an alternative to carbon trading, as a solution to global warming. It is very relevant at the moment. The evolution thing is a solution to the creationism vs evolution problem, which never seems to go away. What gets taught to our children and where is always a contentious political issue.

If Ozpolitic is biased, this should be stated on the home page.

I think I have explained the situation on the home page. Also, Stu and I have significantly different political views, so I'm not sure how I would explain the 'bias' even if there was any. The main reason I host Stu's stuff is that I started this site around the time Stu was getting his party started via Cracker. I was criticising him because his policies were not available online anywhere and people had to email him for them. I thought it would be better to have them online so people could discuss them.

If you know a few more 'lefties' feel free to invite them.
