that "Someone" was prob a greenie

is that the greens policy ?

The Greens can get excited when they get votes based on THEIR policies rather than people who just dislike labor and liberal. If compulsory voting was dumped 3/4 of the green vote woudl instantly disappear.

Didn't hear one single question about the way the Liberals destroyed the ETS yet is Such an important issue. And to me Abbott utterly failed to establish his own party as the alternative.

He and his party are showing far to much destruction of negative spin since becoming leader and that Im afraid may be damaging good governance and democracy.

I feel Abbott is 'desperate for the job' but I think his intention for that postion , is wrong.

LOL, Bates...show us your stats!

I agree that lefties would probably be more inclinded to opt out than right whingers, however, I'd like to know how in hell you drew that conclusion about Greens supporters in particular...

I reckon that the voting demographics would suggest otherwise - but I am prepared to both review the data you might present and listen to your POV...

Lamenting the shift in the Australian psyche, away from the egalitarian ideal of the fair-go - and the rise of short-sighted pollies, who worship the 'Growth Fairy' and seek to divide and conquer!

That'll be the day..... and it's sad, because we really did need a more neutral smaller party to keep both Labor and Liberal honest.

This opposed to preference whores.

Undecided

..Poor Bob, I think either he's a very good liar (I don't believe he is)...or he's very disappointed with his own party's decision to run with preferences...given he opposes preference voting full stop.

On this matter, he has my support, even if he is a coward.

Keating was the last PM with the guts to debate anyone properly.

You are an odd one to ask anyone for stats since you refuse to ever give them yourself!
