I don't vote Green because they support gay marriages, I vote Green because they take global warming seriously. I respect them for their progressive policies which makes it easier to support them. If Turnbull had led the Liberals at the last election I would have voted Liberal in the house of reps for the first time in my life. Ostensibly because it would have garaunteed a much smoother transition to a price on carbon, and who knows he might have dragged the Liberal Party out of the 20th Century.

I come from a staunch Labor family and growing up was a big fan of Keating. I believe in the union and was a union rep for about ten years. I joined the Labor party when I was about 23 and allowed my membership to lapse soon afterwards. I tried to rejoin in my late twenties but they politely declined. I guess stapling my membership application form to a placard condemning Bob Carr didn't do me any favours. Bob Brown was my last political hero, I'm currently looking for a new one.

Darling?

That's awkward. Anyways, I was referring to john_g, who has just promised lifetime fealty to the Liberal Party.

Personally, I'm one of those true believers who has voted Green for the last few elections. I'm tempted to vote Labor in the lower house at the next election as a thank you to Gillard for shepherding through the carbon tax.

mind you he hasnt done it yet.....

hey maybe it will be someone who has passed or is in a Lebanon  Jail...


30 minutes AP...thats a lot to talk about..

Let me ask all you Leftards a very simple question. If, as he claims, Thomson is innocent, why does he not hold a news conference to air his side of the story in full without anything left out - including any allegations he may want to make as to who is responsible for supposedly framing him? Why will he only name names in parliament under parliamentary priviledge where he cannot be sued for defamation? If he really were so certain of his innocence, he would speak out freely and would dare anyone to sue him for defamation.

Obviously, he is too cowardly and too guilty to even contemplate such honourable action.
