You mean my current burgeoning plans to start the Grappler Party to rectify the ills of Australia, my promise to march on Canberra etc with a bill of demands to be rectified (at my age and condition).. a sort of Munich Beerhall Putsch moment to draw attention to the realities of a dying country.. all means nothing?
A political party is exactly that, it's not a 'person', it's a group of people with a common political agenda. And, the internet allows us to avoid the situation where a party is formed around the ego of one dominant individual, which is something that couldn't have been done 20 years ago.
The democratic election process obliges us to form our own parties if we aren't satisfied with the existing ones. In other words we don't really have the right to challenge a government publicly, that is if we are a political movement. Besides, it's too easy to say that a government is wrong. Most elected governments do their best, they fail because we voted them in, more than for any other reason. Politicians do what they are good at, (in the limited time that's between election campaigns) and that's being politicians.

It's the 'nation' of Aussieland that will do that, not Australia. And that happens because Aussies are a lay down and take it in the guts culture. It's behavior consistent with a people that have their origins in a penal colony. We are not 'I want some more' types, in fact the opposite. We have a spite against those that complain.
Quote:Tell YOURSELF what you can do for your country!
We are by default obliged to be patriots.
Quote:What are YOU doing?
My purpose here is to help put together a patriotic movement. Something I'd discussed with FD around the time of my first post.
Quote:And what has this to do with whether or not there is a gay marriage anti-lobby - something that cannot exist since there is no legitimate gay marriage.
It was legal in the ACT for a few weeks. Besides why wait, it would be too late when it is legislated. Something that is guaranteed to happen as the majority parties, being subject to chromosomal pressure, are pushed to the left.
And it did have nothing to do with gay marriage, but everything to do with hypocrisy. You denounce those who want to sip coffee and gripe rather than take action. And also those that wouldn't stand up and fight beside Ned Kelly. But it looks like you are very 'comfortable' here yourself.
The irony, Trestin Meacham is prepared to starve himself to death to defend conventional marriage, but the Crappler doesn't want to get up from his comfortable position and try and make a difference.
Quote:I plan neither to campaign for gay marriage or against it - it is a matter of indifference to me.
Then you've got a poor understanding of that particular issue. And a political 'party', as the term suggests, is not about "me".
Quote:What, good sir, is the import of your imputation that I am doing nothing? I do plenty just by being here and elsewhere, and damned well on only $135 a week.
Griping is doing nothing. It's a comfortable way of wasting time. And 'money' is an excuse. I'm not asking anyone to put in money. It's effort that is needed, only an hour a day on the internet would do.
It's strike three for you?
