The welfare system is problematic because institutional apathy and red tape can create dependency in a lot of people. That being said I think it's dangerous to make generalisations about those who receive welfare. But yes Abbott's idea is stupid as usual.

It will be interesting, but unfortunately the general public are in favour of the censor. As someone posted earlier, most people see the dissenters as a bunch of spastic chansters who liek teh kiddie pr0nz.

yes that is the truth you freedom-hating commie I'd say that if he did have a stance, it would be a socially-conservative 'pro'. Then again, you never know, maybe the 'small l' liberal that I assume resides somewhere deep down inside him objects to it. And as disgraceful as it may be...

I'm pretty sure Abbott has hinted that he supports the filter. I say 'pretty sure' coz I can't be bothered to cite anything in support. Also more worryingly, it has general support amongst the population. What the fuck is wrong with Australians in general.

Pretty good for a first post.

You have seriously gone full retard with this post. You keep pulling shit out about 'land mark (sic) decisions' and how they will be remembered. EVERY Prime Minister makes landmark decisions. EVERY Prime Minister has at least one thing that defines their term in office. Using this criteria...

'It's something called international relations'. Nice. Do you have ANY clue what you are on about? Seriously, I'm not interested in getting into a heated discussion on these issues. I'll just say that it was dumb of us to participate in an invasion that had NO legal pretext and was supported on...

Political experience makes a hell of a difference to, firstly, political fortunes and secondly politicians' efficacy in parliament. I really love it how Howard supporters continually refer back to shit like this. Typical responses include: "Howard knew how to run a country" "Howard could make...

Seriously, fuck off. Are you saying that you are prepared to disregard the mass of political experience that Rudd has gained since he graduated from university (obviously Abbott has too but that is neither here nor there)? Anyone who supports the two-faced demagogue that is Tony Abbott...

Pointless statement

coz no one cares

You seriously have no fucking idea, do you.....

Even if this HC bill is a compromise, getting it passed in the super-partisan US politics of the Obama presidency proved to be one of the labours of Hercules. I say well done on America for taking a step towards the sort of universal healthcare that every other developed country has. Now to sit...

Chaos as Labor suspends QT to ambush Tony Abbott on health | The Australian Thoughts?

It's horrible. Please, someone fix it. DISCLAIMER: I make this plea as someone who knows nothing about the practicalities of fixing internet forums.

Not really. But I don't think that's very relevant because (assuming AGW = real) it's already been concluded that 'any means necessary' is not, uh, necessary.

Environment.

The mind of Tony Abbott: Bible = heritage Actual Australian Heritage = "Black armband view of history"

Ie populist retard? Fuck no
