I'm not defending the right to imprison him without charge, but rather I'm merely attempting to convey that I believe that Andrews actions in relation to the visa cancellation were more than likely correct. The issue of being detained for such an extensive period for the purposes of...

The reasonable suspicion was founded upon the information obtained by the AFP (most of which is unknown to the media and the public), and regardless of the lack of evidence to establish a brief to substantiate the allegations at court, the suspicion still exists. The actions in revoking...

Forgive me for failing to realise how easy it would have been to judge the speed of vehicle travelling in excess of 30 Km/h over the speed limit in the opposite direction. Speed limits exist for a reason, and one of those reasons is to assist in the decision making process when making turns...

Of course, it was the fault of the deceased couple..

I see 'intelligence' as a complete form, extending beyond the academic ability. So my inferiority complex would be directed to much more complete individuals.. Provide to me one example, of a social theory or a social theoriser that has made a clear contribution to a solution of one of...

You can't presume to know me, or my views in relation to the sexual abuse of Aboriginal children, or children in general. Their background is irrelevant here. Steps need to be taken to address the issue, irrespective of the impact upon their 'aboriginality'. I have not for one moment, altered my...

This isn't and should not be about preserving the 'rights of the Aboriginal population. It is about the rights of the child and our obligations under the CROC. The lefties and bleeding hearts will deploy the 'electioneering' and 'racist' overtones, however I would much prefer to place the plight...

Of course. Take all the advertising and spin away, and let the electorate well and truly decide.

A non-interventionist approach has failed over the past two decades, and irrespective of the qualms academics will have in relation to the impact it will have upon'Aboriginal Land Rights', the Convention on the Rights of Child implores the government to act and place the interests of the...

The ALP criticising the Liberal Party for flawed preselection and extremist views? THe same old hypocrisy.. It would have been wise to choose an MP to convey this issue who is not a member of the hard left of the Labor left... makes an incredible issue, even more incredible..

Point taken, however, the relevance of the union role in the determination of policy and agenda within the party in much more influential than this 'dark influence' to which you refer. Of course the influence of business in relation to the Coalition is not as explicit as union influence in the...

Definitely True. It is not always indicative, but in many cases is. The interesting thing is, the vast majority of big business interests that supposedly 'influence' the Coalition, make equal donations and the like to Labor in an attempt to court both sides (as you point out). As for the...

Edit: Tuesday question time. The point is that the ALP represent the unions, which represents an ever decreasing proporition of the workforce. The government is highlighting that a party that is so heavily influenced by such an interest group is becoming less and less representative in the...

If the electorate is so burdened and aghast at the new laws, then why does there need to be so much effort put into the union campagin? It is more about union survival than a heart felt concern about the plight of the worker. They're scared, and the every last penny that they are allocating...

Just to ease Neb's concerns, a Morgan Poll out today has ALP in front by a massive 58-42 on a 2PP basis... Confirms that galaxy was a rogue poll...

This idea that our involvement in the Iraq War has increased the risk to our national security is another attempt by many on the left to relate terrorist action as a derivative actions of the United States, and somehow hold the US responsible for the attacks that occur around the world. New...

Isn't that called communism? Actually, I have an idea. We should make it that only Federal Politicians can vote. That way, with the current standings, the government would never be thrown out. Academics and the elite purport to have all the answers to society's ills, yet to this point...

Agree 100%. Does anyone here know that a verb is not a 'doing word' as you are taught at school? They claim that we are monolingual, but aren't most nations? I certainly don't see the Chinese President or Japanese Prime Minister speaking english.

I think its rather disconcerting that we have migrants entering the country with dormant tuberculosis and other highly dangerous and infective diseases. The government implemented policies and procedures many years ago to ensure that we were able to control and eradicate such diseases. There are...
