Just as I'm sure you'll agree it should be as laid out under law and accountable without born again, Pentecostal Morrison's Millwall stance of nobody likes us but we don't care, constant degrading and xenophobic stance in order to win over a certain, unfortunately large element right wing and bogan elements of the population.

Its like the moron Bill Shorten. All he does is attack the Libs with criticisms. He comes up with zero ideas of his own.

If this country wants a viable alternative, there you have it my friends. Bill Shorten and Christine Milne. God help Australia.
Firstly it is not a Liberal government. Liberal traditions of old have been thrashed by this lot of right wing ideologues. They have nothing to offer ordinary people.

No there is little on offer. Australia is a nation with poor governance regardless of colour of politics. Ruled by polls and sound bites and a generally illiterate politically public.

As I told a Scottish Oz friend (5 years Oz citizen) at weekend (with strong WASPish attitudes) who complained about too many 'Indians' etc. in Melbourne ('runaway population growth'), like his relatives there do as well, why don't you go home?

Issue for me (born bred in Oz bush) and other Australians is when newer immigrants want to lift up the drawbridge, after they have arrived, and use 'lifeboat ethics' arguments to justify, to maintain status quo, or is it something deeper and nastier?

Not really. Its just methods of slowing down those who wish to travel by dangerous seas to Australia and to discourage the criminal elements who make a living from it. Something the labour govt were trying too but never had the balls to complete.

It's there. Quite a lot of internet is being wasted on a stupid question. And now we're seeing avoidance in answering my question. Do you knuckle draggers have any other way of debating?

There is no answer but excellent try though.

So there we have it. No ideas, no creativity, just more wasted left wing rhetoric.
