Who you will vote for? and why?

Re: Election
 

Wont vote for anyone, not legitimate yet !!!

But if I could I would vote for Johnny..

Ok he is a bit of a twit at times, and does break his promises also.. but least you know where you stand with the old fart...

Kruddy.. just does as Kinnock used to in UK, and say the exact opposite to whoever was in power... Maggie at the time i think...

Better the devil you know i reckon

Re: Election
 

Librals, better the dog you know than the dog you don't know.

Re: Election
 

I wont vote for party of liers
i vote keven 07

Re: Election
 

Who are Librars?

What about Pauline Hanson's United Australia Party? She deserves more than being 'other'.

Re: Election
 

Pauline Hanson!! That racist?. I think she is a disgrace

Re: Election
 

In a democratic society everyone has the freedom to express their views and stand for parliament. Do you deny her that right?

Re: Election
 

I dont deny her that right as long she respect other, and not being racist, everybody knows she went to jail because of her racism.

Re: Election
 

She wasn't imprisoned for racism, she was convicted of electoral fraud and later aquitted.
And all the other pollies are honest???

Re: Election
 

she still racist

Re: Election
 

Hello,

I do follow some of the political issues going on in Australia out of interest, I am registered with the Prime Minister Media releases, also listen to some talk radio stations in OZ (via the internet), one thing must be said is that Johnny did well for Australia.

The Aussies think it is time for a change, fair enough JH is losing his credibility with broken promises and so on, but is there any real opposition that can take on JH? Kevin Rudd seems to be doing very well on the polls, but is he good enough to lead Australia (and his team)?

Re: Election
 

That is speculation, many Aussies don't think it is time for a change and there will be a change to Costello after a few years in any case. I seem to remember that the Welsh windbag, Kinnock, thought it was time for a change as well and he even thought he had won the election before the result was out.

Please list them all.

Re: Election
 

Can you please translate that into English?

Re: Election
 

ditto on all counts :thumbup:

Re: Election
 

I might sell my vote on ebay :)

Re: Election
 

Looks like Hanson has a point!

Re: Election
 

Didn't Howard steel all her polices at the last election anyway ?

Re: Election
 

Oh dear Mr Rudd....

Re: Election
 

:rofl:He obviously doesn't get fed at home.:rofl:

Re: Election
 

Kruddy.. apparently clocked doin 90 !!!!

Yep 90 !!!!

90 blinks per minute...

Shifty Character if you ask me,, wasnt his nick name BOXHEAD?

Re: Election
 

cant vote yet unfortunately but if I could it would be Kevin all the way, Johnny Boy has completely lost touch ...if he ever had it in the first place!

Re: Election
 

:lol:

Re: Election
 

The near 60% support for the Liberals in this poll is interesting and is in complete contrast to national polls.
I think it's because many poms have seen the cock-up that a quasi-socialist, namby-pamby government has made in the UK and realise that a KRudd/Gillard government will do the same here.

Heaven help us.

Re: Election
 

I think that's true, also most of the Poms who come here tend to be entrepreneurial and have worked for a living rather than being dole bludgers so they would favour the liberals in any case.

The trouble with socialist governments is they say one thing and do another, relying more on spin and soundbites to gain and stay in power rather than facts and substance. Oh well, if Rudd gets in I suppose we must forgive the electorate for they know not what they do.

Re: Election
 

it's a worry...... :huh:

Re: Election
 

But will we forgive them for giving us a recession that we never needed to have?

Re: Election
 

I'd like to know where they conduct their polls. Obviously if it is conducted in a Labor prefered seat then it is sure to favour Krudd. I have never been asked to take part in any poll.

Re: Election
 

Thank goodness you haven't been asked then!! What Has JH done for this country exactly - and what are his policies for the future???? All he does is carry out a negative campaign. The Economic success is down to Australia's fortunate position of being resources rich. We need someone who is new - nothing wrong with Britain's economy - it's still the 4th or 5th Richest nation in the world.

So vote Howard and get Slimey sleezy grinning Costello??????

I love politics!! :O)

Re: Election
 

Vote Howard and get 25 nuclear power stations

Re: Election
 

If carbon emissions are to be significantly reduced without affecting economic growth then we are going to need nukes. Nothing else can provide the big base loads that are required to run a modern economy without emissions. 5-6 nukes would do it. 1-2 in Qld, 1 in NSW, Vic. and SA and 1 in WA.

Re: Election
 

Nah, the difference is that the sort of people that are more likely to vote in meaningless forum polls are the sort of people that would vote Liberal.

Did I vote? ... oh yeh so I did ... bugger, it's blown my argument then :D

Re: Election
 

Then we could sell more coal to China, after all they a building a power station a week, or something like that.

Even if Australia switches off everything, China will make up for the reduction in CO2 within a six weeks. That's why Krudds whole climate change electioneering is a load of bollox.

Re: Election
 

I agree that unless we can get China, India and America to stop polluting anything we do is a drop in the ocean. Therefore let's try to go for clean coal power and leave the uranium where it belongs - in the ground.

Re: Election
 

Clean coal is part of the solution but only part. If you want a booming economy with zero emissions then it will need to be a combination of nukes, clean coal, gas, solar, wind and wave.

Re: Election
 

I'll take some emissions and leave the nuclear thanks.

Re: Election
 

With all the hysteria (which it is) over man-made CO2 then nuclear is the future.

Re: Election
 

That does raise a good point. What is the point in going nuclear when the amount of CO2 we generate is minimal. I don't even see the point in bothering with clean coal for domestic consumption, unless we can sell it to the Chinese.

Re: Election
 

Because the GW bandwagon/gravy train (delete as applicable) is everything now and any politician that does not sign-up will be slaughtered come election day.

Re: Election
 

But if we develop the technology it will be very valuable when China India and the USA eventually jump on the band wagon.

Re: Election
 

Where's the "Who cares" option? :zzz:
