Re: The Sensible Australian Election Thread
I wrote "When a party starts rolling out policies that restrict access/freedom of information then that's the time to be very wary of them. Hitler did exactly the same (ie restrict access to information) when the Nazis burnt the books."
Now that clearly compares restriction of access to information as the same thing as restricing access to information by buring books by the Nazis. Nowhere does it say that Labor/Gillard are the same as Hitler/Nazis.

It is a money saver in the long run because of illness prevention and unwanted pregnancies that be terminated without medical care. Harradines objection was for religious reasons.
I read up on RU486 and Abbott denied its availability as health minister. This was due to Abbott's religious beliefs.

NARU is much more of a problem than under employment. A certain level of unemployment is necessary, the economy is running close to its capacity hence the stubborn level of inflation even in a recession, yes yes you are quite right that the Gillard government *did* bring inflation into line with RBA targets just last week but all the press wants to talk about is KRudd.
This govenment has achievments to trumpet but the press wants to turn this election into an X factor personality contest, no politition dare say anything least it be hyper analyised on TV by the talking heads most of which are failed political staffers.

The public hears "you are behaving like Hitler by trying to restrict my access to child pr0n" they dont understand or believe either sides arguments [neither Gillard or Abbott are facists and why would you be fighting for child pr0n?] so they switch off.

Oh yes it is. Mate, I deal with employment issues everyday as it's what I do for a living. I can tell you right now Australia has an under-employment problem. This is a smoke screen to keep the unemployment rate down and make employment in Australia appear far better than what it actually is.
I haven't shifted my arguments at all and nobody has disproved any either.
you keep shifting your arguments everytime one of them gets disproved

I agree but I like some of the ideas like abolish income tax and abolish fractional reserve banking.

I don't see anything wrong with this myself. Many of the developing world's problems can be directly traced back to overpopulation and unsustainably soaring birth rates.
Lending a hand with some free condoms would be a good thing, and would have the benefit of annoying the Vatican...
