I've always thought that naiive was spelt naiive, not naive - am I wrong or has bloody american spelling ruined everything - why must I be able to spell in two languages just to blog on australian and american sites)<br /><br />anyway - some of the other topics you mentioned could be affected by an internet filter, particularly gay rights and the environment. Remember Howard and the 'if you comment we'll remove your funding' policy which impacted on various groups operating with social agendas? Too often it is about controlling the debate.Ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141432408537488025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-76191148000704369862010-07-19T23:19:12.659+10:002010-07-19T23:19:12.659+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389651479904502758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-85221559296217835412010-07-19T14:48:56.735+10:002010-07-19T14:48:56.735+10:00As much as I see there is a point to be made, I fe...As much as I see there is a point to be made, I feel there is far more to be addressed at this time, and yes I have written a letter, or an open letter which some have seen a draft of.<br /><br />Censorship isn't an issue at this time, and I must confess it probably won't be for a long time unless someone like Abbott takes the reigns.<br /><br />Sure, write in protest - but the environment, Health, gay rights, welfare and aged pensions are all up ahead of this and I'd like to think we would approach the lots of people over the lot of our idealsRobert N Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846982349433428044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-34499569836580422482010-07-19T12:48:12.541+10:002010-07-19T12:48:12.541+10:00As a rule Shatterface our Labor Party has been a l...As a rule Shatterface our Labor Party has been a little less inclined towards 'social conditioning'. There are some alarming signs though. Obviously this topic plus the way some 'health and wellbeing' programs are justified and presented. What has surprised me of late is the number of absolute godbots within the party.Ruperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141432408537488025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-59175214123338631422010-07-19T11:57:55.291+10:002010-07-19T11:57:55.291+10:00I hope Australia's Labour Party is a damn site...I hope Australia's Labour Party is a damn site more liberal than the Labour Party in the UK.Shatterfacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390120752123732543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-3675828678424077412010-07-18T16:54:17.245+10:002010-07-18T16:54:17.245+10:00Have you checked out the list of blocked websites ...Have you checked out the list of blocked websites on Wikilinks?Colinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-41490404129042338152010-07-18T16:14:10.890+10:002010-07-18T16:14:10.890+10:00Well said Russell and timely too.
I think in the ...Well said Russell and timely too.<br /><br />I think in the short time remaining the PM will likely to avoid progressive issues prone to populist abuse by Abbott. Ironically such lack of stance would make Labor a populist party too. After all what values do remain to make us believe that Labor is different? <br /><br />As you rightly put we all deserve to see a sign, just one sign that she would replace Rudd's bigoted and pigheaded policies with progressive ones on and around the issues you have mentioned. <br /><br />By the looks of it either she is no different than Rudd or she doesn't have the guts nor backing to make policy changes, or worst she is as populist as Abbott. <br /><br />Confronted with such uncertainties I am afraid my vote will have to stay evergreen.Ergun Coruhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599942073095772399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-43488138895659772432010-07-18T15:43:37.879+10:002010-07-18T15:43:37.879+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ergun Coruhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599942073095772399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-36245676635514716662010-07-18T11:31:17.539+10:002010-07-18T11:31:17.539+10:00make sure your atheist prime minister gets the msg...make sure your atheist prime minister gets the msg....DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389651479904502758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-9441990191706134422010-07-18T11:09:07.484+10:002010-07-18T11:09:07.484+10:00Dear Prime Minister,
