First week stupidly long Australian Federal election campaign

Couple of thoughts – well worth taking five minutes to tick through the ABC Vote Compass – at one point there is an opportunity to choose your numero uno Senate choice (and H.Reps too) – the list is quite full and includes ALA – which is a rare mention of ALA in the mainstream meedja.
My other thought after the first week was; if our GreenLeft compliant Prime Minister Turnbull really deep down was not unhappy to throw the election to Labor – would it look like this?

  1. Did it Warwick. The assessment is a bit biased. I regard myself not left socialist/ communist/dictatorship or right fascist/national socialist/communist/dictatorship. I am a libertrian, democrat who would like to see citizen initiated referenda & recall as in Switzerland (eg Oakshott, Windsor & Palmer should have been recalled). I also think taxation should be lower and there should be no advantage for anyone in the constitution; there should be free speech and no act of parliament concerning discrimination. No religion should be regarded as a charity -they should be pay rates, and be taxed on any profit they make and be subject to GST.

  2. Warwick:
    re Malcolm – don’t underestimate incompetence.
    It has been suggested that he wants to lose so Labor can introduce all those things the Coalition won’t let him bring in, then return to power saying it is too late to change them. He would have to be delusional if he thought the party would keep him if he loses this election.
