Hung Parliament: a new political paradigm

Monday, August 30th, 2010

The spectre of a hung parliament will cause the major political parties to re-evaluate their corporate reason for being in the very near future.  Currently both are hostage to sectional interests who know how to extract maximum political advantage for their minority constituents whether they be academic elites, the inner-city politburo or agrarian socialists.

Labor has all but abandoned its working class constituency in pursuit of the urban middle class vote.  Commentators and chatterers from the non-productive sector – academics, public servants, journalists, yuppies and doctors’ wives have emerged as the new force in the Labor Party. 

Elites from these sectors have a natural empathy with the rebadged communists within the Green movement – environmentalists, feminists, multiculturalists, socialists and other politically correct misfits from the extreme left. (more…)

Labor-Green Alliance: Vote now – Pay later!

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Labor’s recent proposal to kick Defence Force families out of their homes to make room for illegal immigrants is a disgraceful act of betrayal towards our servicemen and women. 

Whilst it took the heat of the election campaign to force the Gillard Government to take it off the agenda their Orwellian explanation has done little to allay the fears of our defence force personnel beyond August 21.

‘The Government has repeatedly acknowledged that as part of its routine and prudent contingency planning, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship has for some time been exploring additional temporary accommodfation options to house families and vulnerable asylum-seekers’, according to a report in the Australian on 28 July.

But what about the vulnerable families of our combat troops in Afghanistan left behind to fend for themselves while their husbands put their lives on the line on a daily basis in the war against terror?  (more…)
