Vote Early, Vote Often

Sorry its been a while. Just life sometimes gets in the way of life.

So tomorrow we go to the polls and elect ourselves a Government, a Federal Government. There is not alot of talk about layers of Government, but we don't have an especially large population and therefore do not really need three tiers of Government. Alas our Colonial past has left us with just that. I barely know our present local Member, his name is Pat Farmer. I think he was some sort of Marathon runner in a previous life, and I think his wife passed away. I know he is Liberal (i.e. an incumbent) and that he is a good guy.

The Labour Party has promised to add to Tigers/Wests football stadium. Like this is a great social benefit to me and mine. This will prevent little babies from being murdered by their parents. Ah, yes, a bigger and better football stadium. Where ya gonna park? I mean ffs.

Something that demeaning has got to reflect something about the Party. All they will really do is put the Unions into a better position in the workplace; they will demand better human rights in China before they can have any more of our resources, which China can probably source cheaper from probably Africa, ffs. They will recall the troups from Afghanistan and Iraq - like that is socially responsible as well. No, if they get in Australia will go to Hell in a handbasket.

Plus they are in the Greens' pockets.

Now my understanding of the Greens is that their ultimate goal is to reduce the population of the earth to one billion people. What I really want to know is how they propose to do that? What are you going to do with the 5+ other billions? They also have a goal of fewer domestic animals. There is some animal rights/liberationist thinking with that one (is that woolly thinking at all?). What will happen to all the other animals? Will they be encouraged to become extinct? Companion animals have been proven to be of health benefit to humans but you will not be able to keep companion animals. Keeping animals is a form of slavery, don't you know?

Who are these fools, where did they come from? Why don't they go back there? FFS.

Okay, the Liberals are a bit over liberal with their freeing up of the economy and shitting on workers, and they do say that if you don't like your present job, there are enough vacancies you can get a better job. Is that right? The daughter has loads of TAFE qualifications but she can't get a job. Maybe if she went to the city she might, but while she has been promised child care for after school, it has not been forthcoming. Why the hypocrisy?

Who do you vote for? For my money, I am looking at the Independents. None of the above have done particularly well by my books and their promises sound more like whistling in the wind.
