Corruption must be fought Victorias ALP leaders staff have warned that Daniel Andrews is too close to developers. He is also too close to the CFMEU. Voters should not have the choice of voting for the avowedly corrupt. ALP in Victoria is unreformed. It is the same party as which campaigned on not knocking down houses for a free way, but which knocked down houses for a free way with a set of lights, calling it a motor way instead. It is the same party which tries to profit from domestic crime. The same party which drowns desperate asylum seekers because it is more compassionate than allowing in genuine refugees. The same party which built an expensive desalination plant, but not a dam. The same party which burnt much of the country by refusing back burning. ABC fighting reason Economic issues regarding growth world wide are challenging. Socialist governments in the US, France, Italy and China threaten world prosperity through poor economic policy. The free trade agreement with China is great, but the planned nature of the Chinese economy is restrictive. Italys socialist government has taken on the compassionate drowning that marked the ALPs migration policy. France is struggling since her war on rich people. US is only beginning to awaken from a Democrat led torpor. In Australia, the ABC begs for politicians to slam on the breaks and limit growth by taxing the air people breathe and the food plants need to grow. Worse, the ABC recently admitted it lied to Australia in a comedy skit aired during a current affairs program. It claimed Mr Abbott had not talked with Mr Putin on the serious issue of MH17 when it knew he had, effectively. The small cuts to the SBS and ABC seems to be offset by Mr Turnbull allowing them to advertise in prime time, sucking dollars away from commercial networks. They are far larger than any of the commercial networks by regulation preventing cross media ownership. Who let the dogs out? Some Palmer United Party PUPs are still loyal to a fault. Palmer outrageously arranged for an inquiry into the Queensland Newman government as a fishing expedition ahead of an election. Newmans government has done nothing wrong. However the review has backfired and now questions are to be asked of Palmer, if PUP Lazarus ever stops blocking the questions. Meanwhile Lambie is acting as an independent under the PUP name, as legal advice is taken as to PUP being able to vacate her position and employ someone else. Meanwhile Dio Wang, a WA PUP, remains loyal to Palmer by commenting sensibly on Queen Lambie. Random stuff Sixteen years is the length of a pause in global warming, but a recent decline of two years is being hidden by activists at the G20. One ALP member, Joe Bullock, is opposing the party line in opposing a republic for Australia. Only one member. The ALP as a modern democratic party is dead. Putin explains the four defence ships off the Australian coastline are testing their range in case they do AGW research in Antarctica. Lol.

I wont explicitly state it, but it has to do with accusations and leadership. Were Rudd to stay, it might be interpreted that he caused the allegation to come into being. Even if Rudd hasnt, he cant prove it because of past behaviour. He would be treated worse than Mal Colston. Rudds agenda is driven by fear. It may be irrational fear, but still paralysing. Mundine used to be an atheist, but he found Islam. Now mysteriously, his place has been firebombed. No one knows why. No one even guesses a reason. A bit like Rudd leaving the parliament. However, there is an excuse, given by an Australian, Uthman Badar, who says ASIO is at fault for investigating .. Presbyterians (?). ABC is primed and ready to blame Mr Abbott, and Mr Turnbull should he succeed him before Christmas. ALP believe in foreign aid. It is important and many people are reliant on it for their livelihoods .. like ALP campaign workers. Latham isnt sure. But he thinks it is a bad thing if Rudd did it. Sixty five of three hundred pedophiles recently arrested are Australian. Some in professions entrusted with the care of children. No word yet as to how many were in the ALP. On that issue alone, journalists are begging not to be told. === This column welcomes feedback and criticism. The column is not made up but based on the days events and articles which are then placed in the feed. So they may not have an apparent cohesion they would have had were they made up. === For twenty two years I have been responsibly addressing an issue, and I cannot carry on. I am petitioning the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to remedy my distress. I leave it up to him if he chooses to address the issue. Regardless of your opinion of conservative government, the issue is pressing. Please sign my petition at https://change.org/en-AU/petitions/tony-abbott-remedy-the-persecution-of-dd-ball Or the US President at https://change.org/p/barack-obama-change-this-injustice# or https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/change-injustice-faced-david-daniel-ball-after-he-reported-bungled-pedophile-investigation-and/b8mxPWtJ or wh.gov/ilXYR Douglas Sutherland-Bruce via David Daniel Ball Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what its like until theyve been there. Keep heart David take care. I have begun a bulletin board (theconservativevoice.freeforums.net) which will allow greater latitude for members to post and interact. It is not subject to FB policy and so greater range is allowed in posts. Also there are private members rooms in which nothing is censored, except abuse. All welcome, registration is free.
