It has been hard to overcome the indebtedness of the household sector, true. But what is happening now is the process is being accelerated.

More and more “For lease” signs are popping up everyfuckingwhere!
Hokey is plonkingly incompetent but there really isn’t anyone to replace him! China is now levying a tariff on our coal exports!
Try very hard to locate that bit of grey matter that must be in that cement skull of yours!
Our PM's - Labor or Liberal over the last 30 years, have shown no patriotism for Australia. Our beautiful country is continuously being flogged off to the lowest bidder. Most countries want what we have, yet we're giving away our resources and letting other nations rip us off. Look at China now demanding a tariff while Abbott brags about signing an FTA with them - possibly in their favour. We did the same with the US and have had a trade deficit with them in the billions for years. It will be a whole lot worse if we sign up to an FTA with China. We'll end up paying them to take our coal and adding the loss to our deficit.

Emerson and Co (ALP) have supported FTAs since Hanson was in Parliament. Since people keep voting for the major parties what would you suggest is a rational solution?

I've got no idea aside from throwing more support behind the minor parties and independents. Not that it will make much difference, because all preferences end up going in the direction of either one of the major parties.

Greens are just Liberals, PUP is ridiculous.
BIG difference between FTAs agreed by Lib and by Labor. Look at the latest one signed by Robb—killed the car industry stone dead. Lib happy to sign the TPP, Labor had reservations and was negotiating away some of the worst clauses.

Labor hasn't pushed for FTA's as aggressively as the Coalition, but they've gone along with the Coalition and supported them when in opposition.
The Greens of course are fairly conservative, but that doesn't mean they're Liberals. There's a huge difference - the Greens care about the environment and humanity - the Liberals don't. The Greens are having leadership problems at the moment. Christine Milne is making the same mistakes Meg Lees did. Hopefully she'll step down soon and pass the leadership onto someone stronger.

As for the rest.... what do you do sit all day in your bog and meditate up some deluded politically biased crap to post?

No mantra, the Greens are conservatives just like the Libs.
