No you read it wrong. What I said was (and sorry I can't find the link now, it was something I read last night online) that most voters when picking up the HTV card from either main parties (ALP, Libs - I didn't say Greens were a major party as if) that 85% of those voters will copy out the 1,2,3,4 etc preferences as advised by the main party they are voting for. So when voting for instance for ALP, they have an agreement with Greens so that they are listed as an ALP preference number 2\. And the Greens will do that for ALP as their number 2\. So when the Greens don't win (and they won't) we know that anyone who filled out the preferences as advised by the Greens would be putting ALP as preference 2, helping Labor get more seats against their competitors. Hope that makes sense, I am not too great at getting my point out in text.
Anyway here is a link that might help people understand the Greens deal with ALP.

:laughing: What a load of tripe.
The Labor party have been in rule for less than three years, and all the cronies want to attribute the relative stability of Australia during the 'GFC' to an extremely successful Labor government. Let us not forget that the Liberals ran this country for just shy of twelve years up until late 2007.

My vote daniel fitzhenry just to keep him out of the wests tigers team on sundays.
Did anyone catch Gillard getting her backside handed to her this morning by Alan Jones?
She is a deadset liar…unmitigated liar! I mean how can you trust her? She comes from VERY shady beginnings and leopards dont change their spots. She also has a big "tell". Whenever she is caught out or doesnt have a truthful answer for a question she does this extremely condescending fake laugh.

Here is a spreadsheet with a list of policies and whether parties are opposed or in support of them.
http://spreadsheets0.google.com/ccc?key=tLBnCYZYTiTlDoreuUMxT7A&hl=en#gid=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
How anyone can justify voting for either party baffles me. If everyone actually stopped buying the propaganda and voted for a third party then the two party power trip would finally end.
Liberals:
Oppose almost everything about Lesbian and Gay Rights including Same Sex Parenting, Anti-Discrimination, Same Sex Marriage and State Based Relationship Register
Support the withdrawal of UN Treaties on immigration and refugees
Oppose harm minimisation strategies as a way to combat narcotic dependency
Oppose carbon pricing
Oppose the NATIONAL BROADBAND NETWORK
Oppose the structural separation of Telstra
They will have us destroy this planet and offer assistance to nobody. They don't seem to represent the Australian cultural image.
Labor:
Oppose increasing spending on mental illness… something that is responsible for almost every homeless case
Oppose, though slightly lesser, lesbian and gay rights related policies
Support the mandatory internet filter! WTF!?
Oppose the national classification system that would allow adult classified video games to finally be available in this country
Oppose corporate taxation increases, though counter that with their mining company tax (something I actually support)
Support tax exempt status for religions (apparently the religious zealot Tony Abbott does not have an opinion either way)
Of course I am highlighting what I say as the negative points in their cases. Click the link to see the positives. In my opinion though, the Greens policies are a far cry from as negative as either of these parties. And as a result I will be voting for them as 1 and for ASP as 2, with no other preferences listed on my card.

Or when she has no answer altogether, she comes out with "Hold on a second, let me explooooin" before repeating the question that was asked of her and then proceeding to trot out with a very underdone and almost useless answer.
at least the labor party put money into the schools which was needed even if it wasnt well policed
What the hell does a school need with _**two**_ libraries?

One thing i do know for certain.
Anyone who votes Labor has never been on both sides of the fence. And judging by the comments on here with people who are carrying on like political experts, it is transparent…
