    Not the best choice of words I admit ;p I don't know who Seamus Lee is, although a Google search gives me this guy from Sydney uni: http://www.facebook.com/seamuslee is that who you are referring to? If so, no.

    Yes, I am a moderate. I also do not advocate greater expenditure on everything, there has to be boundary's. I am socially progressive on social issues and a moderate on issues of finance and economics. I am similar in views to you Lentern.

    ? Why? Azure, do you want to see this great nation of Australia flourish even if you are a FOB? If so, we can't let the Liberals ruin NSW furthur.

    It probably is a bit harsh if he had no criminal record or anything. I'd say he got 3 years because more because he refused to acknowledge the Judge and abide by court procedure etc than of his abusive actions.

    1. Even most Liberals will admit the sale of Telstra wasn't their most glorified moment and it hasn't worked that great. Telstra had (until only a few months back) a legalized market monopoly basically. 2. Yeah, Commonwealth Bank is profitable. Too bad the Australian people don't get those...

    Didn't realize it was from their site, just searched in Google News. However, after looking at their site, they seem pretty decent actually. I.e.

    When has the public benefited in Australia from something being privatized? CommonwealthBank? No Telstra? No Sydney Airport? No and the list goes on...

    At first I was sympathetic with reading that quoted text. However I then read the SMH article about it (http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/three-years-not-enough-for-racism-victim-20110131-1aavd.html) which doesn't spin it in a biased way and now agree with the 3 year sentence...

    I question the accuracy of your 3 billion dollar figure first off. However they are also cutting more than that from the budget, so there will be a net negative spend in the result. I'm no economist but I fai lto see how they can provide more services, more infrastructure and more jobs without...

    Yes. Transport across Sydney is pretty bad really compared to other global cities.

    I wasn't aware the Liberals had in some terms backed down on that, sorry about that. What you quoted is a bit selective though. I.e. if we look at other parts of the article: So not a sale, but a 'long term lease' - in the end we will end up paying a lot more for water as a result. if...
