1: Who cares?
I'm loathe to take the bait buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut; when it comes to Tony Abbott never changing his position, first he was in favour of an ETS under the Howard government, then he said he supported a carbon tax (and a consumption based tax at that, not an ETS like the Gillard government has) when the government was trying to pass an ETS and Dr Nelson was opposing it, then he said he supported an ETS under Malcolm Turnbull's leadership, then he said he opposed the ETS after he was offered the backing of the QLD and NSW dry liberals in the leadership ballot against Turnbull and now he tells us he believes in Direct Action. When it comes to Julia Gillard she has always had a clear position on Carbon Pricing since 2005, she opposes a consumption based tax and supports an Emmisions permits purchase scheme.
community volunteering has always been about bullshit propaganda
Should have supported Rudd.Talk in Canberra that Gillard could be ousted by the end of June now with supporters of hers in the February ballot now moved towards Rudd.
"Rudd should have been supported because he has a better chance of holding a Labor majority."Too right Labor members should have. Gillard is loathed in the community, half of Labors problem is her and half of it is their policies. Rudd has a better chance of saving marginal seats than Gillard and Labor need to retreat back to him to ensure survival.
If he gets the power he will do so. He will enforce his ideas on others because that's what governments do.The Libs have my vote.
Abbott well people may hate him because of his views on social issues, but it's not like he has the power to legislate against them lol. People's social views should not be an issue as long as they don't enforce them on others.
Socially they are by far superior to any major party. Economically they have understandably divided reception. I remember reading their policies and most of them are good. Some of them are great. Others are questionable. But I see them as superior to Labor or Liberal. I don't understand the hate.If anyone is considering voting for the Greens - have you gone on their website and read any of their policies? If the Greens ever win an election, I will revoke my Australian citizenship.
prime minister =/= entire governmentIf he gets the power he will do so. He will enforce his ideas on others because that's what governments do.
oh dear, you support a one world government?Socially they are by far superior to any major party.
You evidently struggle to understand a lot of things.I don't understand the hate.
3 letters for youIf he gets the power he will do so. He will enforce his ideas on others because that's what governments do.

I am aware of that. Doesn't mean he won't try (and succeed) to get his ideas legislated.prime minister =/= entire government
The problem with the party-representative democracy system is that if you announce you support a party (such as the Greens) then people will immediately assume you support every one of their policies. Which is not true, by the way - I don't blindly follow and support all policies, I merely said they were superior to the major parties - which is not really saying much. I was mostly talking about their pro-choice stance on social issues, their tolerance and acceptance of people who choose different ways to live their life. In some ways they are inferior, but overall they are better than the major parties, in my opinion.oh dear, you support a one world government?
