Sarah Hanson Young supports homosexuals she is a campaigner as well .John Howard supported the Apartheid regime if we're playing who supported the biggest bunch of campaigners.
If you are genuinely poor don't have kids until you can afford them. Not that hard to be responsible is it?
Sorry I know this thread is about Gough but above is absolute rubbish
Thatcher not only supported Pinochet she did everything she possibly could to help him evade answering for his crimes. Forget the coup which overthrew the democratic government of Allende and the mass torture, rape and murder of Chileans - what did she have to say Thank you for bringing democracy to Chile
The contrast to the person who followed is stark. He will be remembered only for a) sec 45d, b) ending death duties and c) cosying up to Mugabe.
A Gillardesque failure who unlike Gough is a mere footnote to Australian history.
I'm afraid that's impossible. Who would would enforce that?Well then you don't understand if that's what you think. Nothing to do with people all getting along at all. It's about letting people live their lives as they choose without interference from other individuals and Governments so long as they do it without affecting other people.
We're not naive at all. We know there's no hope at all of the vast majority people taking complete responsibility for their own lives.
But hey, if the socialists can dream of their perfect world that will never happen then so can we.
You seemed rather confused. Seems your relating what you think is the Libertarian views to those of the present Tea Party which was hijacked by certain people who are not Libertarians.
The Libertarian movement rejects the likes of the Tea Party.
There is only one choice. Live life how you wish and do it and in a manner which does not affect others
Yes, Greg Sheridan. lolGreg Sheridan:
...sentimentality, and the overwhelming power of the Labor myth-making machine, should not blind us to the central fact of Whitlam: he was the worst prime minister in our history…
His foreign policy record was appalling, although it is here that the myth-makers have worked hardest because his economic record was even worse.
Whitlam acted with conspicuous cruelty towards the Vietnamese who had worked with Australian forces and Australian diplomats during the war between South Vietnam and North Vietnam.
His foreign minister, Don Willessee, wanted him to bring some of these people to Australia at the fall of Saigon in April 1975. Whitlam told him: “I’m not having these f..king Vietnamese Balts coming into the country with their religious and political prejudices against us."…
More important than what Whitlam said was what he did. Australian transport planes left Saigon with rows of empty seats while those who had helped us there were left to their fate in the vast gulag of re-education camps the communists set up after their victory.
Or they were left to a worse fate.
Whitlam’s myth-makers are so impervious to the facts that they often claim his visit to China as opposition leader was a breakthrough in opening China to the west. In fact for most of the preceding years numerous Western nations in Europe had full diplomatic relations with mainland China.
...the US took some years after de facto recognition to achieve formal recognition. This is because the Americans were tough negotiators and ... would not recognise Beijing in a way that gave it licence to conquer Taiwan, which is de facto independent but which Beijing considers a renegade province.
Harvard scholar Ross Terrill argues that Whitlam badly botched the negotiations with Beijing because he was desperate to afford recognition straight away. As a result he agreed to conditions that were punitive of Australian interests in Taiwan and effectively sold out the interests of Taiwanese people altogether.
Most of Whitlam’s foreign policy decisions were wrong in principle and turned out badly in practice. Entirely gratuitously, he extended formal diplomatic recognition of Soviet sovereignty over the Baltic states…
The two most disgraceful episodes of Whitlam’s leadership concerned the Middle East. Most people remember the loans affair, but an even greater disgrace concerned Whitlam’s efforts to raise election funds for the ALP in 1975 from the Iraqi government.
Are you defending Pinochet? I'd certainly hope you aren't.Pinochet killed less people and what Allende was planning to do. Allende had a hitlist of 15,000 that his Cuban born militia would round up and put against the wall. Allende was one day away from releasing his death squads when Pinochet with the following orders from the Parliament staged his coup.
I'm afraid that's impossible. Who would would enforce that?
Anyway, you've admitted that it's a fantasy. Good, that's the first step...

I'm not into socialist policies. Pay as you go.
Blood on your hands Gus...would be the worst policy outcome anyon e would want given the numbers of people screwed over.
Did the article mention anything about the good things he did or did you just selectively, pick out the parts that suited you?

And yet Gough ruled with a heavier hand than any Australian prime minister before or since.
Some people just enjoy being ruled I guess.
Personally I just wish politicians would **** off and leave me alone.
