[I Dont Care]

I vote for whichever major party the greens don't like.

My feelings exactly. I voted Labor all my voting life, even though my parents are Liberal voters. Never again, the Carbon Tax was the last straw for me

 

[manureid]

I voted One Direction..no wait....

 

[Noobz0r]

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I was brought up in a Labor family that handed out how to vote cards etc, but i've always voted Greens because they are the only party on the voting slip that are left of centre anymore.

Christine Milne is a campaigner.

Yeah but if that's the metric i'd never be able to vote for anybody. She's the campaigner with the least alarming policies out of the parties that I can choose to vote for

To move against Labor for their most 'Labor' policy in 20 years is strange.

I am a swing voter for this very reason. There are no true leftist options so I vote on a balance of probabilities for specific policy.

"Least alarming"?

Well they aren't trying to one up eachother with regards to who can treat asylum seekers the most cruelly like the major parties.

It depends on your view of what is Labor. I saw it as my grandfather did, the party for the working man, whilst Liberal was for the capitalists. I had a 'Green' side to me as a young man, I first came up here to FNQ to visit the rainforests, before they disappeared in the mid 80's. I saw first hand the lies and use of media persuasion the Greens used, I saw the relationship between the Greens and Labor blossom...but just shrugged as I had picked Labor when I first voted and like a sport team or religion, just kept following them until the early 2000's when I started voting independent. The Carbon Tax was when I vowed never again...I stopped voting Labor before that.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I don't agree with everything the Greens do, but I like a political party to get basic human rights knocked on the head first before I worry about their other policies.

Here's a link to that ghastly song Mick - I understand that you are somewhat "technology challenged" and hence need help with things like this - lol - so here you go - didn't you bop around to this song at the discos in the 1970s?

So the downbeat electronic music is still going, but the terrible line noise makes it interesting.
