I've been umming and ahhing over getting citizenship over the last decase or so but with the kind of leadership it would give me the privilege of voting for, procrastination was and is the best choice for now - there is no lesser of two evils. Sad

But in saying that, becoming an Australian citizen should be about accepting your new country, the voting side of things is irrelevant, just an excuse imho!

Do like the rest of us do, if you don't like either party, just vote for Fred Flinstone or Chalice Smiley

Could be a good thing that QLD is Liberal now. Since the Libs got in in NSW it's been sounding good. It's pretty much like the two main parties have swapped stances, the Liberals down here seem to be investing money wisely in infrastructure, and trying to improve efficiency. It's what I'd always been told was what Labour is meant to do, while the Liberals just sell everything to make enough money for tax cuts to the rich.

In conclusion, it would appear that being in Opposition for so long has led the Liberal Party, in state politics at least, to actually look into what the people want, and then actually do what the people want.

I think Zoo you are assuming people are voting for the party they like not voting against the party they don't like.
Labor lost its roots when keating decided it need to be more business friendly.
Labor spent the last 15 odd years not investing in infrastructure in NSW. Libs are talking the talk but have yet to really start walking.
Decades of both parties pandering to anybody they think will buy them votes with no regard for other levels of government or interaction with existing legislation has resulted in a big Fucking mess that nobody can work with.
Big infrastructure projects are good for big business and the rich, and for the poor guy pooring cement.
When the gov crows about generating job via a short term project or oportunity you know we are in trouble.
When the prime minister tells a press conference, "we need a skilled and educated work force, a flexible work force, the days of a job for life are gone, you might have to move interstate or change industries" you know we are really in trouble especially from a labor one.
 How can you be skilled at a job if you have to keep changing, how much time should be spent re-educating for a new industry who will fund it
Why be dedicated to a short term job
How much does it cost to move.
How will the digital economy really pan out when you read the governments white paper and the 3 companies listed employ about 50 people and have the entire market cornered (google earth and some security company the banks use) no example shows how it will help the little concers it says it will help or gives an example of a resurant that made good of the internet.
I do believe that if the Gov has its way cow will be replaced by the internet along with most salesmen (and good ridance to annoying mofos)
