With the election coming up soon I am curious to know who you are voting for, I really dont like the idea that John Howard is probably going to get back in based on what I believe to be his manipulation of peoples fears and insecurities over the current world events and the whole illegal immigrants debate. Whenever I think of him I am always reminded of his misgivings- the introduction of the GST, reckless environmental policies or lack of and being a student when he first got in I can never forgive what he did in regards to HECS and our higher edication institutions. Now I dont see the Labor party really as anything better, but I do believe that if you would like to do something active and beneficial for our country then vote for the Greens in the senate and I thoroughly reccomend reading Senator Bob Brown's press speach on the Greens website, whilst being an environmentaly aware party they also have policies that are extrememly well planned and relate to all aspects of Australian life, as it stands after this election there will either be a majority of either Greens or One Nations holding the blance of power in the Senate and quite frankly I know who I would rather have holding that power, as Bob Brown said, there really isnt any need anymore for Pauline Hanson and One Nation as both the Liberal and Labor parties have taken over her platform and agendas so adequately of late, anyway let me know what you all think
