Giulia Gillard for me! but I am going to vote green in the senate

God spare us from some of the youth voters who when asked how they will vote said " Greens because the air will be better"



Honestly if you had a pet as dumb as this wouldnt you put it down?

Good grief rainband, and you cant even spell her name AND voting Greens shows how little you even know about their dopey policies.

It seems a strange coincidence to me that our administrators have come out at the "11th hour" to endorse labour and encourage us to vote that way. At the same time there is a handful of brand new members adding their 2 cents worth.

I suspect that at least some of these "new members" will only be around until the election.....

Exactly what I was thinking kfchugo.



Lets call them for what they really are -- 'Political plants'.

Oh Tanwin do you really think that Labor and Greens would have political plants on this web site? are you going to vote for Bob Brown and his dirty stinking way of living?



jessej

jessiej, you have mentioned a couple of times Bob Browns "dirty stinking way of living". I assume you think he is gay and indulges in male/male sex (this may indeed be the case - I really dont know). We have laws in this country that prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, religion or sexual orientation etc. I wont be voting for Bob or his party, but that is a "policy" decision and nothing to do with how the guy lives his life.

If a politician came out with great and forward thinking policies that were fair, sustainable and good for the country, would you refuse to vote for them because they might be gay?

No kfc, jessie votes for a party where the leader's nose is the deciding factor.

if I thought a candidate was I would not vote for them

Hi All,



I can assure you that we have never made any "dummy accounts" on this forum. Our website has no political connections or agenda. We simply gave our points of view from all different age brackets/family brackets to give our readers the views from different segments of Australia.



I actually sat down last night and had a hard look over each parties policy agenda and discussed a few issues with my father. He happens to produce a cabling magazine and identified the NBN as another potential promise of the Labor government that will fail at the last minute. Spending $5000 per person in Australia to install such a system before you even have it installed in the persons home is not a great return on investment. Further to that, he said the industry people he had talked to, had raised MANY issues regarding the installation inside the home, citing instances where homes will not be able to get the NBN, in cities because of electrical and cabling layout.



My vote is now going to the Liberals, i am decided and tomorrow i will vote Tony Abbott and the Liberal party as my Preferred party.

Interesting to read what your father said. I don't pretend to understand anything technical..lol.

But just in the last few days have seen some articles which talk about advances in wireless technology, which all seem to agree can produce same speeds or better than FTTN, and cheaper.

One fascinating article was in the New York Times online, and one needs to be a subscriber.

I was fortunate enough to read a transcript someone had cut and pasted.

But [url=http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/08/16/wimax.2.finalizing.soon.with.100mbps.speeds/#ixzz0wzgwGcBk]this[/url] is another if you care to read it.

The above link hopefully will work for the article to which I referred.

Otherwise here are some extracts.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>....

Satellite companies have been the also-rans of Internet providers.

But two companies, WildBlue and HughesNet, are now in a race to change all that. Both plan to launch satellites in the next couple of years that will dwarf their predecessors in space.



WildBlue’s alone will have 10 times the capacity of its three current satellites combined. Such behemoths, the companies say, will enable them, at prices similar to what they now charge, to provide Internet service at speeds many times faster than they now offer — as fast, in some cases, as fiber connections. Further, the companies argue, satellites can provide service more [b]easily and cheaply per subscriber than their earthbound cable and phone company competitors[/b], particularly to the 14 million to 24 million Americans who live in areas without broadband service.My bold.

“One advantage satellite has is ubiquity,” Arunas G. Slekys, vice president for Hughes Network Systems, said. “The cost of reaching you with a satellite dish is independent of where you are. Fiber or cable is labor-intensive and dependent on distance.”

Hi All,

Where is jessej and her ranting about this being a 'Liberal' plant?



any other view that differs from her warped opinions and expressions

is a 'Labor plant"

God spare us from some of the youth voters who when asked how they will vote said " Greens because the air will be better"

I'm voting for Tony tomorrow too. My blood pressure has suffered severely this year with all the boats arriving. John Howard stopped them before and I think Tony can do it again. Gillard shows she's not really serious about refugees coming in the back door and her intended plans for East Timor are lacking credibility. She thinks that processing refugees in their country is the ideal location when there is a perfect solution already in Nauru. East Timor think it's a bad idea and don't want a bar of it.



I agree with those who say there is little vision offered by either side. I would like to see all the water from the wet season up north somehow saved and utilized for the whole country's benefit but it's probably too big a project for either party to tackle. No guts.



Please, not a hung parliament, let it be a landslide one way or the other.
