That way, the ALP will still get your (lower house) vote, but strained through the Greens.David Irving (no relation)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05728918405973140125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-37365748374158206242012-04-17T21:15:53.893+10:002012-04-17T21:15:53.893+10:00I think some are paid but there is a reactionary f...I think some are paid but there is a reactionary fringe out there who truly believe this guff (I know some of them and their beliefs are genuine even though they are offensive and/or nuts most of the time).Big Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-10144860127494631282012-04-17T21:01:22.111+10:002012-04-17T21:01:22.111+10:00I agree, they wouldn't have.

But then they're the ones who are paying for it with the torrents of foul abuse on the comment pages of every main stream media outlet in the land, so I'm starting to feel sorry for them. <br /><br />I suspect a fair bit of that is people paid to comment - I figure a Gina Rhinehart or Clive Palmer could easily subcontract an Indian company to have coverage of the whole Australian news media...<br /><br />http://www.xkcd.com/1019/.
