Think of the children! Oh, won't somebody please think of the children!

I think family first would be more interested in your views on grandparent carers payment

At the 17 second mark, an ornithopter flys across the sky! What's with that? Along with the bizarre camera angle and nauseating camera motion, I was totally distracted from the message. Tell your camera people this is NOT an MTV clip. save your creativity for other less critical pursuits. Furthermore, hands in pockets is very rude. God bless the athiests!

Keep up the great work guys.

You are the only true voice for mums ,dads and kids in this country.

By the way Your $10000 bumper baby bonus for families with lots of kids is a great idea,and shows how forward thinking your party is.

As for Labor they have become anything but a "labor" party recently and the fact unemployment reached 11% last time they were in power is proof of this.They are still stuck 20 years behind the rest of Australia

And the Libs,well only under pressure from Family First did they amend the workchoices bill.

Our family will definately be giving you our votes!

Yeah, sorry mate, you have no idea. State elections in South Australia and Queensland since 2004 Federal election don't support your view. In fact, when FFP preferences Labor, the "bleed" to Labor is often stronger than coalition.

In any case, you might want to chat to the Greens that have voted with Libs in Victoria more than ALP since the 2007 state election and now are into negotiations about a preference deal... "Left" credibility in tatters, I would have thought!

Mickovich - yes so "left" that they nearly always preference the Liberals before the ALP.

Actually I don't think it was a disaster. There is no real reason why you should expect voters to choose Family First in the absence of Libs. If anything, their voting is more in line with the ALP, which, of course was very strong in this by-election.

The presence of several conservative independents showing around 5% and the higher than normal informal count of 7% shows where your votes went. There aren't any commentators left (including the PM himself) that think that FFP is any further right than the ALP, so no real surprises here, I'd say.

Out of respect for You Tube & Google and the great job they are doing hosting this for everyone, lets keep it on topic.

What happened to my post from earlier today?

Is no criticism allowed of your party?

Typical of right wingers, censorship has always been your weapon, and cowardice your mark.

Private schools are for those who want their children to have an elitist education. I object strongly to my taxes being used for this purpose. Is this what family first stands for? Elitism?
