I don't think this had anything to do with the ALP at all. Just some morons at the ABS who wouldn't know a focus group if it jumped up and bit them in the arse.

You really don't want to go down the track of which party treats ppl like they're stupid- because Abbott would win that little pissing match before he got his zipper down.

I had the census sheeple turn up and demand i fill in the census or BE FINED i responded with "Hahahahaha" then went and got my special tool for this type of job, a BIG red rubber stamp with the words

No contract

I do not recognise you.

I do not understand your intent.

It is not my will or wish to contract.

I do not have an international treaty with you.

No assured value no liability.

Anyone who spends so much time thinking like this, talking liek this - go and 'save' a whale or sumping.

ok I'll comment, Australian politicians (specifically Julia Gillard) address the general population as if they are a bunch of kindergarteners. This video is proof that the Australian government considers the public IQ is that of a 3 year old. Good job on insulting the nation.
