I think the condition of politics in Australia is pretty sad. Register Libertarian. Do what you can to bring free-markets and small governments to your country.
Dinosaurs, Meg Lees sold out to the Fiberals and they are now both history, Aussies won't tolerate 2 faced drongos, Lees should have indicated she was a Fiberal all along, good riddance to the low lifes. Note: The GST is good for the country, I was sick of paying 22% wholesale tax every month for years, the retailers who took cash paid zilch, that was bullshite.
LOL "LetumAngelus", Australia's third biggest party aye...man I used to think that state Liberals were the most pathetic political life form, I guess I was wrong. As much as I hate the greens and the coalition, it's quite clear that the democrats take that particular honour. Third biggest party with no seats in the upper or lower house *clap clap* going well guys, keep up the good work LOL. Tossers.
consumption tax proposed by Keating? - dont remember that.
A GST is a tax on the poor - luxury cars and TV's got cheaper while we pay extra on utility bills, text books, and any service you might wish to engage in (trades men, machanics and the guy who mows your granma's lawn)
Australian are amongst the most heavily taxed in the OECD nations - its no great tribute to the Howard Gov for any improvement in public facilities - they could of done much more.
I understand it is up to the membership to decide that. One Nation still keeps on running in elections and has done so without Parliamentry support for a while now. (Did I just compare Democrats to One Nation... doh!). When the Greens stuff up or the Unions don't need them any more to prop up Labors vote, I reckon the Democrats will be there to pick up the peices.
Pity with what's happened to the Australian Democrats. That's what happens when a minor party fights with itself.

The democrats represtented a Social Justice party for me - the GST was never an inevitability and it remains a great betrayal of all i believed in.
Based on election results - i am not the only one. RIP Democrats.
