That'd be difficult to do objectively in a sentence or two. Bonus points for asking about the party and not the leader, though, you're clearly smarter than the majority of this forum community.

Abbott can attribute quite a bit of his support to him not being Malcom Turnbull.

Pretty sure it's been corrupted beyond repair.. Put it to rest?

Last I heard he spouted that Clintonian line: safe, legal and rare. Even though he doesn't condone such a large number of abortions; he couldn't possibly have it banned if he tried, it's basically a non-issue here.

Forget internet censorship; this girl is pushing the case for 14th trimester abortion legalisation.

Well a high abortion rate is a bad thing. Even pro-choice activists would agree that less unwanted pregnancies would be better than more abortion. Wanting less abortion does not mean wanting to ban abortion. There are ways to reduce abortions which include an attitude shift, education, etc.

Good point, I've never heard it phrased that way but I like it. Definitely more relevent to the left/right wings of a fairly centrist country like Australia.

Yeah, each of these are Abbott policies. Oh, wait, no. You've been fed crap by the media. Neither party plans to implement gay marriage and I have no idea where the idea that Abbott is a religious fundamentalist who hates women and wants to ban abortion came from. I mean, other than childish...

Sounds like a pretty worthless cause for a party to persue with such intensity.

This made me rofl for some reason. Nice work.

The only MPs who I've heard voice loud opposition against the censorship have been Liberal, and only a few of them. The only one coming to mind is Alex Hawke.

Your use of the word 'spiv' has rendered you unable to give any sort of word use advice. Sorry, you did have a point up until then!

So, could she have been thrown any more softball questions? I'm sensing an incoming Australian election coverage similar to the American media's Barack Obama lovefest during his 2007/8 campaign.

Macquarie, correct me if I'm wrong with it being the most marginal in NSW.

Oh, I see. Well, the Nazis invented the Volkswagen, this doesn't many anybody who drives one wants to kill Jews.

I didn't know they had claim to the watermelon term? Meh, I like it. (Fred Nile's son was my PE teacher in year 8... he was creepy.)

Well if you're not trolling, you're the poster child of the watermelon thinking stereotype of city Greens. Everybody outside a major city is inferior in knowledge and worth to the arts degree-holding, Marxist-reading latte socialist Greens voters.

After a redistribution, my seat went from safe Liberal to the most marginal (I think) in NSW. Should be an interesting election, considering I don't go insane by hearing 'Moving Australia Foward' or 'Real Action' too many times. I hate vacuous slogans.

wut.

Those better-behaved Muslims need to voice their moderation much louder, so they're not represented by the crazies of their religion. However, that article just brought to mind this quote: "The 'offense to Islam' ruse is just an excuse for Muslims to revert back to their default mode: rioting...
