This was probably the most unbiased pre-electoral flyer I saw in the lead up to 2013 election

It clearly lays out each party's stance on issues (obviously, the choice of issues is a source of bias).

the way they word issues and how each issues was a tick for the christian party obviously shows bias.

Yeah, and Cleavage did acknowledge that as "the choice of issues". Cleavage wasn't stating that this was unbiased, but merely the most unbiased flyer he had seen.

We in the Australian Labor Party are pro immigration and the growth of our population via immigration. We are pro refugees being up skilled into the workforce. The Liberal National Party under Tony Abbott are religion anti immigration. As Tony Abbott said "Jesus knew there was a place for everything and it isn't in every ones place to be in Australia."

Politics is not objective it is subjective. Every person has their biases and opinions. What I provide is no fear no favours.

Politics is objective when you present all the facts.

Both major political parties see the political landscape differently for example with regards to workplace relations. The Liberal National Party wanted to free up the labour market and have maximum flexibility via Work Choices Act 2005 (C'wlth). The Australian Labor Party campaigned against Work Choices claiming that it was unfair and unreasonable. The Labor party is the party of jobs and it goes to the core of its existence.

Politics involves telling a narrative and is subject to manipulation of facts and figures. For example Tony Abbott said that Whyalla would be wiped off the map because of the carbon tax which Julia Gillard introduced. This was a fraudulent misrepresentation on the part of Mr Abbott.

Politics is subject to analysis of facts and figures. What one party considers as analysis, the other party will consider as manipulation.

Also that had nothing to do with what I said. I said nothing about analysis of facts and figures by the parties. After presenting all the facts, politics is objective. It is only when you get to the analysis of those facts where bias comes into play.
