My Political 2 cents

HEYYY HEYYY!

E-petition:
I was looking on the Australian Wilderness societies page and came upon a petition that I believe is worthwhile. I signed it and you should too. It's a protest against the logging in the Victorian Forrests.

Tell the state government to get VicForests out of our water catchments- The Wilderness Society

You want me to respond to a professional blogger at a major news site.. Ok. This is the blog im responding to..

I am replying to the post called "Worst thing since Sliced Bread?":
You ask can we be forgiven for unleashing something like Neighbours or Home and Away on to the world. Well.. no, actually we can't be forgiven because there is nothing to be forgiven for! Home and Away is one of my favourite shows and i BET you've never watched full episodes for a week and latched on to the story line. Nope. Didn't think so!

You then go on to pay out a guy about his hair.. I'd like to see what you look like. I doubt you're the perfect guy because if you were then I don't think you'd be hiding behind a computer screen all day. Sorry if that's rude but maybe you should consider how rude you were.


What is Barack Obama up to today you ask?
Well I thought that not only would you like to see what he's up to today... but you can see what he's up to all the time! His twitter updates are posted here. Subscribe to the RSS updates too!!! They RSS updates are now on this blog down the right hand side so you can keep upto date with both Obama and I. Lucky you :)


My representatives:
Local - I live in Mudgeeraba therefore my local representative is Ros Bates Liberal Party
State - Anna Bligh is the Queesnland represtative also from the Liberal Party
Federal - Our Federal Leader is Kevin Rudd otherwise known as K-Rudd or 'krudd'

K-Rudd's adventures (purely for amusement)




Ros Bates' last Parliament speech was on the 8th October 2009 in the Adjournment Debate.
Message to her - I don't think you've done anything wrong and I definately do not believe that you intended to deliberately mislead the audience. You are definately fit for the position.


Clean Feed? No thanks, I don't care for cleanliness.
The Government's plans to censor the internet.

First of all it is a waste of money. Australia has had enough money problems lately, and doing this is just spending another $44 million.

Australians have demonstrated that they do not want it - why make things complicated when they don't need to be and everyone is happy as it is?

It's going to slow the internet access down by approx 30% which will undoubtedly cause an uproar among the public.

These are only a few reason of why I think it is the most stupid idea possible. Go spend $44 million on something worthwhile.


What place does censorship have in democracy?
I think that censorship is impossible when it comes to democracy. If you censor the internet people will find another way to get what they want out there. They've already had a taste of what could be, if you take it away from them, they will find a way to get it back. Just like people still get hold of illicit drugs.
