Rudd or Howard?

I'm trying to decide which party to list LAST in my preferences in the next Federal election. -Based on how supportive these two men are of multiculturalism.

By now, every non-delusional Australian is well aware of the dangers of multiculturalism and the trouble it can bring to our society.

I'm going to vote for the man who's LEAST supportive of multiculturalism.

Howard has shown much opposition to multiculturalism in the past (Encouraging integration etc), but at the same time has been extremely contradictory, baselessly stating continuously that multiculturalism is 'beneificial' to our society.

Rudd on the other hand I'm admittedly unfamiliar with. Hopefully, he'll oppose multiculturalism, but signs aren't looking to good as the ALP are notorious for a pro-multiculturalism stance.

So, are one of these men less supportive of multiculturalism than the other? That is, of course, if they aren't both equally supportive of multiculturalism.

Yeah, why go to athens when you can go to melbourne!
Why go to beruit, when you can go to sydney's south west!
Why go to ho chi minh city,when you can go to cabramatta!
Why go to tokyo,when you can go to cairns!
Why go to mogadishu when you can go to western sydney!

hmm, i would'nt mind visiting Australia. Where is that?

Thank you Labour for saving my air fares and destroying my country!

Me, for preference, id have to put liberal. i know all too well what labour is capable of.

Of course he would, A leb would want the best for his people.
Its an unusual name for a leb, its not  mohammedan ,or khamelspit, or donkhifucher...
But he sure does look like one!

Multiculturism is no different from communism.

Look DT & Aussie Nationalist - voting for Howard would be a big mistake.  Bracks and Iemma are no doubt 2nd or 3rd generation Australians, so it doesn't matter what their background is - at the moment they are the best on offer.

The best alternative to Rudd and Howard would be the Greens, or at least give them No 2 or 3 on your ballot paper.

Bob Brown is a consistently fair and reasonable man and the Greens deserve some power in the Senate.  Through all the controversy over the years, Senator Brown has stood up for the rights of humans and animals and more importantly - for our survival, the environment.

He has been abused and ridiculed and this is because the two major parties have seen the Greens as a threat.  If we want a future for our children, where our country isn't ravaged and abused through unsustainable mining created by foreign investors and corrupt politicians, the Greens are the way to go.

At the moment their policies are under revision, so even though they may support refugees on a humanitarian basis, I believe their new policies may limit general immigration.

The Greens are aware that Australia cannot sustain a population of more than 20 million and would work in our best interests to ensure equality for all.

The Libs are running a Greek candidate  against the incumbent Keneally's seat of Heffron:



Patrice Pandeleos is her name.

I've gotta get my son to the doctors now, but in the meantime, this is the link to the official Population and Immigration policy that the Abbott Libs took to the 2010 electorate...

Joe Hockey was born in North Sydney, as the youngest of four children.

His father was born in Bethlehem of Armenian and Palestinian parentage and his Mum in Chatswood.

His family worked hard running a small business on the North Shore, beginning with a deli in Chatswood and later, a real estate agency in Naremburn.

Joe was educated at what is now St Philip Neri Primary School and St Aloysius' College in Milsons Point.  He attended the University of Sydney where he completed degrees in Arts and Law.

His enthusiasm for politics began as a young boy when Joe discovered that working with government for a meaningful cause could help bring about real change in a community.  His first victory came at the age of fourteen when he successfully lobbied his local Council to obtain cricket nets for local children in Northbridge.


At university, Joe became involved in student politics and was elected President of the Students Representative Council. He also held the position of President of the New South Wales Young Liberal Movement.

After university Joe worked as a finance and banking lawyer.  He was seconded to the New South Wales Government to take a lead role in the state privatisation program. He went on to become the Senior Policy Adviser to the Treasurer and then Director of Policy to the Premier of New South Wales.

Joe maintains a close relationship with the community organisations in our area.  He is a member of North Sydney Rotary, the North Sydney Leagues Club, North Sydney Rugby Club, North Shore Historical Society, Lane Cove Community Aid and Hunter Hill Ryde Community Services.  Joe is patron of the Northern Suburbs Netball Association, and Northbridge and Cammeray Golf Clubs and the North Sydney RSL Sub Branch. He is an ambassador for the White Ribbon Foundation, which aims to eliminate violence against women and also an ambassador for the Royal Life Saving Society's Keep Watch program.  He is a passionate and active support of the Humpty Dumpty Foundation which raises money to support children’s medical needs in NSW.
Joe is married and he and Melissa are the proud parents of their three young children, Xavier, Adelaide and Ignatius


That answer you question Skippy.
