Tonight's debate will allow both leaders a chance to answer some of the forbidden questions.

I can't wait.

For a person who has not even brought your concerns to his local candidates, it would be foolish in the extreme to expect anyone else, including the party leaders to even be aware of your stupid list.

These topis are not forbidden, they have not even been brought to the attention of any political party.

Ya friggen genius.

Listen here BigOl,
we have received zero detail from both sides about all the above issues.
It's not democratic - vote for a party where you don't have a clue about what their policies are.

I've read through Real Solutions & there is hardly anything there except for this:

You got zero detail because you asked for zero detail. You have not sent any correspondance to your cadidates to the parties involved; what the bugger did you expect?

I and thousands of other Australians write or email our local members to have policies clarified or to voice our concerns about different issues and always recieve a reply; you have done nothing and expect your 'message' to be recieved through osmosis or some other phychic method.

bugger, pick up a pen and write a letter or send a fvcken email and stop whinging about something that is your fault.

another thought obviously not occurring to booby is that parties tend not to discuss topics where they both agree. both parties support negative gearing ergo they don't campaign on it.

The debates did touch on a number of the forbidden topics which I have highlighted.
I added (28) as we still don't know.

(28) Abbott's cuts.

Looks like people will be heading to the polling booths blind.

What an indictment of our sick democracy.

Less than 3 days to go & Abbott still hasn't released his costings.

Abbotts costings must be the greatest forbidden topic -
at least by the Libbos.
How can anyone vote for him if he avoids any scrutiny?

Don't make up stories Longy.

Everyone has a right to be paranoid of a man who won't tell you his costings
but wants you to vote for him.

What is Abbott hiding?
