it seems insane that fox would pass up the chance to get on board with the NBN, they are in the best place to deliver content through it of anyone in the country
if the libs get in, watch them back down on turnbull's internets and carry on building the NBN with fox getting the first suck of the juicy mango

build it and they will come
also anyone who reckons fibre to the home is a waste of time and will never be needed needs to try it for themselves
stayed in a verizon FiOS enabled joint in new york a few weeks back - leaves everything else for, as MFKS would say it, ****ING DEAD
Oi comrade I'm not really one way or the other.Originally Posted by boz-monaut
I just think that pretty much everyone has a lean and good on them for taking sides.
But to say its 'just' Murdoch or 'just' the ABC that are biased isnt fair either tis all.
there's having a lean, such as say the Guardian, and then there's feeding bullshit to the masses to further your own interests such as Murdoch does
what pisses me off is when you say something like the ABC is equally as biased as Murdoch
that is simply not correct
I totally agree with your point about News Ltd.
But I didn't say they were equally as bad, just that both sides had friendly media.
Except Clive, no one seems to be helping him.
you said they were doing the same thing - they clearly aren't
Clive needs to buy his own papers and television and fill it with plastic dinosaurs and cruiseliners that will never be built
Rupert not the bloody spindoctor, he's just a puppet
'Same thing' meant 'taking a side'.
And as I said I agree that no one beats News Ltd when they have a gripe. Just ask outgoing state finance minister Greg Pearce.....who is a turd.
Anyway, arguing about that won't solve the big issues.
Like animatronic dinosaurs.
Next topic:
What's your two main issues that will influence your vote this election?
I'll go first.
1. Economy: and more importantly its impact on small business.
2. Education: about to enter that part of the world for the first time in a long time.
OK, grubby journalism - Labor 1, Lib 0
Main issues
1. Entire health system overhaul, inclusive of NDS
2. Job creation. Real not manipulated
Edit, the only thing they need to do in education is bring back the bloody cane, and a big one

lol, glad someone else brought this up, I got the same feeling but didn't know how to put it in words.
What about that that ABC Vote Compass thing now (political compass based on response to 30 questions). System of judgement is a bit whack, so Australian. Labor defs wouldn't be considered so left-wing by many standards, imo they would be on par with many conservative governments internationally. Bit of a laugh though, I came out as a true commie at the end of it, slightly more left-wing than The Greens
Where is this? Link? I think we should all do this and post results.What about that that ABC Vote Compass thing now (political compass based on response to 30 questions).

Edit: yep, did it. Turns out I'm slightly economic right (only just off the centre) and only slightly on conservative side on social issues (once again only just off centre).
Weighted results I was exact between Libs and Left. Non weighted much closer to the right.
Interesting. Highly recommend.
Thanks Militia.
when i did it i was between the greens and labor, closer to labor when weighted.
Please don't take this the wrong way but that really surprised me based on reading you on the foz.
Oh yeah soz, here's the link for those who hadn't already heard about it:

Good for a squiz, takes 10 mins.
Edit: plague, were you surprised by my result too?
Not one bit.Edit: plague, were you surprised by my result too?
Bhahahahahahaha
Please don't let the MFKS get near it. I dare say he'll be right next to the "I don't give a **** about anyone Party".
Would need a third axis, the Kale Scale
Although really it would be the only axis.
Don't worry I will stay the **** away from it.
I am already a card carrying member of the I don't give a **** about which political party gets in. They are both ****ing incompetent and full of ****ing shit.
The Liberals take credit for running a good economy by refusing to spend the taxes we pay so we have no infrastructure then the Labour party spend money we don't have by building heaps of infrastructure and send the nation broke.
Both lots of them have NFI and refuse to tackle real issues yet carry on about a ridiculous issue of a couple of thousand poor foreigners in ****ed up situations coming to this country by boat to escape the ****ing troubles in their homelands.
Simple solution to this process the ****s quickly make a decision if they stay or get sent back. Save a couple of million on this instead of keeping these poor blokes locked up on Nauru or PNG for a year or so whilst they twiddle their ****ing thumbs. None of this stopping the boats or Pacific Solution or whatever bullshit they can come up with. Poor people in ****ed up situations are still gonna try and come here no matter what
Once this is dealt with they then can get on with dealing some real ****ing issues in this country not some make believe issue that buys votes due to the latent divisive racism in the issue
