I have one question to the fools who wish to turn the amazing country into a republic. I would love you answer. NAME ME ANY REPUBLIC ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD YOU WOULD WISH TO LIVE IN.??????????

As a candidate in this recent election I have been on an amzing lifetime Journey.I will write a story about it.a nd some of the amazing people I have met.But it is now looking like it was a dress rehearsal. I hope that if there is another election callled that people open their minds to the real issues and do not vote because they have the Prime Monister in their electorate.Dom; they realise that they will get less funding as it will be seen as favouritism . They have bitched and whinged in Lalor for years about the lack of infrastructure yet they make the seat safer. So I guess they mus be happy. I guess we will not have to see letters to the editor on the lack of Police the roads the Rail transport or Hospital facilitiies here in Lalor. So send us plenty more people to the district seems we can handle the situation and we will all share the lack of infrastucture. If they are late every morning for work and eventually get the sack remember you did not want change. It will not worry me as my husband and self are retired and will not have to put up with it.I stood to hopefully make a change for you all. But you like it theway it is.

I would take this opportunity to thank all of those who supported me in my efforts. to the People who stood for hours handing out in the freezing cold to the retailers who helped and to the other parties that fought for change.To my son who ran miles and miles letter box dropping to my friends for their encouragment. For my husband who kept the home fires burning. I can not thank you enough. Also Patrick and Kate who set up my website. You are the true backbone of this wonderful country. To Steve Fielding and his Staff thank you for the chance to take a stand.

Where have our values gone. When we have a Prime Minister of a Christian Country say she does not believe.how do we teach the children the rights and wrongs in life.

The ten commandments are the same in all Christian beliefs.How do we live together in Harmony without these values.

We are now being inundated with other religions Some of who believe that it is a man ‘s right to have several wives. as long as our social welfare foots the bills for them as they are not legally married. They can claim our taxpayers money. When as a Christian country we believe in one man one partner.

Tonight I hear that the Greens are going to legalise same sex marriages. I do not care what sexual preferences people have.What consenting adults do with their lives their business. Same sex Human relationships have been going on since the beginning of time. That is the choice of the parties.

But i do not believe in same sex marriage ,as marriage is a to legitimise the birth of child. There are other ways to legitimise a relationship without calling it marriage. I apologise if I have offended anyone but this is my view and my belief. Find another name for it but do not use the word marriage.

WE now are going to have 150 real people talking about climate change. What about the othe millions of unreal people who votes a party into power then they listen to 150 REAL people.

Can someone please qualify what is a REAL person to me. What are we paying all this money to pollies for so as they can ask 150 REAL people to make the decision. So I guess the 400 people we sent to Copenhagen were not REAL enough. One wonders how Unreal this Govt is.

I hear on the streets that Monday is going to be a crucial day for the Labor Party. With much anger from the mining companies for Julia getting into bed withe greens.

Mining companies are very powerful in this country it is one of a few sources of revenue.As most manufacturing has gone overseas.Lucky for Australia this is one business they can not send away.

I am sure they have now been betrayed by the Labor party for all them saying they have settled the mining tax. What would anyone expect now that they have given their preferences to the Greens. There has to be some sort of deal done there.

If the people of this country are silly enough to vote in a Labor Party giving control to the greens I feel we are doomed.

Will she or wont she , Will he or won’t he. Is she lying is he lying, Who the hell knows. why do politicians play these mind games why can’t they be honest and up front. If they want your vote put up some great policies and stop making it a talent quest

I was always told believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see. That pretty well sums up our two major parties

The real fear with all of this bickering and back biting the Greens are going to get vote from the unsuspecting voters who do not realise that they will gain the balance of power in the senate. This will be disasterous for this country as we will see a hike in business taxes, increase in the basic cost of living,supporting Drug addicts with taxpayers money, and increase the risk of more bush fires.

We need to keep Senator Fielding in the Senate to maintain an even balance of power. So when you cast your vote think very carefully what impact your vote will have on this Country for the next 20years.

Two weeks ago we had Mr Pallas telling us what a wonderful job Labor had done for the Police Force. Well goody goody for him why the bloody hell have the Police been so discontent telling me about the shortage of numbers and resources.Why have I spent the Last 6 years telling Labor about the problems our police are facing.Why did the Police Assoc present 70000 signatures to Parliament The Labor Party seem to think they have done a marvellous Job by building a new police Station in Tarniet.It was I believe all for show to make it look like we had more police. In Fact we have fewer now than ever before.
Then today we have a brochure from the Federal Labor to say how well they have looked after the pensioners.

I am just wondering when the mail will arrive that tells us how few police we have on the beat and how crime is at an all time high.You see they only count the crime that is made in a report not calls over the phone.I guess all the bashings going on are just a put a show by someone trying to discredit the Labor Party.
Then next we will receive a flyer to say that there is no problem with the MYKI cards just a few hiccups that cost us a bloody fortune and still not fixed. The we might get another to say that the roads are brilliant in the Western Suburbs just do not go there in the peak hour.It is the fault of the people they all want to go to work at the same time.

I guess the Federal Government will send us a brochure to say the Pink Bats were the fault of someone else and the canteen overspend for schools was just an invoicing error that it really did not cost 600000 dollars for a shed.

The there is the boat people, we can now say without fear of being called racist what we think. Well all the money these people have paid to come here why did they not pool all their money and buy a luxury liner to travel to and fro. Just for instance 100 people paying $30000 that would be $3 million for a start.Multiply that by the number of boats and that would probably buy a cruiser.

Now if the Lady in the ANZ bank add come out on the screen when Labor wins if they do and say “Not my Problem” I will believe her because the problem will be the ones that vote them back in with the Greens beside them.

Well how often does it happen that a woman throws a man out of his house. Well it happened again today at the highest level Surprisingly there was no domestic Violence. he went quickly and quietly.

I really think that they should have waited to after the Election.Seems that Kevin was rounding up his friends and not too many wanted to come to his party.I have always said keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

I now wonder how little time Julia will have to spend in her own electorate to take care of the people who voted for her. I guess the answer from her office will be “That is what we are here for” from her local admin staff. Well guess what you are not th people who got voted in. When a local person wishes to speak with their local member that is who they should be able to speak to.

Maybe at least the Councillors will see to some improvements to the local area seeing we will be the spotlight for the Media.That could work.

As a person I have always found Julia very pleasant we just have different political views. I hope for her sake she does not change .
I also hope that we do not see the Country once again bow to Union Pressures. Small business can not afford to these days as many people are struggling to keep their heads above water.I hear that many businesses now only hire staff through agencies because they cannot afford to hire staff who do not turn up or do a good job and they can not sack them for all the bull they have to go through.

Well I guess it is a waiting game now to see what happens at the forth coming election. Only time will tell.

Same party different Salesperson.

Well what do you know. This Government has finally recognised that we have gangs on Melbourne streets. How amazing they have never thought they were here before . Maybe they gave just arrived and what we have been saying for years was just a flight of fancy.

They got rid the Asian squad now all that experience has gone and we have to start again.amazing what they find out when there is an election. They start to wake up to get votes. All the promises they are making now are worthless as we realise that is just to win votes.

Thank you to Bernie Finn for his kind remarks.. The Labor Party is still living in disneyland.Ms Tierney is boasting about the New Stations built by the Labor party. Any fool can build a building and call it a Police Sation. All the new Tarniet Station has done is to rob the Police from other areas. Leaving other stations grossly undermanned. The Werribee No 1 Station has now one third of the members they had when we started campaigning in 2004. How many petitions need to be taken to Parliament and What part of police shortages do the Labor Party not understand. As for realsing the members from admin duties why do they think they are there. Mainly because they are worn out on the beat of neglect of resource. they have had to work with.It takes five years to get a new recruit up to scratch to learn the ropes. So after all this time they are saying what the Liberals have already promised is more police numbers. Why have they not done this five years ago so as by now we would have had a strong police force.well trained and equiped. I have been watching Sir Ken Jones operate since he was employed and I can not understand why he was not appointed Chief Commissioner. We had the opportunity to have a coomissioner heading our police force with so much knowlege of police on the beat situation world wide. Yet we got a Chief Commissioner who has never been operational. I feel this was obviously a political appointment. Not based on knowledge and ability .

Take a good look at the Police Minister Bob Cameron has he ever faced a drug infused violent person in his life. Let me tell you I have faced off with many violent drunks and it is not a enviable situation you need all the negotiational skills to handle this .

We are so lucky to have the trained officers that do a marvellous
job and should be afforded all the help and resources they need to do their job. Not walking around with holes in their shoes while they wait three months for a new pair. Get real politicians and look after our Police force one day it may be you waiting for the van that can not attend because of shortage of numbers.

One suggestion if you are in this situation ring 000 and call fire you will have six burly officers there very quickly while you are waiting and waiting for an ambulance to turn up. The Police may arrive the next day to take your statement or they may say just ring us and file a report.

Does this Government realise that we have more and more people here now stretching our resources. IF we are not coping and do not have the money to fund the infrastructure stop the migration.
