I'm not even going to bother with a Poll as it usually gets bombarded with folk who have multiple I.D's to secure the poll in their favour.

I mean seriously, these select posters and we all know to whom I am referring need to be stopped. All this SPAM about the Liberal Party is becoming a nuisance.

Yes I know, If I don't like it, then don't read it. Pfffftt

Your thoughts without a poll.;-)

I just hope that whichever party is elected on September 14 is able to walk on water, cos only then may we be able to escape so many political threads and so many opposing views causing so much angst and hand wringing amongst our posters.

Not sure if I've just been oblivious to it all before, but lately these boards seem to be one gigantic weeing competition and a determination of who wears the biggest shoes.

I'm all for free speech and all that, but these posters are way over the top. I would also like to see it stopped.

YES INDEED. It's not a problem to have a discussion over something happening in politics (if it isn't the usual brain dead scrapping)...... but when it turns into a right wing wag the dog bash session on every thread.....it insults the intelligence of even the most tolerant.

Get rid of the poster doing it, and his many ID's...that might be a better idea.

Now thats free speech for you, just like the Labor party and what they tried to introduce. You dont like whats said so lets say we believe in free speech (NOT) but we shall complain and have it stopped and censored....

Yep sounds like a labor supporter to me and someone who says they are "all for free speech" as long as its supports their views and ideals....

Agree! the spam is tiresome, always says the same thing and clogs the boards. Spam is never ok... I wish they'd keep all their copy pastes nicked from spurious blogger sites, all in one thread.

Nero- I am not a Julia Gillard fan at all.

I hope she is gone in the next election.

But the constant bombarding of the boards with threads saying the same thing over and over again has got to stop.

Go join a board that has an interest in politics

I'm with this suggestion.

I dont think that will do anything.

What needs to happen is people MUST stop responding on those threads

DDB that won't work either, because that person with their many ID's invades non political threads to spread the SPAM.

I have voted for both parties in the past, & I'll make up my own mind who to vote for without your help, thanks very much

That would rely on him having to string a sentence together.

That would require more than the old C&Ps direct from the blogs of Bolt and Pickering

Well, I have my political ideas and views ... and I participate sometimes.

But, why don't the people who don't want to participate start up some new threads about topics they are interested in? I had a lot of fun on the art thread ... I'd love for that to be on the front page at all times.

I can always think of thread topics ...

Hints on painting my unit

What herbs can I plant in winter?

How can I get great results in housework without putting in much work?

What is public transport like in your area?

Do you dye your hair?

Men, do you shave your backs or legs?

What is your favourite item of jewellery?

I could go on ... and on ... and on ... 😉
