Why are people such staunch Labor voters?

[curmu-curmu]

Particularly when every Labor governement in living history has amounted such huge debts whilst in office?

Or is it just that they blindly follow the old mantra, that 'Labor is for the working man?'

Now don't get me wrong - I don't particularly like Abbott, and I sure as h3ll didn't like Rudd or Gillard, but there's so much more to a political party than it's leader.

Feel free to discuss...

Why on earth would you say  the majority of posters here are concerned about the  working man? Freudian slip perhaps?

NZ banking system was way ahead of Aus, when I went to live in Aus I could not believe 16 years ago the old banking system.

I had to full out a deposit slip and a withdrawal for a cheque, in NZ it was just quick over the counter with your card.

I voted Green as a protest.

Showing your and the female of the species insecurity ?

Are you and others so insecure that you need it to be person or woman so that 'man' isn't highlighted ?

It's an expression, nothing more, nothing less, unless you are Germaine Greer
Who reads sexist offence into everything LOL

A vote for the Greens is a vote for Labor, but I'm sure you know that.

Congratulations, Vic, in a single post you have managed to encapsulate the essence of two equally unpleasant mindsets - male chauvinism and "I'm all right Jack."

[vicr3000]

Really ?

And in your one sentence you showed the pathetic ness of feminism.

Because I questioned your post ?

You still haven't said why you questioned his use of the word man ?


Give me a valid reason other than it is only one sex, which Means NOTHING in the scheme of things.

Like calling a man hole cover a person hole cover, it is PC BS of the highest order.
