Says it all, really.

It sure did bring the "snakes" out lightning. Whatever happened to a free flowing, adult  debate, this has turned into one-liners now.  I agree News Ltd press via journalists like Janet Albrechtson( I think she is News Ltd)  have a big loud voice and influence over the populace, but how many people are really reading in some depth,  articles like this one, and putting some thought into the matter, on either side of the debate?   

I did the ABC Compass questionnaire online and was not surprised to find myself closely aligned with both the major parties on most policies. So, if, in this case, I can't pick the best policies, what to do?

I do think Labour now have the "right of reply" by way of an equally thought provoking article. Anyone got one thats more than one sentence long?  

I should have said "I was closely aligned on some policies, but they were very important ones" My results showed 47/37%  lib/labour. If anyone hasn't done the Compass thing, it is an eyeopener in itself. 

Isn't seeing snakes everywhere a common manifestation of delerium tremens?

Snakes in suits is a sexist expression or has it been lifted from here: Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work;  a book title.

Still one-liners....now I'm doing it, OMG it's contagious! Yes, it is from the book title, READ the article at post No. 1

Ever heard of being succinct? ...briefly and clearly expressed.
