Letters to the Editor
Hi Guys!
Australia is going yet further down the path of Americanisation - Hi Guys!!! God that phrase makes me cringe, shiver and shake. Howard is a US sycophant as too many of our Pollies from both sides are. What next? - are we to go to war with Iran - how suicidally stupid can they get?
I am not religious and don't mind someone being Christian, Muslim, Buddist or whatever but I DO NOT WANT to be ruled by any theocracy! I also do not want to be governed by idiots who do the AWB's, Tampa's, Children Overboard etc etc.
The current IR scandal initiated by Howard and Company is obviously going to be made worse (keep current France in mind here) after the next election if Howard and Minchin are put back in plus don't forget Andrews and and the pseudo-Pom in charge of Foreign Affairs!
The ALP and all true working class people have to wake up and view reality and get the Bastards Honest at the next election by voting them out and placing them back in opposition where they rightfully belong.
Wake up Australia and get the ALP ball rolling!!!!!!!!!!
