The partisan ABC has struck again, campaigning for the ALP in the NSW state election. The election is Saturday, and the forty eight hour curfew on advertising kicked in Wednesday evening. Only after the curfew did the ABC reveal through its' fact check unit that the ALP had lied about its central policy position on the rental of poles and wires for the electricity grid. Had the ABC released the detail earlier, the ALP would have had to address it. Now, they go to election without a single policy, except to mindlessly oppose conservative government. They are in effect begging the people of NSW to return their furniture again. Why should NSW peoples save the furniture of the ALP? What good would it do? Federally, the ALP furniture saved from the previous appalling Rudd Gillard Government has opposed every single sensible economic budget measure, leaving for the future the choice of levels of debt for our children.
Putting the toxic and dangerous ALP aside, there are the minor parties, all of which oppose conservative government on most issues. Greens vote against environmental concerns to support the ALP. The point of difference the Greens being further to the left. PUP has an almost perfect voting record for the ALP, a point of difference being they would oppose security legislation too. Xenophon opposes education and health reform needed to sustain high quality outcomes for the future. The only way to get good government that works effectively to support all the peoples of the state is to vote for Liberals or Nationals in alliance.
On this day in 1613, the first child was born to an Englishman in Canada. Nicholas Guy, late of Cuper's Cove. 1625, Charles I became king of much, which he later lost. 1794, the US began a navy. 1836, Santa Ana committed what is now thought to be a war crime, killing 342 Texas POWs. 1851, Yosemite was seen by Europeans for the first time in recorded history. 1871, the first international Rugby match took place when Scotland beat England in Raeburn Place, Edinburgh. 1881, rioting took place against Salvation Army's promotion of teetotalism in Basingstoke. In 1884, an outraged mob targeted the jury in Cincinnati who had returned a verdict of man slaughter for a clear murder. The crowd, proving they could make mistakes too, found the name of one juror and then attacked another person with the same name, throwing dead cats and rotten eggs through their window. Another juror was told he was fired when he went to work. Popular press supported the murderous rioters. In 1886, Geronimo surrendered. In 1910, a barn dance fire killed 312 in Hungary. In 1915, Typhoid Mary was quarantined for the rest of her life. 1941, Yugoslav Airforce officers topple the pro Nazi government in a bloodless coup. 1945, as the US was aerially mining Japanese ports, Argentina declared war on Germany and Japan. In 1981, 12 million Poles went on strike against their communist government. In 1998, FDA approved Viagra for human consumption. 2002, a Palestinian terrorist killed 29 in Israel over passover.

Two conservative leaders have spoken, apparently taking oppositional stances to federal government policy. Mr Howard has said he would not have implemented an honours system and would not accept one. Mr O'Farrell has said that racism needs to be opposed. What they have said is not wrong, but highlights points of differences the media are expanding on for no good reason.
Section 18c addressing racism is failed legislation that does not address it. It is an enemy to free speech. To oppose the legislation is not the same as supporting racism. Bigots like Tanya Plibersek have been able to abuse Israel and a former Israeli conservative leader despite the legislation existing, showing that anti semitism is not addressed by the legislation. Andrew Bolt had a public discussion which was silenced when a person took exception to something most reasonable people would ignore. For me, it is telling that Mr O'Farrell has not seen clearly my own issue, which calls into question his judgement. But, it is true, no one likes racism. The best way to combat racism is a public spotlight, and a law which limits free speech will not do that. Because even with the law, abuses occur.
Mr Howard failed to address bias within the ABC. There is a theory of cultural assets which is different to the theory of minority covenant. At the moment, noisy minorities dominate and skew public proceedings, so that institutions which support society are damaged. Cultural assets, if they are built and respected and maintained, heal rifts opened by damage to culture. It isn't possible to support every minority, some are oppositional. However, by supporting cultural assets, everyone can be catered for. Including minorities. An honours system is a cultural asset. It doesn't do anything that might hurt a minority, but it supports a society and culture which when functioning right allows everyone to prosper. I'm sorry Mr Howard doesn't see that.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
