		<description>I don&#039;t have faith in the Labor Party anymore...

All I know is Howard has to go... but I think the Nat Executives of the NSW Labor Party Branch ... (well one inparticular) is a lying... manipulative... snake... 

Go the Greens?</description>

		<description>electorial misbehaviour practiced by both ALP/LIB, directed at the Greens, is proof of the threat the Greens pose to the snug 2PP regime opperated by the powers that be.

Thanks for the link Pi.</description>

		<description>374  envy Says: September 26th, 2007 at 2:53 pm
&lt;blockquote&gt;The Climate Change Coalition are a frount for the ALP, &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m sorry Envy... but wasn&#039;t it the liberal supporters that handed out deceptive how-to-vote cards to green voters, different from the actual green party how-to-vote cards, in order to get their preferences?

The liberals are in not position to point fingers at anyone, regarding their relationship to green issues, or green parties.

http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/em/elect04/report/minority.pdf

&lt;blockquote&gt;Recommendation 48  
The Committee recommends that the AEC review sections 340 and 348 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act with a view to addressing issues of â€œmisleading conductâ€ on polling day.
Several electorates on polling day 2004 saw the distribution of how-to-vote cards which were clearly designed to mislead voters into voting for a party they did not intend to vote for. This was particularly obvious when the manner in which these cards were distributed is taken into account. The Government members of the Committee devoted a great deal of time to expounding their view that the Government candidate in the Division of Richmond was defeated as a result of a deceptive how-to-vote card distributed by the Liberals for Forests group. We do not believe that the Government members proved this to be the case, but we agree with those Government members who argued that the manner in which a card is distributed must be taken into account, not just the content of the card itself, as the Act currently provides.
Government members tried to have it both ways on this question, by condemning what they saw as the misleading distribution of the Liberals for Forests card in Richmond, while condoning a clearly well-orchestrated campaign by the Liberal Party to deceive Australian Greens voters in the Division of Melbourne Ports by the blatantly misleading distribution of a green-coloured how-to-vote card. It was probably not a good idea for the Liberal Party to organise this stunt in the electorate of the Deputy Chair of this Committee.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
