Because it's your message it's not from someone else. I'm not shooting you, I just lost any respect for you.

So it's ok to call groups of people whatever you want (however disrespectful, intolerant, ignorant or bigoted you are) as long as you don't single one person out?

Perhaps if you were politically aware you would look into other parties platforms.

I'm not saying you are incapable of keeping kids safe. I don't know about that.
If I emailed your employer forwarding what you expressed on a public forum, would they be happy? Why not? It's nothing to do with being PC. It's about having bigoted values. No one wants their kids being influenced by intolerant bigots.

12% of Australia voted green. Even without proportional representation they only got one seat in the lower house. It's not exactly a flood.
This is the country you live in. As a lot of redneck bumper stickers say "Australia. If you don't love it- Leave"
