Not Queensberry rules

I got a fairly serious lecture today about why it's important to be *nice* to the morons who are doing their best to destroy our government and insert their favourite conservative party in the big seats in Canberra.

I was told that it is important not to "lose one's dignity" when the other side is going bananas and telling lies all over the place.

Apparently *they* can behave in an undignified manner - but *we* must be civilised and dignified.

I was told to "smile and turn the other cheek" when Murdoch's cronies make stuff up in support of Abbott's mad agenda.  As they do every day.

The political game is really warfare by a different name.  The winner gets to impose their plan on the nation and its people for the next 3 years and often for 6 or 9 years.

And a few of us know what Mr Murdoch and his cronies have in store for the nation after they manage to insert Mr Abbott into the big seats.

They won't tell you about it in advance - but all you have to do is check out what their friends "Cameron and Osborne" are doing to Britain, and what "Romney and Ryan" have in mind for the US after November.

Oh and what "Mr Newman" is currently doing to Queensland.

The tragedy is that our government are playing by "Queensberry Rules" - but Murdoch and the conservatives are street scrappers.
