Mike Godwin comments on Australian politics
https://twitter.com/JustJen64/status/439384937435635712/photo/1 Now it's official, you can't cite Godwin's law as a reason for not comparing the Australian government policy (and the rampant cowardice among Australians which led to it) to what happened in Nazi Germany. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

Sorry, to clarify, there is a post in Russell's link referring to "Goodwin". I'm not sure what the right answer is to Australia's "asylum seeker" situation, but I'm pretty sure the current policy isn't it. The current policy suits the current populism, on both sides of politics.... It may have started under Howard but it continued and was revised to something similar under Rudd/Gillard...and is being continued under Abbott. The only difference I can see is that Abbott is trying to make it less visible. This isn't party political, so stop trying to make it look that way. Stop trying to blame the coalition/ALP. This is an issue which is beyond politics and requires our social and personal attention. On Sat, Mar 1, 2014 at 5:28 AM, Michael Scott <luv@inoz.net> wrote:

Tony Abbott should be held personally responsible for his own actions. The Liberal party should be held collectively responsible for their own party policies. The ALP did some bad things while they were in power, but they lost an election. Now the Liberal party is in power and they have to be held accountable for their own actions. If you want to protect the image of the Liberal party then encourage them to stop being evil. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
