don’t you mean Chris Bowen, Prospect MP, not Chris Prospect?

anyway, the charge is obviously ridiculous. Your explanation sounds perfectly plausible, Jacques. The LDP has managed to get enough members anyway without needing to con some poor old deluded codger who’s voted for the same party for 50 years (!!!) into joining. It doesn’t need people like that anyway.

Anyone who votes for the same party for 50 years shouldn’t be considered an intelligent member of society.

It’s interesting that it’s the ALP after us, rather than the Libs. We stand to get most of our support from disaffected Liberals sick of the social conservatives/big government conservatives that have got Australia’s (supposedly) ‘small government party’ (ha!) by the short and curlies.

Maybe the Howardistas are fighting fires on too many other fronts.
