    Hey tool, go back to your menagerie with the dead parrot, the rooster and the rest of the dogs in the Labor Party, and if you are a Democrat or a Green suck it. The Coalition will crush your little "socialist dream" in Australia. 9 More Years!

    It's tools like you who think that after 9 years Johnny is "unpopular". He has survived 4(?) elections and now has a strangle-hold on the Senate. Stop listening to the liberal media and actually do some thinking, it might hurt at first.

    Trying to plug the hole that is child Internet porn

    Nice.

    But on a slightly more serious note, if they want to stop child porn they should just make it illegal for priests to possess film and cameras.
