Those NSW libs must have been oppositionally-institutionalised... If they think this will help them, they are farking kidding themselves. They really need to change their advisors, because if they're using the ones they have listened to over the past decade, they obviously know not what they talk about! wtf is Barry thinking, supporting this?

If Australia seeks to persuade the rest of the world that we are overpopulated, we will be rightly laughed at". So Tanner and his Labor mates want to turn Australia's living standards to that of Bangladesh? These Lefties like Tanner are traitors and filth.

Obviously, he sees the exit poll figures which show that a large number of 18-24 year olds vote for parties of the Left (Labor, Greens, Democrats) over the parties of the Right. But he might be too smart by half. The majority of young people who jump up at 18 to be on the roll are self-selecting political types, the sort who can't wait to rush out and vote with their conscience. Of course we know who they're going to vote for. But when you force apprentice chippies and sparkies on to the rolls you open up a whole new ballgame. These are people who have better things to do with their time than enrol to vote. These are the sort of people who don't give a continental about old growth forests or whales or greenhouse gases. I suspect that Rees has not done his side a favour. By compelling people to go onto the roll, he's diluting all those young luvvie voters who adore the Left's causes and, worse, press ganging all those who don't give a stuff about issues - except perhaps to register a vote about how crap their daily communte in to work is on NSW public transport. Too clever by half - and I'll love to see the exit poll figures after March 2011 for these 18-24 year olds. Interesting move by Rees.
