Screenshot of a Peta Credlin column in the Oz. The blurb says, "Nothing unites a political party more than the sense that it’s now in a fight with the other side rather than with itself." Genius!

Calling Labor's current approach "incrementalism" or "small target" or whatever makes it sound like they are are an overly cautious progressive govt. Matters like this show that they are actively pursuing policies that make them indistinguishable from the centre right: not incrementalists at all.

BIG UPDATE! Alex Volvach, a National Socialist Network member who attended the rally at NSW Parliament, has a police-issued license allowing him to install and maintain security devices and has held contracts with the NSW Education Department. Click the link below for the updated story.
