The Loss of Bob Day to Family First and Australia is large. After Steven Fielding did a dummy spit to help Kevin Rudd cover up the gang rape of an Aboriginal girl in detention, Family First had little credibility. To be fair, Fielding had been told by Family First not to vote that way. Subsequently, judges told Campbell Newman that Rudd was allowed to shred evidence of the rape, because it wasn't for personal gain and he was acting for government and such corruption has been accepted by the voter. Bob Day has promoted free speech and defended cultural assets. However, as a bankrupt related to a business interest collapsing, Day has to leave parliament. It didn't turn out that way for Craig Thomson when he lied to Australia about his activity as a senior unionist for Australia's poorest employees.

Who will defend free speech in Australia? Turnbull counselled Abbott against it, and Abbott had to put it on the back burner. Turnbull promised he would bring it forward, but hasn't. ALP does not want free speech, wanting to exploit their advantage of corruption. Bob Day was willing to sponsor a member's bill. An ALP, Greens and NXT dominated senate will prevent free speech. Turnbull promised he would communicate bills better than Abbott. However it is apparent that Turnbull is communicating that he does not value free speech.

The HRC is persecuting a cartoonist, following on from their persecution of university students denied access to a computer based on their race. There is nothing more important than free speech. We cannot discuss what we need to without it. It isn't that the law is bad, but also people in position of responsibility are not responsible. So that the HRC should be dismantled.

I suggest Red Gum ward vote for David Daniel Ball. And, after asking your local councillor about their views on Trump, Same Sex Marriage and Greyhounds, try and find out what it is they will do to make garbage collection cheaper and more efficient. Ask how they will make business more profitable. Ask what they will do to help address crime. Ask what they will do to improve public transport issues locally.
