		<description>Ben, can I ask that you please review a defamatory comment about me from &quot;RT&quot; on Stretton - Queensland 2012.  My short response sums up the history (that can also be deleted). If such comments, that are clearly designed to smear people, are allowed to be posted without any evidence, it will undermine your site.

Regards

David Forde
Independent Candidate for Stretton</description>

		<description>To RT, that is a slanderous accusation and compares to similar ones that the peak Jewish body in QLD condemned that came from sections of the ALP.</description>

		<description>Terence the DLP was a force through the 1950&#039;s 1960&#039;s 1970&#039;s and re-emerged with a State seat in 2006 followed by a Federal Senator in 2010.
It is listed as one of the fastest growing political parties in the country and has grown quickly from its lowest point in 2005 where it struggled to stay registered right through to its current membership of over 4500 members  many of which are in our YDLA youth groups.
Katters party and others have based many of their policies on DLP policies and beliefs.  The current Website is www.dlp.org.au and a Queensland section should be available shortly.  
In the meantime Rowan would be happy to answer any questions and at coomera@dlp.org.au.
Its name pre-dates the Nationals, LNP, the Greens and its roots are connected to many of our major parties today.  The liberal party was held in power and would not exist today except for the 23 years that the DLP preferenced them. (Menzies even switching to become a DLP voter and supporter in later life)  The Nationals were to be the merger of the Country Party and the DLP and The DLP originally came out of the ALP at the Split.</description>

		<description>Excuse me, Terence. These policies make great sense to the &quot;uneducated&quot; as well as the die hard tory. I and probably Matt are not a policy maker. We are not a lawyer or a politician. We are educated in different areas. Perharps some are not educated to meet your standard. so &quot;uneducated&quot; people are not allowed to speak up??? If you call us &quot;uneducated&quot; because we do not agree with you, you are just making a negative reputation about your party.  We as a voter, we are putting our opinions. You should respect that fact.  More and more you attack voters, you will lose reputation. Unfortunately, some candidates from your party do not derserve that as they are working hard and decent persons as well as LNP and Labor candidates.</description>

		<description>Phil, how can you say that I am involving myself in everyone else&#039;s conversation when you appear on every seat, with a pathetic rant here and a pathetic conservative rant there. I am not KAP. I am minor party. Your party will be knowing exactly what that feels like after March 24th. 

BTW, Broadbeach rebound to LnP seems to be highly likely when you have little campaiging by any other candidate for any other party. Pubs in the afternoon are not very proactive use of limited time!!!!!</description>

		<description>Jett, read my reply to your good mate/alter ego Matt. These policies make great sense to the uneducated as well as the die hard tory because they are not policies at all, only PR rubbish. We need how the LnP will save tourism etc. We need to know exactly how Can&#039;t do will get us to 4% unemployment!!! You need to underake your research if you beleive that this all makes sense. An absolute glossy crock is what the link is.

How will Katter screw farmers if he stops the monopoly of the big two corps? I dont know about stopping trade to China either. I doubt that will occur. I do however believe that KAP would regulate the petrol industry by giving a domestic price on fuel etc. These are federal issues not state ones. Let&#039;s talk about these issues next year. 

What we need to speak about is how the minor parties are going to take the fight up against the LnP with its pathetic just vote 1 strategy. GONE GONE GONE. The House will be full of KAP, Independents, etc after March 24. Get ready for the change everyone. By not giving preferences to anyone else, LnP will become a minority party in their own right. BRING IT ON .</description>

		<description>Matt, where is one policy? I see a lot of crap there myself regarding your four pillar economy - the first being a 4% unemployment rate! The very same one that Can&#039;t -do so eloquently broke the other week. Better tourism = how are you going to do it? These are just catchcrys. 
This link that you sent me is all wrapping and an empty box my friend! LnP gloss over rust!!! You have got to be kidding me. I stand by what I said the other week about not one policy being articulated. Unlike you, my tory friend, I comment and post with evidence and knowledge on areas of subject matter - not propaganda. You may like to undertake a basic politics 101 course at TAFE or something to understand what this is all about.</description>

		<description>Forde will spend most of his time campaigning in Kuraby where the Muslim vote is pretty high, no doubt crapping on about &quot;Palestine&quot; and how evil the Jews are.  That&#039;s where most of his votes will come from, not the other areas of Stretton.

Any chances of a BDS campaign against Syria Fordie?  Or is it just the Jews you boycott?</description>
