today in australia, our prime minister has control of the senate which is the only component of the government which can block his whims.
this is basically loss of control with rules regarding to wages and so forth for all workers and unions are not happy.

howard controls the majority of the senate which is the only component of our government who can block legislation, basically this country is going to the dogs.

basically yeah, he can pass laws and legislation and no one can stop him since he has the majority. time to vote him out next term, im afraid tho it will be too late to undo a lot of what he has done.

People nowadays generally elect evil people because they were blind and ignorant to whats happening for real from lies and propaganda,

Hitler did it, Bush does it, Tony Blair has little bit of help, the governments have gotten away with it for years.

No body rarely takes notice of protests, although if you look into english history (i'm sure its in other country history too, I dunno) you can learn good ways of winning, like the dockers strike, they went on strike no biggy, loads of people are desperate for work, so they boycotted the places, but never used violence (well some people went out of hand) so people manage to sympathesise, but, they got friendly with newspapers and local authorites and charity gave them the budget to carry on from all their support, bosses were still ignorant, so the strikers money started to run out, so as they were about to run out, the rich Australian dockers from down under support them.

But man thats sux, Australia going under a dictatorship ( well not completely, you can vote him out ), its not safe to trust dictators, look at Hitler. Why can't anyone in this world ever follow under a good government!!! One that use real democracy not facism in disguise or where the majority is owned by a leader so they have the power or only two parties to vote from

Would you mind explaining what saying "Australia's a dictatorship, except it's not!" accomplishes

I'm saying Bush is satan hitler, I just think the two(Hitler/bush) are very easily comparible, which I managed to do in a history lesson when we were studying Hitler's politics, I just found it similar to how I saw Bush's similar, hence Adolf Bush.

@Indi, democracy is hardly anywhere, effing governments!

If anyone is gonna have a go at me at my bush point, please don't hijack this dudes thread and put it into my flamebait thread
