    Once upon a time, true conservatives defended what had worked well through time, even if there was an ostensible case for change. Now the trashing of major institutions, and the rule of law, has become standard for conservative politicians.

        We both know they’re radicals, not conservatives. One big false flag operation.

        Well said Paul. People like @corybernardi hijack the term conservative when he and his band of haters are in reality right wing radicals. Equally they co opt the label of Christian whilst being as far from Christ as you can go

        They are not conservatives. They are right-wing radicals.

        Funny, just been talking to a woman here in Indonesia who was using the terms 'Muslim conservatives' and 'Muslim radicals' interchangeably. There's even an Islamic Flat Earth Society.

        Once upon a time, the left was about supporting freedom of speech, not suppressing it.

        Free speech or hate speech? What do you want to say but feel you or others can't?

        Yes. I hate the word conservative used to describe these vandals. They're not conserving, they're taking us backwards. Regressives or reactionaries.

        These are no longer conservatives. They are organised-criminal robber-barons whose respect for any institution is entirely conditional on its service of their personal interest.

        This is what really gets my goat because all of the 'rusted ons' are voting for a completely different beast to what their parents did. And it's destroying a lot of what society has achieved.

        Simple explanation Bernard. When you look at the amount of featherbedding and pocket filling being done but this 'Government', they're not conservative, they're thieves, crooks, criminals. And the polls say 46% to 48% of Australians are cheering them on.

        Didn’t Paul Keating say the conservatives have always been the real constitutional wreckers; Labor & progressives the upholders of the Constitution and human rights. Well, the latter held true until recently as Labor decided to incarcerate refugees and help build a police state.
