Neo-Nazi Muzak Too Harsh For Polish Ears<\/strong><\/p>\n

Polish state authorities obviously take this shit more seriously than do the Australian. EJP<\/strong> reports that ‘Hundreds of neo-Nazi CDs seized in Poland’<\/a>: “WARSAW (EJP) — Customs officers in Poland have intercepted a parcel containing hundreds of neo-Nazi CDs on its way from the United States to Germany. Officers in Wroclaw opened the package to find 300 CDS with neo-Nazi lyrics and illustrations, after they were posted on by a Polish resident, named only as Bartosz J, in the south-western town of Opole… Bartosz J. faces two years in prison for propagating Nazi material.”<\/p>\n

D’oh!<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n

According to the Victorian Greens<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

In the 2004 Federal election, the ALP, Democrats and Liberals for Forests preferenced conservative Christian Family First Senate candidate Steve Fielding ahead of Greens candidate David Risstrom. The Greens got 243,580 primary votes, and Family First got only 53,032 primary votes. However, Steve Fielding was elected to the Senate on preferences, predominantly those from the ALP. He went on to provide the Howard government with the crucial vote it needed to introduce regressive Voluntary Student Unionism legislation. This legislation was opposed by Greens, Democrats and the ALP.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And more recently, Steve put Australia’s richest families first with his support for further media monopolisation<\/a>. However, not everyone is appreciative of Steve’s efforts on behalf of the rich and powerful, it seems, as according to The Age<\/em>, “hackers”<\/a> struck the party’s site today, and when I checked I got this message:<\/p>\n
