Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbours stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog.

During our friendly conversation, I asked their 12 year old daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be Prime Minister.

Both of her parents - Socialist Labor - were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were Prime Minister what would be the first thing you would do?"

She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."

Her parents beamed with pride!

"Wow! what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're Prime Minister to do that!" I told her.

"What do you mean?" she replied.

So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"

I said, "Welcome to the Liberal Party."

Her parents aren't speaking to me.

I live across the street and was having a similar conversation with a liberal voting young man.

I said "see the homeless man over by the store laying on the ground all cold and hungry"

"yes" replied the boy

"Go and kick the shit out him while he is down and then tell him he is worthless, let him know that he isnt wanted by his fellow australians and what ever you do, dont ever EVER help him ."

"NO, there is no need to do that", replied the boy.

I said "welcome to the Labor party"
