A missed opportunity to 'sell' Coalition policies
So Tony Abbott has told members of his frontbench they cannot appear on Q No doubt the producers and the ABC will be devastated. Where was Mr Abbott when some of his media cronies made racist, sexist and/or homophobic remarks? He did not attempt to censor them. Telling his ministers what to do is a form of dictatorship, as well as censorship. It is also a foolish move,fake ladies rolex oyster perpetual datejust, since he is depriving the public of the opportunity of hearing debate on all sides of the political fence.
Q can quite rightly say that it invited government ministers to appear but that they declined or were forced to decline. Given the Coalition's unpopularity with many voters, one would think that any and all attempts to "sell" its policies would be welcomed with open arms. Apparently not. One might also think the Prime Minister does not have much confidence in his frontbench if he denies them the right to speak in certain situations.
Freedom of speech is one of our basic human rights and the rights of a "supposedly" free press forms part of those rights. If Mr Abbott insists on censoring the media, then he had better look beyond the ABC and broaden his "investigation". The Australian public should not have to put up with this level of hypocrisy from its government and its leader. It would be better if the Coalition focused on its policies and stopped fussing over what is a really a minor matter.

The public's right to hear ministers' views
In China,fake oyster perpetual datejust rolex, police have arrested a man who wrote on social media that people had jumped off buildings due to a stock market crash. Australians read this and are rightly concerned over this apparent crackdown on personal freedom of speech.
Now Tony Abbott orders his frontbenchers not to appear on Q He forgets that he is a manager, not a self appointed dictator. He should not determine who appears on television. Part of the population might like to hear what Barnaby Joyce has to say, just as part of the population is looking for modern thinking on gay marriage, not Mr Abbott's personal view.

Government's secret weapon: Bill Shorten
It was understandable that Tony Abbott would ban his second rate frontbench from appearing on Q More often than not, it ends up on the losing side in the battle of ideas, engages in pursuit of discredited policies and is the standard bearer for the defenders of the indefensible.
Censorship by the Prime Minister was inevitable. Limiting exposure of the lack of talent is no easy task. Fortunately for the government, it still has Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, whom it desperately needs, so as not to shorten its tenuous hold on power.

Ban will rebound on the Primer Minister
What happened to free speech? I want my elected representatives to openly and provocatively discuss the issues that matter to the members of Team Australia. Tony Abbott is taking a pugilistic stance against democracy, but ultimately it is he who will end up with the bloody nose. I cannot wait.

Childish behaviour not worthy of our leader
So Tony Abbott has had a tantrum and is taking away his Q bat and ball until we all play by his rules. I would expect such behaviour from a five year old, not our Prime Minister.
David Blair, HealesvilleAusterity policies imposed on Greece over the past five years have reduced Greece's gross domestic product by 25per cent, created unemployment levels of more than 25per cent (60 per cent for under 25s) and led to the emigration ofmany skilled workers. Such policies defy logic.
Three steps need to be taken if Greece is to become capable of contributing to the European Union. First, since its debts will take decades to repay, it makes sense to cancel them. Second, Europe's financial institutions should set aside the imposition of austerity programs. Third, the EU needs to provide development loans at EU interest rates to restore Greece's economy and set it on a path to growth.
The quid pro quo would be requiring Greece to allocate, say, 40per cent of annual growth to a Europe fund to repay this assistance. The irrational policies of recent Greek governments must be set aside if the EU is to produce a win win breakthrough.
In the wake of the Greek referendum, perhaps similar snap referendums in the other European Union democracies could check how much more money their citizens want transferred, no strings attached,oyster rolex perpetual datejust fake, to Greece.
