Logan Party Time

Political leanings of candidates in the 2008 Logan City Council elections.

Thankyou to those who made this possible, who shall go unnamed with the exception of Lin at Cedar Grove View.

This information comes with the following precautions:

1. This is not going to be completely accurate. Please e-mail corrections to stuart.fenech@gmail.com

2. I have consciously decided to not post certain information. Information on when a person has handed out for a party is omitted, as it is patchy at best. There are a couple of cases where I know people are friends of people, but again, this information is patchy. I have also removed the "nut" label from a couple of deserving candidates (the best individual I know of is running in Division 4).

3. Logan City Council candidates, irrespective of political affiliation, will be elected as independents and not constrained by party platforms. Political affiliations are only useful as an indication of where the political ideology of a candidate is positioned. For the most part, the personal characteristics of the candidates are more important than the colours.

Did you watch Lateline on Wed night? C. caught some dick from the Australian Christian Lobby making up statistics about gay marriage. I've posted about it on my blog.
 
May I borrow your comment space to do a little bit of Google directing? Thanks.

Jim Wallace from the Australian Christian Lobby is a liar.

There, I feel much better now.
 
I don't get it, is Neridah mad because this bloke is doing just what every government does, twist statistics to suit the occasion, or just make them up, or is it because it's about gays ?
 
Two wrongs don't make a right.

I think you'll find "Nerdiah" a consistent opponent of the misuse of statistics; not just ones about homosexuals.

To bring this around to be somewhat on topic... most Local Government candidates would do well to learn that two wrongs don't make a right---
 
Hey Harvey Wallbanger, do you know what a false dichotomy is? Or do you think it's okay to use fallacious logic because everyone else is doing it?

(... That comment operates on too many levels ;-) I crack me up)
 
Hey Nerdiah (sorry about the typo in the first post), i only posed a question, but whack a label on me if you want.

Its obvious the church (include all kinds of religeous get togethers and doctrines here) has its own interpretation of most things and it is left to indiduals to heed that way each denomination interperates it.

Is it right to do that? who cares, so long as it doesn't affect us right.

still I wonder was it the lie or was it the content of the lie .
 
Could we go any more off topic? :)
