For a number of reasons I will probably vote Labour. This is not only because of the Liberal&#8217;s Work Choices legislation, but also because of things such as the Copyright Amendment Act or 2006, certain aspects of Telecommunications Policy and certain aspects of the Australia-USA Free Trade Agreement. It is also related to the fact that I believe that good government requires a good opposition, and the best way to ensure that is to ensure that the opposeition is in governement periodically. <\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, I have a good friend who gave me a challenge. The challenge was to design a piece of clothing to support the Liberal Party &#8211; something that was all my own work. I was not permitted to copy it at all. How boring, but them there is the rules. The challenge was put in a way that I really did not have much choice but to accept. <\/p>\n<p>I came up with a number of designed &#8211; the remainder of which are already on this Web Site.

So I got thinking&#8230; What if there was some Liberal Party policy that Labour was able to copy without causing the Liberals any problems. <\/p>\n<p>And I found one &#8211; the Liberal Party &#8216;HOW TO VOTE&#8217; Card. Of course the example on the T-Shirt is a fake, but the concept is there. It contains a personal member to the leader of the Labour Party &#8211; STEAL THIS POLICY!
