Hi,

        Thanks for your email.

        Mary and I do not have party lines. We do have party good times.

       I would think that our Laws to protect our borders are hard enough. However, we need to do some work overseas with the Indonesian, Malaysian and Indian Goverments. 

       We know nothing about the internet filter.

       The aim is to cut greenhouse gases not make them more expensive.

       Marriage of gay couples is up to them and their celebrant.

       Mary and I are tired of party politics. We are not interested in the balance of power and we will not make deals. When elected we will introduce Private Member Bills, e.g. break up the oil cartels, so all Australians can see which politicians are willing to help Australia go forward and which ones take orders from somewhere else. If the parties do not change next election there will be more independents.

      I have attached our policies and if you think them worthwhile send them on. I can assure you if you delete them nothing bad will happen to you.

      Thanks again Paul Spencer

PS If you want to know where our preferences are going drop us a line.
