The IPA's stated aims are to completely dismantle the government funded ABC broadcaster ( Murdoch is an IPA sponsor), abolish all forms of social security, pensions etc, ban unions and all benefits gained via unions over the decades, abolish all banking controls and "cut red tape" building regulations, ban the minimum wage and enforce minimum hour "contracts". the sell off of every single government funded entity to private business and so on.<br /><br />O'Neill is a fraud and it's a disgrace to even intimate he is a "Libertarian" when he surges between a Stalinist oppressor of free speech whilst hypocritically claiming to advocate for it and is more akin to the worst of the far right Nazis. <br /><br />He is so loathed in Australia where he frequently visits to appear at News Corp shindigs he has finally been dropped from the popular ABC "Q&A" current affairs program as boorish and a buffoon who no-one, whether they are from the left or right, can stand or even understand and on the basis that any IPA representative is a blatant hypocrite by appearing on an entity which they want dissolved.<br /><br />And tabloids like The Australian who give O'Neill a regular column wonder why they are gradually going down the tube.Sam Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294364000748130992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-61190709608042108522017-06-17T14:26:58.842+01:002017-06-17T14:26:58.842+01:00@Nigel Stapley

An unfortunate metaphor, but this time people have to strike whilst the iron is hot.<br /><br />O'Neill might like to consider that its very often wrong-headed political decisions that lead to disasters like Grenfell so an appropriate response by those affected is to reach for politics to fight those decisions and the politicians who, usually for financial gain of themselves and their support base, make them. Lets not forget how many Tory MPs who rejected more stringent safety measures/conditions in rented accommodation are themselves private landlords.AndyCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-57355851841624475252017-06-17T11:53:27.033+01:002017-06-17T11:53:27.033+01:00So many echoes of the immediate blame shifting and...So many echoes of the immediate blame shifting and obfuscation we witnessed at Hillsborough.
