Wayne commented on David Nicholls's question: “With respect, Peter, I read and gave my opinion on the question precisley! Just what do you imagine chaplains "having access to young children in our public schools" means?? In my opinion this is a total beat-up, it is pointless. Free thought = free speech. It did you no harm, and it did me no harm. Look at the comment just after mine.... How silly, how gutless. I had a "creepy" maths teacher who tried to strike up conversations, I'm certain you had some too, we all did. Are you crippled by that, or did you learn? People in this thread seem...”
Wayne commented on David Nicholls's question: “What a pointless and prejudiced question. You are perfectly free to go to schools that let you take your children out of such classes, if you object so much. With that fact alone, this question is pointless. You are equally free to send your kids to a religious school. I do not attend any church, and neither do my kids. We nevertheless appreciated learning obout religions in those classes, there is nothing wrong with learning about humanities. Quite the opposite - the prejudice and arrogance at the heart of this question just shows you up as...”
Wayne commented on David's question: “And theIr sheer hypocrisy in this is breathtaking! ”
Wayne commented on David's question: “I am dismayed this question even needs to be asked, and I admit I had no idea this disgrace had even occurred. Like the large majority of voters I was very unhappy with this governments policies. But now I am truly saddened to admit i am genuinely ashamed of this government. In the past I have voted for Labor. I cannot imagine voting for them again, they have lurched so far left, I cannot believe it.”
Wayne commented on Peter's question: “Fair question, I'm in the same boat, no compensation. But I was never wealthy enough to install solar panels. But you won't get an honest answer. Many have the false impression about the carbon tax is that it will reduce emissions. It won't, they will continue to go up. We will send billions overseas to pay other countries to reduce theirs instead. A stupid and childish assumption that of course has not, and can not, happen. There are so many failures in logic in this tax, and all the "models" on which it is based, it is a total waste of time...”
Wayne commented on Mike's question: “Frightened of free speech mate? Some believe that ALL speech IS the "public debate" to which you refer. You propose banning speech that you define as crap, inflammatory or threatening in some way? Ha... no tell you what, I'll define it. There. Feeling comfortable? No, I'm not either. This Labor/Green mob in Canberra have lurched way too far left,out to where the totalitarian control freaks live (on any side of politics). They are well down the road to engineering state censorship of the most dangerous kind as we know. But remember, in a...”
Wayne commented on Ricky 's question: “I don't see an urgent need to change the entire school funding model. What we have has worked for a long time. Gonski made some good points, especially about how the best performing systems are NOT rolling in cash. Quite the contrary in some cases. But you have to admit, the Gonski review was deliberately killed by Fed Labor the moment they said it all depended on the states finding half the extra billions. States don't have it, it's that simple, and everyone knows it. Garret and Labor just looked ridiculous claiming it was being "urgently...”
Wayne commented on stuart's question: “I'm not sure if she has been asked this one, in this way, yet. Certainly been asked many times about the simple, clear and direct lie she and Labor told in the last weeks of the campaign. But you're right, the PM just gives non-answers of such increadible rose coloured spin and deliberately goes off on tangents of complexity, even she looks confused and bewildered.”
Wayne commented on Stephen 's question: “Why do you think it's stupid? It's a perfectly reasonable and rational question. The GST is not levied on exports precisely for competitive reasons. What makes the Carbon Tax any different? Not one single place on earth is being taxed even half as much (most not at all), let alone applying it as broadly, as we are here.”

Wayne commented on Paul's question: “So, animals passing wind cause accelarated and abnormal climate change eh? Then pardon me after last weeks vegan Indian curry - I think it melted a glacier!”
Wayne commented on Matilda's question: “Hmmmm this one is a bit concerning. How do you expect to "stabilize" an entire population? I assume you mean, limiting births and banning immigration, to balance out with deaths..? How? And in context of this question, define "sustainable level". What number is that level? todays? tomorrows? or worse, yesterday? It sounds like you imagine the world is ending....”
Wayne commented on CON's question: “One of the stupidest things in this tax scheme, is that most of our tax money will be paid overseas, to other countries who will, supposedly, reduce their emissions far more than we will, (on top of their own reductions of course), and they count that as Aussie reductions...???. It's just irrational thinking. Whatever happened to the age of reason? ”
