A systematic rebuttal of the myths about asylum seekers Nicely short and simple. (Apparently the comments are terrible, though)

Do not vote the Greens, Australian Election 2010 A "Christian" ad so effective in getting across the message of "If you aren't a dogmatic theocratic Christian vote Green" that I have to wonder if it's actually a viral marketing ploy by the Greens. Note that no actual "pro-Christian" alternatives are named, not even on their website, and the Liberals aren't even mentioned explicitly. In general I find that any fundamentalist religious rhetoric which isn't either innocuous or scary and depressing is fake. But I could be wrong!

the comment section of that article is heartening.

that video does seem to be a sort of checklist about why you should vote for the greens. it's probably legit, though. in order to register a .com.au domain name, you have to provide evidence that you're a business in australia (yours ABN at least) and your domain name has to relate somehow to that business. additionally, they actively solicit donations for their campaign. i don't think any party would be that dodgy.
