Day 13 
“In Australia, in a #democracy, you make your #arguments with #words, not #weapons,” he told Sunrise.
“If people want to come up to us and have a chat, they can.”
“If they don’t like us, then they might mumble something under their breath or cross the road – you never want to see the sorts of threats of #physical #violence happen, like we’ve seen #overseas.” — Member for #Blaxland
Does Australia and Australians need violence for political change? NO, thats why we vote.
Both major Political parties have “Pay to meet the Politician” programs for the largest bidders, so saying the public can chat to any Politician, especially serving members is unrealistic & patronising.
