Communists

"This communism lark isn't so bad when you're the communist, viva la revolucion!"

Communism is bad because the government can take your property whenever it wants. Liberals hate communists for this very reason, they revere property rights. However what they mean is property rights for certain classes of people.

The Northern Territory News has reported that traditional owners might lose their absolute rights to veto development projects on their land, under the proposed reforms to the Aboriginal Land Rights Act.

It said territory and federal governments would be allowed to compulsorily acquire land if traditional owners "unreasonably refused" an application for a private lease.

Senator Brown said he could not believe the government was considering doing this in this day and age.

"I can't think of a greater insult to Australia as a nation than to further deprive the first Australians of their right to make decisions about their land," he told reporters.

Believe it Bob, evidently communism isn't dead. The only point of difference John Howard and other Marxists have is whose property they're allowed to sieze and give to other people for the 'common good'. Of course one day when the government gives itself the right to take our land and give it to whoever made the biggest campaign donation we'll wish we'd done something about it now.
