Creating your AusPWW Code

--------------------------------------
Section 1
--------------------------------------
Write down a "i" and then choose one of the following which best describes
your Interest in politics:

* 9 ... I have been a candidate for election!
* 8 ... I videotape "Lateline" with Kerry O'Brien on the ABC quite
regularly.
* 7 ... I watch "Lateline" with Kerry O'Brien on the ABC quite
regularly.
* 5 ... I don't mind politics.
* 3 ... I find it incredibly boring when people try to drag politics
into conversations.
* 2 ... I'd rather quietly drown in my own vomit than talk politics.
* 1 ... I'd rather quietly drown the person talking politics in my own
vomit than talk politics.

If you responded between 1 and 3 to the above, you might like to add
"nZhZeZgZdZz" and finish up here.

Add an "n" and choose one of the following which best describes your
feelings on nationalisation:

* 9 ... All corporate assets should be nationalised in the hands of a
government which knows how best to allocate resources.
* 8 ... There should be no such thing as a "Big Business" that is not
government-owned, but, small co-operative ventures (small shopkeepers,
etc) should be allowed to flourish.
* 7 ... It is the role of government to regulate and control the
building of public infrastructure as well as the sound management of
the economy to ensure another 1929 or 1989 never again occurs.
* 5 ... Governments shouldn't give hand-outs to companies and they
should maintain standards on what businesses may and may not produce.
* 3 ... Governments should not participate at all in providing public
economic infrastructure, but, they should regulate those who do in a
system incorporating legislated standards and intentional tax-breaks.
* 2 ... Public sector spending should only be used "when the natives are
restless."
* 1 ... Adam Smith's Invisible Hand allocates resources best on the
basis of an equilibrium between demand and supply; governments owe it
to their people not to interfere with economic cycles. Business must
be totally free to do what it chooses!
* Z ... I don't give a stuff.

Add an "h" and pick one which describes your opinions on human rights,
gay/lesbian/bi issues and censorship:

* 9 ... Governments ought to ensure that people experience the most that
personal freedoms can offer, by force if necessary!
* 7 ... There should be advertising campaigns to criticise sexism,
prejudice against gays and lesbians, etc.
* 5 ... Governments have no business interfering with the activities of
others where people choose to participate in activities that only
involve willing participants in the process.
* 3 ... I agreed with Bob Menzies and Joe McCarthy and think that
anything "Un-American" should be as far away from gaining power as
possible, even if that means being extremely undemocratic to do it.
* 1 ... Governments must act with violent action to ensure The One True
Way is enforced!
* Z ... I couldn't care less.

Add an "e" and add whichever describes your opinion best with regard to the
environment:

* 9 ... I place myself in front of bulldozers in national parks!
* 8 ... I openly support environmental causes and donate to Green Peace.
* 6 ... I recycle my rubbish.
* 5 ... I'm seriously concerned about impacts on both the environment
and businesses but neither should get full preference in my opinion.
* 4 ... I don't bother recycling my rubbish because it's tedious!
* 2 ... I don't recycle because those environmentalists spike trees and
are irresponsible to others.
* 1 ... I help to call in the army to break up "environazi rallies!"
* Z ... Don't care!

Add a "g" and choose one which best describes your opinion on gender
politics:

* 9 ... I am in favour of "positive" discrimination to ensure women get
the best jobs.
* 7 ... I'm in favour of encouraging women to do their best to excell
with social programmes to redress the balance.
* 5 ... Choices and decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis,
and a person's gender should -never- come into decisions on everyday
life.
* 3 ... I'm in favour of encouraging men to do their best to excell with
social programmes to redress the balance..
* 1 ... I am in favour of "negative" discrimination to ensure men get
the best jobs
* Z ... Doesn't matter to me..

Add a "d" and choose out of the following whichever describes your opinion
on which is required the most to provide the better political system:

* Ed ... Enforced Democracy: Everyone is forced to vote, but, there is a
"none of the above" provision and entirely free elections.
* Rd ... Representational Democracy: Parties are represented in
government by number according to the percentages which they polled at
election time.
* Fp ... First-past-the-post Democracy: The party with the most votes
gets all the power to do what it wants.
* Me ... Meritocracy: To be able to vote, you need to have skills or
enough education to be able to make an "informed" decision.
* Dc ... Democratic Centralism: Issues decided once and agreed upon must
be executed with the least amount of debate at lower levels.
* Hm ... Heirarchy Model: Heirarchy based on communitarian/business
lines. Leadership is arbitrarily taken away or given on the basis of
merit, skill and negotiation within the heirarchy.
* Pb ... Pocket Burroughs: Votes should be allocated according to the
economic productivity of the citizen.
* Zz ... Why worry about the finer points? A politician always wins..

--------------------------------------
Section 2
--------------------------------------
Finally, after adding a space, choose three words only that describe your
politics (descending influence). Yes, you can use your own. No, you needn't
be silly by using the words "unicircumtranscontainmentarianalist" or
"xenoantidisestablishmentarianalisationist". Words should be treated as
case-sensitive (eg, a "Liberal" isn't the same as a "liberal"). Try to make
it short and sweet. Separate them with dashes.
