Hi Tom,
I will survive without the transcript or audio. I do not need to prove anything – you have by default proven the accuracy of what passed between us.
My comments did not need clarification / for anyone’s ‘’benefit.’’
However you have also perhaps have shown to any political animal that one day you may feel ensconsed / secure enough in your Fairfax media job to do proper interviews.
  1. To ask some real questions from politicians – that is the nature of professional interviews.
  2. Allow callers to speak without feeling the neurosis about offending the dearie politicians on the left.
  3. And not allow pollies to unilaterally refuse to answer questions / need protection from you or callers. Indeed – that was the condition of the interview that there were no questions! Why agree to give Labor free air time if they do not allow themselves to be questioned – other than you ‘motherhood’ bleatings.
Furthermore your so called ‘summary for benefit of listeners’ bore no relationship to what I had said to the moment that you cut me off. Indeed – why were you in such a hurry to silence me?
I was not being offensive, even remotely.
Indeed – your motivations – to ensure JD [ J’accuse Dreyfus] will come back for future interviews and will be protected from answering any questions – is obvious to all reading my blog.
I respectfully advise – that Derryn Hinch would not have done this.
He and I have had the odd excellent debate.
We still do not agree on compulsory voting.......
################################################
To our eyes the USA has a lot of absolute fanatics in positions of power by being elected by fanatical voters with a lot in the middle not bothering to vote at all.

This is how Australia keeps fanatics out of Federal politics.
Australia became less polarised because it introduced political measures that made it difficult for extremists to gain political representation. Compulsory voting was one such measure. In America, voluntary voting means that the extremists are great assets to a political campaign. It is the extremists that get out to vote, and convince others to vote as well. To keep the extremists happy, the American political parties must pander to their interests, and this can result in a polarised society. In Australia; however, the extremists are not really important at all. The political party that they have chosen can simply take them for granted and ignore them. The party can then devote its resources on the swinging voters that will decide the election. As a consequence, it is the moderates from the middle-ground that need to be kept happy. Consequently, both parties position themselves as moderates.
Preferential voting is another innovation that keeps extremists out of Australian parliament. The system forces voters to rank candidates in order of preference. When the ballots are collectively tallied, it is the candidate that is the least hated, rather than most liked, that represents the people. In the 1990s, the system kept the extremist Pauline Hanson out of parliament even though she won the most votes in her electorate.

Hi Geoff
I wasn't trying to be disingenuous - I was just struggling to understand your point!
As a result, I tried to summarise it for the benefit of listeners.
You may be pleased to know that liberal MP Josh Frydenburg came on the show a week ago to talk about the ALP's confused attitude towards Israel.
Regards
Tom
