Whew, almost fell asleep during that one. Lander isn't the most compelling speaker. Anyway, it's incredible how brainwashed the average Australian has been by the main stream media. People who probably couldn't find Venezuela on a map heard about this referendum to remove term limits and were generally disgusted. "He's going to be dictator for life", they shouted while overlooking the fact that in their own country, there is no term limit for their prime minister. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I agree with Danny Schechter's analysis ... this is what democracy is all about. Let the people vote! ... openly and fairly.
