Facebook: Making me realise I know too many shit people

This one is really straightforward. It’s really easy for me to be unimpressed.

If you’re friends with Steve price either physically or ether-eally (GET IT IT’S A NETWORKING JOKE I’M A LAUGH RIOT) I hope you die and I want you to die.
Seriously, the man is about as intelligent and conversant as tertiary syphilis without the [...]

Why it’d be unwise to write off the new Government.

So it happened, we all expected it to happen and it happened. The Ruddslide is in; the victory is absolute and the carrion are fighting over the carcass of Bennelong. Kevin Rudd is the new Prime Minister-Elect of Australia.
Admittedly he hasn’t taken office yet, but the trains are still running the sky, as of yet, [...]

After the win: It’s hypocrisy as usual for the Labor party

Not 48 hours since the polls closed on a federal election where the ALP was going ape shit over the prospect of an elected official resigning their post half way through their term, the Chief Minister from the Northern Territory has decided to resign for reasons she refuses to reveal. All I can say [...]

71.5% of this post is about trade unionists

After 11½ years on top, the two architects of Australia’s recent prosperity have been defeated by a campaign composed entirely of sound bytes, snazzy logos and blatant lies about the Coalition’s IR agenda. Many say that Howard and Costello’s legacies will be framed by the events of the last 48 hours. For my part, I [...]

Ah, I’m conflicted.

It’s easy to criticise trivial/absurd/meaningless reasons for supporting a given party or candidate, until you realise your own reasons happen to fit into one or more of those categories. At least sometimes.
One of the notable outcomes of the election is the strong support for the Liberal party in WA. They didn’t lose a seat, and [...]

Election Debrief 02-A: I see the future

Against my better judgement, it seems a lot of Australians have voted in favour of Labor in this election.
By which I mean to say that my judgement is better than a lot of Australians, and that some (presumably large) proportion of those same Australians cast votes contrary to the requirements for action based on my [...]

Election Debrief 01-A

Today I sprung from my bed at the crack of half-past midday, so eager to perform my mandatory civil service that I didn’t even have time to gather the will to shower. Today was indeed the day to join the thronging hordes as I ventured out in the company of my whole family, something we [...]

Hey hey hey – Kevin fades away.

Hah! What a wild ride. And the surprise ending really blew me. Away. I think we can all agree that this outcome was a combined effort, thanks not only to the dazzling complacency of the reigning Liberal champs but to the star power of Peter “Gagging on Sperm©” Garret and Maxtreme McLews-Elections… Of course, let’s [...]
