sooo sick of these you're-too-fat-to-be-normal shows

Rudd was actually quite good but had the misfortune of leading a party full of self-interested hacks (check out Simon Crean's rant today as an example).

Anyway, we're all fucked.

But I should say that Rudd's tea is quite good!!

Rudd started the internet filter, he can go to hell.

I'm still convinced that was more of a thing to pretend they care about " good morals" to those who still care about that/distract Conroy from anything important rather than any actual censorship.

Or more succinctly: giving the Catholic branch of the ALP a "win" without doing so.

not good enough

Well, it's a cautionary tale on why the ALP needs be reformed pretty sharply if it is to have any sort of future, but I'm still able to access hardcore pornography think pieces on progressive politics and US TV shows, so I'm still only slightly offended by it all.

alp needs the world's biggest kick up the arse (with john faulkner on vocals)

after the howard era they could have pulled in 15 years quite comfortably, but no

Never underestimate this current crop of self-serving dickheads.

cunce, the lot of them

so fucking devastated

even the monthly is doing regular anti-alp articles, that's how shit they are

By the way, it's 2012 and the Queen is still the fucking head of state, the Union Jack is still on the flag, indigenous people are still marginalized and you can't have a gay marriage, so a pox on the ALP's house.

At least Swanny has done a half-decent job on the economy (except that not passing the original mining tax is really going to bite us on the arse later on).

Mmmm I think that underestimates the flag-as-cape young voting dickhead mob.

Railing against Labor over the filter is fine because it was a RONG policy, but saying 'therefore I'm voting for the bigots' is well out of order, obviously. Problem is, you can't choose the not-bigot party because there isn't one.

Yesterday Abbott announced an indigenous ~thing~ that on paper looks reasonably sympathetic and even reconciliatory. I doubt it actually is, but my point is that Labor is now such a fucking duff party that Abbott can move into Gillard's social policy holes and just clean up. If he allows same-sex marriage to proceed, that's his last social policy manacle discarded and he will romp it in next year, guaranteed.

I mean I know carbon tax etc etc, he can make all the promises he likes on that front but it's already in so

Boss has given me an irritatingly complex and PITA new task to have to do every month and Im not sure I'm gonna get it right and its a report the Big Boss will be reviewing which is making me feel weird because I have to put the data in manually which means it isnt guaranteed to be accurate and AAAAAARGH.

also call me an idiot but I would not be surprised if her anti-marriage stance is the tipping point within caucus

btw today's grattan put the focus on all the labor mps who are watching their own seats wither by her hand

i like to think that article is a metaphor for grattan's own worries that l. tingle in the afr is making her look totes irrelevant
