The Australian Zeitgeist Tracking Thread

always

Fucking Age headline clickbait:

Headline: Big boom as earthquake strikes Melbourne's east.

Immediately in body of article:

Geoscience Australia spokesman Steven Tatham said the earthquake was quite small, and would probably not have been noticed in rural areas.

WELL WHICH WAS IT.

big booming post

can't wait to pay for access to the same content

shartgeist morelike, amirite

stealing that

unhinging week begins

alp primary down to 29 in newspoll (lnp 45, greens 9)

allowing for margin of error i calculate that the alp is a pancake

gillard 33 (-2) abbott 45 (+2)

how anything ever could possibly outpoll tony abbott continues to astound me, and yet here we are

but hey, when labor pulls in 26 votes nationwide in september at least the unions won't be weakened amirite

them fuckers is fucked. if the alternative wasn't so alarming, it would be really satisfying seeing their ineptittude biting them in the arse

I rather like that dress.

Is it true that JG is knitting for the royal baby? FFS.

It was interesting Fairfax pulled a bit of an "erm, sorry" post-editorial after their "STEP DOWN JULIA WHERES YER POLICIES" BS one. I mean, hello, we dont know anyones polices THANKS TO YOU MSM IDJITS.

Seriously now. What do I read? Clearly none of the MSM rags is worth bothering with. Graun's AU division? Crikey? (ugh paywalls).

crikey is good. subscribe and get goodies included!

crikey is too expensive

fuck knitting a hat

best

Graunad will be the only place without a pay wall soon.

If you don't consider enduring fucken awful comment is free articles ("it is time that Tony Abbott went on Q&A!") as payment, that is.

oh wow Toby Arnott telling female journo from The Grauniad to "settle down" at a pie factory

said piemakers put peas in their so-called 'pasties', fucking 'ell

Does anyone know why Australian journos are so cagey about the sexuality of politicians? Not that I'm asking for a series of "X is gay" stories, but there are a number of MPs/Senators/former PMs/etc that are widely known to be gay, though married with kids, but nobody ever says anything about it. Is being labelled gay something you can sue over in this country? It all seems weird. Even Alan Jones had to be outed by Chopper Reed.

is there a single age comment thread that doesn't have "sarajane" commenting on it

lol I noticed that as well. there's a few regulars but she's like a rash. her and that irritating feller from america whos handle i forget right now. something NY?

Speaking of that stinkrag, so much for their paywall, all you have to do to disable it is go into private browsing mode in FF and it works again, heh. Not that its worth bothering anymore tbqf

Believe it or not, I have better things to do (although not much better, obvs).
