The Australian Zeitgeist Tracking Thread

one gulpilil, one ngoombujarra

they don't really look *that* much alike either

also: nobody gives a fuck whether chrissie fucking swan might go back to tv, or indeed anything about her baby obsessed irrelevance

(was spurred on by 'related story' stuff at bottom)

I was genuinely mystified as to who she was when someone was posting about her on FB the other day. Like, I know I play the "what popular TV, me?" card over-ham a lot, but this was f'real, I was like, wow there is some loop I am way out of" - but it appeaers all shes been on is daytime TV, and FM radio, which'd explain it.

and big brother 3 iirc

EXCLUSIVE: i, haitch, have also not ruled out a return to TV

yay!

This implies TV has had you before! I DEMAND YTUBEZ

oh i'd imagine it's not on any tube - think my head was on behind brad wiggins during an interview after last stage of 2009 sun tour

I was on the Today Show once as a kid!

I was on the Beyond 2000 awards

i hosted a popular gameshow for several years and until my recent passing was in several local comedy shows on sbs

no, wait..

I was like TONY BARBER IS DEAD!?

goddamit why there gotta be pedos and sex pests with similar names to me

john faine on the wireless before on the greg ham tip, "we'll talk about a man who was responsible for songs that were part of the aussie vernacular", it's obviously awful what's happened to him but raking over someone's depression and alcoholism and bigging him up as a genius for playing on two big hits (one basically a novelty) is seriously NAGL

australian media, amirite

John Faine is spectacularly annoying I have come to realise, and Im a fan of left wing talk radio. But geez he is sanctimonious. And he always takes over ppls stories and tells his own! Fuckin.

He ran a guest lecture in my media degree in the '90s and was really impressive cf. the smug jock he is now.

Newton goin' ham. AGAIN. Second or third time in a week now?

Wait no, theyre just re-reporting the same incident a week later just to confuse me.

i idly wondered the other day if 'going ham' might take on a new meaning in the light of the greg ham thing but it was decided by all that it might be "too soon"

loolllll

Have they said what did for him, yet? Seemed like an OD on armchair guess.

that would take quite a lot of armchair

Baha :) That will teach me for dashing of a gramatically shite post before work.

also it does indeed look like bert jr was up to his old trix again

Yeah I misread too, this *is* second time since he's been in Miami. As well as the current court action here for earlier shenaigans. Poor bastard. He's clearly p ill.

At least he's taking the appropriate steps to deal with it.

official interest rate cut 50 basis points to 3.75%

important, apparently

now suddenly i can afford a $650k loan for a 2br flat

you go girl

fuck this country

pyne really is the biggest creep in politics

^^^^

he really is a massive [REDACTED]

I have to admit I really havent been paying this Slipper crap any attention. Politician gets accused of grubby tactics/cheating/spending govt money, news at 11. Who cares anymore, they all do it.

this one has added 'frission du gaylord', as the french should say

loll

also his disgracing removes the goverment's balance of power, that's a minor thing that probably won't affect the country in any way though, nbd who cares

well, there is that
