okey dokey

i should have read it tonight, instead of getting lost in ancient clusterfucks

gillard introduces a carbon scheme and abbott wants her sacked

one of his own is responsible for an utterly revolting sexist 'joke' and he's all 'what, it's fine'

and he refers to it as "scatological", which baffled me because there was no mention of poo ... does he even know what that word means!?

I was just having this argt with mum on weekend. she was all "he really isnt the evil sexist horror everyone makes him out to be, hes a good man, he has women all around him in cabinet and life bla bla"... I was like "what the fact he's a hard-right catholic doesnt bother you as leader of the country?" *&^&*^

don't make me google 'abbott scatological'

shitfinger abbott

Even though it means getting an Abbott govt, pleased the backlash seems likely to take Chris Bowen's seat away. What must it be like to sell your soul to get the votes of the racist rednecks, and then find out they don't even want to buy it?

^^ yes this

bowen will forever pay for his devil's advocate behaviour as immigration minister, even just as a human being with an unforgiving conscience

tbf i don't know what's worse, bowen withholding his values to prosecute a revolting ideology or morrison saying exactly what he thinks

bowen will forever look like a manchild as well

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.

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
