    i believe adam won.. oh wait... that was the other contest tonight.

    anyways it seems labor will drive the knife deeper into the belly of the environment and the libs as usual are going the xenophobic route. its like asking 2 guilty looking children who did it.


    i dont listen at all to the government
    i just said no do you hear
    i dont listen at all to the government
    the government has got to go
    theyre getting in the way of

    right now we can end the game theyre playing
    they wont make it better
    now or ever

    ah, nice to see the Cog lyrics posted here :D Too bad they were more aimed at the last government then the current one.
    pretty rubbish debate really, nothing new, just the same old shit, the same old slogans, no real answers, and dare i say it, no real difference will be made out of it to the swinging voters.

    i know COG are pissed with this government too. afterall a politician is a politician and the status quo will be maintained even at the expense of the people. the majority of people just dont care until it affects them direxctly and by then its too late and they wonder how it happened. and if one more person tells me voting is my democratic right im gonna scream.


    LOOK RIGHT
    THINK LEFT
    hear my name

    voting is your democratic right ;) :P
    I know my House of Reps vote will count for nothing, but i will place it anyway. The right wing racist prick that holds the seat holds it by 7 % and that is unlikely to change.

    My senate vote will make more difference, and i will vote green inthe senate. To steal the democrats line, they will keep the bastards honest. As long as that Steve Fielding prick does not get back in :lol:

    and i should be thankful cause some people around the world dont get to vote. 8-)

    last election labor won my seat with 68% of the vote with a 5% swing. its like living in the wastelands. i really should move to one of those swinging gay seats.

    so i just read the transcript, and didn't think either of them were overly impressive. that was fair dinkum pathetic.

    and to all the bloggers and comment leavers who have decided that Australian politics is their fake area of expertise today, it's labor dammit, not labour.

    You know what shits me the most about elections.....the amount of stuff they print that most of us aren't going to read anyway. I have a relative in the printing industry and OMG it is rediculous just how much they spend on advertising with an upcomming election. They are all banging on the environmental bandwagon, yet they all waste a phenomenal amount of resources on print. Yes it keeps my dad in a job, but there are other customers too.
    Seriously, how about they do what my sons school does with thier school newsletter.......online!! :idea:

    She is a sneaky snake.
    She said she will never be a PM, she lied.
    She was part of the Rudd cabinet that wasted money on shit then had the audacity to stab Rudd.
    She talks like she knows what families go through yet she has no family of her own.
    And her policies are not real policies.

    Abott at least comes across as fair dinkum.
    I'm not a labor fan after the shit they have given the local division I reside in.
    I am in a labor safe seat, Liberals have never been in power here and my suburb is a dump.
