  1. we'll get another 3 years come next election

    well abbott's said he'll bring a gst increase to the next election, will australians vote for a regressive tax on literally everything?

    probably, they voted for the gst first time around


  2. the carbon tax was the downfall of the labour party

    no it wasn't, kevin rudd and joel fitzgibbon being true cunts was what bought the labor party down

    look at the polls, the carbon tax rates quite low on the care-o-meter of most australians, labor even got a resurgence in popularity mid term,


  3. doncha hate it when.......

    when.....

    actually nah, there's nothing to hate, because you've made your decisions, and you're destined to live with them

    it's going to take some time, but there's some badness down the line, not now , but when,

    when.......

  4. while i don't discount the effect of the murdoch press campaign in favour of the coalition, labor was a pretty fucking shit government. even now their all standing around sniffing their own arses,

    if they'd stop being a bunch of self absorbed wankers i'm sure they'd do pretty well, they did well enough to basically force the lnp to adopt most of their socially beneficial policies

    and fuck kevin rudd too.

  5. just a thought bubble,

    is there some generally accepted trichocereus (or even any cacti) lineage, or a common ancestor? i.e. like we can trace human evolution through homo erectus through to h. sapiens etc. is there a generally accepted ancestor of modern trichos like we see? or is this more or less impossible?

  6. some of my bridgesii are faster than all the others, but then again same clones have markedly different growth rates (i.e. ~30/40 cm compared to an inch or so, so go figure)

    i've marked them this year so i get to see which ones grow the most

  7. fucking hell what a joke

    A Liberal National government in Australia would adopt the opt-out UK approach to filtering the internet for all Australians.

    The policy comes less than 41 hours before polls open for voting in the federal election where the Coalition is currently expected to win. It is also almost a year after the Labor government abandoned its plans for mandatory internet filtering, and three years after the Coalition announced that it would not support a policy for mandatory internet filtering.

    The announcement, buried in an AU$10 million online safety policy published online today (PDF)announces that under a Tony Abbott government, Australians would have "adult content" filters installed on their phone services and fixed internet services unless they opt out.
