BRAD: IS THERE STILL AN OPPOSITION?
God damn it. I’m sick of my friggin dial up, where is this broadband revolution stopping at a station near me? I snapped a key board in half last week because my temper got the better of me.
Anyway post election, things are as intriging as ever and if you have abandoned Politic watchering much like a Tomagotchi craze you are a lighweight.
First of all, Liberal leadership. Turncoat will win it.
But do we even have an Opposition in this country anymore?
Suddenly the Liberals are Me-tooing something chronic.
Now they seem to be…
Pro-Republic
Pro-Saying Sorry
Anti-Work Choices
Next they will want to pull troops back from Iraq.
But I think on topics such as the Republic and saying sorry to the Aboriginals, two things I passioantely support, having bi-partisan support will really help the cause. It will deny the opportunity for narrow minded nationalistic xenophobic wankers to latch onto a major political force.
The only other thing more pathetic than the Liberals is the Queensland branch of the same party.
Today Kevin Rudd announces his Cabinet. I predict no big surprises. Maybe one or two casualties of which one might be Garrett. But there wont be any Crombet or Shorten, not this soon.
I tell you I am so happy with the Rudd administration so far. I’m down with Labor because of the ideology. I care about social issues greatly. And I applaud Kevin Rudd for giving his MPs work assignments to visit a public and private school in their electorates but also to visit homeless shelters and find out about turn away rates which are around 80-90%.
If Australia is such a rich and prosperous country why are there people living on the streets, why are people living in poverty even in houses and why is the average life span of an aboriginal so terribly shorter than that of the rest of the nation.
These things need to be fixed!
Well I’m off to play Super Mario Galaxy. I’ll check in again soon.
