Whoever wins, we all win ?
IF Gillard gets up, I will laugh just because of the ridiculous of it all, including all the media bullshit etc etc.
Not quite.
(NBN)
Not quite.
(NBN)
Pretty sure the coalition is sticking with a FTTN policy as opposed to the current FTTH. They might not "dismantle" it as such but it will be heavily cut back from the original plan.

One of the worst things about Abbott taking over is that he made Turnbull his pitbull for attacking the NBN. Turnbull is a business man, so privately he probably thinks it's an great idea and will help to future prood Australia, but he has to follow the party.
Luckily we do seem to be so deep in to the NBN that dismantling it from this point would be a huge waste of time and money.
Worst the Libs can do is make it FTTN, which would just delay the eventual FTTH by a 5-10 years.

Once he got away with the lie about never supporting the carbon tax, he realised he could say whatever the fuck he wanted and just went all out.
Eh, I think this is just wishful thinking. Turnbull is a free market man above all else. Pretty sure the notion of a big expensive government project to provide everyone with fast internet is completely counter to his ideology.

But he (Turnbull) was the chairman of OzEmail! He loves the internets
edit: whoa, while checking that Turnbull was indeed the chairman and wasn't in another position, I found this nugget on wiki
damn son, knew he was rich but not mega rich.
OzEmail was my isp back in the good ol' 56k days

So my bloody parents are putting pressure on me to get rid of some of my useless (read: awesome) stuff I've compiled over the years.
Chief among this is a huge box of sweet Robotech toys.
I have no idea what this stuff is worth these days, so if anyone is potentially interested in taking them off my hands for a very reasonable price let me know!

Nope, the one we deserve 
I just want somewhere I can pass out. And maybe vomit in peace.
Oh shit, it's full of happy angry old people shouting sexist comments
:/
They can go consult on bullshit for Newman!
Basically my feel, yeah.
My main angst comes from what the Coalition have gotten up to down here in VIC since taking the state. Feels bad man :/I'm not Abbott's biggest fan, but I feel like a Coalition government would be 100x better.
I -might- be bias. Might.
Fudgepackets, I really should organise this.

I don't think most people want any of these fucking clowns as PM. That goes for both parties!

Turbull looks good compared to Abbott but has his own share of issues ('we don't need any form of media regulation, the aggrieved parties are free to launch legal action' as if everyone has the money to take on giant corporations).
I also still cannot for the life of me comprehend the massive hate-on some people have for Gillard.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=J1Fsaj5nT6Q Even going down she knows what to say which as been the whole problem with the Gillard Experiement. MPs Backstabbed Rudd due to Gillard's high performance during Question Time, they see her being able to clearly deliver a message in Question Time so surely putting her in the PM chair would mean the same thing right?
WRONG! Gillards press appearances have been super conservative and very unlike the way she talks in Question Time.

Blame script writers. Well, don't blame them, but the dudes who tell them the kind of line to tow.

Yeah alright. When I get a chance I'll post some.
I told them they could throw out my 90's Hyper magazines over my cold dead body. Those are my nostalgia portals.

I'd say these are all factors to varying degrees to different people:
People still can't get over the initial way she got the leadership. You still hear people saying "We didn't vote for her as PM!", well no shit you don't vote for any PM. There seems to be a continuing ignorance of our political system (or unwillingness to accept the way it operates).
She's a woman.
Putting forward controversial things like the carbon tax and selling them badly. Why did they think it was a good idea to try and rush through media regulation reforms now for god's sake? That's just one more example of the poor performances of the government which are much easier for people to remember than the good it has done.
Rose-tinted glasses towards Rudd's time as leader. And the public got the best side of him, didn't have to deal with him being a total dick like his caucus did.
Rudd is the most self-righteous and smug person I've ever seen in politics. I have no idea how he has such a good public reputation. Practically everything we heard about him was he's a huge knob and practically made it impossible for the government to function because of his leadership style. And this is coming from his own party!

People complain about Gillard's nasal monotone but Rudd is just as bad to me. He's boring as bat shit.

Looking at the betting odds and the general mood, The smug sack of shit probably has it this time. With people like Kevin, a backstab will never be forgotten.
I think he's quite good to listen to. I do notice that he has a quirk of asking himself a question then answering it, which actually does a decent job of changing the topic and leads to him running the conversation. Anyways Gillard sounds like a bogan, not very good.
I don't really care how they talk. Hearing question time today just affirmed the fact that barely anyone in either party can properly speak. The two best speakers are clearly Gillard and Abbott. Gillard's performance was undercut by the fact she was clearly at breaking point and was nervous as hell.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
:S
No games yet. Waiting for Sony to fix my botched PS+ code. As it's second hand (by like, one day) I can't use the Liberation code as it's tied to another account, but meh. New paperweight to cover the stacks my Wii U cannot.

That would be amazing. Combine that with an early election (get it done quicker) and I'll be happy.
If not, this shit is going to keep dragging on.

I cannot in good faith cast my vote to Abbot even if the coalition would, in theory, provide a more stable economy and work environment for Australia. I cannot give my vote to a misogynistic, racist, paranoid piece of human trash. Not without hating myself in the morning, and I do plenty of that as it is.
Awesome purchase man! See you in the Vita thread.

Dude, he has wife and 3 daughters. He loves women.
That's a big if. If Abbott sticks to his pledge for a budget surplus every year amid falling commodities prices, he's going to be cutting spending everywhere and causing unemployment by himself. Basically the European "austerity measures" mistake.
