Christopher Pyne embodies that completely out of touch with reality politician that has sacrificed any IQ they had in the name of blind pragmatism.

Lol. I hope the Libs don't cut a swathe through the ABC. Particularly RN shows like Big Ideas and Phillip Adams' LNL. Howard tried.

My favourite Christopher Pyne moment is him (literally) jumping all over Anthony Albanese's back shouting "he's Deputy PM material!" to the assembled journalists on the night Gillard got dumped.

Someone in the comments made the valid point that Tchaikovsky wasn't much different. The Russians are still trying to brush his homosexuality under the rug. So give it a hundred years and (shudder) John Howard III will consider Sister Ray a milestone in high culture.

Labor doesn't have the guts to put in a woman as leader, not this decade. The Australian people ditched the witch and they ditched the Dudd. The only solution is for Labor to elect to the position an androgynous grey haired person who may or may not have already been in a Final Fantasy game.

That way, no media circus on misogyny and no tabloid campaign against perceived Dudds.

Australia is a better place.

I can only think of two androgynous Final Fantasy character's with Grey Hair. And one was Sephiroth but the other was Faris (who is a woman). I'm confused now.

Likely but he'll probably get a few changed as well. The Classification Board don't use precedent so two different reviews can lead to different outcomes even with the same content. Sometimes those outcomes are freaking bizarre like Atelier Totori Plus being the only Atelier game to get an R18+ while Atelier Meruru Plus didn't .

Stupid government, you don't need to repeal those laws for Andrew Bolt to suck you off. He's up for it regardless.

Sadly, it's not really a surprise.

Everything about the modern day Liberal Party and most Conservative parties is anti-intellectual. They operate by encouraging the under-educated mass to think that uninformed, created by media, opinion has more weight. It's a very effective way of getting elected, but only ends in pain for the country at whole.

A non-Australian told me that in a thread I made about it on the Escapist. One of the first things I did this morning was dig up that thread.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The government announced today that it will scrap the only protective mechanism for mothers in Australia against the sometimes misleading claims of formula companies. The Advisory Panel on the Marketing of Infant Formula (APMAIF) is among a raft of advisory panels to be abolished by the Abbott government. This panel oversees the MAIF Agreement, which monitors the marketing practices of formula companies.

Yay. We are cutting jobs and services. Austerity for all!

So. How do they get away with the complete media black out on asylum seekers?

Like... srsly.

I wonder if there is a human being anywhere who loves his/her job more than Scott Morrison. His whole manner creeps me the fuck out.

Something to look forward to:

"Candid four-part interview series with Kerry O'Brien revealing the forces that shaped Paul Keating's ambitions, and some of the inside stories from Australian political history."

Keating, starts 20:30 Tuesday ABC1.

When Australia refuses boats, it's sovereignty. When Indonesia refuses boats, it's a lack of cooperation.

Glad the people on board are now safe - as far as making land, anyway.

Only a truly horrific human being would take the immigration portfolio voluntarily in either Liberal or Labor.

But remember, Sri Lanka is a fine place to live and boat people are just economic refugees!

Hopefully Australia balls up and doesnt go to the meeting either.
