and i think that labor could actually win this one if they don't shoot themselves in the foot. while rudd is a smug bastard, he seems prime ministerial enough.

if you're not going to be in the country you need to do a postal vote, to avoid getting fined.

lots of people choose to not enrol, so they don't have to vote and don't get fined.

I know, his eyelashes were ridiculously long for an earthworm. Ew.

That 'fruit rocket' thing on the Safeway ad is pretty phallic too. Maybe I'm just being immature with that.

^^^You girls are just fixated with the cawk.

I can't claim to be an expert, but I can offer my personal perspective.

Until I am relatively wealthy, I can't really benefit from policies which encourage accumulated personal debt/wealth. Furthermore, under the incumbent government, my value as intellectual capital is null and void. I can not receive government assistance to study (and better myself and my contribution to the economy) as I am not considered technically 'independent'. At 26 years of age, I would be 'independent' if I lived with my parents, but am not so as a married adult. Clearly, John Howard doesn't believe my wife needs my financial contributions.

I find no relevance in policies which go further than these to protect the aged and infirm (who have no value to my world) than they do to ensure that my children would grow up in a country stabilised by sensible social planning. The continued preference shown for trades over tertiary education, militarism over socialism, and the past over the future means that no matter which way I vote, it ultimately could never, ever be for a Prime Minister who devalues my place in society as expertly as John Howard. Sack the little cunt.

have you not earnt $18,000 in a year before?

or is it something to do with being married.

if i could give future uni students any advice at all, i'd tell them to take a year off after school and work full time, earn $18 000 and therefore earn your independence.

I was a fully functioning member of society. I've exceeded $18 000 loooong ago. It's all because I'm married. I'm independent except for the fact that I went and got married and now contribute to two people's lives instead of just my own. Yet living at my parents (at nearly 27) would qualify me.

^ my boyfriend and I had a discussion about being classified as Independent for YA purposes - at a time when you need financial assistance most (while studying) you're forced to earn in excess of 17k to prove that you qualify for a handout. Earned 15k? too bad, fuck off and earn some more money, you snivelling shit.

They really need to re-jig the whole university/money situation. I was undertaking a fulltime study load (20+hrs a week) and out of work earlier this year, but was refused YA because my study load came from two seperate courses. I was shoved onto the dole, only to have some fuckwit tell me what I could have told them at the beginning - that I can't be on the dole because I'm a student. So, I fell through the cracks.

Also, the housing affordability/rental crisis is high on my list of things to fix NOW. Whoever has the best policies in regards to these things will win my vote, I suppose.

Failing that, the best looking candiate will get it. Yeah, I'm superficial even when it comes to serious election bidness.

HE'S GONE. JOHN HOWARD IS GONE. He's conceded and Kevin Rudd has claimed victory. He still may even be voted out of parliament altogether if Maxine McKew gets up in Bennelong, only the second time a sitting Prime Minister has lost his seat in Australia.

A 5.3% (or thereabouts) swing against the coalition looks like giving the Labor Party a 22 seat majority in the House of Reps, with hopefully the Greens holding the balance of power in the Senate, but most likely the Coalition will hold it.

Fucking Brilliant



Get a dog up ya.

WTF was with channel 7's coverage? Overly dramatic, much?

OUR VERDICT: KNIFE EDGE!!
IT'S A RUDDSLIDE!!

Hosted by those idiots from Sunrise? Even Anna Coren got a look in - I'm surprised Sonia Kruger didn't host a segment.

My boyfriend loved the fact that there was some guy called Rodney Cocks (Cox?) in the mix.

Overall I'm happy.

[edit] Bert's Family Feud
In 2006, Newton returned to the Nine Network and hosted Bert's Family Feud, a revised version of Family Feud for 2006 and some of 2007, until the show was cancelled on May 8, 2007.
