election (australia)

[hitmonlee]

you enrolled?

thoughts?

totally sick of election ads

at least it will put the xmas ads off for a bit, hey?

[Yetra Flam]

i was concerned that i'm not enrolled at the right address and i'll get fined or something, but it's november 24th right? i won't be in the country anymore.
can i still get in trouble for that? it's too late for me to enrol now anyway.

[Yetra Flam]

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.

[paul jones]

I really believe that Russell Coight would make an excellent leader

[icy manipulator]

if Labor gets in, the guy who lives behind my parents will have control over australia's budget. weird

[Yetra Flam]

it's all about the pulp mill baby.

[Yetra Flam]

who watched the debate last night?!!! oh god yes exciting.

at one point they were arguing over who was more economically more conservative. love it. it's like choosing between a bucket of shit and a bucket of vomit.

[hitmonlee]

only during the ads on idol, and i mostly watched the worm.

i was hell pissed at my housemates for wanting to watch it and sending me to my room.

as if there was going to be anything groundbreaking or interesting that we wouldn't hear about today.

The best bit was how the cartoon worm had a top hat.

Classiest option.

[Yetra Flam]

all cartoon worms look like penises to me.

remember that show the bookplace? with the bookworm? he was a penis too.

ah yes, the ole "save the children from the internets" free software which a 14 year old could crack in a couple of minutes. owned.

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

[b i o n i c]

i love that you dudes get fined for not voting

[hitmonlee]

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