Julia Gillard is giving Kevin a Rip

[Eclair]

Anyway, Abbott is a festering sore and has as much chance of getting in as Obama has of passing for white.

Well, Obama passed as a black African American stock, when clearly, he isn't. His mother is white and his father is Kenyan and he has never been brought up in the context of generations of slavery and black supression in America. It's almost like a half Jamaican/Half white person being Prime Minister here and representing our indigenous population.

Looks like a hung parliament; first since WW2. Funny thing is, Europe has them all the time, and manages to work something out, yet everyone here is shitting themselves and wants to check the Constitution. Well, we got what we wanted, a hamstrung government that needs Independents and the Greens to get anything through. Gillard may not have the numbers, but she gets first crack at the GG to form a minority govt. Then it's Abbott's turn. Well, neither has the numbers yet, so more bribery and gladhanding will be going on the likes anyone has ever seen before. Serves everyone right.

Well I'm more happy to hear that the greens may hold a balance of power. That would mean the internet filter Cuntroy proposed will be annihilated, as the greens are against it.

That's my primary concern relieved hopefully.

The internet filter would have been as dead as the dodo within days anyway, as anyone who is savvy enough techwise could have worked around it. And given the amount of Proxies, it'd be the equivalent of trying to stop pee with a tea strainer. The main objection I have with Abbott is he is one step shy of being Family First, and we know what a bunch of rabid fuckwit Christians they are. No offense to any Christians here, but there are a lot of rabid fuckwits amongst you.

Fuck. Sex Party would have been a better option. They too were against the filter.

Greens won 9 seats. Up from the 3 seats at last election.

If they were on the House ballot, I would have voted sex party for both house and senate.

There's actually a  SEX PARTY?   

[The_Chosen_One]

Yep. 2 of their platforms were gay marriage and more women in govt.

Your political system sounds like a lot more fun than ours!
