because this deserves its own post.

I apologise for the spam, but the Prime Ministerial debate was amusing me too much. One of the questions went something like this-

Speaker: Prime Minister, would you like to apologise to the Australian public for breaking your promise [about 'keeping interest rates at a record low'; it's risen five times since 2004]?
John Howard: Stalling tactic; stalling tactic; Labor sucks, guys, don't vote for them; stalling tactic; guess what? We kinda rock, because we gave you all these tax cuts, I ain't apologising for nothin', bitches!

So there may have been paraphrasing, but that was the general gist. It filled me with much lulz. I'm so proud of our PM, man, he is such an experienced weasel politician.

LOLOLOL. I loved Johnny H, I must say. He's so incredibly slimy articulate.

"Labour sucks, yo. Don't vote for them 'cause if you do, the unions are gonna come back and it'll be horrible! Also, they're Labour. Srsly, do you want your grandchildren to starve or summat? They're gonna DESTROY THE ECONOMY! *flail*"

That's what I got anyway.
Man, I'm failing at finishing this anthropology assignment so much. >.>

*cries* Alright, alright! I've only got 300 more words to bullshit anyway. XD

Get on it, missy, and perhaps you will be rewarded with... stuff.

I'm so glad I don't have to vote yet. What a choice.

[zenni.livejournal.com]

I think it's better to at least be able to have a say. I mean, even if you don't know who to vote for, you could always waste it on a third party!

Liberalz. Lulz. When all else fails, they work on bagging out the opposition.

I know there's not supposed to be free speech in this country, but the Liberals obviously hate it more (ie. studio audience, killing the worm etc).

Haha. That's the Libs' tactic: make everyone else look worse than yourself.

This is why you watch stuff on the ABC.

Oh, Johnny. Articulate as always.

I love you ♥ - when are you free for iced chocolate or some other manner of iced beverage this week?

[zenni.livejournal.com]

I am free right now! Or from now until whenever of today. Also free from 2pm on Wednesday!

♥ you too <3

2pm tomorrow (tomorrow being Wednesday)? I am currently dicking around at St Lucia because I got the times for a lecture mixed up. I thought it started at 12, and apparently that's when it finished. JOY.

Lets not forget how good Kevin was a this too. I think they were probably both equally evasive in their answers.

That debate was ridiculous, just a summary of all that we've heard already. Both of them somehow managed to twist and turn all their answers into over-rehearsed speels with no real substance.
