Grunt,
What is the definition of Electronic Media?
Can poor old Al use a telephone after the electronic blackout? What about the internet? What about Private Messages? SMS?
What about employing an Indian Call centre to canvass votes? Do they have to comply with the Australian laws? What if they call Australians living overseas, is that banned? How about Broadcasting on short wave from another country or from a ship anchored in international waters?
Would removing the foil hat and beaming messages from brain to brain be OK?
We don't want to go overboard on this election and sink.
That'd work... since only the members of the Whirring Machine of Death Inner Sanctum Star Chamber have ever actually heard dear Oz's voice, he could actually be Punjabi for all we, the great unwashed and covered in sawdust, know.Quote:

I'm not sure that "Meester Aaarsveener" is how I would have pronounced his name before he called me to enlighten me though.
Cheers,

Ofcourse we can use the phone. Little Johnnie is using this media to send verbal spam from now on untill the election :eek: and the laws against spam also does not apply to political messages as his son has demonstrated.Quote:

As the telephone is not a mass communication device it would be exempt from the election blackout.

Thanks Grunt. :D
Looks like Al will be on the phone tonight. Hopefully he will be dressed if he is using his video phone, we don't want young women voting for us based on our bodies alone. Al doesn't like to be treated as a sex object. :confused:
Have you noticed how strangely quiet Al has been in the lead up the the election? Do you think he is camera shy?
He is having a few problems with the foil caps and the TV camera lights. He is experimenting with some of his black shellac and home made japanning paint in order to reduce the glare effect.
Just checked out Tupperware and it is not UV resistant, so the Tupperware party will have to remain indoors during the 25 hour days we have in summer, providing the curtains don't fade and ruin the product.
This is by design, so the woodies have an excuse to stay in the shed.Quote:

Now thew mind boggles, a Tupperware Stetson just for the Pollies ((Latin: Parrot-mimick-squawk mindlessely-et al) so they have to stay inside during daylight hours.
What a blessing that could be!
