Australian Politics.

I remember 4 wheel drum brakes and manual (vague) steering and people not running into one another nearly as often as they seem to now. I lived in sidinee with bumper to bumper traffic yet I saw more crashes happen right in front of me the first 12 months in Brisbane than I'd seen in 30 years in Sydney. There were multi nose to tails 2 days in a row at the end of my ladyfriend's street last week.

Maybe it's choice. Maybe people just don't care anymore. Dunno.

Poverty (%) in Australia doubled between 1984 and 1994. I will never forgive Hawke.

I just got my first bits of pollie puke in the letterbox today. An addressed letter from the Liberal hopeful and another claiming she is seat shopping. Dirt and mud seems to be the name of the game. How do I get off these goons' mailing lists, is there an conscientous objectors objectors register?

You're lucky only just getting the advertising now. We've been getting it for a week or two even one from a candidate who isn't standing in our electorate. That bodes well for the future.
As Damian points out we must be in marginal seats.
Cheers,

We got mail addressed to my ex partners first and surnames and my initial on her surname from the local conservative fool.
I found it very insulting.
I am also in a marginal seat.

The LNP has made a mess of it all and the candidates are ropeable.

My ladyfriend got a postal vote info pack from Jane Prentice via the LNP. She rents rooms and they just assumed her tennants were married (despite different sirnames) and she was their daughter (which means her "mother was 2 when she was born and her "father" is about 10 years younger than her). The female tennant was insulted and sent a letter to them complaining about it.

Sigh.

When with friends one should not discuss religion or politics.
So foe Gods sake will someone delete the EFFING political crap from the forum.

You know how this works, like a radio without sound. ....You can turn it off, or in this case.... don't read it and ignore it.

But we feel your pain.
