I just had a Labor party member call me on behalf of Pat O'neill. He didn't even know that he called up during the debate.

Why the gently caress is Hildebrand constantly rewording questions that were just asked?

gently caress Joe Hildebrand. They just killed an MP for her beliefs in the UK.

Definitely.

What Shorten was talking about, Joe, you pillock, is the plebiscite would allow homophobes a public voice to spew their hate.

Turnbull is stumbling a lot more than I thought he would.

Is he really shaken up by the polls or is he usually heavily scripted/used to dixers?

I just logged in to see Hildebrand ducking out to Turnbull and Shorten shaking hands and Turnbull saying Hildebrand did a good job. I think I just had the best viewing experience possible.

At least Joyce is down at #8.

Considering how badly Windsor failed to keep Gillard on her toes before he left, I can't see how he stands out against the other two independents. He's going to need to come up with something special fast if he wants to be the golden boy again and give Blarnaby Joke the old heave-ho.


I'm giving the Sexies my Senate vote because we need to show the powers that currently be that you cannot keep microparties out of the equation.

I caught the last half of that debate and now have no regrets about not paying any prior attention to this election.

I'd award worst performance to Hildebrand and best to the wooden cubes.

Every time the debate looked like it was about to properly get started he would barge in and stomp it out. :(

I was only half paying attention but I didn't catch anything from either leader that I haven't heard before, so I don't think this debate which no-one watched is going to change anything. Is that really the last one? It barely registered to me that the election has begun yet. Has either side released their full policies yet?

I'm really surprised at Turnbull, the only question he answered with a modicum of flair was the one about "The future", which allowed him to spurt of dumb buzzwords and poo poo and illustrate that the party he represents has no idea how to manage an economy.

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

I don't think it was really his job to keep her on her toes, and considering how badly the ALP mangled themselves it would have been just about impossible anyway. Having said that, I still think he did the right thing by everyone when he backed the ALP rather than the LNP..

He stands out from the other independents simply by being a recognised name whose been there before. Taber's a prety good bloke I just don't think he has the numbers.

It will be very, very close.
