It's like first day of the new term and the thugs are in charge so they' re going to give the nation the finger. I sense that Howard is not in control, which heartens me.
I keep hearing/reading that Barnaby Joyce is a media tart and they will lose interest in him and I'm wondering if that's the line Murdoch is giving his editors to run.
I am waiting for people in this country to note the arrogance of the government now, to listen to the horror stories about the young woman working for Baker's Delight who had her industrial rights skewered by a crooked AWA.
I know I take everything too seriously.
yeah - Murdoch's people would have a line. bastards.
You mean that fuckwit who was attacking Brown in the Senate? I heard some of that.
He should have been chucked out - that "apology" was a travesty.
I can just imgine how they are behaving.
Remember when the Libs got in in SA after the bank debacle?
I had the misfortune to be working across from one of the nastiest of the new Libs' electoral office - and a couple of his thug minders came over cos they coudn't operate their phones.
I was staffing reception for some reason, and they acted like we were a bunch of slaves they had just bought - they were extremely rude and arrogant - demanded help and bla bla. It was chilling. They had wanted it for so long - and now they were gonna **** us (public sector etc). Horrible. They were so full of bully and contempt. They were actually somewhat sexually inappropriate, too. Looked me up and down, and leered, and invaded my personal space. Tried to walk into the admin area, too - swaggering in as though we were, as I said, slaves, and had no rights. I stopped them cold - said there was confidential information there.
