All things considered though, they've done pretty well, I mean all we know is that the centre column 'does things' and a bit about speeches.

Bored, made an alternate SA flag for some reason. The spikes aren't arbitrary, they're based off of spears used around the Murray region. Didn't know whether to include the Southern Cross or not, you can probably guess my feelings on it.

Oooh, I do like that.

Have to say, I'm still not sure what a flag of the Australian Republic should look like. The easiest thing would just be yellow/green thing with the southern cross in the middle, but that would look like shit. And I am very much against incorporating anything from the Aboriginal flag, that would water-down the latter's own power. Maybe we should just use a goddamn kangaroo.

I like the lack of Southern Cross. The sight of which is making me cringe lately. 1 in 10 cars it seems has the back window decal around here. I even saw one on the weekend which was so badly aligned, it was tragic. Nothing like advertising you're a redneck, and showing your stupidity at the same time.

Red rectangle, QANTAS kanga. Simple. Revolting.
I dunno, either. I like the idea of a plain colour with the silhouette of, say, a gum tree. 2 colours, no bullshit.

Holy shit, guys, I bought Jon Stewart's book on the weekend (I found a Borders in redneckville - Macarthur Square - the home of the misaligned (malaligned?) Southern Cross), and his interpretation of Australia and Waltzing Matilda is enough to make you cry true tears of joy.
I want Jon Stewart babies. They will be cuttingly sarcastic, dry, and perceptive. Efficient in put-downs. Correct.

So the current lulz on the street revolve around an email being faked. What do we think? I reckon just for being a complete fool, Turnbull really ought to resign. Even if he doesn't, there's no way the public are gonna hold confidence in him for a next election, unless Rudd really really screws up.

I do feel sorry for the folk who have gotten a Southern Cross tattoo simply because they happen to like Australia, and not because they're complete dipshits, but the fact is - they still have a Southern Cross tattoo, and they look like shit, AND the Southern Cross isn't Australia-exclusive, and it has such a bad rep now that we may as well just about put the swastika on the flag.
Have to say, I haven't been especially interested in this whole charade. I do think Turnbull is best off resigning, though, it would be pretty damn hard for him to fight back after this.
Surely this is a prime example of media hoop-la over a minor affair while really important stories go quietly under the radar.

Basically any event that the media dubs with the suffix "-gate" doesn't strike me as worth my time, unless it's chicken-gate, which was great.

Correct. Iranian riots and deaths? North Korea launching possibly missiles? Who cares, someone was given preference for help that everyone would get!

You're aware of the number of recommendations the commission made that were followed through on? Yes, that's 0, guys.
Privatisation is only one very huge issue facing Australian prisons.

It is one of the most disgusting and grisly events in Australian news over the past year - and even in the midst of more positive news regarding Indigenous land rights, you get something like this and it makes all the good news look comparatively meaningless. It's horrifying - he was given a 600ml bottle of water for the entire trip, for fuck's sake, in 50c+ conditions. It was murder.
God, I'm just furious reading about this. I can't even respond straight. I mean, fuck. You just don't think that thing'd happen now.

Have a good one, Ax. Don't let rural Australia's violations of human rights get you down!

Hello, Assver.
I've given myself an insane and damn near impossible photoshop project. It'll be cool once it's finished, it's just taking more work than I thought.
How's you?
