Isn't the victor for the leadership of Oz going to be announced today?
Totally not surprised Windsor has backed the ALP. I'm pissed it has taken him so fucking long, as with the others. It essentially has made every single one of our votes redundant. That is just bullshit and not democracy. This election has been an amazing fuckup. Anyway, I don't share his enthusiasm shown in his press conference currently on.
i was just thinking before i opened this thread up just now that i wondered if melbourne would live up to my expectations since everyone on here talks it up so much!then wait til you see Melbourne

if there's stability in the Libs camp i daresay he'll be running the country if there's another election before the 3 yrs is up.
this result doesn't really please me at all... it means that we're going to be hearing a HELLUVA lot more politics in the next 3 yrs and very little actual doing.
Torontonian (?) at heart now?
What really pisses me off most about Abbott, despite his vile attitudes, is a total lack of clear and well formed goals, his constant "stable government" rhetoric in the face of his own party's inability to even present a workable budget and then further saying that an 11 billion dollar hole is "a matter of opinion" as though we, Treasury, and the ALP all idiots and a detailed explanation is not really needed because, hell, they're stable, and then the spin doctors. Or is that a lack of spin? I'm still not entirely sure. I'd like to see him speak at length on asylum seekers. Fuck, I'm able to. Why can't he? And why exactly are they an issue? The numbers of illegals through traffickers is actually very small. Really small. Our offshore processing is a fucking stupid idea, as it's only around 5% of those who aren't eventually given a visa, but while they're processed, it costs shitloads of money and really pisses off the neighbours. It's such a non issue. I'd love to know how it became a bullet-point in the Libs campaign. Did a group of rednecks in a rural seat answer a call for voicing their concerns with it, thus leading Abbott to not risk letting this potentially vote winning issue pass? Or have our well publicised outbursts of racial intolerance fed this in a safer way? Hell, he can't do much about the immigrant groups already here that may cause trouble, so he'd better be looking to stopping yet more of these people from overseas. Cause, you know, "fuck off we're full" and all that. Yes, let's control numbers. It's our right. It's our country and we will carefully protect it from um... boat people. Or should that be "boat people"? That covers all of them, rather than specifying which handful are actually wrong doers.
Adelaide is a great place. Unfair reputation. It's just a seriously small place. Visitors need to expect that, and locals need to accept that. It's a country town that has happened to grow to the size of a small city. Experience it that way, and it's fantastic.
Really, the only major Australian city I'd say you can safely skip is Brisbane.
Adelaide blows Earnie
Hearing a lot more politics in the next 3 years is exactly what we need. That aside, I doubt Gillard will last that long and we'll be at the polls once more when the disorganisation again takes over.

That's true. I'd say all the general dodginess goes out of the window when you're sitting outside the Exeter in the middle of the Fringe with a cold Coopers. Still, I'd rather it were a touch more cosmopolitan.
