only 10 months of waiting

Happy Birthday to Me!
Thank you Australia for getting rid of the toxicrodent.

Now to get rid of my hangover...

I may now be able to start living a life again, and to be able to debate and counterpoint government or public opinion without exploding.

It has been such a depressing year; it got to the point where I was banned from watching serious current affairs shows on the grounds that either

• a. I would do myself damage
• b. Would do the TV damage

Now; to prove the Right to be wrong and that the Fourth Estate can actually be as tough on the new government as they were on the old; the Right commentariat thought that centrists and the Left were being one sided, when in actual case they were just doing the job that the Opposition should have been doing all along.

Part of the really awful feeling i had was the Opposition refusing to resist the Govt on anything that would showed some real social ideals.

Sure, the argument went "they have the numbers so why waste the capital", but I still see that as a total abrogation of their DUTY as an opposition.

I can bet that the outgoing senate aren't going to just "roll over" since they have the numbers to make the incoming govt's job as hard as possible till June 30.

Let's now just watch this space.
