Howard squirming like a little monkey pig on heat trapped in a pork barrel

Although the Australian election campaign proper is officially 2 weeks in duration, the unofficial campaign has monotonously plagued us daily for pretty much the entirety of 2007. Thank fuck it will all be over in a week from now.

I can not ever recall so much media attention given to the event. There is some genuine public interest, interest in seeing the Howard Government thrown the fuck out of office, but a good portion of the saturation coverage I think can be attributed to desperate, desperate individuals struggling to justify why they should be returned to government despite being so putrid.

Of course concurrently, the predominant opposition party is desperate to condition our minds to a reality that they are a slightly less putrid alternative. I’m stating the obvious, which is why the topic has been largely missing from this blog, however I’ll take my opportunity now for one sadistic outburst in the count down.

Barnaby Joyce said there is frustration in coalition ranks that its message is not getting through. I think it’s gotten through alright but we just don’t like the fucking message! Work Choices for example, totally suck arse.

It was most honorable of Mr Abbott to concede in recent days, he “accepts certain protections are not what they were, that whole raft of regulation expressed in awards has largely gone, that the Industrial Relations Commission doesn’t have the same power to reach into the nook and cranny of every business that it used to have”. Tony later defending his comments said he had also claimed in the same speech, that the best protection for an unfairly treated worker was the freedom to choose a better employer.

I’m convinced, if there is the smallest bit of justice left in this world, after next weekend, Tony Abbott will himself be searching for a better job.
