Whacking Permalink Archive 21-7-02 Funny thing is, people who have plastic surgery don't usually look young, they just look like they have had plastic surgery. A 50-year-old woman won't look 30, she will look like a 50-year-old woman who has done funny things to her head. According

"statue molesters" Cancel his invite to the Adelaide Writers Festival dammit Bruce Hill aint gonna win many Brownie points with the chatterati if he keeps saying culturally insensitive stuff like this.... The moral argument seems to me unassailable. It was the same in the Cold War and it's even more cogent now. The United States is the arsenal of freedom and the only hope for the defence of modern civilisation. Anything which weakens America's ability to fight the war against terror is treason against future generations. Dude, you're never going to make it as a guest on Late Night Live with this sort of thing, you naughty, naughty fellow. The rest
of you should go read the rest of this
imperialist outrage immediately. It deals with New Zealand, and their
moral obligation to help with the war on terror. Tsk, tsk... has this
imperialist swine no shame? What will Radio National have to say about
this? Another state Liberal disaster What on Earth is going on with the state & territory Liberal parties? Yesterday, the Liberals were massacred in Tasmania, winning only 6 seats to Labor's 15 and 4 to the Greens. The great unfathomable paradox of Australian politics is the contrast in party fortunes between a federal and state/territory level. Labor now controls all states and territories, yet can't seem to tell their arseholes from their elbows federally. The situation is reversed for the Libs Labor claims these votes send a message that voters are unhappy with the Howard government. The Libs claim these state elections have been fought on state issues. They're both full of crap. The Labor state Premiers and Chief Ministers are effective communicators who can enforce strong party discipline. They tend to be level-headed, well-spoken leaders rather than the wretched socialist handbags of Federal Labor, who's every word and policy speech sounds like they were cobbled together from the How to be an ideologically correct leftie manual. The likes of Steve Bracks, Peter Beattie, Geoff Gallup and Claire Martin look good and sound good. They seem direct, interested and down to earth. The state Libs on the other hand, are a dismal array of disorganised, self-righteous private-school snotballs who seem utterly incapable of communicating to voters at any level. Jeff Kennett saved Victoria from becoming a third-world economy after years of catastrophically inept Labor management, yet even his own economic success could not overcome his insufferable arrogance and self-imposed hubris. Western Australia's Richard Court was an obnoxious butthead who made Kennett look humble. Forgot an important rule of politics too: voters can choose not to vote for you no matter how much of a demi-god you think you are. The ACT's Kate Carnell morphed into a certifiable loon who's insane spending habits and white-elephant projects made Joan Kirner look like a bean-counter. In South Australia, the wretched slimy back-stabbing John Olsen had a lifeless economy to deal with, and seemed to forget the libs only got elected because they weren't John Bannon. It's quite possible the CLP in the NT forgot they even had an opposition. After 24 years, they obviously didn't think the "it's time" factor would play a part. Tasmanian Lib leader Bob Cheek was our own Steve Forbes: a creepy chattering airhead mannequin who failed to convince anybody he had any real ideas of his own. The less said about the woeful NSW libs, the better. Has there been a more incompetent, uninspiring party is recent history? The ingredients are there for the libs: crime is rampant, state health & urban services are woeful, and noone is ever happy with the schools. Yet what do they have? A new airhead leader who looks like one of the airbrushed private-school wankers we all hated as kids. And their front bench don't exactly inspire either. The Libs
really need to rid themselves of the born-again-jesus-freak, private-school
types that seem to be overrunning the party, and it's happening federally
too. Howard and da boys had better watch themselves. The invincibility
mentality causes lazy, bad government and a serious amount of voter backlash.
As Jeff Kennett proved, no amount of economic brownie-points can save
you from a case of overblown self-righteousness.
