Ranting, Practised: Pwnt
http://justtheoddrant.blogspot.com/2008/06/pwnt.html
An attempt to make a cohesive argument against things that should annoy everyone. Monday, June 2, 2008. You, News Ltd, have been pwnt. As of now, they haven't even tried to print/post a correction. Kate McCulloch is an opponent. Of a Muslim school in Camden, Sydney, and was labelled/claimed to be the new Pauline Hanson. Not only did Hanson hang up when contacted (she doesn't want much to do with this? Surprise.), but McCulloch has also been slapped down. The Macarthurs will be proud of us.

election2007: From yesterday's Crikey
http://ozvotes.blogspot.com/2007/12/from-yesterdays-crikey.html
Thursday, December 20, 2007. When is a vote not a vote? Peter Brent from Mumble Politics. A funny thing happened to provisional votes at the November 24 election. It probably cost the ALP several seats. Or it prevented them from taking several seats they shouldn’t have. Or perhaps 70,000 – 100,000 people who couldn’t be bothered keeping their enrolment details up to date simply got what they deserved. It’s in the eye of the beholder. What is a provisional vote? But only 24,212 were counted; the rest were...

election2007: Tensions rise over Hale St Bridge
http://ozvotes.blogspot.com/2007/12/tensions-rise-over-hale-st-bridge.html
Wednesday, December 5, 2007. Tensions rise over Hale St Bridge. Like a rabbit in the headlights. Traffic will be banked back for "kilometres" on the Riverside Expressway when works starts on the new Hale Street Bridge. The State Government says. The proposed bridge, from Milton to South Brisbane, is becoming the "hot potato" road project in the spotlight for next year's Brisbane City Council elections. Subscribe to: Comment Feed (RSS).

election2007: Can Spend Campbell
http://ozvotes.blogspot.com/2007/12/can-spend-campbell.html
Monday, December 3, 2007. As quickly as the Kevin Rudd election posters are coming down around Brisbane, the Liberal Party are replacing them with billboards of their own local hero. A number of posters featuring Lord Mayor Campbell Newman and his Liberal council hopefuls have sprung up around the city in recent days. Motorists along Wynnum Road at Cannon Hill this morning will have noticed a large billboard advertisement for Melina Morgan, the Liberal candidate for the Morningside ward.

election2007: Election Night: Tallyroom Tension
http://ozvotes.blogspot.com/2007/12/election-night-tallyroom-tension.html
Saturday, December 1, 2007. Election Night: Tallyroom Tension. The Poll That Counts No.3: Tallyroom Tension. Inside the National Tallyroom in Canberra on Saturday night, the tension rose as the Australian Labor Party took the lead. People had travelled long distances and waited for hours to get into the public area. They knew why they had come. As one woman quipped, " I want my country back! It was not just a partisan crowd. But they had come to celebrate. Original post at: Labor View From Broome.

election2007: Bill Heffernan's Payback
http://ozvotes.blogspot.com/2007/12/bill-heffernans-payback.html
Monday, December 3, 2007. The Poll That Counts: Bill Heffernan's Payback. Inside the Tallyroom, Senator Bill Heffernan sparred with The Chaser. As a close friend of John Howard and a Liberal Party assassin, he watched the Prime Minister's concession speech with despair. It was payback time for his attacks on High Court Justice Michael Kirby and Labor Deputy Julia Gillard. Politics doesn't have to be fought Heffernan's venomous way. I hope he will leave us in peace now. Posted by Kevin Rennie.

election2007: From today's crikey - final election figures
http://ozvotes.blogspot.com/2008/01/from-todays-crikey-final-election.html
Monday, January 7, 2008. From today's crikey - final election figures. Voters going postal – or a benefit of incumbency? From the November 24 federal election are in - and they show something interesting. The Coalition ended up with 47.44% of the two party preferred voted. Despite the impression on the night of a strong Labor win, Kevin Rudd was only elected with a margin just over 1.5%. That’s the smallest swing for a change of government since World War II, going by Mr Mumble’s table. But all the major...

election2007: My list of demands
http://ozvotes.blogspot.com/2007/12/my-list-of-demands.html
Monday, December 3, 2007. My list of demands. Hello I'm one of the many people who voted to put you in office. Guess what? That makes me one of your many employers. Normally when you are put in a new job in the PS, you'll get a copy of your JD, and 3-6 months probation. Given your circumstances, you already know what your JD is, and 6 months probation? Try 3 years, at which point we (the Australian people) will reassess. Get our troops out of Iraq. I noticed on Friday. Not during your first term. Don...
