Here is Sheridan's creed, namely that Abbott is just a misunderstood guy that is too complicated for this world. Also its all Peta Credlin's fault. Oh and he doesn't hold grudges. Oh and he isn't a monarchist but in fact a federalist. Oh and he has never used his religion politically ever. *silently brushes aside Phillip Ruddock* quote:NO Australian prime minister has been quite so complex, or quite so spectacularly misunderstood, by supporters and detractors, and indeed the public, as Tony Abbott. Bolded the funniest parts.

Abbott's spiritual mentor whom he has defended tirelessly is in trouble again at a rather inconvenient time for Mr Rabbit. http://www.smh.com.au/world/cardinal-george-pell-the-vaticans-financial-watchdog-slammed-for-lavish-spending-20150228-13rf1h.html quote:Cardinal George Pell, who was hand-picked by Pope Francis to cut outlays and shed light on the Vatican's murky finances, has been accused of spending half a million euros in six months by flying business class and using large sums on salaries and office furniture. Sounds like Abbott might have learned his spending practices from his spiritual mentor, too. Claimed more on personal bullshit as leader of the opposition than sitting Prime Ministers.

Rapner posted:Isn't more lanes when it is over capacity exactly what is needed? I have a problem. The rate of water flowing from my faucet is far too low. I need to increase the rate of liters per minute. To combat this, I am going increase the size of the pipes leading into my tap but leave the tap at exactly the same size. This is the same problem with road construction. For the most part, all the roads lead to Rome (aka, the CBD), because that's where people want to go during times of heavy congestion. Now you can build the biggest, fattest freeway in the world, 20 lanes across both ways, and it will still back up because most of the traffic is still trying to get off at the same junction because they are all headed to a destination in the same 3 sq kilometer radius. Now this is a simplification, because sometimes you can divert the traffic that previously had to head through the cbd around the cbd (i.e Melbourne's Citylink), but roadways like that still run into problems when the offlanes back up onto the freeway because the smaller city roads just can't handle the shitloads of traffic. The solution is to encourage less vehicles to be on the roads that youve already got, by encouraging people to ride share or use public transport. Less space on the roads is taken up per passenger trip taken that way, and the major bottlenecks can now handle the reduced volume of traffic. EDIT: I should add that the reason we are stuck in this mindset is because in Australia's recent history, people driving around big fat sedans by themselves kinda worked. We had a lot of people with relatives in rural areas, and there wasnt all that much traffic (and a lower population). Having a car made a lot of sense and driving it everywhere made a lot of sense if you need to go to Ballarat every weekend and there's no traffic in town. But we don't live in that country anymore and both modern Australian culture and our political class have failed to realise that, so we are still stuck with people buying huge, impractical sedans and driving them around town in densely populated modern metropolises, with politicians encouraging this outdated mindset by building great fuckoff roads every chance they get. We need smaller cars carrying more people per car on the roads we've already got. hiddenmovement fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Feb 28, 2015 |

Couple of pages ago but... I saw this muppet in the city today and I swear to god I have never seen someone so determined to not make any kind of eye contact with anyone, or not be recognised, in my life. He nervously made eye contact with me for like a picosecond before he looked at the ground so hard it nearly cracked. I could almost read his thoughts and it went something like 'Oh god oh god, please dont recognise me, please dont call me a fuckstick. God Im sick of being called a fuckstick. And a wanker. I get so much abuse from random people and I really dont understand why qq'. I almost felt sorry for him. Anyway, I guess my karmic bank balance went up a bit because I didnt call him a fuckstick. Welp, thats my brush with auspol this weekend thanks for reading. cya.

Yeah haha, they have a bunch of images with ONLY LABOR CAN STOP WESTCONNEX even though they obviously support it just maybe moved a little from their marginal seats. People around here aren't that easily fooled though, I went door knocking for the Greens today for the first time and I'd say 8/10 houses I visited people were either voting for or strongly thinking of voting for the Greens. Had some really nice conversations! I really haven't seen much from the Liberal Labor coalition in the inner west but the Greens have been everywhere, it's a nice consolation when thinking of how the Liberals will retain government and Labor wouldn't be much better anyway. At least the Greens are growing.

I saw quite a few posters for labor on people's fences and there were loads of people who would rattle off opinions straight out of the greens policy and then not being sure who they were voting for. Time to print out a million Ken the voting dingo comics...

I didn't end up going to the debrief after as my partner and I only have one day a week to spend time with each other due to our jobs and it was getting late. I really enjoyed it though and hopefully will be able to do more volunteering beyond letter boxing with the Greens leading up to the election. Probably more so in Summer Hill. I don't think we ended up speaking to a single Labor supporter. I know it's Newtown but I was pretty surprised at just how many people were already voting Greens or were really interested in what we had to say, it has left me feeling pretty good today.

I was thoroughly enjoying the Sheridan article for the perverse dross that it was right up until he blatantly traded emotional verbiage for factual incorrectness. Chris Watson was a journalist and editor as well, you loving useless ignorant misinformed hack. Thanks for nothing.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade but we target our doorknocking with demographic data from the census and the electoral roll. Still a great result, though, shows it's working.
