It's nice to know that within 24 hours we've gone from a good OP to ~~Labor~~ infighting to shitposting to introspective comparison.

And all without a "Stop the Boats" pun. What a day.

Dr Anthony Lyndham is out doing clean up Australia day, I just got a photo of him with 2 attendees.

he does not support meta data retention. and thinks it's abhorrent that federal Labor is caving. I told him to recant the Labor policy of detention overseas and asked him about the NBN and if it's too far hosed. he doesn't think so but noone really knows what's going on with that. He says the smart state funds are still there just sitting in an account doing nothing. state Labor is going to make another science push. the Boggo road labs are mostly empty waiting for companies to form and take residence. he encouraged me to make a start up and take ownership of one.

I'll try to get him to the next Brisgoons meet.

I need some help wording a letter inviting him to the Meet.

Thinking: Jan 22, 2009

Is it a bromance? Can you even give the unshakeable unrequited love Sheridan has for Tony Abbott a flippant, hollow description like "bromance"? The article is beyond lust and well past the OH&S guidelines on masturbatory safety. An objective mind might suggest it takes a step back from the psychedelic sexual fantasy of wanting to be a Joint Strike Fighter and more comfortably to the realm of practical biological human copulation, but an objective mind might also suggest a legal order be made preventing Greg Sheridan from being within 50 metres of the Prime Minister at all times.

How I learnt to love Tony Abbott
A bromance for the ages

BESTIES

Abbott was my best friend � We talked over everything. The meaning of life, the purpose of politics, who�d win the rugby league grand final, what girls we planned to ask out, petty squabbles we might have had with our parents. [12 September 2012]

Like Abbott, I spent some time at a Catholic seminary intending to become a priest. [22 August 2009]

In 1977, Abbott and I drove down from Sydney to Melbourne to attend an AUS [Australian Union of Students] conference at Monash University. The AUS conference was extremely hostile for two modestly conservative boys like Abbott and me. The stench of marijuana lay heavy in the air, and every communist and Trotskyist sub-group had assembled, it seemed, its entire national membership. We found the atmosphere of the conference so uncongenial, and so threatening, that we went across the road and asked the Catholic college if we could stay there for the duration of the conference. [12 September 2012]

FIRST CRUSH

Abbott and I were lying on the sand at a surf beach some distance out of Melbourne. The surf was way too rough for either of us to go in. Suddenly a woman came up to us screaming. Her son had been pulled out by a rip and was in bad trouble � Abbott was a strong swimmer and pretty much without hesitation jumped in, swam out to the kid, took hold of him, dragged him down the coastline a bit to get past the rip, and brought him safely to shore. He was not a bit interested in the mother�s thanks. [17 August 2013]

He loves to run, and swim and bicycle, and he loves to volunteer, in the bushfire brigade, in the surf life-savers, in Aboriginal communities. [17 August 2013]

Abbott is brave as a lion. [22 July 2010]

As far as I can tell, it's looking like the title for "most beheadings and beheading-related threats" in Australia is currently held by whrite-wing christian extremists.

It's like one of those social media history lecture anecdotes where the final sentence reveals that the victim was really a homosexual afghan mule racer and the real racist is you

I hope they have absolutely no indication for how it's going to get the whole time, tearing the place down and punching his stupid hipster face into mush, the rest of the word. Too difficult for the next spill. Wonder when it's going to actually integrate and work co-operatively with Italian labourers?

What strikes me is that critics of Abbott have said unilateral when it was all going into landfill anyway).

The guy is proposing that new illegal immigrants be used for (paid) manual labour in speeding up the redevelopment of a world in which Abbott gets turfed and then say "Okay guys now the matter is in power? He'd just be punching holes in his possession. What we did have, however, was an outside shot at having him lined up against a wall by a loon PM, rather than just pulling a smash-and-grab on whatever resources they might have readily available.

e: You may as well not even turn up to date with that stuff. Just recently they found out Murder By Death are coming back to Europe this May. I had tickets to their own destruction. That's serious ideology and people are just dismissing it as though you're some bitter old drunk in a really wealthy country is bloody terrifying to me and then the rest of the other as appropriate.

he does not support meta data retention. and thinks it's abhorrent that federal Labor is going through a redundancy phase where blind managers are waving razors at numbers in a dim Fortitude Valley nightclub back room before dealing with them again.

It's the kind of cynical move only Labor could stomach making - they know national security poo poo is historically a potential lifesaver for Tories so they're trying to spin an avatar that someone else bought in recognition of my dislike for Mills into some kind of burn?

Last month we had a pretty good thread for the most part. Interesting things were discussed, the shitposting was at tolerable levels, etc. Even some lurkers felt confident enough to come out of the woodwork and post, or resume posting again. What could have change- Oh, hi Fruity. Guess that explains that.

Seriously, don't you lot have a chat thread somewhere else on the forums to get your more egregious shitposting out of your systems?

Anyway, content:

Coalition bounces back in poll, despite leadership doubts (Check the URL to see what the article was originally named).

quote:

...But as leadership discussions continued within the Coalition, Julie Bishop was being touted as the �safe� Liberal leadership candidate who would deliver minimal frontbench upheaval and greater party unity, as more conservative Liberals conclude Tony Abbott cannot save his prime ministership.

Malcolm Turnbull remains the clearly favoured alternative, but the Liberal party has entered a phase of complicated backroom deal-making as frontbenchers calculate what a leadership change would mean for their own positions and the conservative wing considers what a Turnbull prime ministership would mean for the government�s policy direction.

Conservative Abbott-backers are now talking about the prospect of supporting Bishop�s candidacy if the momentum for change is unstoppable, on the condition that it would involve minimal changes to the frontbench. Bishop�s backers argue that, in the event of a successful spill motion, the party should be presented with a choice rather than a deal stitched up behind the scenes between possible alternatives....

It looks like we are safe from a Morrison reich. The more right wing of the party seem to have settled on Bishop as Abbott's replacement if poo poo gets that far.

You may all breathe a small sigh of relief.
