My most resounding memory of Abbott is of seeing him on Lateline when he was running against Turnbull, where he admitted he hadn't read any of the current reports on climate change and he also hadn't read the Plimer book he'd been citing as a counterargument but it didn't matter because ??? and then he became opposition leader.

Sometimes I wonder if his eyes are pushing back into his brain causing a bit of damage back there. I guess we should be grateful for his unfortunate disease because he'd be a hell of a lot more dangerous if he had a face people would take seriously.

Att Brisgoons http://m.brisbanetimes.com.au/queen...social_facebook The Kingsford Smith Drive upgrade contract has been signed and Graham Quirk announced himself Santa. It's now pretty obvious he's on the take because even RACQ has come out opposing the plan (guess they should have donated more). The ALP has opposed it because they're scared of big numbers and only wanted to dump $150 mil into it instead of the current $650 mil. The greens support trees over people so they want it left alone altogether. I'm thinking it could be stopped/retarded by the residents in the area, who are fairly active and vocal against other recent poor development proposals in the toowong area, and they will probably stand up against having more homes and parks demolished for the upgrade. Other than this sort of piecemeal grassroots activity there isn't really much else to stop it going ahead at this point. Merry Christmas Brisbane

It's Peta who is "keeping Tony in the game", says a sympathetic MP. "She believes he can make a come-back probably more than him and is pushing him to it." But nobody really knows. Coalition members have talked themselves dry on the subject of Abbott's plans.

Abbott doesn't seem like the type to have a 'plan' as such and will probably just flail around a bit with the odd media interview and attempts to win back former supporters, and kind of hope it all just falls into place for him. edit: Apparently Shorten has fallen one point to 14% as preferred PM. Not sure how anyone can look at those kinds of results and somehow justify staying in their position as opposition leader. gay picnic defence fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Dec 8, 2015 |

See, I used to think local gov was boring and useless. But it's probably the most important because it's how we experience effects of state and fed policy in "real life". Plenty of local and grassroots orgs run against state and fed policy on things like indigenous self determination, environmental issues, refugees and immigration. The space we live in affects us directly as well and is influenced by policy; that of local gov. Local gov representatives are also the easiest to get a hold of in person, and are usually pretty useless humans too. As an example, one of the greens gunning for a spot in sunny coast is pushing to divest sunny coast council of fossil fuels. It's been picked up by the brissy greens too. This is a policy area that just is failing nationally but can be acted on locally. A couple of wards in bris last council election, karawatha and macgregor, had over 20k people each enrolled to vote, but only had 18k and 19k people actually rock up. I'm guessing you with your shrugging shoulders would have been one of them. But its a hell of a lot more important than state or fed election, just not as sexy. Also graham quirk walks down queen st mall most days around 4-4:30 so you can go up and tell him how much of a shithead he is in person. Wouldn't do that to turnbull, he'd have security + he's just some wanker from down south anyway, who cares.

instead of looking into why people want to kill themselves and boosting mental health services, they were cut and barriers were put up instead. So now people will jump in front of trains or off KP Cliffs. people jumping off bridges was causing traffic problems and that wasn't good for Newman's traffic easement message.

Even Newman wouldn't consider a fence a replacement for mental health services.

Yeah given the walk over the story bridge is done by thousands of people drunk and on psychoactive drugs every month I think it's a loving pissweak thing to dredge up against Newman, the barriers are a good thing and if you think it has no benefit apart from easing traffic concerns you can gently caress off

Sorry if I'm getting unnecessarily aggro about this but my personal experience is that ideation of suicide is severely curtailed by lack of exposure to means and those barriers on the bridge mean I don't have to stop and think about my current state of mind every time before I walk over it so its a personal thing for me
