BBJoey posted:conservatism is dead, though Isn't the same thing happening to the Greens? If my yuppy background is anything to go on (and my previous electorate agrees), middle class professionals and retireess are being soaked up by new Greens. The inner city is a mess! At least in Melbrourne. I can genuinely speak to someone and find out later that they're a right-extremist. Or a lefty. It;s just that diverse. And I can see them buying drinks for each other (well, with encouragement and mediation, both sides are pretty weedy and don't lift). I agree that at the top, the power is with the right. And I'm sorry for my PM, Mr. whatsisface, that he is forced to pretend to be more Right then he actually is. Being PM has gotta be soul-destroying. Still, I don't feel the least bit sorry, for him or for me, when there are 17 year old kids in NT who never even got a glipse of what I had.

Ooh ooh, did someone mention unsupportable-anecdotes??? So $444 a fortnight for Austudy. Seems like a lot, right? Now, remember rent prices. Sharing with people, we can manage a $550 a month in rent, another $80 for utilities, $96 for transport, maybe, good thing the bus myki's sometimes gently caress up and we get a free trip. So, $5 a day left over? If I'm lucky? That's for food too. Won't inspire me to get a job any harder if they cut it further, obviously I'm studying, and collecting cash on the side for odd-jobs. Jobs AND food! Sometimes people feed me! Getting a good meal is so luxurious! Lentils and chickpeas get so boring sometimes. Nah, I already want a job. I'm not a vegetarian. To be able to afford meat! Just once a week! Oh I can just think of it! I miss having meat. And what am I going to do if they cut us further? Shower every second day to save a few dollars on gas? Do they even WANT us to get jobs?!?!

Aesculus posted:Australians, let us all rejoice Pft. I prefer the REAL Australian anthem. The one about the homeless dude who steals a sheep and then commits suicide rather than getting arrested, and then becomes a ghost. It's far more topical.
