    Blam Blam Blam for me.

    There is no depression in New Zealand;
    there are no sheep on our farms,
    There is no depression in New Zealand;
    we can all keep perfectly calm,

    just how quickly do the Aussies move on?

    The Aussies moved on as quickly as they did when they left Suncorp stadium. My neighbours were speechless yesterday, when I decided to approach them by knocking on the door; I was welcomed inside for a coffee and the last hour of the cricket.

    How did Darren Lockyer win the man of the match?

  • Hard News: Will they make O'Reilly sweat?,

    I watched a documentary last night on SBS where a small group of committed Australians who have made it their mission to find asylum seekers the Australian government has rejected. When the Taliban lost Government in late 2001, Australian authorities told them their homeland was now safe. The documentary provides evidence of at least nine Afghan deportees who were killed when sent back home. We learn that the Howard government was deporting people to Syria on short-term visas that are not Syrian. When their Syrian visas run out, they have to go into hiding. Equally disturbing is evidence that Australian government has been knowingly issuing false passports to deport the returnees. Brilliant piece of journalism.

  • Island Life: Key and the 'nesians,

    Amanda Binns reminds me of a Seagull manager, her role is to fly in, make a lot of noise, shit on everyone, then fly out. Leaving the flock to worry about the pecking order.

  • Island Life: Let's be Frank,

    I was just on the phone to my mum, she suggested we could pee on the blue to make it green.

    What an act.

  • Island Life: Let's be Frank,

    Ah fuck, who am I kidding. I'm more of a cynic than most people I know.

    I am glad, for a while, I thought Blue and yellow mixed =green . Fuck it does as a colour but not politically.

  • Hard News: And meanwhile ...,

    That they didn't says two things; firstly they can see beyond increasingly irrelevant social arrangements and secondly that Goff is the best person for the job.

    Indeed, I also like the idea that Act will be even more isolated now, Key will be wary of Goff coming across as sensible to the centrist voters who went with the right this time.
