Just I can't put it into words but every time he's on TV I just want to either change the channel or hit the screen. There's just something about him that makes me want to hit things.

Maybe a better one would be:
Don't you think he looks stupid?
There must be a Federal ICAC when Labor gets in. It might bite them in the ass, but OMG, it'll kill the LNP! The corruption and venality is so clear these days!
One thing that helps corruption flourish is the current rules for political donations which allow parties and their supporters do use all sorts of ways to high the money
trail.
so I was disappointed to read late last week that labor had climbed into bed with the lnp and voted against a Greens bill that would have brought more transparency to the donation process. by dropping the limits on how much could be donated before the money had to be fully declared.
That's bloody disappointing.
Most interesting watching Snotty try to have his cake and everything. He's trying to keep cosy with the USA and China at the same time.

Notable Deaths, Aussie edition.
Larry Pickering, cartoonist, 76, illness.
In recent times his cartoons have tended towards the vile, being misogynist, racist, and insulting. But back in the day, say the 70s and 80s, he was satirical and funny and showed the politicians who they really were, though I must say his calendars, featuring caricatures of nude male members of the House, could be disturbing.
You can image search him in google, but you'll be disappointed in the vile, unfunny sketches he made in the last ten years. Sad.

OMG saw that last night on the news. Sad.
His cartoons were among the best.

Some but not all. I haven't seen all of his stuff. I remember him from the days of Howard and later Rudd
In Tasmania, parent now have to opt in to have their child’s sex recorded on a birth certificate. This is a great change because it will mean that an intersex baby’s sex does not have to be recorded, and therefore the children can choose what sex they are when they are ready to, or they might decide to not select a sex at all.
I am shocked how many Australians have objected to this rather minor change. All it means is that parents will be asked on the registration form whether they want their child’s sex recorded. If they tick yes, they tick a box F or M, maybe there will be an I option as well. If they want they can tick no, and no sex will be recorded.
I am arguing with one guy about this. He says it is too much of a burden to expect parents to make. He said that they might be too tired or too excited to fill the form in correctly. I said if they are too tired they have a full 60 days to register the birth so maybe they can leave it for later.

I ended up looking that up now and regret it....... Not very kind to her was he?
Yeah I looked that up too ok not that thrilled about him.
Meanwhile Amazon has done an amazing backflip and reversed its decision to ship items to Australia from the Amazon US store

Like many older people he morphed into a racist, misogynist dick. Whether these folk were always like that and got bold with the times or whether they aged into their own racist tribe and liked it I don't know. But honestly, fuck him. He torpedoed his legacy by becoming a nasty creep.
It might be too late for Amazon to woo me back. I wanted to buy a We R Memory Keepers bookbinding cinch and they were sold out at Australian Craft stores where they generally retail for $199 with free postage. On Amazon US it would have cost me about $170 AUD to buy it and get it posted from the US site, on Amazon AU it was listed at a total of $214. I finally found the product on eBay $122 AUD and that included postage from the US and GST. Amazon AU was price gorging on so many products. From now on they will be the last site I visit.
I can't stand them. I have yet to buy anything from them, always find it cheaper elsewhere. They also just don't have most if it in the country so youywaiting forever.
