In six days time this man could be Australia’s next prime minister. Seriously.
Could we stand turning on the TV each night and seeing this?
Could we handle him strutting the world stage?
What would I do to stop this happening?
Do a nuddy run around the block (and please note that it’s still winter in this neck of the woods).
Listen to every Red House Painters song in chronological order.
Read Atonement.
Eat only celery.
Anything.

I feel your pain. I live in the country that elected GW Bush president TWICE!

Ms Moon, this fool is in the same category as GW Bush, unfortunately. God, I’m going to be having nightmares all the way through to Sunday morning now.

I know. I know.
Watched Q & A tonight. Won’t drag it all up again, having finally calmed myself down, but the man is a sanctimonious out-of-touch moronic backward thinking git. If he wins, I’m moving.
Please, no. I just can’t do it.

“A sanctimonious out-of-touch moronic backward thinking git.”
Agnes, this is the perfect description of the Mad Monk.

He Who Will Have Nightmares
Nooooooo, did you have to use the budgie-smuggler photo? Up until now, I’d orchestrated my life to avoid having to see *that*, and now it’s tattoo’d into my retinas, never to be removed.

HWWHN, apologies about the image burnt onto your retina, but this could well be our reality in a few days time. It really is too frightening to contemplate.

I’m getting desperate too – might have to move to another country or just get rid of the tv, radio and be very careful what I read on the internet.

Hi Gabrielle, I agree – if Abbott and his bunch of fools get in, I’ll be banning all current affairs around this joint.
Except I live in Canberra, so it’s impossible to escape politics.
Might have to move to a place where there’s no technology.
The desert is sounding nice.
