    You know deep down that your quiet sense of unease isn’t really rational.

    Alas FD…..For the first time I can remember.
    I have to disagree with you.
    It’s a truly horrid feeling and it’s all too rational. :-(

    There’s nothing quiet about mine. Everyone is laughing and saying ‘Yay, now they really really can’t ever get elected!’. But people voted for Howard…

    My sanity is currently buffered by a strong state of denial.

    It’s rational all right. Loads easier to vote for an anti-warmingist anti carbon taxist than it is to vote for a Workchoices deadshit.

    I’vere-discovered that old unease that the Australian voter prefers the openly rabid politician over the merely silly well-meaning one.

    Will we see the ranks of the Libs under the mad monk swelled by the National Front ? Could well do.

    Too subtle today FD, THERE IS SO ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING RATIONAL ABOUT THE UNFETTERED HATRED I HAVE OF THAT MAD, RABID, RIGHT-WING BASTARD SON OF THE OPUS DEI.

    All the people of Oz who actually voted to get this misanthropic shit a seat in Parliament should be ashamed of themselves. It means you too are traitors to your own country. :( :( :(

    Jeez Venise - sounds like you went to a Catholic (single sex) College like me, clear echoes of how I felt waiting outside the Confessional (but never ‘fessed up to). Mortally doomed it seems.

    Venise, can’t disagree with you but from my limited poking around time here I thought you were pretty laid back and cruisy. I see I’m somehow mistaken…..but I’m with ya!

    ROBON: You’re right. Time for me to get a hold of myself. If I’m not back to being me tomorrow remind me I’m me! Does that make any sense? :)

    Venise: yep, sounds good. Nothing a cuppa tea, a Bex and good lie down can’t fix though - he said wishfully.

    Actually Venise - I think you should maintain the rage and we should all join you. I have been like Joal in that my unease has been over-ridden by denial. I can’t take the man seriously. I’m just waiting to wake up one day to be told the whole thing is an elaborate hoax. But I thought that of Pauline Hanson and look at the damage she did to the reputation of the country.

    JENNY: Thank you for those kind words. :) :) It’s like going to the dentist, no matter how much rage we feel I sorta, kinda try to not let it show. I’m a white knucklelist from way back. Grrrrr. :) :( :)

    The trouble with this mesmerisingly horrible sort of person is we lose sight of the point of the whole exercise which was not about personalities anyway but about the interests of the mining industry etc.
