For the first time, it isn't between two evils.

There is a clear and present threat in this election, and that is Tony Abbot, the vile catholic scum he is who complained that schools weren't religious enough.

Well granted, he is the greater evil, but a tired, cynical and incompetent Labour government does not fill me with enthusiasm...

As for the greens, they are trapped by a weird mixture of doctrinaire socialism and new-age woo...

Aye...


It annoyed me that the green slip forces you to vote between three parties.

I mean, really?

It's a choice of either plain incompetence or incompetence coupled with insanity. Personally I'm supporting the latter because a) it's not my country and b) it's potentially going to be very funny.
