From my facebook page, with my sentiments echoed by many:

Dear Mark Latham, Sorry, but I am going to exercise my God-given democratic right to vote on Saturday. Regards, Awesome.

God-given?

So he wrote the Bible and the Australian Constitution?

LBT, I was watching the late news last night when they said he was likely to retain with an increased majority- that was just the first article I found...

If I had a facebook page - which I don't, because I have too much pride in myself as an individually-thinking specimen of homo sapiens, but I digress - it would read:

To whom it may concern whether named Latham or otherwise, I am going to show resentment at the obligation forced upon me by the laws of this nation by dragging my fat @rse to the local polling booth, scowling as I force my way past the droids who insult my intelligence by shoving how-to-vote cards at me, and then drawing unrealistically large pictures of genitalia all over the ballot slips. Long live this great democratic nation!

If He didn't write the Constitution as well, then dudes would be able to marry dudes...

And with this pearler, I hope someone will one day explain what it is that everyone dislikes about Christopher Pyne:

And with this pearler, I hope someone will one day explain what it is that everyone dislikes about Christopher Pyne:

I wonder, too.
I do find his voice a little irritating on the media when I hear him, but the hostility about him seems to be out of proportion to that.
I'll form an opinion when I meet him, which I may do now he is linked up with Jamie Briggs, my local member, on the water issue.
[I've known the other one involved, Andrew Southcott, since about 1988, before he graduated in Medicine or went into politics.]
I wasn't that taken with Jamie on first meeting but he gets easier to relate to with time.

Oh, and I just found this: http://www.australiandoctor.com.au/arti ... 06bbd5.asp

Half the GP super clinics announced by Labor during the election campaign have been pledged to marginal electorates, an Australian Doctor analysis shows.
To date, Labor has announced the location of 22 extra super clinics to be built if the party is re-elected to government this Saturday.
Eleven super clinics will be located in marginal seats, five in safe Coalition seats, five in safe Labor seats, and one in a safe independent seat.
Over the weekend, Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon announced plans to spend $7 million to build a super clinic in Coffs Harbour, NSW.
Coffs Harbour is located in the marginal seat of Cowper, which the National Party holds by a slender 1.2% margin over Labor.
Labor also promised to spend $5 million for a super clinic in Darwin, which is in the marginal seat of Solomon, won by Labor in the 2007 election by only 196 votes.
And today, super clinics were promised for “inner Adelaide” (safe Labor) and Broken Hill, in remote NSW (safe Liberal).

I dislike him primarily for his column in the Sunday Mail. I haven't read the paper in a while - it was starting to make me really annoyed every time I opened it - so I don't know if he still writes it, but I'll give you an example of the sort of tripe he used to come out with. Once, he apparently spent the whole of Question Time timing Labor's responses to questions posed by Liberal party members. Whatever the outcome of that was - I believe it showed that Labor spent only half the time answering Liberal questions as opposed to questions from their own party - Christopher Pyne seemed to think it was a serious problem for Australia, because clearly short answers to questions = sneaky lying bastards wanting to run the country into the ground, and on that note he spent the second half of his column brown-nosing Malcolm Turnbull.

[Squawk]

People dislike Pyne for similar reasons to Downer I suspect. tight short curly hair and they both speak a little "plum" like.

People likewise complain about Gillard in similar terms (maybe not the plum voice but the tone, and the red hair). But so far, Chloe Fox who has similar characteristics with a plummy voice and red hair, seems to have escaped much negative attention for those characteristics.

I'd rate Pyne a long way ahead of Wilson Tuckey though, and most of the Labor Party a long way ahead of Mark Latham.

Agreed.

I wouldn't mind seeing Iron Bar go head-to-head with Latham - hopefully they could punch each other out.

That actually seems fair and equatable to me. What's the issue???

I'd rate dried up dog feces a long way ahead of Tuckey. A disgusting and vile excuse for a human being.

I wasn't that taken with Jamie on first meeting but he gets easier to relate to with time.

He must have matured......The year he played with us at Flinders Uni Cricket Club he disgraced himself.I have never met a bigger Tool in my life.Ended the year in C-grade after starting the year in A-grade on week 1.Once dropped to the lower grades he refused to score/umpire/ assist the team(A & B grade has proper umpires supplied by the association) in any way and actually sat on the "top oval" with the A-grade and asked for someone to yell over the balcony when he had to bat.
When you next catch up with Jamie please ask him what his F.U.C.C club mates think of him Pysber. I would be most interested to hear his opinion of himself and compare it to what we still think when we tell yarns about him at the club.

Chloe Fox - Careful there Squawk your'e talking about the woman I love.

Still Fish? That must be a whole six months now at least! She's a single mum these days - Carpe Diem mate!

PS have you got an SA Footy alarm that goes off everytime "Chloe Fox" is written on here?
