Joe Hockey pleaded with the crowd at a public address yesterday not to trivialise Australian politics by preferring to watch the MasterChef finale, to the debate between the two political leaders. (This comes from a man who raised his political profile by appearing on Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation.)
I want to have a quick glance at cause and effect here, Joe (or even 'affect' in this case). Are you accusing me of trivialising Australian politics to the point that I’d prefer to keep a dinner-date than listen to more vacuous, sound-bite drivel? Pull your giant, empty head in. And talking of empty, I’m not reserving my distaste just for you. A whole bunch of people might be really pleased that Gillard’s in, but has she actually said anything concrete yet? I might have missed it, but all I’ve heard so far is carefully managed nothings.
The one small mercy is that the election isn’t too far away.
AGA, I totally concur, and I'm fair dinkum, I'd like to move forward, forward to a date post 21 August. And speaking of boat-people, my un-husband is due to arrive in Port Jackson by sailboat sometime in the next week, please don't tell Julia or Tony. N9M xxxx
