family first polled under four percent in virtually every electorate, I think they only broke 4%in like three seats, the rest was a write off, $500+ bucks a throw.
They’ll be stinging from that for a while, hopfully it will make it just that little bit harder to get up after their most recent trip to the canvas.

[...] Jemma Tribe, Family First for Cunningham, polled half a percentage point less than her party’s national average with 1.48% of the primary vote. If she was Steve Fielding, and with numbers like that, she’d be sitting in Parliament right now. [...]

I want to know more about this whiz-bang policy of allowing first-home buyers to claim their mortgage repayments as a tax deduction, “just like investors”. From what I hear, investors can only claim the difference between rental income and mortgage expenditure – so how are they going to calculate how much first-home owners can claim?

I finally got around to watching it – tap!

In other news, Josh “My Goal is to see Individual Human Beings Reach Their Full Potential” Reid has a feature film script in “development”. Can’t wait to see it!

I should be careful what I wish for. I bitch about director Josh Reid’s failure to use page-turn transitions and BAM! he comes through with page-turns, star wipes, and every other hideous transition known to the human race.

Was anyone else thinking: “Charlie the Wonderdog–is there anything he can’t do?/Running, jumping, making us laugh/Charlie we love you!”

And was anyone else thinking, re: the genie . . .”Does Daryl Somers know you’re wearing his jumper?” (Another blatant Late Show reference)

Perfect production and ‘hot chick’.
How do you fight that, Greens ?

Oh god, that video from the update. My eyes! I like the backhanded insults from “moviegirl”: “Great film! A great start! I like it. A few errors like editing and acting, but all is a well done for the first timer! I remember I made my first film – so much worse than yours! Well done!”

Couldn’t resist adding an even bitchier comment of my own: “Yeah! Awesome! Apart from a few errors like editing, acting, directing, writing, and pretty much everything to do with the film, it’s great! I’ve seen moviegirl’s first effort, and she’s right, it WAS even worse than yours! So it is possible. Bravo.”

No, seriously, he should’ve taken his misgivings and NOT uploaded that for people to see.

“Um .. didn’t Fielding vote for WorkChoices? Doesn’t that kind of undermine his argument?”

Actually, he voted against it, because the government already had all the votes it needed and this way he could differentiate himself without pissing them off.

However, whenever the Libs have been short a vote, Fielding has come to the plate for them.

By the way, the word “family” is said nine times (excluding the phrase “Family First”) during the video.

And just another of my favourite bits: “Family values equal Australian values.”

Words cannot express my distaste for everything that Family First stands for (ie. freedom from freedom, as Bruce so brilliantly points out.)

Yeah, and that wouldn’t be absorbed by the petrol companies within months, Jemma.

Hmmm… You don’t want it Fed. Govt? I’ll eat it up if you aren’t going to finish it.

That was amusing. I particularly enjoyed the One Nation style idiocy of the 10c/litre tax cut on petrol promise. Yeah, and that wouldn’t be absorbed by the petrol companies within months, Jemma.

I thought it was a hoot she managed to put in a Glorio Jeans product placement. The owner of the coffee empire is number 2 in the AOG hierarchy.

Most experts agree that the Govt will lose its majority (aka majority -1 + Fielding) in the senate? So the Govt will be bound to someone else when they win (Labor, Dem, GREENS! :-0 Gay Heroin Overdose)? That kinda infers that they will keep the lower house in the election…

Has she been listening to Danny Nalliah?

Nice also how she talks about a current “loud minority” that dictates the political agenda. Has she fallen on her head and mistook the Govt “senate majority” for something else? A big imaginary Greens threat?

Or does she just mean Fielding? Sounds more like a confession to me.

But seriously, it’s dead obvious she is talking about “those people who aren’t hurting anyone but insist on doing what they like in the privacy of their own home”. AKA, TEH GAYS, Atheists, pagans, Mussies, insert-outgroup-X-here!

Now I’m just going to have to get all sarcastic and play along with the dogwhistle.

Clearly these minorities need to realise that they have a God given freedom to do whatever FF tells them to do in the privacy of their home. Like freedom from sin, freedom from homosexuality, freedom from the tribulations of a life without explicit leadership from those who know more about your personal wellbeing and liberty than you do yourself … You know! Freedom from freedom!

Hey! That’s what FFP stands for! The Freedom from Freedom Party!

[Sarcasm ends]

Theofascist toads.
