Slipheed yesterday alerted me to News Ltd’s Vote-a-matic calculator. I was going to post about its uselessness, limitations and general silliness but Jeremy and John Surname beat me to it. So I’ll stick to posting my results…

… and pointing out how ridiculous the minor Party leaders’ faces look in the screenshots chosen by the News Ltd. nerds who coded the calculator. Bob Brown looks like a paedophile, Steve Fielding looks like he’s taking a poo, and Lyn Allison looks like a man.

(And by the way, how the fuck does Steve Fielding deserve a place in that lineup representing nothing more than 1.9% of the total Victorian vote? Where’s the Citizens’ Electoral Council?)

A piece of perfect sense spoken by Bob Brown:

“Four years ago, Kevin Rudd got drunk and took himself into a strip club,” Senator Brown said.

“Four years ago, John Howard, sober, took Australia into the Iraq war. I think the electorate can judge which one did the more harm.”

Pretty much says it all.
