Real or unreal?
Again, just the opinion of an outsider Aussie here. I wonder how I’d feel if I were American, but I think most of the people I read here are, so it’s cool seeing different views. I don’t actual...
R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II
I exclaimed, “Oh Lizzy!” out loud when I turned on the TV this morning. I think I’m more shocked at how quickly it happened. When I went to bed last night, the word was that her health had dete...
Fuck QLD Health
I haven’t been good mentally. Scarily serious depression yesterday. It’s ironic being in an east-coast state not in lockdown, but it’s been brought on by being disheartened at not being able to...
U.S. Election
I’m not going to do into details, and I’m writing this before there is a clear result, but I just wanted to write how proud I am seeing the voter-turnout in this election. Being Aussie, it’s alw...
We're SO Close! / Edit - I'm Equal
Omg I was TORN today as to whether I wanted to fly down to Canberra today for probably the most historic day politically in my lifetime. I was on both airline websites and hotel websites, SO clo...
Sorry not sorry #NoVoters
Some of the preliminary results have come in about the SSM survey here in Australia and it’s looking pretty good. The ABS says that around 60% of eligible voters have returned their forms, whic...
This is fucked up
I’ve blocked my mother and my little brother from my Facebook. No real trigger for doing so, other than their silence. I’m sick of being taken for a ride, pretending everything is okay and fine...
Groundhog Day in Australian politics
Right. I watched the press conference this morning from our PM and the finance minister, who explained how all of this is going to work (or not work). As I already mentioned, they are putting t...
Another pollie rant
Not much point reading this, it’s just me ranting about how fucking useless our federal government is. Like, it’s actually hilarious at how bad it is, and that something as simple as this seems t...
Marriage Amendment Definition and Religious Freedom Bill 2017
I’m just posting this here, because it could potentially be historical. Or a dud. You know what this current government is like lol. http://cdn.fbsbx.com/v/t59.2708-21/20272241_1015558700808910...
Brexit
I’m quite surprised by the ‘Brexit’ referendum results. So many people seem to be pretty upset about it. I don’t think it’s the end of the world though. Who knows. It’s been cool following th...
"Very straight-forward"
“The question every Australian will be asked will be “very straightforward,” says the Prime Minister today.” Very STRAIGHT-forward. Hmmmm.... yes. I still don’t trust people. I think the quest...
QLD age of consent laws
QLD to lower age of consent laws So this was huge news to read this morning. Let’s go back to a time, many moons ago, where I was a young 18 year old. My very first boyfriend at the time was 16 ...
Well of course she does ;)
lol
The laughing stock of Australian politics
Man, have people been blowing up or WHAT on Facebook lately over the latest Prime Minster back-stabbing incident? You’d think we’d be used to it by now :D I mean, we’ve only had 4 Prime Ministers...
A new PM!
Ohhh talk about a SIGH OF RELIEF. Today there was a leadership spill (FINALLY) within the liberal party (much like there was in the Labor party - so the Australian political system must be the la...
Dog-shit PM
I badly photo-shopped a meme I saw today, in regards to my views on our Prime Minister rejecting allowing his MP’s a conscious vote on same-sex marriage.
Can we swap leaders, please?
Today, President Obama announced his green energy plan by putting a cap on carbon emissions, at least from what I understand of it. Meanwhile, our Prime Minster said that “Climate change is crap,...
