I just heard some kind of millipede caused a train wreck there in Australia. What the hell is going on down there?

Feeling quite disillusioned with it all today. How many backwards steps will happen over the next few years? This feels like a giant missed opportunity to take Australia into a bright future. Too many points to make on my phone but I hate this empty feeling.

For anyone else experiencing grief this morning. I'm currently in Stage 3 - Bargaining. How about Labor and the Greens come up with the policies and we let the Libs implement them - everybody wins!?

I'm ambivalent about Abbott but I'm pretty chuffed to have Hockey, Turnbull, Brandis and Sinodinos in government. The Liberal Democrats picking up a senate seat in NSW is incredible.

i'm also chuffed with not having so much money, continuing and (finger's crossed) increasing media bias, no more of these pesky tasmanian heritage forests, less rights at work, less tolerance for all these boat people that come and steal our jobs but are also all on welfare, more money and less tax for all those lovely rich people who need more power. really chuffed. so sick of all this comfortable living.
