Sacha, I wish I had taken the time to ensure ‘outrageous’ came across as being said with an expansive grin. I think the problems are solvable now; I trust the Tax Office’s etax application to securely process my tax form each year and there are far worse repercussions if that was compromised than a mere stolen election.

Nice, Jacques. And Audrey’s piece is a bloody ripper, too.

I can be snarky because I am waiting for my dose of zoloft to kick in.

I actually met the certain Felicity McMahon at an L&S conference last year. Bright, good looking, studious, and very involved in the Liberal Student movement. She does come from that tedious Sydney debating world though, which tends to tilt people’s thinking around to funny angles.

Tim Blair actually doing some real journalistic reporting? I’d look closer for signs of plagarism, but I simply refuse to soil my ‘net gateway.

What utter nonsense about Andrew Landeryou. Its just a cheap attempt at trying to attract publicity. Like everything Landeryou says, take it with a grain of salt. More here if interested. http://slanderyou2.blogspot.com/

outrageous handwave over security

A fair enough observation! I really wonder if the security concerns could be satisfactorily dealt with in the next few years? Possibly not.

A mass postal ballot system is conceptually similar to internet voting – people could vote at any time up to the election day. It’d be interesting to see how this impacts on electoral advertising.

A beautiful cosmopolitan city ruined by fences. No level of politics is worth that.
