Brisbane Visit

I fly into the sunny city of Brisbane this evening, and return next Tuesday night - with an empty wallet, and a sore head and liver. I might even vote in the QLD election this Saturday. 'Til next week.

Back to der Vaterland, ja?

What's the point of voting? We all know King-Emperor Beattie is in for another glorious ten years.

The excitement is palpable.

Somebody once claimed that every vote counts. I believe federally Brisbane is a swinging seat. Probably not for state elections.

Is it me, or does he just come across as a complete idiot?

Dalai's grandad had to have his surgery post-poned because the goverment had to "free up" funds for the election. Can't be right.

Oh, no arguments there. If the Coalition wasn't so criminally incompetent at campaigning Beattie might actually feel like he had to put a bit of an effort into governing.

But with a booming state economy, flush with generous GST funding (subsidised by NSW and Victoria), running Queensland these days requires no more than two brain cells.

Hey out of complete and utter laziness, what's the flight setting you back?

And did you book in advance to get such a sparklingly good deal?

100 each way, including taxes. Nothing special. Just booked a month ahead.

The island nation of Singapore runs their country on "recycled piss", Grogs. You could use it in your kidney dialysis machine. Astronauts have been drinking it for years.

The amount of fertiliser and dead cows in your local reservoir is frightening. Luckily for Toowoomba, they won't have a reservoir soon...

I had no idea what address I was enrolled at for this vote thingy, so I called up the AEC this morning, and they say I'm not on the roll anymore, as people at one of my old address said I don't live there anymore! No voting for me, suckers!!!
