For anyone who doesn't know, Tony Abbot == George Bush Jr.

He's incredible repugnant & stupid. It is definitely damning when someone like him actually could get elected. What a time to live in...

I for one, am leaving. Wasn't born here anyway, if I'm not careful they'll consider me fishing in the river in my tinny "illegal boat person", etc. sigh. What happened? :(

Globalisation of western politics? IDK but I feel like every single country is trying to emulate each other; Particularly America. I personally would like to leave but because of the absurd immigration policies of the countries I'd prefer, I cannot afford to leave or scared to go through some arduous transfer. Why does everything have to have this bureaucratic boloney in the way?

I just want to be somewhere that doesn't have some group thinking they are at war with some people for some reason. So they then can repress/punish/victimise them for some form of gain (power, greed, jealousy, stupidity, etc). All the while they do this under the guise of their morality to protect their people.

A man can dream.

Like him or not, the documents were dated 2009 so at least part of this took place during the Rudd era. So I gather that makes Rudd, Dick Cheney ;).
