Where can I hide for the next eight months?

[Sebastiaan56]

I all seriousness we are about to be subjected to a continual eight months of propaganda, blame shifting, embarrassing gaffs by back benchers, name calling, and deep dark history being uncovered to create ever more elaborate smears. Then there will be the massive lies and recriminations, rumours of infights and leadership spills, endless polls and commentary. All of this spew will come from the major parties with their well oiled spin machines and certainly in large quantities. So the real question will be "where can a bloke hide?".

I was going to set up my blankie tent in the living room and get my crayons out, or refurb the shed, grab my timber stash and lock the door. But I will still need to get out for food and beers, conjugal visits, relationships with the kids, earn a living etc, etc.

Where to hide brains trust? where to hide?

And this would be different to the last two years how exactly?

Don't turn telly or radio on? It will be torture for me too. I just wish they would actually do their job. And please no one start trying to tell me Abbot would do a better job. He is a jumped up little *^%$^&.

Fortunately we will be overseas for six weeks of it but will be PITA for the rest of the time.

So, ah, does that mean his wife's campaign to imbue the women of Oz that Tony really does love you all hasn't worked for you TL?

*^%$^& is a six letter word, and I can't think of a match (even with my rather errr, "rich" vernacular).

EDIT: waidaminit, think I might have it, ends in "ker"

[Sturdee]

Maybe, but I'll vote for him for at his worst he is a thousand times better then the current lot.

Where to hide?

There is no place to hide - they will find you! They will hunt you down faster than a telemarketer on a bonus scheme.


No matter what you do; no matter where you go; no matter who you are - they will get you.

There is no hiding; no shelter is tough enough to sustain the battering that will come.

Prepare for the worst: budgy smugglers and ordin-airy orstraleeans;
pork barrelling on a scale to make deliverance look like a walk in the park;
smears enough to keep iced Vo Vo's covered in jam until the next century.

We are approaching armageddon, ladies and gentlemen, and just when you thought it safe to peek out of the fallout shelter - the politicians will start their perfectly polished performances, honed from years of pretending they haven't had their noses stuffed well and truly in the trough of the public monies.

And then it will start to get bad........


It is time to be afraid.

Be very afraid
mwahahahahahaha

Seb,
I'm retired now as well.... seems to be a trend.
Up in the bush, there are no politicians, there are only fires and floods and poor market prices, life is too difficult for farmers to get het up about Canberra.
In the old days, the fences and farm infrastructure would be covered by income, now there is no income, and I can't get slaves or cheap Chinese labour.

SO.... I have fencing, I have roofs to repair, I have weeds to spray, I have fires to light in Spring, I have cattle to brand and timber to harvest.
Come Come. No TV, No radio, No politicians and in exchange for post holes... you get free beer. I'll look after you.

Very tempting, Greg, except I don't drink beer.

OK. Some time in August then? You can pay me in wood.

[Greg Ward]

Bring the trailer and a shovel and curry paste.
For those who don't drink beer, there will be wine or oranges and figs to crush
For those who don't eat beef, there will be tomatoes and celery sticks to chew on,
For those who can't dig holes there will be tractors to drive around spraying parramatta grass and bracken
Fo those who want to wash there is a waterfall
For those who want to play with wood there are enough trees to carbon credit NSW for a year
And for those who just want to be alone, there is a mountain to climb.
And in October you can all go home and I'll have some nice new shed roofs and fences that will last me out.

You can't unless he's your local member Peter
ps member is a nice euphemism
