Julia Gillard Rushed To Hospital After Overdosing On Schadenfreude

Claire
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha*crying*

Claire with Rina
Well, I did have a headache until 15 minutes ago, and then St Turnbull Silverback cured the hell out of it.
Claire
Changing the man changeth not the Policies nor the Cabinet nor the Party *still crying* no headache though ...

It's on! But can this mystery potato save Australia from Tony Abbott? | First Dog on the Moon
How long will the torment of this government last? It’s no longer about our smug enjoyment of someone else’s plummet from grace ... this is real!

Liberal MPs Consult Bill Shorten On Proper 'Knifing A Leader' Technique
A group of disgruntled Government back benchers has sought a meeting with opposition leader Bill Shorten to seek advice on what technique is best used

I'm going to be in my bunk ...
Netflix and Spill

Claire shared Malcolm Turnbull's video.
*hnnng* how generous IS your social welfare net Malcolm?
The only way that we will remain a high wage, generous social welfare net, first-world society is if we have outstanding economic leadership

The Silver Fox rises...
Claire
Many things are rising alongside him ... mainly blushes and giggles ... but also the niggling feeling that the right wing of the LNP still exist, and he may have to make some intolerable concessions to keep them at bay ...

The One True Leader ‪#‎libspill‬ ‪#‎primechinister‬ ‪#‎chinspirational‬

Listening to Sky News on the leadership spill, it's kinda hilarious because they just announced that Peter Dutton is being put forward as the deputy leader for an Abbott Ticket.

Oh noes, Joe Hockey is trying to save his Captain, and doing an amazing job of destroying any last hope.

A live LNP Night of the Long Knives is very entertaining to listen to.
Claire
Cormann is speaking; I will never be tired of hearing him say LNP things in his accent.

Julie Bishop is running as Malcolm Turnbull's deputy in the spill and this video will always be relevant ...

"I think if she (Julie Bishop) got up there (Liberal Leadership) she would keep them in line so well ... and I like Liberal Ladies in Linen."

Chat and Rap: Julie Bishop or Liberal Ladies (in Linen)



Just to remind everyone that Leaders (even Liberal Leaders) change all the time:

Big Girls Blouse - Liberal Women at the Polling Booth

The Liberals-loving women get their chance to shine at the local polling booth on election day. Whoever is the Liberal leader though?

Claire
Julie is in the ROOM!

Oh My Furiosa this is fun!

Here comes the Abbott Posse! That is a lot of people I will be very glad to see gone ...

Commentators looking positively delighted that Bernardi may go postal if Turnbull becomes leader; the Australian Satirist Community will be happy with that.

My call is Malcolm Caesar, to be honest.

Currently trying to work out the puns I will be posting when the Whip emerges and when the Prime Minister is announced.
Claire
Commentators linking stories in Newscorp papers; so, uh, is this Murdoch?

Oh shit!

Whip It Good.

Malcolm has totally gone Glencoe on Abbott!

The Two Silvertails are in Charge now; Turnbull and Bishop, what a day.
I need a cup of tea and a goddamn night in my bunk.

Julie Bishop's reign as the actual Leader of the Liberal Party continues.
Claire
Julia Gillard's night has been made in a very big way.

Please PM Silverback, please let me go back to being a Historian of Fascism, not a Commentator on Fascism.

And the real Leader of the Liberal Party, Julie Bishop, strides on in her High Heels of Destiny ...

A wealthy white guy wearing a blue tie and suit has been replaced by another wealthy white guy wearing a blue tie and suit.

“Let me assure you that things will be different under my leadership,” the newest white guy wearing a blue tie and suit stated. “Sure, I’m also a Rhodes Scholar who has previously worked in journalism, but I’m going to be a very different leader. All of the ties that I wear will be a slightly darker shade of blue and all of the onions I eat will be cooked.”
Claire

I am feeling both directionless and ... free?

Australian Women Left Directionless After Minister For Women Loses Job – The Shovel
Australian’s women are desperate for guidance and uncertain of their future today, after the nation’s highest female representative, Tony Abbott, was forced to stand down.

Julie has been the real Leader of the Liberal Party for eight years now because she bathes in the tears of men who used to be "Leaders" of the Liberal Party.

Julie Bishop Refuses to Rule out Devouring Tony Abbott’s Still-Beating Heart
Claire
Now is the Summer of our Malcolmtent, made Glorious Leader by this Lady Bishop.

Dear Tony

The last two years with you were scary, but inspiring.
You terrified me with your casual Catholic Fascism, but that terror did prompt me to write some of the best blog posts of my short life.
This is my scrapbook of our first twelve months together.
Thanks(?) for the memories(?)

September 2013
The first twelve months with "Not Even One Term" Tones were tumultuous - enjoy the scrapbook.
Claire
*phew* from 13 September 2013
Claire
Oh Archaic and Anachronistic Abbott, the Revolution Reluctantly loves you because you make it all so very, very easy.

Who is the real Leader of the Liberal Party?

Tim Watts MP's photo.
Behind every leader of the Turnbull-Abbott-Turnbull Liberal Party stands the same extreme, out of touch party room.

THE LAST WORD - I am convinced Julie is the real leader

Trust me, they know the climate science Let’s imagine for a moment that the 1% of Australia, with their university degrees, access to the best climate science and neoliberal think tank papers and their dominance in politics, were acting in rational self-interest. They know that the water and energy wars are coming and they have a country with unique assets: No land borders Renewable energy resources Space and minerals Industries that specialise in extracting minerals Industries that can be turned to R&D and manufacturing An education system to get citizens to the point of carrying out necessary R&D And a politically apathetic population that believes whatever the politicians tell them through monopolised and crippled information outlets. To be honest, if I were a conservative politician in Australia (and the way I was brought up, I may as well be), this is what I would do to ensure my political and social survival: I would claim the government didn’t believe i

Real People and Sex

EDITED: Edited for correct and current use of language on 9 March 2015, thanks to the followers and admins at One Billon Rising Australia . The most important thing to acknowledge is that even when trying to argue that we think about sex in an unhealthy manner, I used words that encouraged the same unhealthy attitude. It's all around us, this language that judges only one person in the multi-person act of sex. The second thing to acknowledge is that eighteen months of reading a lot of women's writing from all over the world, and eighteen months of a lot of experience with and thinking about sex, does tend to change a woman! For example, my first mainstream publication, all about sexual practice, that you can read right here . I had a very illuminating conversation a few weeks ago with a friend in which we discussed a character in a play. The character was a prostitute sex worker and the action for her character in the narrative revolved around her picking up a client i
