election time...

the australian elections are but a week and a half off. being in london, we get to vote a little early, so tomorrow i'm heading down to australia house to cast my vote against mr sheen, and hopefully restore some sanity into australian politics.

not going into this too much, except to say, if you ever need a reason to vote howard out, here it is:


John Howard Lie #9

"There'll be no more than a 1.9% rise in ordinary beer."
John Howard, John Laws Program, 23 September 1998

The Truth:

The price of beer rose 4.8 per cent in the September quarter
following the introduction of the GST on 1 July 2000, and was 8.5 per
cent higher than the same time the previous year.
