5 pages of political bullshit. We need a seperate political WTF thread. Let this one get back to the fun of wierd sex acts with a fork and brill cream.
I think we need a *ankers section on Nicks for these kind of threads with their long winded posts.

Tannin wrote:Centre? The Liberals? What are you smokin? The Liberal Party has long since expelled or otherwise got rid of all its centrists and has lurched dramatically to the far right, Tea Party style, especially at federal level but at state level too. But the Labor Party has indeed drifted into the centre - it did this under Hawke and Keating - but failed to arrest its continued drift and now occupies the centre-right position which was once the preserve of the Liberal Party under leaders like Fraser, Peacock, Hewson and the late Dick Hamer. This is why Labor is in existential crisis: they don't stand for anything in particular anymore and their core supporters have lost interest in them.
On the left there is a massive vacuum. Some say the Greens have moved into that space, but no real left-winger takes the Greens as serious lefties: the Greens have carved out their own space in the socially "progressive" sphere but don't take their mildly leftish-tinged economic policies half so seriously as they take their core value policies, which don't sit in any particular place on the left-right spectrum. Things like humane treatment of refugees and preserving what's left of the environment and building livable cities have nothing to do with left and right, they are just human values which can be and are both supported and opposed by many individuals of many different political persuasions.
The Liberals are taxing and spending even more that Labor did before them. They're certainly not representing the economic 'Right' in any way. Sure they help out business, it's their core constituency, but I'm not seeing much in the way of economic conservativism, despite the hot air coming out of Joe Hockey.
I mean this paid parental scheme is one straight out of a European Social Democrat handbook. The problem for you Tannin is one of perspective. You see yourself as a moderate I'm sure, but I wouldn't be the only one that puts out quite firmly to the left, probably as far left as the Socialist Alternative crowd. You think anything to the right of that is RIGHT WING LOONY, but there's a fair lot of 'centre' there. Labor and Liberal are both Centre Left parties when it comes to government taxing and spending and Centre Right when it comes to social policy. Australia is one of the most socialist countries in the world.

Maybe a tl;dr sub forum.
Probably better imagine the google searchers with a *ankers forum.
OK, Back to WTF and use politics as a suppository.
Walk to work day.
Seriously, WTF? Who actually lives close enough to work to walk there and drives? What a fkn inner city NFI dickwad idea. Those are the only douche nozzles I can picture getting the tram 2 stops instead of walking the 300 metres to the organic kumquat cannery.
Work is over 30km away for me. 50 minutes each way by car, it would take nearly 2 hours by public transport.
Concept isn't bad in one way, tell all those lazy inner city (mates with) to do something remotely physical but talk about a niche.
Mate the way the freeway has been the last 2 days I coulda walked there faster! Another crash this morning, so I went the back way, playing chicken with the morning truckies, good fun!
But no more early starts for me, the powers that be came and checked the place out, and they didn't pick one thing! So we just gotta clear our tools and a few bits and bobs we haven't sold yet, and good to go! Macmillans books is no more in Melbourne anyway!
But I get wot u mean! So did you park 2 spots over?!
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

Excuses, excuses. Just tell them you'll be a day late for work
