Australian elections

[g.maclennan@xxxxxxxxxx]

Comrades,

I am sitting here in my office on a Sunday because I cannot bear to leave
cyber space for reality.  Last nite here in Queensland the conservative
parties won state government.

They defeated a right wing Labor government in a by election and won
governemnt as a consequence.

so once more we are back under the yoke of the rural idiots.  Qld is the
most decentralised of Australian states and has long been backward with a
conservative rural Party (The Nationals) dominating politics.
Worse Qld is proud of its rural idiocy.  It has pulled down its pants and
flashed a brown eye at the progressive movement.  It has elected a
intellectually challenged small business man as the representative for
the rural city of Townsville.

Now the racists and homophobes are back in office. the working class too
will now be subject to even more attacks.

I CANT STAND IT.

I will regroup by ignoring the News for about 6 months.  Then I should
have the strength to write a piece on the Australian Labor Party.


Regards

Gary
