I can’t believe it’s not WorkChoices!

It still is WorkChoices of course, but now you get a kiss before you get fucked.
At least we’ll be spared Joe Cocker this time – the ad campaign to come sounds positively Amish.

I can’t get past this – how can they ban the name of the actual amendment!
This is making me all the more frustrated as I just handed in an essay on it…

The tone of that article was so bizarre – Howard talking about having ‘no spin’ in the advertising campaign…

Firstly where the hell did you find that photo of the nice lady with the knives? & secondly the oz article has a link to now infamous McLeods Daughter AWA moment (no telly in this house) & I’m trying not to go nah nah in Hockey’s direction. OFI – nah nah. A small cartwheel is in order.

Ah, Crit, it’s because the Government is being responsive to community concerns, and just providing information. The more cynical among us are not suprised to see this fairly minor backdown fulfilling that function.
The Workplace Information line lady, Bernice, is brought to you by the wonders of Google image. But do take care googling “housewife” with the safe search off; I used “vintage housewife” instead.

hi Zoe, long time no comment because I am Teh Slackness…
I must tell y’all about a friend of ours who wrote to Heffernan tearing him another orifice (in a very polite way of course) about the Gillard Debacle. she picked up the phone the other day and… it was Bill Heffernan, thanking her for the letter and apologising. She was gobsmacked but still managed to put the boot in over the phone as well. part of her letter had talked about ‘bonding around the nappy bucket’ and at the end of the phone call apparently The Heff said, “Well, I’m off back to the nappy bucket.”
(apologies Sar, if you’re out there and I got something wrong, but I couldn’t help sharing)

What a great photo! Do you think she cut her own fringe — with one of those implements?

Here’s an idea for them.
“Liberal paradise”?
