  1. High levels of generalised anger.
  2. @redrabbleroz @oz_f @melissacbrooks I don't think Mel and I could do it - we have oztag at 8:30 and will be avoiding alcohol before that.
  3. @kymtje @bronya_l now that's a mighty good idea.
  4. At the last federal election there was a booth in Barton called 'North Bexley North'.
  5. @bronya_l @oz_f I think we have consensus.
  6. @liamvhogan @redrabbleroz I mean the way they manage their internal affairs. I was never bullied but I saw many friends in NLS suffer it.
  7. @adam_chal @oz_f it's always been the NLS way. Like other dodgy things has been adopted by the "left".
  8. @redrabbleroz not in general. I was surprised that "grassroots" has adopted the worst NLS tactics of bullying, intimidation and control.
  9. @prestontowers @Starbuck_K Deadwood.
  10. @oz_f from what I hear pretty much everyone I student politics these days is a "liberal".
  11. So it turns out student politics is just as devoid of morals and a waste of time as I remembered it.
  12. @redrabbleroz @luisaliving the BBC translations?
  13. So I referred to our wedding day as "election day". So sue me.
  14. @prestontowers @GeoffPolHist @mumbletwits my mum taught his son. Both were Macarthur Greens members.
  15. @prestontowers @GeoffPolHist @mumbletwits most friendly to Greens would be likes of David Borger and Andrew McD, in upper house Linda Voltz.
  16. @prestontowers @GeoffPolHist @mumbletwits interestingly Andrew McDonald was a Greens member before Iemma offered him a safe seat.
  17. @prestontowers @GeoffPolHist @mumbletwits Harry Quick was very friendly to Greens before retirement then joined and almost ran for Tas LC.
  18. @prestontowers @GeoffPolHist @mumbletwits it has happened with former grassroots members but not many further up.
