Australia won the America's Cup once and we have never forgotten it, and for all I know we won it again, but about that I know nothing especially now I have stopped watching TV.
Though I still read politics. We had an election, the right won, and I found this commentary about the Liberals campaign launch amusing.
"Last go round with the Libs at La Montage. You guys. Once again with the symbolism pre-supplied. That's efficiency. To quote Krushchev, I will be voting for the Conservatives in the next election.
F*ck, it was alarming though, even before I was completely obliterated. The blue light, the '80s pseudo -onyx black pillars - You guys really are a bunch of tasteless suburban creeps deep down, aren't you, there's really no hope for you - and the laughter was uproarious, the energy feral. Had George Grosz been there to capture it, he would have been accused of restrained realism. Pugs and pigs in pearls and shiny suits.
I for one welcome our new orc-like masters."
Lots of people were planning to move somewhere civilized (like NZ) if Abbott won, but Rudd's achievement was to make Abbott look good.
