Anthony Callea is gay? Who'd have guessed? I know! He didn't even make the Love God's Way list --that's how I found out about Elton John . Seriously, this might have been newsworthy if it was Shannon Noll, but CrystalCallea...?

Even if he doesn't write about her I would bet, depending on how well it sells that he would use Kylie to sell it anyway. She really does have horrible taste in men.

Aw, this makes me sad. Alan Jones may be facing jail time.Wait. No. Not sad at all! This would be an excellent actually! ;D I guess he'll end up paying a fine or doing some community service but the idea of him having to serve jail time has really brightened up my afternoon.

The guy can't even spell 'schooner' correctly and he's calling us philistines. I'd be outraged if I wasn't too busy worshipping Ned Kelly and cultivating my plumber's crack.

I can't even be bothered getting upset about that. It's true that intellectual, scientific and cultural development in Australia is sacrificed at the altar of SPORTS! As long as we're good at SPORT! all is well in the world, and I deal with the general public enough in my job to know that Kath & Kim is indeed the norm. It's also my opinion that truly talented Australians need to go overseas to succeed in their chosen vocation.
I do object to the generalisations though.

I am not outraged either, he could have expressed it better but the core of the argument (that Australia is a land of Kath and Kim's) is fairly accurate. I would also say that people leave not just to get away from these people but because we are so bloodly small and the only thing between us being the arse-end of the world is New Zealand (in terms of remoteness mainly, generally I like NZ better climate, nicer people- anyway) in order to make a name for yourself is by going overseas I have a friend who is going for a PhD in Science (chem) and he has to get out of this country if he wants to get any decent work beyond that of a labrat, due to a variety of reasons including that the government doesn't give a fuck about science and neither does the population. And its not just him business grads, teachers, tech grads, nurses, law grads (I am hoping to be one of them) are all leaving. And its not just the best and brightest, its just more opportunities and often better work conditions-friends in Japan love it they get so much more respect from their bosses. Friends in Europe say the same thing, there are some bad experiences but overall the experience working overseas-even with some visa troubles is so much better. And nobody in the political sphere is even thinking about this.
My frustrations with this country meet a tipping point too often these days. If Alan Jones gets jail time though that would make me happy-how does he even have credibility any more?
Meanwhile Howard is gaining support among people under 30- What the hell generation?
