Maybe Next Time

November 26, 2007

I missed this one on election day, but one of my mates actually got handed a how to vote card from Kev when he went to vote - apparently whoever was handing out these HTVs were as pissed as crickets before lunch.

Stirling HoR Results

November 25, 2007

I finished 5th of 9 candidates in the Stirling HoR election.

LDP Queensland Senate Candidate John Humphreys - a non-smoker - has pledged to take up smoking for the duration of the election campaign.
I already enjoy drinking and playing poker and make no apologies. While I’m not a smoker, I certainly stand up for the right of people to smoke without being hassled or made into [...]

November 1, 2007

(crossposted on my campaign blog)
A religious group, The Australian Christian Lobby, recently sent out a questionnaire to parties running in the upcoming election on a range of political issues . Many of the questions, predictably, are related to issues considered important by Christians, but they are questions that most people have an opinion on nevertheless.

I am standing in the seat of Stirling for the LDP.
All political blogging will take place at my campaign site for the near future.

ALF Destroys Scientist’s House

More hijinks from these Oxygen Thieves:
An animal rights group says it flooded the home of a University of California, Los Angeles professor who carries out research on monkeys.
The FBI says the Animal Liberation Front is claiming it used a garden hose to flood the house of Edythe London on October 20.
The incident is being investigated [...]
