To borrow from the accountably forgotten Greek philosopher Effie Stephanidis, “How embarrassment!” One wonders how the souteneurs of le hashtag #WheresAlbo lived with the disgrace of shitting the bed in such a spectacularly public fashion? After all, the very purpose of a hashtag is to draw attention to the tagged but not, in the usual run of things, to the tagger, sitting in their jimjams, covered in a frosting of their own chocolate pickles.
For mine, the worst aspect of the whole affair was that ABC RN spent dozens of minutes that morning, discussing said hot takes with some News-corp talking head (I forget which one).
Oh, auntie. I know you're ninety, but you should just ignore them. They'll go away eventually.
This whole Where's Albo thing is staggering. It's such an own goal because all it did was bring attention to...
1) Firstly Albo was actually working. Not sipping Pna coladas in Hawaii.
2) A large chuck of what Albo was doing was either repairing damage the previous govt had done or dealing with the consequences the previous govt helped bring about such as China in the Pacific, which even has NATO worried now.
3) The fact that unlike the previous PM who widely disregarded, and seen as a useless twat by the international community, the current PM seems to have some standing abroad.
4) The current are part of something previous govt said didn't matter much or didn't exist.
How long before Australians and the press give him the full Julia Gillard I wonder.? I'm still cringing every time I recall that. No one that I know has ever achieved so much and kept smiling while they were so viciously attacked. Except the Kalgoorlie pipe line bloke. He really copped it. And he didn't keep smiling long enough.
“Talked to a Murdoch journalist at funeral and he said they will go hard on racism for next 3 years.
Try to fuck up the statement from the heart using Warren Mundine, Jacinta Price, Noel Pearson and Lydia Thorpe to spread dissent and division and then dog whistle to the Aussie racist tendency to fuck us all.
Really that is the truth. I am still thinking of how I will deal.”
The irony never ends. Scummo and his Merry Band of Corruptioneers destroy Australia's relations with Europe, China and the Pacific - quite an achievement! - to the point the incoming PM has to scramble around the world starting to apply the bandaids. A bunch of mouth-breathing NeoCon Twirtelosers then lambast said new PM for the carbon budget - something their heroes spent a decade not believing in while in office. Brilliant Doublethink.
Now that Lachlan Murdoch and Bruce Gordon, have deliberately bankrupted Channel 10, News Corp now has a television station, beaming right into your living rooms soon. Should Peta Credlin become the host of the morning show, the resurrection of the Hash Tag WHERES ALBO, may well be resurrected in an attempt to entice him to appear before the denizen of Dunsinane Wood.
Oh man. Well worth the wait!
Excellent JB. Also have just encountered prosecutor-major Skomo in your latest tome. Well played Sir!

Nice forensics on the hashtag.
