Well all the assignments are done and submitted, and I can finally push pressure groups, party politics, electoral systems and Australia’s foreign aid program out of my head. Till exams begin in two weeks anyway. I just thought I would jump in an reaffirm my commitment to this outlet!
Perhaps a little humorous observation to get the ball rolling, has anyone else casually noticed that many of the recipes for the “alcopops” so heavily regulated recently were devised during the infamous “prohibition” era in the US as a means to disguise the fact people were drinking alcohol?
I think the irony is lost on the Rudd government.
Good to see you back, good luck with it all Seb, study hard and long, you can sleep after the exams. Easy for me to say i know, but been there done that. Hang in there ok.
As for the alcopops, what a joke that turned out to be, Rudd and his band of idiots are slowly being mocked into admitting they’ve made the problem worse, kids are now hitting the hard stuff, stronger wines and lots of other crap to get around their stupid tax. Not that they’re looking like they’ll scrap it, they’ll probably increase taxes on other drinks too, which is what they really wanted, just extra money coming in.
