I don’t know how to say this, but he’s got mine too at this stage.

I feel dirty.

You’d probably pick up my vote too, with policies like that…

As far as mottos are concerned, I was thinking something more along the lines of “Honesty, fairness and transparency, ’cause I’m sick of the bullshit, too!” Though the use of the word “bullshit” would no doubt have the talkback lines lighting up like a Christmas tree. Ironic, considering that I’d implement policies to reward those who’ve served this country their whole lives and deserve to have a cup of tea and a lie down without having to worry about sharing the dog’s food, yet, it’d be these same people who’d vote against me in droves. All because of my stance on many “controversial” issues… “Yes, I support voluntary euthanasia, but I’m also ensuring our hospitals are well staffed and health care remains free to all, irrespective of income. Yes, I’m pro-choice in regards to abortion, but I’m also implementing massive education programmes on safe sex which would see less teen pregnancy and a more responsible attitude to sex. Yes, I’m pro-union, but I’m also a realist and will encourage unions and employers to work together, ensuring a true balance and better conditions and pay for all Australians. I would implement PAYG income tax system where everyone earning over $25,000 a year, pays 33% tax, irrespective of income. You earned $1,000,000? Well, sorry mate but $333,333 is coming back to the government to ensure all Australians receive free, quality education and health care. Yes, even tertiary education will be free.”
I’m getting carried away now, but I should so write my manifesto of the way this country should be run…

Maybe so, but at least I’ll be doing my part by making the tea and fluffing up your pillows. I’ll do what I can, let no man say that I won’t…unless my back’s playing up.

Did you just boo me? When the revolution comes, Grum, and it will come, and when we’re figuratively storming the Bastille, you’ll be the first one to say “sorry fellas, back’s playing up, go on without me, I’ll be here making cups of tea for when you’re done with the beheadings and lynchings”…

What? Booooo!

If you’re not implying it, then I am. I’ll get my hammer.

I’m not implying we have a bloody revolution and start beheading politicians, all I’m saying is that most Australians have had enough and when the last few stragglers realise that no matter who they vote for, they’re getting screwed, something’s going to give. All it’ll take is a couple of Malcolm X’s or Martin Luther King’s who have the conviction and, more importantly, the courage to stand against the gross injustices of our so-called democracy. Like that shit movie said, “build it and they will come”.
