'Poor on the North Shore, or six degrees of separation'
So people on the North Shore are complaining about how poor and daggy they are, even compared to “The Western suburbs (which) have that bohemian élan, with the endless rows of charming terraces, markets selling scented candles, and the fact that its got the market cornered in “cuisines of the world””. Also how hard transport is for them.
LOL OK. Forgive me for not crying for your plight, and forgive me for choking on your idealised view of the West, when you’re all-too-eager to condemn us as the criminal unwashed whenever it suits you.
Just, no. Stop.

Anti-choicers ruin everything, without fail.
Tonight, Tony Abbott was on a talk-show program we were watching and my mother was like: “He is such a dick, I can’t bear to watch him. Can we turn this off? I’m turning it off”
And I said: “Mum no, you have to know your enemy! I want to hear about what part of the government he wants to excise!”
Then she said: “He hasn’t said anything. He’s spent 5 minutes saying nothing.”
That was a fair point, so we changed the channel and watched Mythbusters instead.

France, Japan and Australia rated best and the United States worst in new rankings focusing on preventable deaths due to treatable conditions in 19 leading industrialized nations, researchers said on Tuesday.
If the U.S. health care system performed as well as those of those top three countries, there would be 101,000 fewer deaths in the United States per year, according to researchers writing in the journal Health Affairs.
Researchers Ellen Nolte and Martin McKee of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine tracked deaths that they deemed could have been prevented by access to timely and effective health care, and ranked nations on how they did.
They called such deaths an important way to gauge the performance of a country’s health care system.

In the final day of a bitter Election Campaign in Queensland, and a Twittersphere full of bitterness and occasionally personal hatred towards politicians, it is worth at times reflecting that they too are subject to the human condition.
