I’ll drink to that.

My groceries, just gone.
Anonymous asked: Isn't it funny how the Greens spend so much time talking about the ALP? *talks about the Greens on Twitter all night*
They started it.
Anonymous asked: Are you in love with Geoffrey from Please Like Me?
I only saw one episode, and I wasn’t a big fan, so I have no idea who that is.
Anonymous asked: It was actually quite sweet, the way you shifted back to camp Gillard when Rudd lost. I just feel sorry for people who will suffer under Abbott because some in the ALP can't swallow their pride. I doubt it will be forgotten anytime soon that the ALP chose to ultimately hurt those they claim to fight for, over acknowledging how flawed they are.
I want to see federal Labor re-elected, and the best way that we can all do that is to get behind PM Gillard. I have never had anything against her as a person, and think she is broadly doing a good job - this government has a positive message to sell, and I look forward to working as hard as I can to get that message out to as many people as possible before September 14.
This is outstanding. (although that isn’t the Supreme Court).

Anonymous asked: Do you find heterosexual sex disgusting?
I don’t give it a great deal of thought, but no I don’t find it ‘disgusting.’ It obviously isn’t my thing but that doesn’t mean that it should be labelled as ‘disgusting’ or anything else of that nature.
Anonymous asked: If any of the other members of the ALP caucus apart from Julia Gillard or Kevin Rudd could be prime minister, who else would be suitable alternatives to the incumbent and her predecessor?
I can’t think of anybody who would be able to withstand the negativity and attacks in the way that PM Gillard has. She has faced more attacks than any of her predecessors, and she has done it with more grace and courage than any of them. I don’t think that could be matched by any member of the Caucus.
Anonymous asked: If Kevin Rudd split from the ALP with several of his backers to form a new party, would you even consider supporting them over the ALP?
The Labor Party has existed for over a hundred years, and it is much bigger than Kevin Rudd or those who support him. I suspect a new party would hit the rocks pretty quickly, and I would not support it.
“Look, the last two presidents could have conceivably been put in jail for their drug use and I really think - look what would’ve happened, it would’ve ruined their lives. They got lucky. But a lot of poor kids, particularly in the inner city, don’t get lucky and they don’t have good attorneys and they go to jail for some of these things and I think it’s a big mistake.”

The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) is currently investigating Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann’s 2012 presidential campaign, on suspicion of improper usage of campaign funds, according to a new report from The Daily Beast. While Rep. Bachmann is not believed to have personally committed any criminal actions, investigators are trying to ascertain whether or not Bachmann was aware of under-the-table payments to several advisers and, if so, when she became aware of the cash transfers. While OCE has no real enforcement powers of any kind, the board does make direct recommendations to the House Ethics Committee, though we don’t suspect the threat of censure (a.k.a a stern talking to from Congress) particularly frightens Rep. Bachmann. (Photo via Gage Skidmore) source

The question of marriage equality is a great American debate. Many people, some with strong religious faith, believe that marriage can only exist between a man and a woman. Other people, many of whom also have strong religious faith, believe that our country should not limit the commitment of…
