atheist?

Not really; more agnostic, though it doesn’t really matter one way or another.

How does it feel having to answer questions from anonymous haters?

Sat, 18 May 2013 20:24:51 +1000

I find it hard to be offended by people who are too cowardly to put their names to hate.

Bradbury has the numbers. It's a Bradburylution!

Say something nice about the Greens.

Okay! Their policy on deciding to attack the Labor Party, argue that Tony will win the next election, and do absolutely nothing to actually advance the progressive cause is just great.

I imagine the next time either of you get pre-selected for an unwinnable seat, you will have a sudden love for AFL!

I endorse and/or reject this message as working families™ in RealTalk suburban ‘straya are doing it tough.

How does it feel going through life as a party hack?

Sat, 18 May 2013 19:57:14 +1000

How does it feel being so gutless and pathetic that you ask the same question nearly every day without putting your name to it?

Do either of you have any interest in AFL?

Sat, 18 May 2013 19:56:07 +1000

I don’t, though thinking about watching a game (performance? showing?) or two. Ryan seems to (something about Tigers?).

You're not watching Eurovision? What does it feel like to not have a soul?

Eurowhat

What party reforms do you think the ALP should introduce?

Sat, 18 May 2013 19:53:12 +1000

I think it would be positive to start with giving the branches some actual power within the party.

Have you been to an AFL game in Mebourne yet?

Sat, 18 May 2013 19:51:39 +1000

Nope.

Why are you not watching Eurovision?

Fri, 17 May 2013 21:31:44 +1000

EuroWHAT

But, like, you do do stuff with Gerbils, right?

Fri, 17 May 2013 21:06:16 +1000

Obviously.

What is your view of the portrayal of LGBTIQ characters in TV shows and the use(s) of stereotypes [where applicable] to define them?

Fri, 17 May 2013 21:04:23 +1000

I think there is a lot to be said for the portrayal of same-sex attracted people on television and in movies. It could fill an essay but briefly I wish that mainstream media outlets would show those who are same-sex attracted in a light that is more normative than is typically the case, while acknowledging that our community is diverse any by nature different.

What was the Miranda Devine Twitter episode?

Fri, 17 May 2013 21:00:52 +1000

I tweeted at her in response to an article, “you’ve had enough of attacking the gays for now i see. great, thanks” and her response was to accuse me of a crude sex act involving animals.

Does it bother you that no one takes you seriously because you have such a predictable, one sided view of every issue?

Fri, 17 May 2013 20:59:09 +1000

I literally get this question every single time, and every time I LITERALLY answer it the same way. I don’t think I’m one sided, and even a cursory look at my views would prove that. Some people see only what they want to see, and from my point of view it’s a bit embarrassing for people who are so short-sighted to throw accusations like hackery around.

Do you like the tight shorts of AFL, or the brawn of Rugby?

Fri, 17 May 2013 20:57:18 +1000

If I’m forced to watch sports it would probably be golf or tennis, and even then I wouldn’t enjoy it.

Have you ever thought about what you'd do if you fell in love with someone whilst you were in a relationship with another person?

Fri, 17 May 2013 20:56:32 +1000

I have not given any thought to that, no.

My bet: If the Miranda thing had never occurred you'd still be a Lib.

Fri, 17 May 2013 20:55:32 +1000

I was never really a Liberal, though I’m open about being a classical liberal a few years ago. I come from a conservative background so it was my default position. As a classical liberal I didn’t really have a party other than the Lib Dems, and lets be honest the only party less respected than them is the Democrats.

I never held the social views of Miranda Devine. I believed then as I believe now that government shouldn’t be making our social decisions for us.
