Fucking Australia. How the fuck can you continually vote in a fuck like John Howard, who has managed Bush's trick of appealing to rich and poor by following economic policies to make the rich richer and screw the poor, who nonetheless vote for him because he's "tough on immigration". No, of course those race riots have nothing to do with your "terrorists under your bed" propaganda. You know what was a great idea of yours? Posting fridge magnets to the entire country that say "be alert, not alarmed." Well done John! We'd better all keep an eye on those darkies that aren't fair dinkum aussies like us, eh?

Howard just passed a law abolishing compulsory union fees for uni students, so not only are facilities for sport and activities going to be starved of funds, but student activism will be crippled so there'll be less criticism as your govt continues to destroy higher education. one of his fucking ministers even let this slip: "Now they will have to perform on merit to win the voluntary support of students instead of automatically receiving large sums of money for their own political purposes." We wouldn't want students having political purposes now would we?

Another great thing you did John. Taking away the automatic right to 4 weeks paid holiday. That was fabulous! Giving the workers the "choice" to work two of those weeks to earn more money. That was thoughtful of you. And what will happen when workers want their four weeks but the company wants them to take only two? How will anybody prove that they were fired because of that? What's that? They won't be able to will they? Well done John!

You are a racist shit, you try to ignore the existence of the country's indigenous population, you have divided the country and set people against each other, you have set worker's rights back decades, you have silenced opposition and stirred up fear of immigrants. You have profited from ex Pauline Hanson voters who now vote for you even as you screw them out of their own job security. You are taking Australia to a dangerous place and now the world is beginning to see what has been brewing there. Distrust, fear and ignorance.

You promised you would "never ever" institute a GST, then you went and did it. You refuse to say sorry to indigenous Australians. You are a corporate toady and a perpetuator of nasty stereotypes of what it means to be Australian. No John, those race riots won't tarnish Sydney's image as a multicultural paradise. What are you smoking you self-deceiving fuck?

And the bastard keeps getting voted in, which means I shouldn't be angry at Howard so much as at amy fellow Australians who voted for him. I fucking despair.
