Also, now I know he was an Australian Idol loser, KMH has a comical song about that dogshit show.

well if its going to go, the government is to go down fighting

Tony Abbott has vowed to oppose the mining tax and all measures that are funded from it. So it is his fault, according to the government, that companies aren't getting a tax cut. And it'll be his fault if the battlers don't get their bonuses.

From the little bit I listened to him on YouTube, it was quite apparent this is true.

Callea is pedestrian, and KMH's uniqueness just makes him seem even more so.

golden handshake over 180k? full 46.5% tax instead of 31.5% (or 16.5% if you were over 55 at the time)

Helps that he has the POWER OF THE THREE.
Battlefield 3
Mass Effect 3
Far Cry 3: Crysis 2

Plus they develop a lot less new IP with their own money lately, most of it is only publishers through the EA Partners program so they can avoid the risk.

Will be interesting if they can do the same next year.

He is just pissed that he missed out on the One Direction boat. Didn't know he was still alive to be honest, must have gone the way of Shannon Noll et al and ended up in the RSL touring circuit.

I'm not really a fan of KMH but even she is more worthwhile to our music industry than that little embarrassing piece of shit. Hell, even the crap that rolls off the current wave of reality TV shows can crap out better music than he has.

His attacks aren't even entertaining, just becoming boring. Give me some better policies and I might think about voting Liberal! I'm worried if we vote them in they won't know what the hell to do since they spend all their time on the internet trying to dig up goss on Labor to take them out.

Yup, DRM free goodness from Remedy. Nice to see them really come to the party since throwing off the shackles of 360 exclusiveness. Even cheaper than the $20 GMG deal back at launch. Also seems to come with the Night Springs and Writer In The Cabin episodes separated out of the game, which is pretty cool for people who just want to watch them as well!

Also did I mention DRM FREE! At this point they obviously don't give a shit about sales since they made their money back within a few hours of it being released on PC.

Ever since 2005 and especially during the 07 election I always thought Wayne Swann was never fit for the public service. The guy is just incompetent and just blames everyone for everything, sure other polies do it, but this piece of work takes the cake. You can always see the bullshit and fear on his face whenever he talks. Who the heck keeps voting for this guy? Stop it already.

Would you prefer Hockey as treasurer? Clive Palmer as member for Lilley? But he is a schmarmy bastard yes, do you really think he's worse than others though? He seems pretty standard pollie to me

As someone commented on GOG, no OST (which sucks, but shouldn't be too hard to find anyway) but for the price, a damn steal.
