For anyone that can be bothered to read it ... why is our government hated so much? .

The country is running perfectly fine relative to pretty much every other developed nation, however, there are 'political' problems that are dragging the government down...

Poor communication of its ideas.
E.g. when we think political issues right now, our good economic performance is not going to be the 1st thing that comes up in conversation.

Lack of engagement with the electorate about policy
E.g. voters do not feel involved in the decision-making process, the government appears to be more interested in a popularity contest than listening to what people actually want. That sounds clichéd, but it's true.

Weak leadership
E.g. Julia Gillard and her ministry seem to have no clear principles behind what they are doing. Of course, a politician is allowed to change their mind on issues, but when they change the core principles behind what they are doing without explanation, it becomes even harder than normal to genuinely believe in what they are saying.

Tony Abbott is not any better. His only advantage is that he has 1 clear principle - oppose everything that the government says and repeat that message continuously. I can't even think of one of his policies that doesn't involve getting rid of a government policy.

if the word count i wrote at the end of my assignment was 100 words lower then the real word count would i get away with it?

Yes .

There was an assignment of ours, and we had to write two hundred words on some junk, and most of our class was really lazy, so we wrote it in class on the day it was due .
This guy just wrote a hundred words, then copy-pasted it to the bottom of his word document in white so it was invisible, then showed the teacher his word count .

he didnt pick choc whatmough, the watmough-stewert-stewert combo is lethal, especially if they go Lyon to play too, and Tony williams wtf yeah he was playing well before his suspension, but he hasnt played footy for like 6 weeks ffs
there are better backrowers then burher too

Michael Jennings should have been picked for the Reds instead. Then he'd rugby the rugby at them and if he rugbied the hardest then he would be proclaimed the lord of rugby. Because rugby.

How was that?

burher picked cause he can be a utility and cause the alwaysbeenrubbish player kurt gidley is injured, and apparently according to king ricky being in a premiership winning team is good enough, even if you're entire roll is to be named on the bench every so often. understand the t-rex thing from your point i guess, prolly picked to jump into the centers and try and stop inglis cause they're both quick monsters, but we'll see. Luke Lewis > Watmough loljks

their maroon not red, atndanyway Michael Jennings (unfortunately) plays for the blues not the maroons, even though hes born in the same town as on the QLDs best players

great result by the giants today, getting their first win ever against the rampaging strong gold coast

yeah Williams got picked for his size, but honestly Morris couldve played in the centreres, Bird plays utility off the bench (hes more versatile then burher, can play back row lock and in the halves) and then whatmough moves into the starting side

ahh good, this section had gotten a bit quiet lately

[CBarca]

Cb,I played it,and was sheting in my way through.it's really scary since it's in first person. Wait until you get into the part where the place if flooded and you hear creatures running in the water

Argh I've heard about that part...i'm literally still at the beginning and I'm still scared as hell. It's terrible, because I never watch any scary movies, or play scary games, so even hearing the damn monsters has me running and yelling. I seriously haven't seen a monster in person yet and it's still scary as hell, messes with your mind. Not looking forward to the water part...or any other part of the game tbh

I'm actually kinda scared to play it, I always end up clicking dat FM2012 instead, being the safe option

^ No spoiler alert?

Nah. I already knew about it. The story, on the other hand, I have no idea about.
