Paul Keating can't stop saying stuff. but now that the election is finally over, I think he should get the last word here after all the 'STFU' I've given him.
Saturday night's victory was not just a victory for the Labor Party; it was also a victory for those Liberals like Malcolm Fraser, Petro Georgiou and Judi Moylan, who stood against the pernicious erosion of decent standards in our public affairs.Eleven-and-a-Half Years is a lo-o-ong time. You tell them Paul, and you can come in from the cold now. :)
The Liberal Party of John Howard, Philip Ruddock, Alexander Downer and Peter Costello is now a party of privilege and punishments. One that lacks that most basic of wellsprings: charity.
The French philosophers had it pretty right with the Enlightenment catchcry of liberty, fraternity and equality. There was not much liberty for the boat people, or fraternity for the Aborigines or the Muslims, or equality for the unionists who believed in nothing more revolutionary than the right to collectively bargain.

Ackerman's Lament
Gnash thy avaricious fangs,
O thee whose head dejected hangs.
See the Ruddslide on Youtubes
and beat thy drool-drenched mannyboobs.
Pour ashes of the fascist dead
on your fat and ugly head
deflated by the piercing rays
of the ruddy dawn we praise.
Thy poison conserve smear no more
upon the toasted wholemeal poor.
Sweet to us thy bitter tears
O porcine, corpulent, prurient Piers.
