Australians and asylum seekers: not in my backyard

Tony Abbott managed to get a great deal of mileage out of the asylum seeker debate during the 2013 election campaign and during his time in opposition.

I often wondered if his nasty inhuman stance was just him being contrary, in order to differentiate himself from the Gillard/Rudd government and attract the heartless Australian heartlanders.

Well, I no longer need to wonder.

Fuck off Krispy Kreme

It has been a long time since I have written anything here. Since Obama got in, and then Rudd, it has simply been a time to sit back and "wait and see".

I was jolted out of my reverie, not by miners stuck in a hole, not by the Greens finally getting the recognition and support they deserve, but by the fact that Krispy Kreme is going the way of Starbucks in Australia, as reported by the good old ABC today.

Krispy Kreme in voluntary receivership.

Although we (Oceania) are still saturated with this form of carcenogenic colonialism in the form of McDonalds, KFC, Hungry Jacks, Wendy's and all of the other fetit fat fryers, this is one step in the right direction.

Fuck off Krispy Kreme!
