Ah Christ, I’ve just gotten the corflute back from the printers and look at this bullshit:First, why are you calling attention to the authorisation with that damn magnifying glass? I made the font size small for a REASON. Maybe I could cover it with some tape and redo it? And if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: gimme some options.

Blowing their own: Trumpet of Patriots candidate for La Trobe Greg Hardiman has a strong message: “It’s time for real people to step up, put our country first, and fight for policies that work — just like Trump is doing in the US.” And boy, oh boy, does he look real in his beautifully and eerily smooth candidate photo:The artificial softness of Hardiman’s picture is particularly striking among his colleagues.

A matter of debate: The general consensus from Australian newsrooms seems to be that Sky News Australia did a good job with the first leaders’ debate of the election this week.
