There's not going to be much left...

The Australian: Human rights 'at a crossroads' [October 23, 2004]

There's not point crying over spilt milk, I know, but the prospect of the next three years just really sucks.

And here's something that makes me cranky: the Customs Officers strike (more from Rob). Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but in the 'current security environment' we need to protect ourselves from threats, right? But... hey, we don't really need people to do that for us, right? Or at least we don't have to give them proper pay and conditions; after all, Industrial Relations is lame, right?

Everyone's freaked out about terrorism, so fair enough we need more protection at airports and the rest of it. So... employ enough people and pay them properly to protect us, you morons. You can't eat the cake, people, you can't eat the cake.

And in news I wasn't able scoff at on Wednesday due to internet-oddness: Murdoch-owned paper rejects ad for 'Outfoxed'. Aren't they embarrassed? Seriously, it's just so stupid! Media Watch picked it up on Monday.
