Christ. One day into the official campaign, and Baillieu already looks like an idiot. In this case, during an interview he attempted to pass off bracksbrokenpromises.com.au as some sort of independent thing.
Pity about the domain being registered by the Victorian Liberals and the website featuring a tagline saying "Authorised by" the state director of the Liberal Party. Even more of a pity for Baillieu, during an interview with 3AW's Neil Mitchell, Mitchell knew this, and made Ted look like a shifty little doofus. The transcript's on the Age politics blog.

In this case the people responsible actually authorised the site correctly. I'd not be at all suprised to see dodgy attempts at negative sites "anonymously" popping up. If you see something dodgy, don't forget to check the 'whois' entry for the domain to see who registered it. There's plenty of web-based interfaces for this - for instance, this one.

Dear god, some how still not quite as ironic as him blaming the problems with the private operators of public transport of labor, I can see the headline tomorrow "Weren’t there more schools around a while ago, blame labor!"

That's not so far fetched, after all the\y went after Bracks for building a toll road.

That's pretty funny, maybe I will pay a little more attention to this election after all.

The Greens vs Fundies First shitfight promises to be entertaining, at the very least. Particularly since it will quite probably expose Senator Fielding (and that hasn't got any easier to type without thinking "WTF?!") as the slow-witted fool that he is.

I think it's good that Baillieu gives listeners a choice. Either they can assume he's lying, in which case, well, he's a liar - or they can assume he's telling the truth, and is such an idiot that he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about or the workings of his own party.

But he lets you be the judge. That's sweet.

Yep. I love that the choices are "shameless arsehole" or "useless twat". It's a tough tough call.

*snicker* That's really rather beautiful.
