Kite Of Mass Destruction

Can someone tell me how high you need to be before you enter 'airspace'?

During this years protests at the Baxter detention centre in South Australia it seems that a woman was arrested for flying a kite in restricted air space.




Have the media forgotten to report on something? Was this woman trying to fly it into the detention centre to drop off something?

If the only story here is that this poor woman was flying a kite in the wrong place then congratulations go out to the South Australian police, you have officially over reacted.

International Sport? Not In WA!

Since 1989 Perth has been the proud host of a FIA World Rally Championship round. Every year thousands of WA locals have been able to hold their heads high knowing that we had something out eastern states relatives didn't. Thanks to our newly elected government that could all change very shortly.




Today Tourism Minister Mark McGowan stated that the government are looking to end the contract with the FIA with the final Rally Australia to be at the end of the year. Claiming dwindling returns he said that the governments $4.7 million investment in the event could be better spent on other events and promotions.

So its goodbye to international fame (even if it is only in rally circles) and hello to Perth where?

I Am God!

Those of you who thought I was joking when I said that I am a God because I can create my own people be amazed as I have replicated that feat again. Eventually I will have made enough to create an army that will crush those that stand in my way.




Bow down before me now and join my army or die in the wake for I am God.

Results

Counting as finally finished and a result was declared at 90.38% of the votes.

Overall I came in fourth behind the Christian Democratic Party. I could gripe and say that if they just counted all of them I could have made it into third spot since I was making ground towards the end but it is unlikely.




The final results of Armadale are as follows.

  • BUSBY - IND 444 1.86%
  • MacTIERNAN - ALP 13,095 54.96%
  • GOIRAN - CDP 1,317 5.53%
  • BRENNAN - GRN 1,171 4.91%
  • JOHNSON - LIB 6,250 26.23%
  • RICHARDS - CEC 92 0.39%
  • BUTLER - ONP 700 2.94%
  • COULES - FFP 757 3.18%

    Polling

    The election is finally over and all there is left is the final counting. Unless there is a big surge of support from the remaining booths I will not have gained ground over the last result for the Greens in Armadale. If the trend continues to the end I will finish fourth behind the Christian Democratic Party. The party that claims that I am morally corrupt.




    The divide between the have and have nots of politics are most apparent on election day, the major parties choosing to blanket each polling place with slogans and pictures of middle age try hards who are no smarter then Mr Joe Average while the Greens place one sign at each booth.


    Where's the Green?

    I spent the day traveling to most of the polling places that had Greens volunteers. I would like to thank each and every one of them for coming out, some for the whole day, and giving a great contribution to the Greens, to democracy and to the push for a safer, tolerant and a more harmonious society.

    I will make sure to post the final primary results as soon as I see them.
