I have been so busy between work and the election that I haven't been back here to post lately. At least there is only one week left to go. I have been posting at my other two sites though.
Check out Transit WA if you get bored and if ya like you can also visit my new election blog at A Green Election which will focus more on what its like to be a candidate instead of the election itself.

The Launch
I would like to officially launch my campaign as the Greens WA Candidate for the seat of Armadale.
Go over to my profile on the Greens WA website and check out my tired looking mug.
I shouldn't do too badly. The sitting member for Armadale looks as tired as I do.

Too Good to Miss
I thought this story was too good to go unnoticed so here it is in its entirety as seen on News.com.au
Just lie back and think of dole
From correspondents in London

A 25-year-old German woman is risking her unemployment benefits after refusing to be a prostitute.
The woman, an unemployed information technology worker, was contacted by her local job centre telling her an employer was interested in her "profile", Britain's Daily Telegraph reported. She was not told who the employer was.
The woman said she was willing to work in a bar at night and had worked in a cafe.
Only when she phoned did she discover she was being recruited by a brothel.
Prostitution has been legal in Germany for two years.
Under Germany's welfare laws, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including in the sex industry – or lose her unemployment benefit.
The woman cannot even sue the job centre because the job centre is not breaking the law.
Job centres can be sued by employers if they do not cut benefits to people who turn down jobs.
