What they said…

Some said this business model was too expensive to attract a consumer base.

Some said it was tripe (which it always was intended to be – readily available technology).

Some said it would amount to nothing – and it very well may not.

But let’s put this in perspective.

Rudd is gone, and Gillard has called an election.

The government is secretly trying to monitor your usage, but the filter is on the backburner until after the election.

So maybe not doing a hell of a lot of shit does help. I promise I’ll get that AMI up as soon as I don’t sleep through a weekend. The model is perfect.

Poor ol’ Conroy.

In the meantime I would recommend that you read some publicly available no-nonsense clearly-legible no-nonsense policy.

Register.

Or you could just fuck off. I do mean that. If you’re over 17 and don’t register then… fuck off.

I could explain your obligations to you slightly more politely, but no, if I have to listen to you whinge and complain – whether it be about your mother, computer or uber-president – i want to be assured that you made an effort to misguide your votes out of ignorance.

I’m pretty damn serious about this. All trolls will be asked to state their voting credentials. If they fail they will get flamed.

Note how I still haven’t stated a political affiliation. Aren’t I good.
